| Coming out of the battered Gulf Coast
region is a group of young entrepreneurs with an outlook on the
game many haven't seen in years. The trio, known as the Muddy
Sipp Boyz, have their game faces on and are ready to rise from
the rubble of Hurricane Katrina to prominence.
DG - What's going on Muddy Sipp Boyz?
Copesetic - What's the deal!!!DG - Give
us some info about the Muddy Sipp Boyz.
Copesetic - Well the group consists of
four cats from the same hood (Magnolia Grove & Soria City
/
Gulfport, MS) that's been down for a long time. The members are
Hydro, Big Blow, Mistasippi slim and my self (Copesetic) ya know.
Doing what we do and stacking bread.
DG - What do yall have cooking on the
stove?
Copasetic - The "Still Thug Pimpin"
album is about to drop. We got Young Bleed on there and we trying
to get C-Murder to do a feature but that is in the works. My man
O from 9X9 Entertainment did some production on there. He did
tracks on the new Chris Brown album. Shorty Brown from the coast
hit us with some fire. My man Pooh did it up on the album. It's
going to be a classic. Then you got the "Stacks On Deck"
mixtape in the streets now. Big Blow's "Dat Damn Raw"
mixtape is out. We're flooding your block this year!
Big Blow - Mane we got a lot cooking right now. We are getting
ready for our first major tour. Hydro got an album coming out
later this year. The mixtape game is sick right now. We in the
streets now. The "All I Know" DVD is coming, so we just
grinding.
Hydro - We all over doing it big. We done
covered the South from Texas to Georgia and everything in between.
We working on a deal with Koch so the weight is going up fasho.
DG - What's the music scene looking like
down there?
Copesetic - The scene is picking up, ya
know? At first we didn't think it was a market for us but more
cats are getting more business oriented and taking it serious.
We expect big things to go down with the rebuilding from Hurricane
Katrina. It threw us off a lot but the hustle don't stop, baby.
All it did was give us an incentive to go hard. We trying to be
in the ranks with Cash Money, No Limit, & Rap-A-Lot. We got
the support from the coast, now it's just time to give it to the
world.
DG - Speaking about Hurricane Katrina,
how did it affect your day-to-day operations?
Big Blow - We were blessed to not have
our businesses take a large amount of damage. We have
a men and women's clothing store, barber shop, and a studio in
our building. The one-stop shop doesn't stop. People have been
coming in and supporting us and trying to get on with their lives.
We gave out toys from the store on Christmas Eve to all the kids
in the hood to show we care about the situation. The turnout was
great. We survived and we still here, hustling harder than ever.
Copasetic - It shook the game up down
here. A lot of people left and went to Atlanta and Houston and
everywhere else in the USA. A lot of people you depended on got
put out. Folks in slow motion for a while. A lot of release dates
and plans for cats down here got threw in the wind. It just made
us grind that much harder and spread out that much farther to
get where we need to be, but its all good.
DG - When can we expect the album to drop?
Big Blow - We're looking for a summer
release,, if not sooner.
DG - Do yall have any contacts where people
can get at you?
Copesetic - You can get at us on the web
at www.muddysippboyz.com or call the office at
228-313-1938.
DG - Any shout - outs you want to give?
Copesetic - A big shout out to the coastline
for supporting us. Our Home Team Records family. Our
managers James Thomas and Josh Johnson at J&J Management Firm
doing it big.
