LA’s own radio maven DJ Carisma was a special guest. all attendees were required to wear masks.
“It’s my duty to give back. That’s my hood and those kids are the future,” said Wallie on the event.
There’s no surprise that Wallie was thriving in L.A.’s hip-hop underground with “Scandalous.” The record produced by Drum Drummie (YoungBoy Never Broke Again, OMB Peezy, Kodak Black) spread organically throughout the city with nods from radio including the L.A. Leakers, Nick Cannon Mornings, and Power 106.1’s rotation. He also picked up praise from fellow rappers Rucci and AD, as well as Sacramento’s Mozzy.
