Everybody just used to call me woo, and he just decided to add that v on there one day and said Vwoo. ever since then that’s been my name. Everybody say I’m a smooth type of dude so the name really just fit.
Louie2Based – I don’t even know to be honest. It’s been my name for the longest rapping wise and I’m always 2 based. Based is being hype all the time and turnt and some people just thought I was too much of that so that’s how 2 based came along.
Exposed Vocals: What do you think about online music sharing? Do you ever give your music away for free? Why?
