Explain who you are for those who don’t know

It’s Sonny Guap, Guap Guap , Guap 2 times, Guap 4 times and all that. Real Kind official kind dude, ya know..

How did you come up with your name?

Originally my name was Sonny K. “K” stood for that money lol “Sonny” came into play some time in middle school n stuck ever since. Now it’s Sonny Guapo . “Guap” which still stand for money. That’s all I talk about, that’s all I really wanna hear these days . Motivation music to get up go get it, for me and anyone else who got they ears open to me.

Where are you from?

I’m from Maryland . “I’m a PG county n*gga, catch me coolin round the way” lol Up and down 301, but Hollaway where ya find me mostly. I’m at where I’m at, everything goes on. Always official kind sh*t on my end though

Whats it like growing up where your from?

Where I’m from it’s low key but anything can go on at any point and time . Upper Marlboro usually gets over looked on everything because of the fact that houses are a lil bigger so people assume ain’t shit goin on. But it’s still all the same shit going on . Still shootings, still Snakes in the grass , still geeking police, Still hot niggas, still real niggas and all that type shit. I stick wit my kind , my kind only. Anything other than this “Dolo Money” I wear across my chest faithfully is usually irrelevant.

How did you get into music?

I always loved music. From a kid where I didn’t even know how to write, but I would still think I was doing something lol. Actually spelling out sounds I’m hearing in my head like “dee-doo bee-doo” lol I eventually got good at writing, because out of all my classes no matter how old I was always advance in english. Then one day I just said “F*ck It”, I listen to all these cranking songs on the regular from other people, why not be listening to some crank and it’s me I’m listening to. I write music every day because you go through different stuff everyday. I like to keep everything fresh, never forced. Gotta live to tell a story. Nowadays it’s too the point where I got enough music to last me, so I usually only listen to me .

What makes you different than other artists?

I’m Guap 4 times. To understand that you gotta understand me . I put my life in the music, they either gonna like it or there not. And that’s the mentality I keep. I don’t really worry about any other artist so I feel everything I do is gonna be different. I don’t follow the crowd, never been that type a guy. They go left I go right. I keep my core team and we smash the gas for this Dolo Money brand. Just us, no rap buddies or anything else like that

What are you currently working on?

Benihunna The Mixtape is dropping soon. The collaboration tape “2 Man” with my brother Kwa following right after. I’m halfway through 2 other solo mixtapes as well. A lot of movies on the way, and even more “Real Kind shit”

Anything you would like to say?

It’s Dolo Money Gang , Get Rich Season my n*gga Guap 2 times or 4 times don’t make me a difference . I love everyone who’s been rocking with me and all the future people to get hip. I’m keep running it up for y’all till I get a bag “and I ain’t talkin bout’ shoppin” Guap Guap Guap Guap.

We love linking with new talent. Today we bring you a dope new artist named TShannell. Learn more below 

Explain who you are for those who don’t know

My name is TShannell and I am a composer and writer. I am an advocate and investigator of the truth.

How did you come up with your name?

My first name is “Tatianna” and my middle name is “Shannell” . It’s actually my name and it has a nice ring to it as well as looks good to me on paper.

Where are you from?

I was born in Camden but i was raised in Columbia, the met , the 803 .

Whats it like growing up where your from?

I come from a city where small minds are always bored. Everybody wants a way out but nobody wants to pave that way . They want handouts or want or want to leech off your success . If everybody associated their success with one anothers success we would all collectively progress. SC is really a boiling pot right now. Atlanta is the prime example of a city putting their self on so I’m a firm believer SC can as well. Its the south so it be hot down here.

How did you get into music?

Growing up I always listened to music . I was always around it , every where I went I was hearing it . I felt disconnected from my environment as a child not always being familiar with every song so I’d always go look it up later and continue to listen, return and be just as knowledgeable as all the old heads. Music moves me in a way nothing in my life does. Nothing can tap into my emotions so deeply and quickly. The only thing more powerful than speech is music. I’m an introvert so music gives me an opportunity to take abstract ideas and organize my thoughts.

