Explain who you are for those who don’t know
I’m Witt Black aka wittness. I’m a 21 year old college kid at the University of Alabama and I spit hot fire.
How did you come up with your name?
It actually took a while to come up with my rap name “wittness”. I tried out a bunch of different names involving my real name and this one was the least lame lmao. I also chose wittness because it rhymes with a lot of things so it’s easy to drop my rap name in a verse.
Where are you from?
I’m from a small town in north Alabama called Elkmont, aka BFE. Like you can’t even find this place with a GPS.
What’s it like growing up where you’re from?
I grew up on a farm in the middle of nowhere. So pretty much I had to help my dad and paw paw do a bunch hard labor, like hauling hay and shit.
How did you get into music?
When I was little I listened to country music because my parents liked it, but I thought it was hot garbage. When I was in the 3rd grade I started listening to rap and I fell in love with it. Then I started writing songs when I was in the 5th grade.
What makes you different from other artists?
Well for one, I’m white af, but ironically my last name is Black. I frequently try to add humor to my songs because I’m a pretty funny dude and that’s who I am as a person. I try to rap about things that actually relate to my personality and my life instead of making stories up and trying to act hard. I have a different kind of voice than most other rappers so try to use that to my advantage. Like who tf wants to sound like everyone else? I also try to not swear so much in my raps because I realized that I had a much more expanded vocabulary than these other rappers so instead of cussing I could find better words to use. I also make my own beats and produce everything myself including mixing and mastering.
What are you currently working on?
Right now I’m working on a few things. I got another tape coming that I use other rappers beats like Minnesota by lil Yatchy. Pretty much like a No Ceilings type thing. I got another single coming called “New Balances” which the premise of the song is about New Balances shoes. I’ve been rocking them shits since the 7th grade. Later I want to do an old school type mixtape.
