Flau'jae Johnson scales up her rap career

During an interview with the Huffington Post, Johnson discussed the natural progression of her career as a rapper going through growing pains even though she has done it for several years now.

“I’ve been doing music for so long, and I feel I kind of been a little professional at it for a while,” she said. “That’s where my journey is right now. I feel even though I’m just well established as a basketball player and as a brand and I’m getting there as an artist, I just want to make sure I do all the proper channels as a new artist to make sure I have a solid foundation, ’cause I want this to be a real career, not just a moment.

“I’ve loved combining my two talents. 'Best of Both Worlds' shows you don’t have to choose one path — you can excel in multiple arenas."

Flau'jae Johnson will have to find the perfect balance between her budding rap career. which has just gone up another level, and being the leader of the LSU Tigers now that former star Angel Reese has departed for the WNBA.
