Interview with @BedStuyGab



First, I would like to thank you for taking the time do an interview with us?
No problem! Thank you guys for interviewing me!

What are the positives and negatives of being young in the music business?
The positives is you have everyone who was before you mistake's to learn from. The negatives is that everybody in the game plays you as if you know nothing.

What would you like to tell young upcoming musicians?
That you have to work harder than the rest to go farther than the rest.

How did your song “I’m Gucci” ft Sparkdawg & Yung Texxus come about?
Yung Texxus was out in San Antonio when I first met him. My dj, DJ Nappi introduced me to him then we exchanged numbers. Yung Texxus was in town for a couple days so the next day he came to my studio and we went through beats till one clicked. Texxus came up wit the hook and we did our verses right on the spot. The idea then popped in DJ Nappi's head to get Spark Dawg on the track which worked out perfect cause we all was already cool and I had been meaning to work with him. The rest is history.

Who are some of your influences musically & in your personal life?
My family, my true friends and any fans I have. I do this for them. My music is all real. I only speak my life so everything I live is influential to my music.

What artists are you feeling on the underground?
Man it's a whole bunch but to name a few there is an R&B singer named Xavier that I fucks wit that is a beast, Aj Hernz, Greg G, and even though they not really underground but hasn't gotten the recognition they deserve I gotta say Question and Big Krit. I fucks wit Yung Texxus, Spark Dawg, Tum Tum, B Hardy, O.N.E and the list goe on! I mean I love music and I think it's a lot of it here in Texas.

Are there any artists that you aren’t feeling?
Yeah but I'll keep that to myself. My opinion doesn't matter to them anyway so why waste my time. I just don't listen to they're music. Simple as that.

What artists can we catch Gab listening to?
I listen to everything musically but my main dude is Jay-Z. Since day 1. I also listen to Eminem, Jadakiss, Fabolous, Outkast, T.I., Jeezy, UGK, 8 Ball & MJG, Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, Fat Joe, Cassidy, Drake all the way to Jay Electronica!
