We’re working! I'ma feed off him, he feeds off me. If he puts something down for us, I'm wiping it down. Or I'll start the song, he'll go in there and finish it. If he starts the song off, then I'll go in there and finish it. If you listen to the album, you can tell. We freestyle everything, we don’t write nothing. What’s the energy like in the studio? Do you freestyle everything? We recorded the whole album in Atlanta, Dallas, and Houston. He said "come to Atlanta! Come to my house." He ended up shooting me some shit, I shot him some shit. An album?! That n*gga said we got an album! I was at a show in another state. I didn't know anything about it so when I saw it, I’m like "what?" He called me like "let's go get it." He did his interview with Vlad, he’s like "we got an album coming.” He didn’t even tell me at the time, he said it on VladTV. He’s like “man come to my house, so we can record.” We dropped a whole tape. I was finna fly.Īt what point did you guys decide to do a whole tape together?Ģ months ago, he called me like “where you at?” I don’t remember where I was. One of my partners, he’s dead now, he was putting me up there. In Downtown Dallas, there’s this thing I had to stand on.
I thought it was my friend the whole time. You still went against me like I did something. I'm saying “everybody ain't yo friend” because I did a lot, after you even crossed me. I didn't say “everybody ain't yo friend” because somebody said they’re not my friend anymore. He didn’t put us on.” But the same partners who said all this, I gave them somewhere to stay. Started doing interviews about me, they started doing all types of shit. It was official, all my partners went against me.
I don't remember looking at the song and saying “it's gon' blow up.” Because you can say that, then it doesn’t blow up. Nah, I never thought it was going to blow up. “Errybody” has over 44 million on Youtube alone. How did you get your name? What does the 3 signify? We're doing something, they’re looking up to you. When you get your first person to walk up to you and say “can I take a picture with you?” You're still looking at yourself like somebody regular, then somebody asks for a picture. Basically the first project, that's when I knew it was real. I could listen to you but if somebody follows you, they’re going to do more than listen to you.Īt what point did you realize this music thing was for real? There's a difference from listening to following. If it sounds good and you’re talking about something, you don't just get them to listen - you give them a follow. That's the only way they’re going to listen. I ain't trying to rap to make it sound good, I want you to feel it. What sets you apart from other street rappers? Whether it's my story or the next person’s story, they’re going to feel me. Me, I've been a rapper, but you could do whatever you want. The black community and the Hispanic community, we deal with a lot of poverty and struggle.
I'm this generation’s Boosie.Ģ mixtapes ago, when they finally felt the message of what I was trying to do. What does it mean to be dubbed the Boosie of Dallas? We caught up with Mo3 to discuss collaborating with Boosie Badazz, the inspiration behind “Errybody,” Mo3 describes himself as a “gang member turned rapper,” with music being his saving grace when it came to surviving the trenches. In addition, he’s a father to three beautiful children. BadAzz Mo3 is equipped with emotion, bangers, wisdom, and of course, that legendary Boosie Badazz flare. Following his most recent solo album Osama, his previous nickname in the streets, real name Melvin Noble returns with a collaborative project with the New Orleans legend. The crazy part is Boosie was Mo3’s favorite artist growing up, but Mo3 quickly became Boosie’s favorite rapper as soon as he caught wind of the movement. His ability to switch from spitfire rapper to melodic singer is proof alone of his innate talent to create music that not only sounds good, but resonates with audiences. The Dallas native is here to create heartfelt anthems for the streets, with lyrics about real-life experiences, obstacles, and getting it on his own coming from the mud. Only a select handful of artists get to be signed to Boosie Badazz’ label, and Mo3 is one of them.
