1:03:18Now PlayingIn this new VladTV exclusive, Valee explained his early musical influences and his journey into the industry. Valee mentioned he was born in the Robert Taylor homes but moved shortly after to another dangerous place in Chicago. He mentioned the strong influence of female artists like Whitney Houston, Sade, and Jill Scott on his music taste because of their constant presence in his home growing up. He talked about his previous history making beats and how he would later establish a home studio after a spur-of-the-moment decision to buy recording equipment instead of a gaming system. The rapper also explained how he developed skills in carpentry and auto-mechanics before establishing relationships with Midwest industry figures like John Monopoly and Fake Shore Drive's Andrew Barber. Valee shared his experiences with GOOD Music and offered his thoughts on various rappers adopting his signature flows. To hear more, check out the full interview above.
