About this episode

Adrian Marcel discusses his music journey and influences in a throwback interview with Neeko.

Before the platinum moments and major recognition, trapLA caught up with East Oakland’s own Adrian Marcel for a real conversation with Neeko. In this throwback interview, Adrian talks about his project GMFU , the single “Mobin,” and linking heavy hitters like Too Short, Lil Boosie, and MCity Jr. for the record. He also breaks down his creative process, the West Coast influence behind his sound, and why he wanted to make music that brings people together instead of dividing them. This one is a real time capsule for fans of Adrian Marcel and anybody who appreciates West Coast R&B with game, soul, and purpose.
