"The Law Lucas Story"

Many of you may know me as a relative or
friend in the community of Plaquemine. My hometown where I was born and raised. Others may know me as a local act/ public figure in the social media world. I've been on this journey to success long over a decade now. I wasn't always "Law Lucas" I started out as "Lil Law".  The childhood rapper that was apart of the boy band "JLT3". It's almost as if "Law Lucas" was my alter ego.  "Law" is short for "Lawrick" which is my biological name. "Lucas" is a acronym which stands for "Living undefeated competitive and successful". Those words define me and who I am as a artist. I grew a passion for writing lyrics and recording music at a very young age. With my dad being a DJ just added more fuel to the fire. Music was life to me it's the only thing seemed to interest me. I influenced my younger sibling and closer peers into making music as well. It's like my passion for music rubbed off on everybody I encountered with. I always had a big vision that inspired people. Most of my peers and people in my neighborhood gravitated towards me and befriended me for that particular reason. It's like everybody believed in me and seen my special gift that God had blessed me with. I always knew I was the chosen one and I had no intentions on settling for a regular life. My definition of a regular life was working a 9-5 and paying bills to get by. I always had a vision for traveling the world exploring different ethnics and walks of life while doing what I love. Somehow getting into the music business wasn't as easy as it seemed. By the age 18 living a regular life had became my reality although I wasn't content. I started working in the chemical plants shortly after high school. I used to take my pay checks and invest in studio time and music videos. I had formed my own rap group named "Team BCB". We were semi hot in my hometown. At the time it wasn't really many artist taking music serious from my city. The group didn't last very long due to laziness and procrastination. I always had a strong work ethic and everybody couldn't keep up. I was serious about my craft and I didn't want them to be the reason I missed out on any opportunities. I ventured off around the age 19 and started doing my solo thing. Working in the chemical plant and trying to pursue my music career seemed to be unbalancing a bit. I started to get discouraged and slowly backed away from music. In 2013 I was involved in a chemical explosion at my job which almost cost me my life. I was very fortunate cause many other co workers lost their lives. That scared me but also gave me confirmation that I should get back into making music. I took a break from work and got back in the studio. My former group "Team BCB" and I put out our first official project "Who Dat Is" hosted by "DJ pop dukes". At this time we were making a major comeback. We started touring in our state performing at many local parties and events. Being that I wasn't working I started taking DJ gigs to help my dad out but also put money in my pockets as well. DJing and throwing parties had became my official hustle. I wasn't no beginner I had low key been helping my dad DJ since high school only difference is I was booking DJ gigs on my own and collaborating with local promoters to host my own events. It also worked hand to hand with my music career cause I played  me and my group music. We became very popular. Riding in luxury cars and having all the girls became our lifestyle quickly. All that ended when I made my first child unexpectedly. Life started to fall apart for me. The money I was making wasn't enough to take care a child and eventually start my own family. I ended up getting a job offer 1,000 miles always from the place I've always called home. I wasn't so sure if I should take it or not but I definitely needed the money. After making my mind up I went away and worked that job for almost a year all on my own. Little did I know that time away was definitely needed. I learned to be self sufficient,responsible and financially stable. I also built relationships with some great people that kept me focused and determined. It almost felt as if they were my real family. We helped one another and moved as one. By me being the youngest it made me mature very fast. All that came to a end when I started getting weird vibes and signs that it was time to go back to the place I've always called home. After 8 months of being away I was finally in route back to my hometown when I got a call that one of those great brothers I left behind had lost their life. At that point all I could do is thank God for always covering me in his grace. I knew I had made the right decision to leave cause if not that could've been me easily. This was somebody who I lived with for 8 months. We were all we had being 1,000 miles away from home. For me life went on I was back at home but not the same way I left. I was a man with a different mindset. I came home and started a family. After missing a whole year of my child's life I was back to make up for the time I had missed. His mother and I was finally on good terms and we finally had a place of our own to call home. I got me a job in the chemical plant but it didn't last a week after getting black balled for fighting my lead man. At this point I knew it was over for jobs and I was ready to get back to music. Around this time is when I discovered my newly hustle that grew into a passion. I started selling plates out my apartment to fund my music career. It was working in my favor I was able to travel places like Atlanta, Houston, Austin, Mississippi and more off food money. I would take the money I make from selling plates and get cds made. I would post up in front different stores everywhere I traveled and sell my cds. Little did I knew but I was building a brand that would last forever. 2016 I started my own catering company "Blazing Cajun Kitchen". It quickly became a house hold name in my city. The support we were receiving was unbelievable. My food business was growing faster than my music career. It resulted to me backing up from music and focusing more on my business. Being that I wasn't focusing on my music I started helping assist others with their careers. I worked with "Lit Flame" "Samm Savage" and "Mikobmurking". Fast forward 2 years into 2018 "Samm Savage" past away. It was a big lost for me because we had grew very close although we were childhood friends over 15+ years. It motivated me to get back into music. I dropped my first single "Shine Like This" and got the attention of a few labels. After all these years of being on and off with music I was finally getting the recognition that I had deserved. I partnered with "Palm Tree Entertainment" for management in 2019. Working with "Just Jay" From "The Hype Magazine" had me in press articles all over the internet and even in the local news paper in my hometown. With my food business thriving and music finally paying off I just knew I was on to something. Unfortunately things didn't work out as planned. I dropped a EP titled "Jet skis and palm trees" featuring platinum artist like "Lil Flip" and "Project Pat".  Streaming wise it didn't do as well. I still put in the groundwork that was necessary. After realizing that it was nothing nobody can do for me that I couldn't do for myself. Early 2020 I recored "The Law Lucas Story" and put together my own 10 city tour investing over 20k dollars in expenses. Unexpectedly COVID-19 comes out of nowhere and ruined my release and my tour. I felt like all my hard work and money was gone down the drain. I fell into a deep depression. Took the rest of the year off to quarantine. 2021 the world opened back up so I put together a release event for the community serving free food, drinks, water slides, space walks and free toys for the kids. Although my project had dropped sadly I never got to go on tour. To be continued
