Welcome back everyone, have you been enjoying the interviews with LaSuria Kandi Allman and her guest in The Hot Seat? Today she interviews Hip Hop artist LT Nast. Here's your chance to get to know a bit about him and then listen to the interview.
Jason Barney aka, LT Nast was born and raised in Mineral, Va. He is a self proclaimed superstar in his own rite! Growing up in the confines of a church in a small city called, Louisa, County, LT Nast still gained the knowledge and passion of music pushing his way in understanding the Hip Hop game. While LT Nast attended Louisa County High School, he was known as "one hell of a rapper" and was known by so many in his city and was always known to win all of the different music activities concerning competitions distinguishing him from so many independent rappers out there. After he graduated in 2004, he began focusing and pushing himself in the rap artist industry where he began to win surmountable competitions through showcases and/or talent gigs- by doing so, LT Nast began to open the eyes of different entities within the HipHop industry.
In 2014, LT Nast began his professional career with working with GT Management, building his brand by starting his own entertainment business called LTC Commission, getting radio interviews with such major stations as 106.5 The Beat with celebrity radio show host Zxulu.
His greatest accomplishment thus far as an independent recording artist includes his recent distribution deal with Veejay Vega Don, Head A&R of Protect Ya Neck Records and Wu-Tang Management. With this meeting, Veejay Vega Don was taken so much by LT Nast's flavor that he subsequently signed him to a World Wide Distribution Deal with Protect Ya Neck Records/Wu-Tang Management. Now LT Nast is focusing on a recent endeavor of being a one of the headliners for The Konnected Tour with Mr. Kevan Glover, owner of The Konnected Magazine, Konnected Tour, and the Charlotte Queen City Awards. In addition to being on tour, LT Nast was asked to open up directly before the headliners for the North Meets South Edition of the Ultimate Exposure which headlines Young Dirty Bastard of the Wu-Tang Family and Rich Gates of Brick Squad. Currently LT Nast is focusing on his album soon to be available through World Wide Digital Distribution called, "LET ME BE THE LT" which features hit single called "Feelin' Like It's Friday." LT Nast is expected to be the next up and coming in the Hip Hop Industry as he knows he can't give up and that he must keep pursuing his destiny. Look out for an amazing talent coming from a small corner of the state of Virginia called Mineral, VA, proving only one thing...The most amazing talent is just right under your nose...LT Nast, LTC Commission - WE DEFINITELY DON'T DOUBT YOU!!!
