On this episode of the 85 South Show, the crew reports live at the 2024 BET Awards. Hosts Karlous Miller & Navv Greene chat with Detroit artist Lana La Donna. She talks about her latest track “Draft Season,” where she explains the concept of “drafting” her “starting five” – a group of men she finds appealing, though she humorously notes that none of them can be fully relied upon. The conversation transitions into her music career, where Lana shares how she got into the game after being inspired by her passion for entertainment and overcoming challenges, like being fired from a job. She also recalls her “full circle moment” of winning a showcase and opening for Jeezy at Michigan State’s homecoming.
Lana discusses her desire to collaborate with other Detroit artists, including Peay Ray, VZO, and Rio, and her dream collaboration with top female rappers like Megan Thee Stallion, Glowrilla, and Cash Doll. She envisions an epic “girl party” remix with heavy-hitters like Rihanna and Sexy Red. The conversation wraps up with Lana encouraging listeners to check out her music, as she can be found on all platforms under the name Lana Ladana.
