Gully TK: Honestly, we don’t
have time to worry about that.
Besides, why would I want to
start trouble with someone
who basically paved the way
for what I am doing right now?
Organik and Smack are cool. We
really don’t have any beef with
anyone. We’re busy just trying
to put together these events and
continue growing. So we are all
cool and there are no problems
between us.
Novie Blendz: The fact that you
all are cool is dope. I just think
some people are just negative.
I would love to see you guys
at KOTD and the team at the
URL work together and create a
monster card and have one huge
event. How dope would that be?
After all, teamwork makes the
dream work. It’s all about unity.
Gully TK: It would be dope
and crazy if KOTD and URL
combined; that would be like a
mega-event. But who knows?
Novie Blendz: Moving forward,
what is next for GZ?
Gully TK: Our next event is
going to be in Sauga! I’m excited.
Then we are going to have the
title contention with DDSS.
Then we’re going to be traveling
around with it; have a couple of
events. Lastly we will be getting
ready for the next Grand Prix,
which will probably take place
sometime next winter. As of
now, we are just continuing with
building up the talent for World
Domination 5, in August.

Novie Blendz: Any advice for
up-and-coming talent trying to get
on GZ?
Gully TK: Yeah. I wouldn’t try
to put too much pressure on
them, but I’d let them know not
to be nervous; put on a good
show. It’s their time to shine and
prove why they deserve to be
in this league. Remain humble,
confident and come in with
your best material — and smash
through whoever’s given to you.
Novie Blendz: Out of curiosity,
what’s good with your slogan and
where did the name “Gully TK”
come from?
Gully TK: The slogan just
happened because I literally
couldn’t think of anything to
end off with when I was hosting;
so I kind of just said, “Yah dig?”
Then it stuck. I’m just one of
those people who comes up with
words for the week and then
the guys start saying it. Like,
“Squad”. I started saying it,
then it turned into this whole
tour thing and now everybody’s
saying it. It’s awesome though.
With my name, I had that when
I was mad young. I was like
15. It was “Gully Tha Kid”. It
wasn’t on some ‘gangsta’ type
of thing. I was just a real. I was
into skateboarding, but I hung
out with the ‘gangsta type of
people”. So they started calling
me Gully. Then when I started
rapping, I added “Tha Kid” to
it. Then people started thinking
I tried to steal Gillie Da Kid’s
name; so then I chopped it
down, and it became “Gully
TK”.
Novie Blendz: Do you have any
shoutouts or acknowledgements
before we close out?
Gully TK: You, for this
interview; which is great and I
appreciate it. Shout to all the
fam: Organik, Bishop, Avi and
everyone in KOTD. All of the
fans that rock with us, I love
y’all. And shout to 100 Bars
Magazine.
