‘BRIXSTON BAD BOY’ Interview.
“All eyes on the new guy,” signing into the Untouchable Maybach Empire;
fresh from the streets of London! To be the first to join a very closely
guarded power circle, that is Maybach Music Group, taking the position of the first
European, to ever enter the music group!
From ‘Rags’ to ‘Riches’, the ‘BRIXSTON BAD BOY’ maintains his domination of
the industry, revealing to us as exclusive coverage, his personal experience of
the escalation to fame, but primarily the struggle of maintaining his current
position of power and newfound identity, most importantly how the rap game has
changed his perspectives of life.
Towards the beginning, my family promoted a harsh ‘dog eat dog’ mentality
to living in the unforgiving streets of London, doing what was needed, to
continue our struggle, at times having to make the ‘hard’ decisions. Growing up
I always had good friends who stayed scheming, wanting to live the high life,
that was dealt from dealing a hand with the Rap game. My parents were unable to
provide us with a refuge, away from the world surrounding me, so I adapted to
street life, making it my home away from home. At the age of 14 we joined up
with a larger group, who seemed to offer us the protection we desperately
desired allowing me to proceed with creating small necessary steps to make a
name and a Reputation for myself, such as setting up ‘future lyrics’, aka
dealing and getting involved with small crime, which in turn gave me the
motivation to create my rhymes. Later that year, my mother picked up on the
interest in the genre so agreed to send me out to my first local Rap concert,
to see a friend and well-known rapper, who was typically a Latino grime artist,
who became a symbol for all young rappers in the area.
The concert was a small stepping-stone, which certified our devotion
with the genre, motivating us to produce small rhymes, linking lyrics to our
life and life surrounding the underground. Soon after 16 I hit success, with my
first hit ‘these days’ which expressed the horrors of the Brixton underground
gang-life, which shaped my lifestyle to that point.
By the time I was 18 I had many public promotions, through the radio
and on the smaller TV channels, which began to spread my music to a larger
audience, which set in motion a money making scheme of mine. Releasing albums
in quick concession, just like my personal idol, ‘Rick Ross’ leader of MMG,
would spread knowledge through the word of mouth. Good or bad reviews would
create public interest in my work and help me to select a style of beat and
features which were liked through the reviews.
When I made my first 8 digits, I instantly started planning a album which
could feature Rick Ross, so I could create a memorable achievement in my career,
finally able to prove that ‘I had made it’. The idea was a total success, along
with album, which sold over 2.000.000 copies, which granted acknowledgement of
my talent, alongside a high level of respect within the music group.
When
I was notified about my invitation to the group, it created a surreal feeling
that could only be explained through my lyrics, pushing me to release a
celebratory free mixtape, which seemed to be the best way to express myself.
