Gunplay "Move That Dope" (Freestyle Video)

YOUNG BREED INTERVIEW

“That mixtape market is Triple C’s we claiming that and and owning it”

INTRO: Whats been going on with Triple Cs? What mixtapes did you guys do?

YOUNG BREED: We back in the lab. Our album is in stores now “Custom, Car, Cycles”. We are working on the new album. “Custom, Cut, Clarity”. We have “Sticks & Stones” we about to release in a minute. That is the groups whole mixtape that features Gunplay, Torch, and myself. We also have our own mixtapes we are gonna drop. You have Rick Ross about to drop that “Teflon Don” so you know that is definitely about to be a problem.

INTRO: I heard that this one is suppose to be better than the last one.

YOUNG BREED: Yeah its got a movie coming out with it.

INTRO: Are you in the movie as well?

YOUNG BREED: Yeah! The whole Triple C’s in the movie. I want everyone to check that out. I am going to be about 7ft tall. That is the only time you are going to see me that tall.

INTRO: How did you hook up with Triple C?

YOUNG BREED: Well I was a solo artist here in Miami and I was just putting out street singles. They were catching its buzz all throughout Florida, Georgia, and the Carolinas. You know that the whole southern market. Ross noticed me cause I had the streets blazing. The birth of Maybach was 2008-2009 and that is around the time that I got signed to the label. Since then I have been working and grinding. I was in the studio with Gunplay, Torch, and Ross and we were dropping so many hits that they felt that it was time for Triple C to get that new look and that is what we did.

INTRO: What started you to become a rapper?

YOUNG BREED: I always had a love for music. I used to want to be a DJ and scratch the ones and twos every now and then. I have developed a liking for the music so I started writing rhymes and free-styling in high school halls. Everybody in the hood started listening to what mixtapes I put out. I just grew a fan base and kept it pumping from there.

INTRO: The character that you played was it more so like playing yourself?

YOUNG BREED: Yeah! I don’t want to give up to much of the movie but its about stuff that we have been thru. Its one of those classics. It was just some thug shit. I was kinda self portrayed by myself. I wouldn’t mind persuing a career in acting. Yall gonna see whassup.

INTRO: How would you describe yourself as an artist?

YOUNG BREED: I am just a real around the board rapper.

INTRO: What is the feel of the mixtape “Sticks and Stones” that fans can expect?

YOUNG BREED: Its straight hardcore gutta street shit. Its not like other albums. Its just us cutting loose in the studio, rapping, and making music for the streets. We are so much focused on making radio singles. We are giving the streets a lot of freestyling and just hot songs that are bubbling in the clubs. We just gave them the Triple C flow you know what I am saying.

INTRO: As a solo artist did you have any mixtapes that you did?

YOUNG BREED: Yeah we got my “Extortion” series out. I think we up to volume 5 on that. I had “Young Boss, Dollars and Donks”. We have “Project President and Trap Talk” coming soon. That mixtape market is Triple C’s . We we claiming that and and owning it by saturating the mixtape market. That’s for the streets and I feel that is who we need to feed. Those are our consumers, audience, and fans. They love us so I am not going to stop doing it for the mixtape circuit.

INTRO: Is there a particular artist that you would like to work with that you have not worked with yet?

YOUNG BREED: I would like to work with Justin Bieber. On the female side I would like to work with Jazmine Sullivan. She is real talented she does her thing.

INTRO: Do you have any other projects that you are working on?

YOUNG BREED: I have my clothing line called “Uptown Appereal” under StillIncOriginals.com. You can order our sweat shirts and we also have nice shirts for the ladies. You know I am just pumping my brand right now. We rep so hard that they liked the way that we dressed so we decided to give the public an opportunity to get their hands on it. Its going to be in stores soon. We also have a book deal on the table. We are in the process of working on book tour right now.

INTRO: Is the book an autobiography about yourself?

YOUNG BREED: Its almost like a autobiography. Its about one of my homies that just got out of a federal institution. Its based on a true story vibe. The book is called “Diversity” by Andrea Pearson and its at Barnes and Nobles. The sells of the book have been good and we have been on a few tours for that. We are thinking about doing a movie for the book. Its about a young youth growing up and his uncle was a made man and he got murdered so its up to the nephew to continue on with the family business. Its a real good book and I think that my hood and ghetto niggas can relate to it. It will open up their mind so they can see something new.

