GRAFITI BOYZ

Grafiti Boyz...Passion 4 the Industry
~Kristain M.

In 2007 The Grafiti Boyz Took Over The South, Hitting The Charts With Their Debut Hit, “Ride Swerve”. But With A Small Absence From The Radios, We Wanna Know More About The Graffiti Boyz And The Fans Wanna Know What Next?!....

How did you come up with the name ‘Grafiti Boyz’?

Skool boy: At first we were known as the all-stars then we went to this Def Jam showcase in St. Louis and found out that there were too many all-stars. So we all wrote some different names down on a piece of paper and ended up drawing the name GRAFITI BOYZ. Chris Liked It So We Went With It.

How would you describe the Grafiti Boyz style?
Fat Boy: I would describe it as in between crunk and our own personal swagger.

Who are your hip hop icons and how do they influence the way you make your music today?

Geno the Great: Jay-Z, Nas, Ludacris, anybody who is creative. They influence me in a way that pushes me to make our music better.

Skool Boy: Bobby Brown, Lil Richie, Boosie, Gotti, Naz, Jay-Z

Fat Boy: Pimp c., Jay-Z, Outkast. Pimp C. Raps about real stuff and always reps the south. Jay-Z is more lyrical and Outkast just kills everything they do. Their music is crazy and so is the Grafiti Boyz.

How would you describe your first time in the studio?

Geno the Great: “Man, hard and crazy! I remember we did a song call, “We Like ‘Em”. I liked It so much I was willing to put my own money into it and I was 16 working at Captain D’s. That Check Ain’t Big, But I was willing to put it into the studio, cuz it was something I liked to do and I knew it was gon bring me money later on in life. I knew it, but then I didn’t know it, I had to have that faith in myself and that’s what it was.”

What Plans Do The Grafiti Boyz Have For This Year?
Geno the Great: Acting and beats! We actually just finished doing a low budget film. I always feel that an artist should know two or three things in this industry.

What Is Something That Your Fans Wouldn’t Expect From You?

Fat Boy: I Think By Me Being Fatboy My Fans wouldn’t expect me to take my shirt off during A Performance.

What Can We Expect On The New Album?
Skool Boy: This album we got something for the ladies, we got a song called, “Body Body”.

Who are some artists that you’ve worked with?

Geno The Great: We’ve worked with Jibbs, Yo Gotti, Brad (w/universal records), Franchise Boys, Fate Eastwood, All-Star.

What Are Your Current Projects?

Skool Boy: We’re currently working on a mixtape called PAINT SHOP and then we have a new single coming out called LATEROLL.
