Devon of DROPS Media partnered with Respect My Region for an exclusive interview with Luka Brazi and Alexis Major of the GUMBO cannabis brand and rapper Moneybagg Yo. The interview took place inside the Cookies Bus outside of the Cookies Maywood location in Los Angeles, CA during the Madison Square Gumbo drop. The group talks about the changing tide of the legal cannabis industry, partnerships, Jay-Z’s foundation, Cookies, and more.
GUMBO’s Success
Moneybagg Yo says GUMBO cannabis is top of the line. They are a leading cannabis lifestyle and apparel brand built at the intersection of counterculture, community, and wellness. The company produced successful collab strains like Madison Square Gumbo, Jambalaya, and Ghoulies; helping manage the growers and brand behind it and furthering the legacy. Now, they are working with Moneybagg Yo to create his own rolling papers and “Shot Off” strain.
Moneybagg Yo & GUMBO Cannabis Collaboration
Luka Brazi and Moneybagg Yo seemed to have telepathy when creating the Shot Off strain because Moneybagg Yo said Luka knew exactly what he wanted.
“We’re like doctors because what we did was saw what [Money]bagg needed and we prescribed it for him, so now he’s in full control of his Destiny.”
Luka Brazi, GUMBO founder
The founders wanted to work with Moneybagg Yo not only because of his influence but also because he’s a real smoker and really is a part of the culture. The Memphis rapper knew he wanted to work with Gumbo founders when he sat down with them at dinner. He got a great vibe from them while smoking their strains and understood that they have the same vision and ambition: to uplift their community and help their people.
More About GUMBO
Available on their site are disposable THC vapes created in collaboration with several big names in weed and hip-hop culture. For instance, N.O.R.E from Drink Champs has his own line of Gumbo vapes in different flavors and strain types. Also, GUMBO has original apparel coming out on their site soon. They work hard on their designs and dislike when people ‘dub’ other black designers, essentially taking from their designs and slapping on a brand name.
