Part 1: Lil Keke on Sipping Syrup at 14, Hooking Up w/ People's Moms During Houston's Crack Era
--------
Lil Keke delved into why Houston artists generally avoid the deadly social media beef that is prevalent in cities like Chicago. Lil Keke attributes this disparity to Houston's laid-back, "player" culture, a mindset that prioritizes fashion, cars, and socializing over conflict. He highlighted that although social media can amplify tensions, leading to violence as seen in places like Chicago and Jacksonville, the Houston scene remains relatively peaceful. This is not due to a lack of crime, but rather an inherent cultural focus on lifestyle rather than adversarial interactions. Lil Keke reflected on social media's dual role as both a platform for artists and a battlefield for clashing egos, suggesting that many artists get caught up in online opinions, neglecting the core of their craft.
