Kris Wu stopped by the Liftoff to talk with the La Leakers Justin Credible and Dj Sour Milk about some upcoming projects he has. 

Wu who was born in China and raised in Canada has so much going on including a concert coming up with the one and only Pharell. 

When talking about his upbringing in the hip-hop industry, Wu says that basketball was that gateway. “Because of basketball, that’s what brought me into hip-hop. that’s like a 5th element in hip-hop almost. one of my early influences was Allen Iverson, he really brought the street culture on to the courts.”

Some of his major influences from the west cost that inspire his music include names like, 50 Cent, Snoop Dogg, Drake, and Bone Thugs And Harmony. 

Wu transitions into talking about meeting with Pharell saying, “he just has an ora around him,” which is what most people say about his positive vibe.
