In an exclusive interview, Blueface opens up about how he came up with his unique stage name and the journey to recording his breakout hit, "Dead Locs." Growing up involved in street life and becoming a young father by age 20, Blueface wasn’t initially focused on music. He explored various nicknames before choosing "Blueface"—a nod to the blue-toned US currency, symbolizing money, and reflecting his distinct identity. His entry into rap was almost accidental. While hanging out with friends in the studio, Blueface was encouraged to try writing lyrics. Despite initial hesitation and lack of intention to become a rapper, he seized the moment to get into the booth.

This hit marked the start of Blueface’s rise in the rap scene, turning a chance studio visit into a thriving music career.
