I don’t know about you but sometimes I listen to an artist’s new material and then decide I want to go back to the familiarity of their older work while I acclimate myself to the latest addition. That’s what happened with Read the rest of this entry »

Hehe…I woke up this morning thinking about this tape…to keep my mind off the tax man.

Rich Boy Bigger Than The Mayor Mixtape

Previously Posted — TSS Presents Smoking Sessions With Rich Boy

The need to make a powerful impact to gain recognition upon entering the game is more vital in 2008 than it was 1993. In today’s radio-dominated market, the key to the limelight is…well, a hit single. Last year Rich Boy met his rookie requirements with the smash hit “Throw Some D’s” only to be categorized with some of his peers who are no longer with us. (Anybody seen Shawn Mims?).

On his rock solid, self-titled debut, Maurice Richards took his untapped region of Mobile, Alabama and brought his story to the households of the uninformed and made a lasting impression. Still unconvinced that the world thinks that he’s a fluke, Rich Boy’s set to deliver his latest mixtape Bigger Than The Mayor full of aggressive material that’s sure to make your amp lose it’s grip on reality. Read as he speaks with the Crew’s TC and abolishes all preconceived notions surrounding him.

They may call him Rich Boy, but he thinks like a grown man.

TSS: Rich Boy!

Rich Boy: What’s happenin’ which ya? Hold on gimme two seconds…”Hey baby you leaving me?”

*Two seconds turns to three minutes…*

Rich Boy: Yeah, I’m back!

TSS: What you having some domestic disputes? Female trouble?

Rich Boy: (Laughs) Man, I don’t know what the girl talkin’ bout. She wanted an autograph and everythang. I hope I don’t sound retarded, but I just came back from the dentist and my mouth still numb!

TSS: It’s all good, we gonna make it do what it do regardless.

Rich Boy: Yeah, we gonna make it happen.

TSS: Alright, it’s been like a year since the album dropped, so you’re not a rookie anymore. What’s your outlook on the game like right now?

Rich Boy: I feel real passionate about what I got going on and feel real passionate about what’s coming. I’m just trying to have meaning and definition behind everything I do this time around.

TSS: You talking bout Bigger Than The Mayor? This is gonna be like a “street album” opposed to a general mixtape of you rapping over other people’s beats right?

Rich Boy: Yeah, it represents everything that goes on in the street where I’m from, everyday life, parties, the new things like E pills, this and that. It’s not like I agree with it but it is what it is ya know? When I make an album, it’s going to represent my outlook on how I would like the world to be. But the mixtapes is actually how the world is. I just went in there and did the first thing I felt. I did it for the people who ride in they cars in the hood. That’s who I’m catering to because they’ve been asking me for that for the longest so I did it for them. And my album that’s coming is gonna be deep, something that can help people make it through life.

TSS: You got a name for that album?

Rich Boy: Yeah, it’s called Buried Alive. Yeah, I got that title cause you know I talk to my brother every week through a prison phone. And he be telling me about the boys who got life and all that, and you know I got two cousins who got life from drug convictions. Read the rest of this entry »
