HBK Gang rapper and producer P-Lo serves up his latest project today, Before Anything. The 7-track effort showcases guest appearances by G-Eazy, Jay Ant, 1-O.A.K., and more. In regards to the project, Before Anything has a lot of meanings,” P-Lo explained to The FADER:

Most of them are personal, but of course it’s also a little bit about being from the Bay: “It’s really me just letting the people know who I am and what I’m capable of. Before Anything is me taking stand on where I am in my life, where I have been, and where I want to go. It’s a lot of different styles and sounds, and that’s real representative of who I am, growing up in the Bay Area made me such a complex human being, sometimes I’m hyphy, sometimes I’m real player, sometimes I’m in my feelings, sometimes I want to inspire others, but at the end of day I’m human and thats where the music comes from. The music comes from experiences in my life, and before anything thats what I want people to take from it.”
Before Anything is the first in a series of projects P-Lo has planned; listen below and keep an eye out for the next, #MoreThanAnything.
