Featured artist: Mexico - E.ST.Louis unsigned rapper TakeOver_Mexico
Thank's for your time! Let's start with the interview: What's your artist name?
Mexico
How did you decide to become an artist?
Mexico: The truth behind Mexico becoming a rap artist was my cousin/producer/beat maker Batts Balboa. I just was the D-Boy that brought the good smoke to the studio and I would come to his studio when somebody needed some kush. I would free style to beats when I would come over and my cousin called me one day and was like I need to to rapp on my beats these cats I got rapper don’t have it. I had other homeboys tryna rapp but wasn’t being serious about it so I took it upon myself to try to motivate them that it’s possible for someone out of out city to make it big rapping so here I am a year later still going strong with my rapp career.
What was the best advice given to you as an artist?
Never think for a second you can’t be like T.I or Jeezy and other rappers that have made a impact on the rapp game coming from nothing to something’s takes time and a grind.
What about concerts? Do you play live?
Mexico: I have did opening acts for several made artist such as Zed Zilla Young Dro YoungDolph young Jeezy and a host of other shows out of state and local in my city of ESTLOUIS.
What are you currently working on? Did you release something in the past?
Mexico:I have five mixtapes on datpiff.com currently I just dropped my #TakeOver3 mixtape 3 days ago and it’s doing numbers I have yet to use a DJ but my next mixtape #EastSideTrapTalk I will be using a big DJ like DJ Smallz or DJ Frankwhite or DJ Scream or DJ Tabz 314
Last but not least: Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Mexico: I would mind signing with a label like Grand Hustle or RocNation DefJam CTE or CMG but that’s my goal get a big enough fan base to get signed.
