The topic was also a point of contention that inspired the opening lyrics for Blxst’s
No Love Lost (Deluxe) additional track “Pressure,” for he revved up the track with, “Ayy, I ain’t heard one bad Blxst song/’Gevity gon’ last long/He the new Nate Dogg, He the West backbone.”
“I’m ‘me,” that’s Nate Dogg – no disrespect to [Nate Dogg’s] legacy, of course,” Blxst explained. “That’s a good comparison but I just want people to accept my growth, my flaws and all.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Blxst credited the writing and tutelage of Eric Bellinger with being his first taste of professionalism within the music industry. His fellow Cali-bred artist emerged as a force within R&B last decade penning hits for Justin Bieber, Teyana Taylor, Trey Songz, and of course, Chris Brown and not only showed his protégé the ropes – but how to tie the knot as well.
