There are very few groups that can come out the box and make
an instant impact
in the music industry. New Orleans is the home to one of those
groups doing just that.
We journey to the Big Easy to find out more about these newcomers,
HomeGrown.
DG : So what’s the business, HomeGrown ?
HG : U know, we chillin’ as usual.
DG : Now tell our readers just who HomeGrown is.
Dogg : The group consists of G. Shelton, Foe Da Rolla, &
Dogg a.k.a. Mr. Yes Sir. We’re from Mansfield, Louisiana.
Straight country and off the chain. HomeGrown is a mixture of
lifestyles we carry. We mix rap, r&b, country, and everything
in between. It’s a new blend of Southern music.
DG : How long have u all been together ?
Foe : We’ve probably been together for 18 months. We an
up an coming multi - talented group.
G Shelton : It was God sent that we hooked up, because everything
is going too good for us now.
Foe : We have been doing our thing on the personal tip, for a
while. G. Shelton and I was doing gospel back in the day. Dogg
and I was doing it with other groups. So we decided to get together
and put this new gumbo funk out for the world to hear. Ya dig
?
DG : Now, with all the artists in New Orleans, how does HomeGrown
fit in ?
Foe : We fit in like no other, because we in our own class. We
don’t just bring one style of music. U can listen to our
music and feel the soul of each song. We’re not tryin’
to be Cash Money or No Limit. We just doin’ HomeGrown.
Dogg : However u want it, we can deliver it. From the streets,
to the club, to the cars ..... We got something for you.
DG : When can we expect a new album
from u ?
Foe : Well, the new album is called “Country 4 Life,”
and it’s in stores now. We got 21 bangers. From front to
back, it’s a well - rounded album.
DG : Who are u workin’ with on the album ?
Foe : We didn’t bring a lot of features because we want
the world to hear HomeGrown. The group has so much talent and
style, we didn’t need a lot of features. Our label mates,
Zion and Ruthless, are on the album. Lady Lace is on it. That’s
it. We got the rest.
DG : Your sound is very different. What gives u your unique sound
?
Foe : We bring our own style to the table. U can look at the
album cover and see what we got.
Dogg brings that crunk country sound. G. Shelton is that smooth
laid back playa. I bring the street aspect to the group. That’s
what makes our sound unique. Three minds are better than one.
Dub G : A lot of cats come out and hit, but don’t go anywhere.
Any plans to hit the
road ?
Dogg : We know what we have to do, and we get out there. We got
our city ad surrounding areas jumping. Next stop is the world.
G. Shelton : We got people in Oakland, Florida, and Texas putting
in work with us. So when we hit these areas to promote, it’s
going down with no flaws.
DG : So what else do u have coming up ?
Foe : We’re gonna hit everybody with a different side of
HomeGrown, soon. We’re workin’ on an r&b album.
We gone be the first group to drop a hip -hop album, then come
back with an r&b joint. We’re uping the talent scale
in the game. We’re working on the video for the first single,
“Parking Lot Pimpin.” So things going good.
DG : Anything else u wanna tell your fans ?
Foe : We want to thank everyone who already copped the album.
