The Grynd Report sits down w/ Lando for an exclusive interview! @RIP_Lando


What’s going on Lando? Please introduce yourself and tell us where you’re from.
What’s up? I’m Lando, 1/4 of Da Brotherhood from Anne Arundel County, MD currently residing in San Diego, CA.

What was your inspiration to become a music artist?
I was inspired mostly by the movie “8 Mile”. Growing up I had always listened to artists such as Eminem, Ludacris, Snoop Dogg, Scarface and many more. Also I wrote poetry and short stories in school. But the movie is what made me want to paint a picture with music. So the rest is history.

With so many independent artists out here what makes you different & sets you apart?
That’s a good question. But I’d have to say my difference is what sets me apart. In my music you get that feel of an authentic person. I’m not attempting to act tough or have a persona. I’m just me and people appreciate that most.

For those who may not have heard your music, how would you describe it?
I’d describe my music like a smooth flight. From takeoff to the landing, you get to enjoy every moment. Service is great, the view outside is amazing. That’s the best way I can describe it.

What’s your current single and where can we find it?
Just recently released my album “Theory of Art & Soul” and people can find that on soundcloud.com/lando_89/sets/theory-of-art-soul Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal and all other streaming outlets.

Also people can listen to my group Da Brotherhood’s mixtape “The Reunion Vol.1” on soundcloud.com/brotherhood410/sets/the-reunion-vol-1

When you step in the studio, what are some things you must have on deck?
Some thing I must have is my phone. That’s where I write, well more so type all my lyrics. I don’t bring anything else but that. Other than that all I require is good vibes and an open mind.

How did you come up with your name?
My name is what my friends call me. My real name is Orlando but everyone just says Lando for short. I remember one always yelling out “Lando lakes straight butter, what’s good fam?” Every time he saw me in school or outside chilling. So it pretty much stuck from there.

Tell everyone where they can find you? [Websites, Social media, Booking info etc]
People can find me on twitter and Instagram @rip_lando and they can find Da Brotherhood on twitter, Instagram, and Facebook @brotherhood410. For booking please contact brotherhood@firstclassent.co
