SoundClick artist: Same Ol G - I'm just a laid back, but outspoken type of artist. I'm going to give it to you just like it is. Nev

In these last and evil days of hip hop/ rap, there are a lot of fake, commercial, perpetrating, and hatin ass artists out there. These days we have too many rappers changing with the weather to sell records. What this game needs is a savior, someone to get this industry back to the roots of keeping it all the way real and stop acting when the cameras are on. Just be real 24/7. Always saying what's on his mind and never biting his tongue to spare feelings. That's where I come in, The Same Ol G. As you can see by name I am as real as they come. I'm a product raised by old school OG'S.

Why this name?

i chose my name because as a youngster i was taught everthing i know by my uncle who is from the old school. he told me no matter what changes in life make sure you never change for nobody or nothing. as i got older everytime someone ask me what's up or what's going on, i always responded by saying same ol, same ol. plus, my last name starts with a g, so that's where the same ol g originated from.

Do you play live?

yes, i perform live. i perfomed 3 different times for the source magazine's ear to the streets show in tampa,fl

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?

it gives artits more ways of reaching the world with their music

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?

it depends on the deal they offer

Band History:

i was discovered in 2004 by patrick e. cook in montgomery, al at a christmas party. one of my friends knew that he was a producer and wanted to start his own label. my homeboy told him that i could spit, so he invited me to his studio for a small session. after he saw what i could do he offered me the oppurtunity to be the first artist on his label, ryme tyme records.

Your influences?

I get a lot of my motivation from 2Pac and Jay-Z. Even these two artists had two different styles, they still had some similar features. Both were raised by the streets, they both said what ever was on their minds, they never changed they way they were because what others did or said, and they both have hellified work ethics. I am trying to be a cross between the two. Not the way I flow, but how I carry myself and work hard in the studio. I do this for the love first and the money second.

Favorite spot?

Florida is my favorite spot cause this is where i am from.
