Wallie the Sensei Brings Wisdom to the Roxy: One of our first music interviews of this year was with rising Compton rapper Wallie the Sensei, and for good reason.

The music is only giving you a small feel of how it really is growin’ up here. It’s a much smaller place than what people think it is. From the way of life to the slang, everything is different. I’m a product of where I’m from.” Later in the same feature, he said, “My last project was me expressing where I was at the moment; I just kinda laid everything out how I was feeling. This mixtape mechanically shows how I evolved as an artist. It has me experimenting. My recording process when I dropped my first project took me 2-4 hours per song, but now I can crack out records anywhere between 30 minutes – 1 hour while doing even mo...
