Along side Erykah Badu The Kid Laroi's mother also played fugees in their house as they were growing up, so naturally he was influenced by them as well. We can see the Fugees's influence on The Kid Laroi through the type of beats The Kid Laroi raps on and the way he raps and the kind of emotion they emit.

As Laroi's mom used to play a lot of Erykah Badu when he was growing up he was influenced by her work too especially the R&B aspect as we can directly see it in The Kid Laroi's work by the way he write, sing and performs the chorus of his songs which has the R&B aspect. The great example for this would be his very famous mixtape F*** LOVE where we can see the influence of Erykah Badu throughout the whole album.

Juice WRLD is one of the biggest influence of The Kid Laroi as Juice WRLD mentored him in the early stages of his career. According to The Kid Laroi Juice WRLD influenced him in a lot of ways for example, rather than writing songs in advance like he used to he started to freestyle record his songs or how Juice WRLD taught him how important focusing on some emotions were while making music.

My First influence is The kid Laroi. He is a very big influence on me and my work generally as he is the same age as me and he made a path for himself in the music industry. Being from Australia he made a big name for himself internationally for his songs and his melodic rap style. As it is very difficult to make a buzz in the music industry let alone being from a totally different place apart from the USA, he still did it and made it big by getting recognised by the Artists such as Juice WRLD and his label GRADE A. To summarise how he really influenced me is by showing us how anybody no matter the place, no matter, the country can still get into the music industry if you put the work in.

My third influence is the K Pop group Stray Kids. The way they influence me is by the way the work as a group each member has their own role within the group unlike some other K Pop group. For example the members Bang chan, Changbin and Han collectively known as 3RACHA are the producer line of the group who are responsible for the production of beats, lyrics and all the production related work. Similarly the members Felix, Hyunjin and Leeknow collectively known as DANCERACHA are responsible for the dances for each song that they release. Unlike other groups Stray Kids also have a unique sound to their music which is dark but at the same time euphoric and upbeat in a weird way.

My Second influence is J Cole. The way that J Cole influences is through his lyrics and the way he writes his songs. The metaphors, the witty word plays and the double entendres within his lyrics are very high leveled, for example like in the song Johnny P's Caddy he says "Some see the glass as empty, I see a glass full of ether
Collectin' his bread in mass like he a Catholic preacher
Just to count a nigga cash, you might need a calculus teacher
Eureka, Einstein on the brink of the theory of relativity
Really no MC equal, feel me?" but its not just that but also the story telling and the way he delivers those lyrics with so much emotion makes me want to work on my art even more to perfection. Another way that J Cole influenced me is by being so humble and show us how to seperate your work life from your privet life, especially in an industry where everything you do can easily be leaked online.
