The Kid LAROI Remembers His "Firsts" | Teen Vogue

first time that hung out with junk cook the music video shoot for too much that was the first time we actually got to properly hang it's interesting right cuz he doesn't speak a lot of English I obviously don't speak Korean so so it was like an interesting hang cuz a lot of it is just like Vibes and like energy and we obviously had like a translator we laughed a lot during that time we laughed a lot made a lot of jokes hi team V it's the kid L Roy and these are some of my first I think the first time I ever introduced myself is that was probably like a probably like a meeting or something even still I don't like go to people and be like hi my name is the kleroy my first impression of Justin I just remember being like wow he's really nice I mean we we met in the studio but it was kind of like a listening party situation he dm'd me on Instagram I just remember that being like really like crazy for me especially at the time and I remember he like hit me he was like Hey like I have the song that I really see you on and that was like a big moment for me the first time we actually hung was when we played basketball together at his house I would get a shot in or something he' just like P me up i' be like good job but like if I missed one he'd be like come on buddy like next time like you have it you have it like keep going he was just really encouraging do you want to know my current impression I love him still I that would just be funny if I was like current impression he's theing worst you know what I'm saying that would be that would be that' be funny but unfortunately no fortunately what what I saying fortunately he is the greatest still so I heard Central sea song loading when it came out in 2020 I believe I think I reached out after that and we just kind of say cool he came out at reading leads with me in 2021 which is a really cool moment that was really dope and from there we just kind of like stayed in contact whatever and I was just always trying to find the right record for him and I really like the idea of this one cuz it was like fun and and and fresh and and something that we both had never really done before so I was just like be cool I'm trying to practice like not using my phone in the morning at all CU I always notice when I wake up and look directly at my phone it's just creates a bad day for me so who the hell wants to wake up and look at like that be yeah no but it happens unfortunately my breakfast consists of every morning by the way this is like ritual it's my favorite meal of the day egg whites turkey bacon or like sausage sourdough toast and a cup of black coffee and like sometimes like breakfast potatoes if I'm like at a restaurant first time that hung out with junk cook it was at the music video shoot for too much it was the first time we actually got to properly hang it's interesting right cuz he doesn't speak a lot of English I obviously don't speak Korean so so it was like an interesting hang cuz a lot of it is just like Vibes and like energy and we obviously had like a translator and stuff he's just like super super kind super sweet like we we laughed a lot during our time we left a lot made a lot of jokes I had him try a Vite for the first time pranked him a little bit told him it was chocolate and that was funny he was like what the hell he was like this doesn't taste like chocolate it tastes like veggies and I was like we laughed a lot he's very kind and uh yeah cool dude cool ass dude I mean I drink lots of water I mean it's kind of boring the last tour that we just went on the first thing that we would do after the shows we kind of had this like Nerf gun um war going on throughout the entire tour so like I would get off stage and I'd instantly go to the room and load up my Nerf gun CU we just couldn't be quot lacking that was like the whole thing at any point of the day someone could come in and just light you up with the N gun so I would we would go right to it like after the show we get right to it and then probably go get some food and yeah if we're talking about Australia I wasn't like super big or anything I just had some stuff on like SoundCloud and stuff like that but um if we're talking about like in America I think I was walking through the mall with my buddy arar and it was right after my first of a Cole Bennett video was put out a group of kids like recognized me and I just remember being like holy like this was like literally like days after it came out like that like that's when it felt like oh my god dude people are start to this is really this is really crazy I don't know if I like get as hyped about like followers and stuff anymore it's just more so like when um when people like the music I think that's when I get the most excited I mean the first big purchase well I rented a I rent the moment I signed a record deal I rented a house back home for a couple of months but in terms of like something I bought like in had I went to the store in Sydney and I bought like three pairs of Amir jeans that was like wa I can't believe I just spent this much money on jeans like that's crazy I think it was mc6 that was my first ever stage name and it's was just cuz MC like rapper and oh always like was like I don't know I've been kind of like trying to rap since I was 6 years old as funny as that sounds like you know just yeah that's when I started like loving music I think I still remember like the first ever thing that I wrote I set a bar in there about like you need a CO exhibit to come and pimp your ride cuz like that was like my favorite show at the time when I was a kid I just remember that b being a standout I was really proud of it so the first and only time that I've been to the Grammys was last year and I was having having a bad week I was having a even voice day and I just was like going through the motions and just like not feeling it so it was honestly like as cool as as it is to go to the Grammys I was just like in such a such a such a thing that I just like wasn't I I I I feel like I wasn't present I wasn't taking it in so like I didn't have the best experience but um so yeah there it is I guess the brutally honest version of my first time at the Grammys yeah anytime you go to any award show it's like like overwhelming you're like put up against other people and other peers and stuff and everyone's feeling a little like vulnerable or a little like insecure at least I know I do 100% And like some other people I've talked to you're in a whole another mind frame you're doing interviews you're doing all this other stuff you're like overwhelmed and it's just you're not sometimes feeling your best and you're feeling anxious about like Awards or people choosing your stuff or whatever it is and um so that in itself is like an overwhelming thing and then just like not being in the right mindset for that it's just like a combination for like disaster my first date it depends what you count as a date I think like something that could be counted as like a date date is probably probably probably go-karts I think I love go- cotting I'm sure I like went on like mini dates or something when I but like something that felt like an actual date was probably yeah going go cotting I was 16 I was like super young I might have been like 5 years old or something and I remember like watching a um a Britney Spears music video and that was the first time that I was like wo like I was like wow I think I'm in love with Britney spin the first part of my nighttime routine is brushing my teeth and then I wash my face and then I do like a little skin care situation I've been trying to read read books recently but like I'm so my attention span is like trying to work on that um I listen to a lot of music I've been watching Entourage a lot recently I love that show show is insane um I like Crush like five seasons of that in like weeks so celebrate probably celebrate music being out yeah might just have some people over at the house or something or I go to a restaurant I don't know thank you team vog for having me I am the kid L Roy and these were my first
