Wooo wuz up world. This is ya boy A.Levy. I'm from neworleans. We got hit by that damn hurricane,so....now im in atl trying to do it big.this is like black hollywood. I'm a versatile rap artist i can do gangsta, commercial, love songs, conscious rap...what ever you wanna hear i can do it.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
im not a band im a solo artist actually. im 22 from neworleans, 9th ward, gentilly to be exact. my rapping started of as poems that sounded like raps. i didnt have any format i didnt know how to write bars or anything. my homie c's sat me down oneday and showed me how to do it and it grew from there.
when i used to work at popeyes and shit i used to remix songs and do like a parody thing. once upon a time i was shy and didnt wanna let anybody know what i did and wrote in my notepad for fear of rejection but those days are gone now. i been rapping seriously since 2001. i did a couple of shows and shit, and the radio stations but really nothing to brag about....not yet. hopefully everything will change in the near future. especially if yall vote for my shit. deep down inside im still that lil shy dude that wants to be excepted and it comes across in my music some songs are real personal and others are more traditional hip-hop, but at the end of the day all my shit hot.."fuck whacha heard im the hottest in the bottom of the map!!!" (taken from i know yall heard of me feat. UNLV)
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
yes i can but at this moment im new to the city and dont know where to play yet. but im working on it. lol

i guess in this box i can write something more personal...so i will.
with me i like to plan...of course ya plans never work..but i still do and maybe oneday everything will go the way i hope.
anyway a description of me..im like the epitemy of a underdog. i have big plans. i cant stop thinking about how its gone feel to sign my first contract and get this money...im not the average cat though im not gone spend my whole check on cars and material garbage that depreciates. imma finish coping real estate. imma break bread wit my people
i aint giving no nigga shit dont get it twisted... i notice the brokest niggas have the biggest dreams and ideas but the cat sitting on 20 mill down know what the fuck to do with it.so all my homies for instance.... one of my dogs he in love with cars and rims and shit he a clown as nigga but thats my dog if i get the chance i'd cop him a rim shop and go 50/50 with him just to see him live the life he been perpatrating. im tryna make the unemployment rate go down. the mayors and politicians aint gone do shit so imma try my best to help my city. thats pre-katrina thats been my mind set. i wish i could be selfish and say fuck everybody but at the end of the day thats not me!! im austin levy (a.levy) a.k.a. austin powers tryna save the world i guess.
maybe i care too much if you think i do fuck u.
