Footz_Livewire Talks REEEBY Soda “Foreign Pop” Collab, Oakland Hip-Hop | Miss Me x OTM Magazine
When I sat down with Footz The Beast, one thing was clear — he’s not just another artist trying to make it. He’s building something real.
In this exclusive OTM Magazine interview, Footz, an Oakland native signed to Livewire Records under J. Stalin, opened up about his journey in the music industry, how he’s getting established, and the moves he’s making outside of music to grow his brand.
From the start of our conversation, Footz made it known that everything he’s doing is intentional — from his sound to his visuals to his business decisions. Whether it’s music, branding, or stepping into new opportunities like film, he’s focused on leveling up in every lane.
He also gave me a closer look at his recent REEEBY Soda “Foreign Pop” collaboration, breaking down how it came together and why partnerships like that matter for artists today.
🎵 The Music Scene — Oakland, Livewire Records, and Building a Name
Talking with Footz, I could hear the influence of the Bay Area in everything he said. Oakland has always been about independence, and that energy is still alive in how artists move today.
As a Livewire Records artist, Footz is learning the game directly from J. Stalin, and he spoke on how important that guidance is when it comes to growing as an artist.
The current music landscape: Artists today aren’t boxed into one sound. Footz explained how versatility and consistency are key in standing out.
Artist development: Being part of Livewire isn’t just about dropping music — it’s about understanding the business and building longevity.
Social media and promotion: Footz emphasized how platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube are essential tools for reaching fans and staying visible.
From my perspective, it’s clear he understands that talent alone isn’t enough anymore — it’s about how you move.
🎬 Creative Process — REEEBY Soda, Music, and Film Opportunities
One of the biggest topics we got into was Footz’s REEEBY Soda collaboration, specifically the “Foreign Pop” flavor.
He broke down how the opportunity came together, and what stood out to me was how naturally he spoke about stepping into business. This wasn’t just a random deal — it was something that aligned with his brand.
Footz also talked about:
The different soda flavors and the branding behind REEEBY
Why artists should look into product collaborations
How these moves help build long-term income outside of music
Beyond that, he gave me insight into his involvement in film projects, working alongside J. Stalin and the Livewire team. He’s not just staying in one lane — he’s expanding into acting and on-screen work, which is something more artists are starting to tap into.
The way he explained it, everything connects — music, visuals, branding, and now film.
🌍 Cultural Impact — From Artist to Brand
Sitting with Footz, I could see that he’s part of a bigger shift happening in hip-hop.
Artists today aren’t just focused on music — they’re focused on ownership, branding, and creating opportunities for themselves.
Footz represents:
The independent Bay Area mindset
Turning music into business
Building a brand that goes beyond songs
His REEEBY Soda collaboration is a perfect example of that. It shows how artists can take their influence and turn it into something tangible — something that lives outside of streaming platforms.
And from what I’ve seen, fans are paying attention to that.

He mentioned:

From the way he talked about it, this is just the beginning of a bigger run.
