At first, similar to the $500k vs. Dinner with Jay Z conversations, I would say that Lon6z was an idiot for turning down the $20k, but in his particular case, he might have made the right move.
Let me explain.
Lon6z is a rapper. There are approximately at last count 39 million rappers in the world. One of the ways you can stand out is if you get co-signed by another established rapper. The chances that I would have heard Lon6z music before today was none and none, but because he took the dinner with Boosie, I did hear his song that included Mr. Boosie.
I am sure others who may have never heard of him also listened to the song.
Does it mean that Lon6z will be the next Drake? Probably not, but is it possible this viral attention will help his career absolutely.
Once again, if you work at Target, never turn down money to meet a celebrity. There is nothing Lil Boosie can tell you that will make you climb the ladder at McDonald’s. Take the money and run.
Here is a little more info about Lon6z if you care to partake.
Allante DeBrill (born September 13, 1990), known professionally as Lon6z, is an American rapper, singer, and songwriter from Dayton, Ohio. He is best known for his singles Favor 2016, For You 2017, Blue Cheese 2018, Run It Up 2020. In 2018 Lon6z took his talents to Los Angeles, CA, where he was able to work as an audio engineer for major artists like Flo-Rida, P-Lo, Kehlani, and more. He even ghostwrote and co-wrote songs for top rappers, R&B, and pop artists. Although Lon6z’s journey led him to behind-the-scenes production, he was able to drop many projects and singles. Lon6z is very versatile when it comes to his music due to him being able to tap into different genres from Hip-Hop, R&B to even Rap. Many people compare him to artists such as Tory Lanez, Chris Brown, and Fabolous.
Lon6z is an intelligent guy. Get your money behind the scenes while working on your solo stuff. It worked for Kanye (hopefully, he doesn’t go crazy like YE).
