Raw Sewage: This is an exclusive Raw Sewage interview with one of the most talented new voices in Bay Area rap today: Blast Holiday.
The first time I heard of you was on HD’s Extortion Muzik Vol. 1, but it wasn’t until I heard your verse on “Ice City Nights” off of Lil Rue’s Stars N Straps album that I started to think of you as a fully realized lyricist in your own right instead of just another Bearfaced feature artist. Now of course you have your own movement going and a steadily growing fanbase around the Bay Area, and I thought now would be a good time to get to know the man behind Lost N Da Muzik a little better. To do that, we’re going to ask you about your music career, growing up in North Oakland, your family and whatever else we can think of.
Blast Holiday: Yeah, that sounds good.
RS: What does the name Blast Holiday mean?
BH: Well, Blast Holiday comes from my brother Mr. Morpheus (RIP) who passed away, and actually to keep it a hundred I was in jail… I had caught a violation. I was in my cell and shit, and my brother died; I was like I ain’t rapping no more, I had just quit rapping. And I had went to sleep, and on my life, I had a dream… my nigga came to me in a dream, it was like, bruh, you can’t stop bruh, you gotta keep going. I’m living through you, I ain’t got it like you, you too raw… everybody on you. I’m like fuck it, I’m finna do my street thing, you feel me? I swear to God this nigga dead though, in my dream like, Nah bruh you gotta keep pushing, I’ma guide your pencil. Don’t trip, just let me be your pencil. I woke up out my sleep and I had wrote a rap; I had wrote my name in there, I said something in the rap to the point that I had said it was Blast Holiday the Most. And I was like ‘that’s it’ you feel me? When I said that, I just knew it was it, I started saying it like fuck it, it’s me.
RS: That was that?
BH: That was it.
