Gunplay says he's now "staying out of trouble," speaks on his new fanbase.
Following
various run-ins with the law, Maybach Music Group artist Gunplay says
he’s now “staying out of trouble.” The Floridian emcee recently spoke
with
Mikey T The Movie Star about his lifestyle change and almost having his freedom taken away.
“Just staying out the way, man. Just staying out of trouble,” Gunplay
said. “Out the way. Staying home. Only moving when money calls. You
know what I’m saying? Shows, et cetera. But other than that, dog, I’m
just humble, man. When you get your freedom almost took from you it
kinda does something to ya. And it’s a new charge and shit. So, I’m
really, really, really chilling now.”
In addition to adopting a less hectic lifestyle, Gunplay says that
he’s also come across a new fanbase. The rapper says his new fanbase is
less familiar with the “selling crack,” “snorting coke” Gunplay and are
more familiar with his wild side.
Gunplay also spoke on the tracks fans can expect on his upcoming album,
Living Legend.
Among the records he says will be featured on the album are one EDM
track and another track, which features guest verses from Lil Wayne and
Rick Ross.
“I have a new fanbase,” he said. “So, I’m not trying to cater to
them, but give em something that they’ll fuck with. You know what I’m
saying? Cause my new fanbase—They know me for selling crack and snorting
coke and busting guns and shit. You know? The hood know me for that.
But my new fanbase, they wanna hear the crazy Gunplay, the wild Gunplay.
They wanna hear that. So, I gave em a record called ‘Crazy’ featuring
Young Dro. And of course for the stoners my nigga Wayne. Ross on there,
‘Kush.’
Got an EDM record on my album. Kinda EDM-ish. That’s gonna really be
big. Shot the video with J.R. Saint. Shot that out there in the Mojave
Desert…Just something different. I be bored with music and shit.”
Lastly, Gunplay addressed his past drug use and recalled being labeled “a crackhead” at the start of his music career.
“Can't no nigga snort as much cocaine as me neither, muthafucka," the
rapper said. "They tried to ruin a nigga career early in the game. ‘You
a crackhead mothafucka.’ But shit, man. I’m against all odds. Me
against the world."
Living Legend is currently slated for release later this year.
