Laney Keyz
Oakland is home to a slew of talented artists, from Too Short to Mistah FAB to MC Hammer.
Now there’s a new face on the scene, who goes by the name of Laney Keyz.
The 23-year-old is here to tell his story and his truth, coming from the streets and finding his outlet in music. Being adopted at 11 months old and falling victim to his environment, he spent his adolescence and teenage years in and out of juvenile halls.
He states, “Being from Oakland taught you how to be a certain kind of way. It f##ks you up because it’ll make you feel a certain type of way towards the world, and you can’t be like that with everybody. You can’t always be defensive, that’s how I am right now.”
Inspired by his favorite rapper Meek Mill, Laney has a newfound love, appreciation, and dedication for music. Investing in himself and using all his money to move to Los Angeles to pursue his dreams full-time, he built his own home studio and has been locked in the lab perfecting his craft. Now, he releases his highly-anticipated single titled “Colorful s##t” featuring Lil Yachty.
