Larry June Makes A Fated Connection In The Sun-Drenched ‘I’ll Make Time’ Video

Larry June keeps it as cool as the September breeze in his new video for “I’ll Make Time.” The San Francisco native has been promoting his new album, Spaceships On The Blade, with a string of sunny but lo-fi videos perfect for the album’s casual vibe. “I’ll Make Time” is no exception, finding Larry cruising through the California desert with the top down and repeatedly crossing paths with a pretty woman on a drive of her own. They don’t meet until near the end of the video, though, when Larry leaves his wallet in a diner after enjoying a glass of his favorite beverage.

I don’t know if you could call what’s happening with Larry June a “breakout.” He’s been around for quite a while and unlike some rappers who explode into the spotlight seemingly all at once with a viral hit, Larry has been easing his way into it, growing his following slowly but organically as his magnetic personality draws in listeners of fellow low-key luxury rappers like Curren$y, Dom Kennedy, and LE$ (all names he’s collaborated with over the years). Rather than pursuing radio or TikTok, Larry keeps up a steady stream of laid-back bangers like “Private Valet,” “Don’t Check Me,” and “Corte Madera, CA,” sticking to his guns and letting the world catch on.

The strategy appears to be working. Larry has secured a co-headlining spot on the returning Red Bull SoundClash with two events alongside Detroiter Babyface Ray in both rappers’ hometowns next month.

Larry June Grows His Legend With A Laid-Back Performance On ‘A COLORS Show’

Good job, Larry, indeed. Larry June, whose legend has been growing by leaps and bounds over the past couple of years is seeing his biggest breakouts in 2022 thanks to his new album Spaceships On The Blade and an increased presence as a coveted feature artist for artists like Jay Worthy, Joey Badass, P-Lo, and Westside Gunn.

The San Francisco native’s California breeze-cool style has proven appealing to hip-hop fans who appreciate the laid-back luxury of his plainspoken, easygoing rhymes, and today, he brings those attributes to his appearance on the ever-popular A COLORS Show, performing Spaceships cuts “Corte Madera, CA” and “Another Day, Pt.2” in front of a sunny yellow background with a Cali streetwear cool guy uniform of a crewneck sweatshirt, baggy khakis, and a Polo bucket hat. He completes the look with a styrofoam cup of tea, shouting out his hosts with his signature ad-lib: “Good job, Colors!”

As further proof of June’s meteoric rise this year, not only has he prominently featured on festival lineups like Rolling Loud, Broccoli City, and Outside Lands, but he’s also soon to feature in the upcoming Red Bull SoundClash across from Babyface Ray in events in both artists’ hometowns. In October, Larry will travel to Ray’s native Detroit, then, in November, he’ll host Ray in his own San Francisco.

Red Bull Soundclash Returns With Babyface Ray, Larry June, And A New Twist

California’s Bay Area and Detroit have always been spiritually linked in hip-hop. Because of a mid-80s migration pipeline that sent frozen-toed Michiganers west for the sunnier climes provided by the Golden State coastline, the two music scenes share a lot in common. From a love of car culture to the off-kilter swing flow that has become common in both cities’ regional sounds, the Bay and Detroit have provided plenty of artists whose origins could just as easily land in one or the other — think MC Breed or any number of newer Motown rappers like Icewear Vezzo and Payroll Giovanni.

Soon, though, those two sides will find themselves embroiled in a friendly competition, courtesy of Red Bull and the Red Bull SoundClash. The fan-favorite battle event is returning this year with a traveling schedule that’ll see two rising rappers — Detroit’s Babyface Ray and San Francisco’s Larry June — face off in each other’s hometowns. They’ll each have an opposing stage and the winner will be determined by crowd reactions via a decibel reader. The cool part is, because of the Bay/Detroit connection, there might not be much of a hometown advantage for either.

In addition to those two battles, a third will take place in Houston featuring a unique cross-genre clash between modern-day blues man Gary Clark Jr. and chopped-and-screwed aficionado Paul Wall. That should be interesting in its own right, thanks to the odd blend of music styles from both Texas natives.

