Despite his newfound success, OG’s career in music was completely happenstance. In 2008, he went from doing “all the stuff that’ll land you dead or in jail” and freestyling on the block to laying down a track in a recording studio on a whim. OG has been able to cultivate his fanbase and engage new followers all organically with direct to fan mixtapes and a diligent street team. With no promotion or radio support his YouTube views have reached over 1.5 million views in just over a year. His first track “All I Got” featuring King Azz Star generated 200,000 YouTube views upon release and solidified OG’s place in Memphis’ hip-hop scene.
Known best as the birthplace of rock ‘n’ roll and for its deep blues roots, Memphis also has a budding hip-hop scene-a very competitive one at that. Although Memphis has spawned mainstream hip-hop artists like Three 6 Mafia, trying to move up through the ranks in a fragmented scene is a challenge, but one OG rose to. Growing up in a rough neighborhood prepared him for the struggles ahead. Instead of letting haters get to him, he channeled that negative energy into motivation to keep pushing forward with his craft.
Armed with raspy vocals and brutally honest lyrics, OG has positioned himself for success. Hosted by The Empire, the 20-track mixtape unfolds like an autobiography, illustrating his triumphs and setbacks alike. While there are tracks about girls, guns, hustlin’ and cars, OG is also not afraid to get introspective.
“It’s the real story of a real person–where I come from.”
Although he came from the hood, he knows there is more out there and wants others to know the same. OG hopes his music will inspire people struggling like him to realize that they can better their situation.
“I want people to know there are opportunities to get out of the ghetto. For me, music might just be that vehicle to reach bigger goals I never even dreamed of.”
