When did you move back to Atlanta?
I moved to South Cak when I was about 7 years old. Me, my older bro., sister and mom moved in with my step pops,
Rashad. South Cak is different from the A because you had to make your own fun. I didn’t have too many events to go to that weren’t
holiday related, and you couldn’t just go to the mall or out in the city when you were bored. You had to play ball or ride ya bike or
something, definitely wasn’t gonna sit in the house all day. I grew up in a very small town so everyone knew everyone. Almost fell into
the gang lifestyle, and I think I would have if I didn’t move from down there honestly.
How would you describe your music?
The best way to describe my music is that it has no home. I was
influenced by all entertainment as a child, so the thing that touches
home with my music is the lyrics. It’s different when it comes to
the sound and style though. I’m a natural southerner, but I
don’t want anyone to think that way about any of my music.
I don’t like for anyone to expect a certain sound. Just expect
great music from an MC whose mind hasn’t been drowned out
by drugs.
On an old track called “New
What?”, you spoke on a couple
topics, I thought it was interesting that you felt you were
the real New Atlanta, what do
you think “New Atlanta” music
scene is missing?
In all honesty I do think I’m what’s missing
from the Atlanta music scene. I’m not the
only thing missing though. I think of myself
as being a possible spark plug for Atlanta’s
real music. I have a plan to bring it back too,
the scene now isn’t serious enough and I think
that’s a problem. My generations motto should
be, “Why so serious?? TU!!” because that’s all I get
from the music down here, no substance or power
from the ones who are the most influential to my little
brothers generation. Kills me to see and say it.
