New Orleans is a city rich in talent. Such is the case of 5th
Ward Weebie. Weebie’s been putting in work for a while in
the N.O., and now is shining bright. I got a chance to sit down
with this rising star.
DG : What’s up Weebie ?
Weebie : What’s up, what’s
happening ? What’s shakin’ with u mane ?
DG : I’m chillin’. You’ve
been puttin’ it down for a while, with hit after hit. Tell
us some of the projects people know u from.
Weebie : I’ve been doin my thang
since ‘98. Shit like, “Take It To The Hole,”
and “Ghetto Platinum,” is some of my work that’s
out now. Yall know the “Shake It Like A Dog,” “Ohh
Wee,” “Rock It,” “They Really Want U,”
and etc. I’m just doin’ Weebie, mane.
DG : With all the success of your music
in New Orleans and surrounding areas, how do u respond to being
called the new bounce king ?
Weebie : I don’t get to hype off
that, u know ? I’m just being me. I’m maturing at
the highest level right now. I’m versatile with my skills.
I’m like a roller coaster - up and down the board. I got
what u want. It’s cool. I do my thang when I can.
DG : You’ve been on a road to the
top. Going from label to label. How has it been, getting adjusted
to each set ?
Weebie : I’m like an allstar player,
ya know ? I’m like a major league player. Ya know what I’m
sayin’ ? If the next team wants me cause I’m the MVP
over here, then I’ma roll with them if they paper right.
I don’t get adjusted. I just roll with the punches, however
they come.
DG : You’re with The New No Limit
Records, now. How’s it been, and what roll does Weebie play?
Weebie : I’m workin’ with New
No Limit. We been layin’ it down for a minute. We’re
coming with it. So yall will be hearing more from that New No
Limit & 5th Ward Weebie issue.
DG : Word on the street is..... you’re
starting a new label. Can u speak on that ?
Weebie : Yeah, it’s called Fatt Boy
Entertainment. And we gonna blaze! I got P-Town Moe, MT, Sess
- 45, Steel, and a r&b group called, Christal, on the label.
We’re going to be the first local independent label to come
with rap and hip-hop in the same circle. We like the Lakers. We
can’t be touched.
DG : After the success of “Ohh Wee”
and “Rock It,” what do u have in store for us ?
Weebie : On this album, I’ma take
it there. I’m letting everything out the bag.
You’re going to party like never before. You’re going
to hear bounce, hip - hop,
the real, and that gutta gutta shit for peeps. Ya feel me ? I
got the whole 9 on this one here. The cd is like, u can’t
skip a song.
DG : When can we expect an album ?
Weebie : Yeah, the new album, “Da
Unexpected,” is out now. I got 18 hot ones on there. My
dog B.G., Ms. Tee, Kango (from P-N-C), and Sess - doin’
it big with me.
DG : Any final words for the people ?
Weebie : Yall keep buyin’ my albums
and showin’ me love. I love my fans. Yall be cool cousin.