GUNPLAY INTERVIEW

“That was cool to build the brand but now we trying to make money with it”


GUNPLAY: Grinding hard and letting them know that Gunplay coming. I am about to drop a mixtape with Dj PCutta out of Philly . The mixtape is called Don Logan. Don Logan is my alter ego and my company name as well I am starting to implement that in my music so that people know that I am not only Gunplay but Don Logan as well.

INTRO: So Don Logan is your music label as well?

GUNPLAY: Yeah that’s my label right there. We are in the beginning stages. I grind out Maybach Music and Triple C so I am doing the same for myself.

INTRO: Do you have any artist on your label?

GUNPLAY: Yeah! Gunplay

INTRO: What kind of feel can we expect from the Don Logan mixtape?

GUNPLAY: I get to talk about that street shit. On my mixtape I can really talk that street shit versus an album where you have to cater to a broader audience. I cater to the streets wit the mixtape. The streets know me. They know what I am about. They like to hear what I am talking about when I get on that street shit. That’s really the masses (the streets). When I do the album I tone it down to appeal to the masses. The mixtapes are strictly for the streets, slums, and ghettos.

INTRO: Are you in the movie Teflon Don?

GUNPLAY: No.

INTRO: You didn’t want to be in it?

GUNPLAY: I didn’t know they were shooting a movie.

INTRO: Yeah! Young Breed just told me about it.

GUNPLAY: Its news to me baby.

INTRO: What else are you working on now?

GUNPLAY: We working on the second album now. Color, Cut, Clarity” I am doing three projects right now. I am working on mixtapes but I am also working on my solo album now called “Kill Switch”. On the last album we kept it street. On this album we are really trying to crossover with this one. We are trying to get on the radio. The last album really didn’t hit the radios like that. It just hit peoples CD players. That was cool to build the brand but now we trying to make money with it. I also have “Apples and Onions” magazine and a modeling agency I am trying to start up. The motto of “Apples and Onions” magazine is “you gotta have a waist like a wasp and a ass like a horse”. Hopefully I can spin off with a strip club cause you know Don Logan loves the ladies.

INTRO: The ladies that are reading this and want to be part of the magazine Apples and Onions how would they be able to contact you?

GUNPLAY: I don’t have the web site up yet but you can send your pictures and info to donlogandjs@gmail..com I am about to get things set up now. Once the web site is up you would be able to see the girls that I am already working with.

INTRO: You mentioned earlier that you would like to be able to spin off and do a strip club. What location would be ideal for you to open up your club?

GUNPLAY: I would do it in Atlanta. Down here it is a lot of competition. There is competition in Atlanta also but the way that I want to do it is different. You will be able to get a hair cut in mine.

INTRO: So after a fresh cut they can run over to see the ladies.

GUNPLAY: Yeah you can get ya shape up, you play ya pool, and get ya sports on the plasma. You got pretty girls doing your manicure if you want.

INTRO: Are you doing any shows or features at the moment?

GUNPLAY: We are doing some spot shows here and there in Florida, Texas, and New York. We aree back in the lab working on the second album. I am doing features and people can reach me at donlogandjs@gmail.com or they can hit me on twitter @gunplay. I do want people to know that the features cost.

INTRO: Is there any particular artist that you would like to work with?

GUNPLAY: I would love to work with Sade. I have already worked with a lot of people like Young Jeezy, Bun B, Game, and Gucci however I would really love to work with Sade.

JUNE/JULY 2010

INTRO would love to thank all its readers for its support. Check out our past interview with Triple C's Torch

INTRO: Since I last spoke to you “Yams” was going hard in the streets and in the clubs and in the streets. Whats the next single we can expect to go hard if not harder?

TORCH: There are a couple and I really don’t put the names out right now cause we want everyone to focus on “Teflon” right now. We got that Maybach Music in the streets right now but trust me there is one called “Lay It Down” you ain’t heard it from me but watch for it.
INTRO: Since the last time we talked you were getting ready to drop your first album and now you are working on your sophomore album. Can you tell us what we can expect from this album?

TORCH: Its gonna be a certified classic unlike the last album this is a more polished look for Triple C. Its not going to be so raw and rugged like the last album. We are going to have a few cuts for the ladies on this one as well as a few radio cuts. You are going to get a more grown Triple C on this one.
INTRO: You were very street and rugged on the first one.

TORCH: You still gonna get that gutta appeal but you know you what I mean. At the end of the day the gutta is always gonna love us but we are not trying to go back there so we gotta appeal to the masses.

