Lil G, a regular down to earth guy, who can take a conversation to a whole new level. Who doesn’t let struggles hold him back… Reading back on the interview, something caught my eye, Lil G would like to be remembered as the best rapper in the Valley, that to me says a lot about a person, and to be doing a compilation for all the local artist with in the valley tells me his not in it for the fame but to make the dreams happen.

Lila) In your own words what defines Lil’ G & how would you like to be remembered?
LG) The definition of Lil’G, I’m just a regular guy. Down to earth, that will sit have a conversation when having a couple of beers. I respect everyone who shows it back. I would like to be remembered as one of the best rappers in the valley, who struggled to come up!!

LG) N.W.A., The Click , and TOO $hort

Lila) When you were first starting out, who were some of the local underground hip hop rappers you looked up to and why?

LG) Nastee Habits, it’s put together by some of the most talented people in the valley from rappers to R&B singers. Using the G-Spot Studio to do all the recordings, mixing, graphics, productions. One of my home boys came up with the name, saying that we have Nastee Habits!! (Ya, know what I mean) Just to tell you we never have a music session with out a “BEER or SMOKE” (he laughs when he say’s that) Since it was our 1st album we decided to use the same name for the NH Compilation for the reason that the label was new, and we’re trying to put it out there.

Lila) Did you ever get overwhelmed while planning the release of Nastee Habits and keeping all your other projects straight?
LG) I guess you can say a little we all get overwhelmed at times, when we’re trying to do many things at once

Lila) How would you describe your style?
LG) My style I would say is versatile, I love all music and I try to combine old with the new style. I don’t really like to focus on a certain types of styles, I like to keep my thoughts open when it comes to music

Lila) I’ve been a fan since back in the day and at this time my favorite song is Forever More, can you tell us what is your favorite on your album?
