L.V. had this to say about what his unique style "Rap N B" means to him

I AM MOST NOTED FOR MY UNIQUE STYLE OF MUSIC THAT I LIKE TO REFER TO AS “RAP N B”. I DON’T TRY TO FIT IN WITH THE SOUND OF THE NEW WAVE ARTISTS BECAUSE LYRICAL CONTENT IS A BIG DEAL TO ME! I ALWAYS STRIVE TO MAKE SURE THAT MY MUSIC IS AUDIBLE, UNDERSTANDABLE, AND MAKE SURE THAT IT’S AUTHENTIC AND SPEAKS VOLUMES FROM MY HEART AND MIND. IT ALSO HAS THAT SMOOTH RHYTHM LIKE R&B. I TAKE PRIDE IN MAKING MUSIC WITH A GOOD VIBE THAT IS UNDERSTANDABLE FOR PEOPLE DOWN SOUTH. BEING RAISED IN AUSTIN, TEXAS THE MUSIC CAPITAL OF THE WORLD WHERE SO MANY ARTISTS OF MANY GENRES EXIST, I’VE ADAPTED TO MAKING MY MUSIC VERSATILE ENOUGH TO BE PLAYED AND ADORED BY “NON-SOUTHERN” LISTENERS AS WELL.
