Love, Bcray by Bcray…OUT NOW!
“This album tells the story of her challenges with love and lust, and how hard it was to move forward from sinful desires. It explains eventually how Bcray and her ways must be eliminated in order to be saved by YAH her heavenly father.”
Right before Bcray released her new album ‘Love, Bcray’ she invited us into her studio for an early listen. But before we got to the album, she shared with us her journey into the art of music. Bcray is a former Pro athlete, competing overseas (Finland,Germany,China) for a few years chasing her dreams as a hooper. She talked about how the traveling experience made her stronger overall; playing in another country & coming home for the summer without a job got hard…and at one point left her homeless. This was the turning point in Bcray’s career, the music grind got real. Making music was something she was always passionate about, but once she put the ball down and started applying that same work ethic to the music her life changed. So here we are, in Orange County listening to her new project, which she described as a letter to her fans as well as to herself. To keep up with Bcray follow her on instagram: @officialbcray & listen to her new album here.

INTERVIEW
Question 1:What inspired you?
I was inspired by adversity. Growing up I didn’t have much, a lot of my family was involved in substance abuse, gangs, or they were in jail. Music helped me release my thoughts and stay out of that world. It gave me a safe place and a way to express myself. My brother (Acetunez) and I started as a group together and that kept us going. We wanted to make it out with our art and so that inspired us everyday. I also get inspired by experiences I could be with a bunch of friends one day and then think of a random beat or song. The experience of living life itself inspires me to talk about it! All praise to the Most High for the gift of music.
Question 2:What advice do you have for the youth?
Don’t forget why you started. Remember that you do it because of your love for the craft not for opinions of others. There will be people out there that don’t support you maybe even family, but keep grinding. If you are doing what you truly love no one will be able stop you! There are also gonna be times where you feel like you wanna quit, that’s when you gotta work even harder to get over that wall. We get tested for a reason and that is to see if our heart is really in it.
