In a recent interview with VladTV, rising rapper Band$ From Tha Rose discussed his stance on music collaborations and the ongoing tensions between Norteño and Sureño gang affiliates. While acknowledging the detrimental effects of rap beefs, he emphasized his general aversion to dissing others in his music, labeling it as "corny" and counterproductive.
When questioned about collaborating with Sureño-affiliated artists, Band$ expressed uncertainty, stating he is not opposed to the idea but remains cautious due to potential backlash. He underscored the importance of not alienating his community or "shitting where I eat."
Amidst discussions about a jail truce between Norteños and Sureños, Band$ described it more as a ceasefire rather than a genuine reconciliation. Reflecting on the broader music scene, he drew comparisons to the evolving Crip and Blood dynamics in L.A., suggesting that unity could unlock significant financial opportunities for artists on both sides. Despite the current divides, Band$ remains hopeful for a future of collaboration and bridge-building, emphasizing the power of unity and open-mindedness in the industry.
