Dallas: Mista’ Long brings an insightful, poetic, and passionate perspective to street-life in his music. You'll experience his dramas from a Dirty Dallas point of view, a story untold until now. Sharing with you his stories of the pimps, dealers, and hustla's, Long pulls you into street-life as it is, and as it was for him. You'll walk in his shoes and gain an understanding of his visionary lyric’s as he narrates the streets of Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW).
“These are my stories, my confessions, my passions my demons. I want people to respect me as a man and a MC. My topics are harsh but real. This was the last call for me so I didn’t hold anything back, ya’ dig? The true measure of a hustler ain’t about the struggles he overcame. It’s about how he overcame the struggles.” Mista’ Long.
Mista’ Long where you from and what city you represent? “I represent Dallas, Texas, North Dallas to be exact. The North-Side, a neighborhood called Hamilton Park. I represent 2-1-4 to the fullest, long before 9-7-2 was even a zip code round here.”
Do you think Dallas has a fair shot at the ‘King of the South’ crown? Oh yeah, I think Dallas has a fair shot. The South is hot. We always have been hot since U.G.K. since RapA-Lot started and Suave House. So Dallas has a fair shot because we’ve had guys like Kotton Mouth and 6-Duece. We’ve always had hot artists in Dallas. It’s just the matter of grindin’ and doin’ what’s necessary."
What should people expect from the Dallas (DFW) underground music scene? “People should expect a whole new sound. We hit-em’ over the head a few years ago with Pookie and Lucci and that defined the Dallas sound at that time. It wasn’t chopped and screwed, it wasn’t that H-Town sound. It’s really artist who are lyrical. Dallas has always been about lyrics, style and flash. Dallas music will change what ATL is doing with the Crunk music and it’s gonna’ change what Houston is doing with Screw and carrying on the bling. I think Dallas is going to bring it back to the essence because we’re so diverse here that we have all of that in our music. We’re trendsetters down here man, even though our local radio stations don’t show it. Style is what you can expect from us as a city."
Streets Is Watching what’s your next move? “Get in the studio and bang out as many songs as I can. Jump on as many mix-tapes as I can. Politic with as many people as I can. Continue to get my name and my music out there. Get a deal and shine on the world. Mista’ Long for President.”
