A exclusive with Bo Deal. "I keep it real for my people"

Dec. 6, 2010 - PRLog -- Shaya: Bo tell us… when did it all begin for you as a rapper?

Bo Deal: I started putting effort in 2004 to be exact.

Shaya: Where were you born?

Bo Deal: Chi Town all day! I reps my people because my people rep me. Don’t get me wrong, I am known coast to coast and if I’m with you I’m with you real talk.

Shaya: Does your hood influence your music?

Bo Deal: That’s who I do it for, it’s all hood influenced. You see so much negative that you want to change so I just write about it.

Shaya: Who are some of the artist that you would like to work with?

Bo Deal: Lil Wayne most def, I ain’t into the wipe me downs, I like artist that has substance to them not just party music but ummm I say Jay Z and Drake to name a few.

Shaya: In the beginning what was your rap game about?

Bo Deal: It was about wasting time to get through the day. I was locked up but I made the most out of making my time go faster but once I started even the prison guards was feeling my music so I kept it going.

Shaya: What do you look for in a record deal?

Bo Deal: well to keep it 100, I had offers already but none of those deals were structured properly but right now it’s about feeding family. I am not looking to jump on a deal. I’d rather be broke without a deal than broke with one real talk.

Shaya: Do you have any suggestions for new artist?

Bo Deal: The #1 thing is to have your business in order and you gotta have great lawyers. Don’t look for a quick come up. If you not going to grind, this game is not for you. You have to work for this. If you don’t work you don’t eat.

Shaya: What was your childhood like?

Bo Deal: I was the man of the house at a early age my dad was not around so I hustled hard to help my mom and it made me make it easier for my mom. My mom stayed straight.

Shaya: After going through being the head of household at an early age did that stop you from wanting to be a father?

Bo Deal: I am a father, I enjoy being a parent. I will never be a dead beat dad! I’m true to this.

Shaya: How has it been for you with Mizay Entertainment?

Bo Deal: Mizay got that fire! Deb and the Mizay team gets all my love! We have so much coming up together it's bananas!
