Man on Campus I’m the average city kid dream chasing tryna beat the odds and

TMC: What was is about music that made you want to pursue
it?
CDG: music grew on me since a kid I’ve always had a way
with words especially with the ladies and rather large vocabulary. Outside of the
fact that everybody I grew up around used to flow .so after a while I started
trying to put my own pieces together and before u knew it I was spittin my 16s
in the local barbershops and droppin tapes at 13
TMC: Name some people that you look up to the most when
it comes to music?
CDG: Meek Mill & Kendrick Lamar
TMC: What is your favorite thing about being an artist?
CDG: it’s our god given super power and I say that
because you have the power motivation someone or soothe there pain or just
bring happiness you can take the human mind wherever you want it to go and to
me that is something special to have the
ability to make your words paint pictures or even tell a story
TMC: Give us a lil resume of things you've done &
people you've worked with?
CDG: let’s see last December I opened up for
meek mill at the main street armory black out event in that was heavy! then
over the summer I flew out to LA to rock out with Dricky Graham at the artist
to know show I’ve got one of my mixtapes hosted one of new jersey hottest djs and
placed on coast 2 coast mixtapes and my latest tape hosted by College club
kings dj zeke

should the fans be expecting?
CDG: im currently working on pushing the one man army
mixtape its 15 tracks very solid very versatile and I feel it’s something to be
proud of. my fans should def be expecting
more videos I’m just getting everything right no fraud no gimmicks everything u
see in these videos are all me no loaners no rental just me I want people to
see the transformation and the changes of me entering the game so expect the
unexpected
TMC: Biggest Achievement & Biggest Challenge since in
the industry?
CDG: right now I would say the artist to know show
because I went halfway around the country to do a show at that with one of the most
poppin new artists in the game I got to network with all kinds of people
including hit maker jazzy pha and all types of companies as far as challenges I
would just have to say the shadiness that comes with it. in this game a lot of the
love is fabricated alotta people with show you love until you starting do
better than them it’s just not a sport for the weak minded u gotta have heart
to survive

other artists on the come up?

own lane the gangstas with diplomas era made it cool to be smart and go to
school! ima full time student n yeah i was out in these streets but I was also