The schedule can be found below, and you can find more info here.

10/15: Babyface Ray vs. Larry June – Detroit
11/3: Larry June vs. Babyface Ray – San Francisco
11/10: Gary Clark Jr. vs. Paul Wall – Houston

This past weekend, D’USSÉ Cognac opened the Made in America event in Philadelphia, which featured headliners Tyler The Creator, Pusha T, Jazmine Sullivan, Lil Uzi Vert, and Pusha T.

Before rap singer Flo Milli took the stage at the Freedom Stage, VIP Lounge visitors were treated to a custom celebrity cocktail-making class inside the D’USSÉ headquarters with D’USSÉ global ambassador Sullivan Doh. For a brief while on Saturday afternoon, cocktail workshop attendees were the only ones to receive the off-menu “Golden Fashioned” cocktail, which contained D’USSÉ XO, chocolate bitters, and gold dust. Between sessions, guests could unwind with delicious meals from Brotherly Grub, Philadelphia’s 2021 Black Restaurant Award Winner.

D’USSÉ also collaborated with the New Rory & MAL podcast for a special live podcast activation backstage in the Artist Village. The duo interviewed festival artists and industry heavyweights like JID, Larry June, Babyface Ray, Armani White, DIXSON, D Dot, and Elliot Wilson while enjoying D’USSE. Discussion topics included new songs, festival highlights, hot thoughts on music, and more. Later this week, all streaming services will have access to the entire special Made in America episode with New Rory & MAL.

Larry June’s ‘Spaceships On The Blade’ Is Out And It Has Fans Fawning Over Its Undeniably Cool Touch

Larry June just unveiled his new LP Spaceships On The Blade after building anticipation with singles and videos like “Don’t Check Me” and “Private Valet.” It finally came out yesterday, and now social media is overflowing with appreciation from fans, especially for its suave feeling.

“Larry June be rapping bout drinking apple juice and make that sh*t sound so fly,” one person wrote. Another praised, “Ya’ll wasn’t lying this Larry June really sliding song for song no skips.” Yet another added, “I love Larry June. Man raps about good credit, smoothies, expensive candles, a healthy lifestyle and financial freedom. I’ll take all that good energy on a beat!”

The 20-track album includes features from Herm Lewis, 2 Chainz, Duckwrth, Syd, Babyface Ray, and Curren$y. Spaceships arrives just under five months after June’s collaborative project 2 P’z In A Pod, with Jay Worthy and Lndn Drgs. “That’s really my brother u don’t meet many people in this industry that are solid and genuine like that,” Worthy said in a statement. “We really a team and it’s deeper then than rap with us, it’s family! Larry the only person who truly understood the Lndn Drgs sound. If you notice, Larry June the only other rapper other than myself who receives production from Sean House.”

Larry June Beams Under The West Coast Sun In His Laid Back ‘Don’t Check Me’ Video

Larry June is secure in who he is, and for anyone who has doubts about his ability or him the man, he has one simple message in his record: “Don’t Check Me.” The new video finds rapper smoking per usual, convening with his crew, and riding around in a droptop with the clear assertion “Don’t check me, check that b*tch.”

The vintage visual filter on top of the California-heavy drums and synths provides a classic feel. Though June prospers in this current era, he also serves as a reminder of the greatness the West Coast has produced for decades now.”Play by the rules man, you know how it go,” the rapper spits.

“Don’t Check Me” arrives as part of Larry June’s new album Spaceships On The Blade. The 20-track offering includes features from Herm Lewis, 2 Chainz, Duckwrth, Syd, Babyface Ray, and Curren$y. June, a known frequent releaser, drops Spaceships off just under five months since his collaborative project 2 P’z In A Pod with Jay Worthy and Lndn Drgs. If that’s not enough of an indicator of his work ethic, just six months earlier he released his seven-song project Into The Late Night.

Check out the video for “Don’t Check Me” above.

Spaceships On The Blade is out now via The Freeminded Records and Empire. Listen to it here.