INTRO: What kind of features are you going to have on the album? TORCH: The features on the album are going to be more calculated. We are going to have a couple of the O.Gs in the game like Jay-Z and all that stuff. The last album was oversaturated with features. We are going to keep the features this time to a minimum. We may have a few singers for the hooks but this album is going to be more Triple C and less features.
INTRO: What singers do you have featured on the album?

TORCH: We got Trey Songz checking in. We got Lloyd checking in and the big homie T-Pain just to name a few. We got a lot of surprises in store. We have a song called “Diamonds and Maybachs part 2” with the homie Ryan Leslie. Look out for that its gonna be a banger.

INTRO: Now are you in the new movie Teflon Don with Rick Ross?


TORCH: Of course I am! You know I also have my own thing going on with “Specialyst Films Beyond Vision” I am in the process of writing a screen play. Its like a biography but I don’t want to call it that. movie that is why it is taking me so long. It really easy to verbally tell someone but it takes more work to write it down. The name of the screen play is called “Tell Myra” its going to be a good movie. I am in the perfect position to make it happen on the production end cause I own a film crew. Usually you go through screen writers but I am doing this myself. We are going to put it down and look for a company to put it out. We already have all of the filming in the bag.

INTRO: Whats going on with Specialyst Ent?
TORCH: Its huge! Its one of the biggest movements in New York. When Ross talk about that muscle he got he is talking about me and my homies. We run New York. The Bronx is officially in the building!We have a mixtape out right now. We are working on another one that will drop after my solo album drops. My solo album will drops after the next Triple C album. I would go on the record and say the name of it but people be biting and shit so I am just going to keep that to myself.
INTRO: When can we expect the albums to drop?
TORCH: You can look out for that in Spring 2011. The Triple C album should be out in December of this year coming up right after the Teflon album. We have a lot of albums coming out this year. We have the mixtapes that are out such as “Sticks and Stones” and my new mixtape “Crash Course”. Young Breed and Gunplay have their mixtapes out right now and Ross just dropped a Timeless collection. We are about to drop more mixtapes, more albums which means more money.

INTRO: For the ladies that want to get with the modeling “Means and Models” how would they get in contact with you.
TORCH: You can send them pics to ceotorch3@gmail.com . We are always looking for models. We are not all about the cosmetics stuff. We like genuine girls. You know even if you have a couple of flaws still send a pic. There is

INTRO: Since I last spoke to you “Yams” was going hard in the streets and in the clubs and in the streets. Whats the next single we can expect to go hard if not harder?
TORCH: There are a couple and I really don’t put the names out right now cause we want everyone to focus on “Teflon” right now. We got that Maybach Music in the streets right now but trust me there is one called “Lay It Down” you ain’t heard it from me but watch for it.

INTRO: How long have you been working on the screen play and are you working with anyone to produce the movie once its done?

TORCH: I have been working on it for two months right now. This is my first time trying to write a movie that is why it is taking me so long. It really easy to verbally tell someone but it takes more work to write it down. The name of the screen play is called “Tell Myra” its going to be a good movie. I am in the perfect position to make it happen on the production end cause I own a film crew. Usually you go through screen writers but I am doing this myself. We are going to put it down and look for a company to put it out. We already have all of the filming in the bag.

INTRO: What made you want to start a production company. Torch: I wanted to eliminate the general. You know I see how you stay prevalent in the game is to maintain the internet presence, being able to do your own videos, and own your own business rather than blowing your money on trivial stuff like most artists. I invested in myself with the films and the studios.

INTRO: Now as far as the models that you have working with you what videos did you have them cast for? Were they just for Rick Ross/Triple C videos?
TORCH: Yeah just that to name a few. They have also been featured in a couple Khaled videos and most of the videos shot in Miami. We just keeping it low key right now, A lot of people don’t even know that we are a team but Amazing Models is definitely going to be the next thing up.

INTRO: Is that going to include model Amazin Amie?
TORCH: Hey!! How do you know about that? Shout out to Amazin Amie she doing big things. That is my partner right there.

INTRO: How do you feel that the fans have accepted you as far as the Ross and 50 Cent beef?

TORCH: At the end of the day beef is when there is blood on the floor and someone is dying. That is the element that I love. It is like wrestling to me so I don’t even consider it beef. As far as the fans, after Ross did what he did they showed us even more love because it takes a strong team to accomplish what he did. Ross is still here and relevant in the game as one of the best and that is enough in itself.
