I want it to have people respect me as a rapper now. What would you like this album to do for your career?
That brings a different audience to you right there. It was one way to step out the box because I know some people who won’t listen to certain music, but they’ll go check out a movie. That was another idea I had for the plans I wanted to do. I wanted everything to be based on like El Chapo, but in my own way.Ĭan you talk about the short film you released? As far as the music videos too, I wanted it to sound and look like some narcos stuff. I wanted all the beats to sound like some Latin s–t. When I was in the studio with Young Kio, he came with a Spanish type beat, like a real Latin feel, so I recorded the song “Carolina Narco.” Then from that song, I thought to do a whole album called Carolina Narco. It was inspired by how I was feeling at the time. What’s the inspiration behind your latest album Carolina Narco ? At the end of the day, you have to remember what got those people in front of you. When you get into the game, a lot of people give you advice, and some s–t could work and some of it could be bulls–t. Never be scared to step outside the box and always stick to the s–t that you were doing to make people pay attention to you. What’s the best advice DaBaby has given you? I never saw anyone perform like DaBaby, so I learned a lot from that.
BLACC ZACC CRIP HOW TO
We’re putting the recipe out there from how much content we put out there, how to move, how to do videos. I tell artists from the Carolinas: If you don’t sit back and watch Dababy, Stunna or even me, then you’re really not trying to do it. DaBaby is a goat and you have to learn from that s–t. We clown and talk on the phone all the time.
I learned a lot from them, especially DaBaby. It was always me and brother just moving around, but once I got with a team, that’s when everything started picking up and going the right way. I spent so much money and ran into people who said they can do this and that for me, but they couldn’t and I never had a team. Once I started taking rapping seriously, I had to learn it. So it’s like I always had it in my mind that I couldn’t live that lifestyle forever. But you can really make that money by being a rapper. Not everyone can be a Pablo Escobar or El Chapo, so if you’re not them, you’re not making any real money in the trap. With rap, you can make so much money off it that you’ll probably never have to experience being a drug dealer.
BLACC ZACC CRIP FULL
When did you know you had to leave the trap life behind and pursue music full time? North Carolina is doing its thing now too. Atlanta is, like, two or three hours up the street. The city isn’t known for music, so you have to go somewhere that’s known for that. You have to make people want to listen to you so it’s like I don’t ever use anything as an excuse. I used to get frustrated with DJs that wouldn’t spin my music or people who weren’t rocking with my music, but you have to realize, DJs are probably getting thousands of songs a day. I don’t try to have an excuse for anything because I don’t do that at all. With someone that has shown love to the Carolinas as much as you do, does it make you look at your city differently because you have to get popular elsewhere? I just know it came from grinding and being strategic with this s–t. I’m kind of like in that stage now because at first, I felt like everybody was against me, but now, even when I know it’s fake love from somebody, I will still rock with them.
In Columbia, you have to really grind and d–n near get popping somewhere else to where they’ll accept you back home. Where I come from isn’t like Atlanta or anywhere else where you make some music and people are going to embrace it. It’s a good feeling because I’ve been doing this s–t for a while. How do you feel getting this recognition now? You’ve had a long journey to get to this point in your career. I didn’t even know what studio equipment consisted of, but I just knew what was going on in that kitchen. That really influenced me to make music, period. I think I was like, 13, when I made my first song and it was about my mama or something like that. It made me want to get into it and try to make a song. We lived in an apartment and it was right in the kitchen so I couldn’t help but hear the bass and the music that they were putting out.
