South Central LA native RJMrLA pulled up to our UpNext series to chat with DJ Felli Fel and perform for an intimate crowd inside the Power 106 studios. RJ made waves in 2013 with his official debut mixtape, O.M.M.I.O. (On My Mama I’m On) which was followed by a string of high-profile collaborations with names like Ty Dolla $ign, ScHoolboy Q, Quavo and YG. While sitting down with Felli, RJMrLA talks about his beginnings in hip hop, early-career struggles, grinding as an independent artist and going viral on TikTok. He also gets into his newest project, OMMIO Grillz with DJ Drama, and the role that his LA Leakers freestyle played in solidifying that collaboration.
