Interview by Scott Bejda
How does it feel to be a free man? It’s a blessing. I’m real excited about getting out here, having a second chance to do this music, and putting it down. I’m feeling real good right now—I can’t even explain it.
What was the first thing you did when you got out? When I got out, I got a haircut and went shopping. I had a guest appearance at a club in Atlanta that same day, so I had to get ready for that. It was like I hit the ground running. I started working the very same day, so there has been no rest for me.
Sounds like it’s been a hectic schedule for you. I’ve been on the road from Tuesday to Sunday every week. That’s about five days a week doing shows. It’s crazy right now. They are really feeling me down south, so it’s hard work. I’ve also been in the lab making new stuff for my next album so I can stay sharp and work on my craft. I’m working real hard right now, to the point where I don’t even get that much sleep anymore.
Do you have a title for the new album? I’m thinking about a couple of different things, but mainly I’ve been thinking about calling it Trapathon—like a marathon.
What makes you stick with Trap music when a lot of cats are doing Crunk, or now getting into the whole Snap music trend? Being from Atlanta, I’m a fan of Snap music, but it’s just not me. I like making Trap music for my hood to give the people something they can relate to. The people from my neighborhood aren’t too fond of hearing Snap music. Personally, I like it, but I stay more on that Trap side because that’s what I know.
What is the main difference between the two? Snap gets the club crunk, and it’s cool for getting the females on the dance floor—I’m a fan of that. But personally, I’m going to keep it gutter at all times.
