Waka Flocka’s new artist Money Mou$e recently visited radio personality Georgia Ellyse’s Midday Show at 89.9FM/KMOJ studios to promote his debut project, Chedda Chasin’ the Mixtape.
The Brick Squad Monopoly artist talked about the mixtape’s concept, his favorite track and the future of hip-hop.
On Chedda Chasin’
This is my first project[…] It’s my introduction to the whole game of being an emcee and I approached it like a gentleman. My guy was going to get married and I told him I wanted to do the music for his bachelor party, so the music is for a bachelor’s party.
It’s a lot of Atlanta sound behind it, but I’m a Midwest kid, so I spit and I rap over those Down South beats. Then I took it to Cali… then to New York and built over there…Amongst all that moving, I just named it Chedda Chasin’.
On the future of hip-hop
People say [the game is] dying, but we’re working hard and we’re young, so we got a lot of opportunity to show them what it’s going do and where it’s going to go. It’s at a real good place. It’s at a place where anybody can prove themselves right now and get there name out there and get a way to make this their career — depending on how hard they work it.
Chedda Chasin’ is due to drop Christmas day (although the Brick Squad Monopoly artist admits to having already leaked it to his fans) and includes features from Waka and Too $hort.
Check out the full interview below to hear what his favorite track on the mixtape is and about his experience on tour with Waka and crew for Drake’s Club Paradise Lost summer tour.