What makes you different than other artists?

Artists do not inspire me. I dont sound like Lauryn because she doesnt inspire me. I dont sound like MC Lyte because she doesnt inspire me. Although I do listen to these women, everything I experience and observe is the sole resource and influence of everything I write. Although it may be relatable, my bars are still 100% an extension of myself.

What are you currently working on?

My next tape . #METAMORPHOSIS I also have some videos I am putting together for my music as well.

Anything you would like to say?

You came from your mother so basically you are your mother and your mother is you. On the grand scheme of things, when i say Iove myself I’m really saying I love you too reflection but insecure ass niggas either hating or scared to show love . If you scared to show me love I don’t want it . I wantsupport from those that when I say “I love myself reflection” the only response is “I love myself reflection” .

Explain who you are for those who don’t know

Im Texaco J. A rapper from Houston Currently in LA. I make music for a living.

How did you come up with your name?

My homeboy gave me the name while we were having a conversation about mumble rappers over the phone. I decided to keep it because i felt like it would catch the attention of a specific fanbase who are cool to hang around.

Where are you from?

Northside of Houston, TX

Whats it like growing up where your from?

Its mad diverse. I was lucky. I grew up where its safe. Now its more people hustling in the streets. Im focused on my current success so i can get my parents outta there & into a new pad in The Woodlands.

How did you get into music?

When i was in 7th grade i got tight witt a homie named Chris, who was the best spitter in the middle school. & we was homies, right. So, one day he showed me his studio set up he had in his bedroom and we started rappin in there every day after school. And since then i been craftin my skill to what it is today.

What makes you different than other artists?

What makes me different is the fact that im 100% honest and true to who I am and you care hear that originality in the music.

What are you currently working on?

Im working on a first official mixtape with the help of my cousin Ray Parker Jr. He’s helping me record at the studio in Calabasas.

Explain who you are for those who don’t know?

For those out there that haven’t heard of my name yet, it’s OB. Like O-B, simplistic right? When I moved to Orlando, a lot of people I came across had a hard time saying Rohan, and they started calling me Ro. I like Ro too, but I decided that I can make it biblical in a sense. So I said, I’ll make my stage name OB in short for Obadiah.

Where did you grow up?

I come from the Garden State, and more specifically “The Queen City” Plainfield, NJ. As I stated earlier, I moved to Orlando to further my college education at UCF. Growing up in Plainfield was type rough. Yeah I wasn’t roaming the hood but I was always a different person. My frequency was so different so it was hard to have people stick. I was a pretty decent athlete back in high school and it paved the way for other successes. Kid with good grades but still made teachers nervous. Had to deal with fights, gun violence, niggas getting stabbed, and slapped to sleep, metal detectors at the entrance of my high school. I just thank god, I played life well so far and can live to see another day.

How did you get into music?

I’ve been interested in rapping since freshman year in high school, I used to be in a rap group and my boy was named G money, I can’t even remember what I called myself shit wasn’t serious back then. As I went through school I put it on the back burner because of sports. But college sparked my interest all the way back up.

What makes you different from other artists?

I’m completely different from any other artist based off of my story alone. Growing up with no cable and ramen noodles seemed typical, but it’s the story behind it all, the trials and tribulations that made me go to music as a scapegoat. Then I started thinking, it was time for me to start doing what these other guys were out here doing, and start making a profit so my Ma could get out the hood.

What are you working on?

I’m currently working on an Introductory EP, about 8 songs. Im working night in and night out to produce the beats myself. It’s gonna be called “Garden State Kid.” It’s really about the come up for me in this music game and how I progressed from a one dimensional optimist, to a more versatile visionary artist.

Anything else you would like to say?

Shout out to god first and foremost, and my fam up in the Garden still pushin, we gon be straight one day, my niggas down here doing this shit with me. Doja Paxx, and Fiji Voss, without these two, my motivation would be harder to keep up, we push each other in the studio and classroom everyday, and being a student-artist, we make it look easy sometimes. Be on the lookout for they come up too. Paxx releasing “WYD” on iTunes Monday July 10th, it slides.
