Chicago traded skyscrapers for beach vibes this past weekend as Dei V kicked off the Mountain Dew x UPROXX Baja Blast Summer Series with a tropical escape in the heart of the city. The Latin trap star kicked things off at Moonlight Studios with a performance that had fans lined up around the block for a night that felt like summer bottled up. The night was fueled by an exclusive Baja Blast x Half Evil collab shirt drop and a full menu of Baja Blast-infused cocktails<\/a>. Straight up, it was a great time \u2014 and if you\u2019re in Los Angeles this August, be sure to catch the next one with headliner De La Rose.<\/p>\n

But before any of that happened, we caught up with Dei V to talk about beach life, his connection to Baja Blast, and the cross-cultural influences that helped shape his sound.<\/p>\n

In the interview, Dei V touched on how growing up on the east side of Puerto Rico gave him a lifelong connection to the ocean that translates to the way he moves on a beat, how a diet of Myke Towers, Mac Miller, and Wiz Khalifa informed his sound, and how psyched he was to be back in front of a crowd again \u2014 all with a cold Baja Blast in hand. Check out the full video above.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
