While David Banner is synonymous
with the state of Mississippi, there are a number of artists who
have been bubbling right under the surface, ready to break out
into superstardom.
The Queen Boyz is such a group.
Grinding in the music business for nearly
a decade under the 1 Life 1 Love Records banner, Benz and Bra
have seen their share of ups and downs in the game (losing a distribution
deal with Interscope and various court cases), but are reloaded
with their new mixtape, "Getcha Weight Up," in stores
and a new attitude.
What have ya'll been doing since Boo got
the new record deal?
Bra: Well, you know, grinding. A nigga
been out of the area for a minute. But now you know it kind of
slowed down, but when I got back we picked it back up and now
it's finna go all the way live.
So what's the new mixtape coming out?
Benz: It's called "Getcha Weight Up."
What's that going to be about?
"Getcha Weight Up" is going to
be exactly what it's talking about - Getcha muthafuckin' weight
up! If you an artist, if you a group, if you a hater, if you a
label, if you a nigga, if you a bitch, if you ain't on our side
or you ain't down with us, getcha weight up nigga.
What ya'll got planned for the mixtape?
Ya'll plan on doing any touring, videos or anything else besides
that?
Bra: We don't know yet. We might. We might.
You know, it's just gonna be a surprise. We ain't gonna let it
all out. We just gonna come in and take it all over so quick they
ain't even gonna know it. So, we ain't just gonna put it out there
yet.
Mississippi, I heard here, there's a lot
of haters and a lot of problems going on. I heard some niggas
was saying shit. I ain't gonna mention no names, but I heard it
was some problems with a certain artist out of Mississippi, but
it was actually a misinterpretation. What's the deal with that?
I want to get your feedback on that.
It could be anyone you talking about because
it's been a couple of situations. It's been some niggas with some
major power and at some major levels that's done said some hatin'
shit and it got back to us. It's been some weak, little boy-ass
niggas that's done said some shit and it done got back to us.
Okay, as far as the major niggas in the major positions they had
to bow they ass down and straighten they situations out. As far
as the pussy-ass nigga, little-ass nigga on a little-ass level,
they get smashed. So they got smashed.
Bra: Like that weekend in the club!
Benz: Exactly! Now, whoever that apply
to, if ya feelings get hurt we talking about you. If ya feelings
don't get hurt then we ain't talking about you. You know who it
is.
Bra: Fifteen minute mufucka!
What's up with Boo's situation and how
is that going to affect ya'll?
Bra: Oh, it's a good thang. Everythang
is gonna be good. It put all of us in a good situation to where
we can all better ourselves and give the world a piece of our
mind.
Kind of explain it to me.
Bra: Well, you know, he done got signed,
so now since he's signed they looking at us. They talking, but
they ain't talking the right thang yet. So, you know, once they
start talking the right thang then that's when it's really gonna
get right.
What did the situation at Interscope teach
ya'll?
Benz: The negative out of the shit was
a nigga got lazy for a minute. Another negative out the muthafucka
was, which really was a positive, it made us smarter to the major
side of shit. The positive thang that came out of it - shit we
got a six-figure check. Shit a lot of niggas ain't gonna see six
figures while they're on this earth. Another positive out the
thang was it showed us man if you an independent or you a major,
don't never get sidetracked. Because see, a lot of mufuckas once
they get on a major deal, think they gotta stop working. But once
you get on a major, that's when you got to work harder. Like if
you was sleeping four hours when you was independent and working
20 hours a day, when you get a major you gotta work 34 and you
know what that means - stay ya ass up.
