Luvah

Luvah is a new up and coming hip hop rapper I saw at a club in Washington, DC called the Red Lounge. She had spent a few years dancing in videos till she switched roles and decided to become a rapper. Her soundcloud mix tape is excellent and Azur Magazine feels Luvah will practially become a house hold name in the record industry within the next coming years. Luvah will be featured in the 1st issue of Azur Magazine and she'll be listed as a top article.

Ok . .I'm enjoying myself at a club called Red Lounge on 14th st. and Ust. . .where several rappers take the stage on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Wednesdays are usually low in crowd volume . .down to about two couples in the back, on couple near the bar and me watching the show . . .but, oddly, about thirty people walked into the venue on this particular night. A female college looking student began dancing to the beat, in front of me. A group of young men sat near the bar and began laughing and drinking. Before I could ask what was going on . . .a femal rapper, named Luvah, took the stage. . and turned this sleepy little club out for about 20 minutes. Everyone began clapping and having fun. The beats were fat and the club was alive . .till Luvah said goodbye and thanks before leaving the stage. In about 10 or 15 minutes, I was, basically, sitting alone in the audience . . waiting for the next act to perform. The club was practically emty . . .and I had realized everyone who had crashed the scene was here to see Luvah. So . . .I woke up after her performance . .got in touch with a few people from the club . . .and found Luvah's soundcloud. I was able to locate this popular rapper from the Red Lounge and speak with her. She was cordial and very easy to get along with. Here is what she had to say . . . . Azur Mag: We got Luvah in the house, right now . .and she's telling me that, basically, some of the gigs at the Red Lounge are whack . . . Luvah: (laughs) . . . Azur Mag: I mean . . that last gig . . .Every body was there . . .there was like twenty or thirty people for you . . .and the minute you walked off stage, every body left . . . Luvah: (Laughs) . . I know . .but . . .half the people, there, I didn't know . . .They were just in the party mood . . . Azur Mag: Dag . . .then they left too . .I mean . . .I didn't even know you knew those people . . .Every body left . . . Luvah: right . .(laughs . . ) I bring the party . . . Azur Mag: Yeah . . .definitely. . . .Alright . .so Why did you name your musical concept Luvah . . .? Where did you come up with the name , Luvah . .or why did you decided to use that name. . .? Luvah: My uncle, back in the day, use to call me Stef Luvah . . .and I just took the Stef off . .like Luvah. . .(laughs . . .) . . .and when I was a dancer . . .hip hop dancer. . ..my nick name was Luvah . . . Azur Mag: Oh . . ok . . . Luvah: I just kept that . . . Azur Mag: How long have you been dancing? Luvah: I've been dancing since I've been five . . .I just, recently, messed my knee up . . . Azur Mag: Oh . . ok. . . Luvah: Yeah . . physical therapy for that . . . Azur Mag: Have you danced in any videos . . or . . .who have you danced with?

Azur Mag: Oh man . . ok let me switch directions . . um . . .What style of rapping would you consider your rapping to be? I mean . . is it just rap . .or is it just hip hop . .or . .is it a particular type of hip hop? Luvah: Naw . .it's just hip hop to me . . . Azur Mag: Ok . .that's cool. . Yeah . .I was reading another bio from another artist . . and he was saying that . . .there are all these genres . . .of hip hop . . .I was like . .dag . . .I was thinking there might be . .like . .southern hip hop . . .or. . .mid west hip hop from Chicago . . . Luvah: Right . . .I just go with the flow . . .we have no . . like . .set genre for me . . .what ever I think sounds dope . . . Azur Mag: Do you compare yourself to female rappers like Lil' Kim . . .and . . or do you have your own style . . . Luvah: Oh no . . .I'm not them . . . Azur Mag: Naw . . yeah . you definitely have your own thing . . . Luvah: I mean . .I listen to them . . .I love them . . .I'm not trying to sound like them . . .I'm just trying to sound like me . . .
