We had the good fortune of connecting with Helecia ( Rapper SKG ) Choyce and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Helecia ( Rapper SKG ), as a parent, what have you done for you children that you feel has had the most significant impact?
As a parent the most important thing I’ve done in regards to the impact of my children is making sure no matter what I give them unconditional. But also teaching them that life has both good and bad consequences so to choose your actions wisley. I don’t want to be a parent that enable my children. I want to encourage them but also be able to correct them when making decisions that aren’t good..
Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
The love for music developed from my big brother, Trayveon Choyce. He introduced me to music at a very young age; when I was maybe between 5, 6 years old. He taught me the importance of connecting to music from our environment of where we grew up at. I learned it was ok to tell stories and so i became a story teller Growing up, Tray would play music relating to what we were going through at that time within our household; anything from oldies to Hip Hop. Music is really a connector both internally and spiritually. I basically grew up within the music industry learning both in front of and behind the scenes of entertainment.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
There is really so much to do in LA. Its really one of the best places with the greatest weather. Especially our beach scene.
If I had friends visiting I would start off our morning at the Culver city stairs to get a little work out going, everyone love the stairs at culver city, Then I would probably get a light breakfast at the Griddle Cafe on Sunset. I would def hit up Wi Spa in Koreatown. They Have one of the best body scrubs ever. Then we would grab lunch at Stevie’s on the Strip off Pico Blvd they have the best chop chicken with rice and green onions. . After lunch we would hit Santa Monica Pier and spend the rest of the evening there.
