4.Tell readers a little about your hometown?
I'm from a small city called Athens Alabama. I love my city. Most rappers around here walk around with clicks. the good thing about my city i got the whole city behind me...
5.With you being in a group so long how is it recording as a solo artist now?
If was rough at first. Didn't really know what i wanted to do. Had a vision but didn't know where to start. Now that the ball is running its going great. I lost the connects with the fans and plugs. But here recently i noticed they been hitting me up. I love it. It made me stronger as an artist and a business man.
6.With your group (G Side) doing so much has it been hard to transition?
Yeah the transition was hard. Like i said my shows slowed down and i had to go back to the trap and work. And major festivals stopped but I'm a strong believer in god. I know I will bounce back. lol
7.You have a unique style being from Alabama,tell readers some of your influences from fashion to rappers you looked up to growing up?
When I grew up I was influenced by 8 Ball & MJG,Outkast. Geto Boys and I always had a passion for fashion.. I won best dress in high school. I grew up in poverty and I always said when I got on I would I always dress to impress.
8.So you have your own label,tell us who are the artist and what's in store for 2013?
My artist are. Lucci and KId KId Kid as a group they are called Kre8tive Soul.... another artist is Ellion.. Ph...and Fly... I also got 2 models that's killing the game rite now. Terry Woods and Jordan Michael...MAN OUR BUZZ IS GOING CRAZY.. We really ain't in a rush we more focused on branding the label on a movement that other rappers ain't doing. to focus on diff consumers.
9.How do you feel about the current state of Alabama hip hop/rap?
I think Alabama is the next to blow, if we learn to show unity far as DJ's.rappers.models. promoters and etc. I have traveled all over the world and Ialways get asked about Alabama music.
10.We see you heavy into fashion...Tell readers about the line?
Purple Tyrant was started by my home boy Hakeem Davis. We started this movement June 2010 . i think a person that understand fashion has the most craziest ideas...I made models the face of Lambo Music cause i wanted to push my label as a production company one day... lately i been designing pants . shirts and coats.. just to keep a buzz on my name.
11.Whats are your goals for 2013?
My plan is Just to get everyone on my label a hot buzz going in to 2014..if i can brand everybody names with a good reputation behind it I'm satisfied. I know next year I can ask for a label deal.. the main objective is to promote in diff location where other rappers ain't. to find new fan base. if every rapper in the game is going rite my label will go left. it just may be the harder route but we will stand out the most. for ex. I did a big fashion show to promote my album. It worked i gave my consumers a good vision of what the album consist of. Now i got female and business people on my movement
