WordofSouth.com: So what has been going on with you these days?

B.G.: Shit man grindin’, doing what I do best ya heard me? I’m workin’.

WordofSouth.com: You got sales for the new album around 150K. Do you plan to shoot a new video to push those sales higher?

B.G.: Yeah, I’m a shoot one more video. I probably do the remix to “Move Around” with Juve (Juvenile) and (Mannie) Fresh. I might do one more single to push it a little bit up. I’m bout to get into this Atlantic situation, so you know I’m coming right back out at the end of the year around Christmas time.

WordofSouth.com: You signed the deal with Atlantic. What was your deciding factor in joining with them?

B.G.: At the end of the day, I wanted to make the decision that was best for me and my label to go to. Truly that was my whole independent grind was to branch out and set myself up to go back to a major. A lot of people didn’t think that I could do it on my own without Cash Money. I started Chopper City and I let it be known that B.G. helped build them. My last four years of my career was basically to set myself up for what I just did.

WordofSouth.com: You had a lot of haters saying that you wouldn’t be able to make it on your own, but now you are back with a major. How do you feel about that?

B.G.: I feel good about it, I feel damn good. I know I can get dough. I bust my ass and worked hard for them, so I am gonna bust my ass even harder and work for my damn self.

WordofSouth.com: How does T.I. play into this? I heard that he was going to be the executive producer.

B.G.: Yeah T.I., that’s my nigga, we about to merge Grand Hustle and Chopper City like Sprint and Nextel did. T.I. doing his thing holding it down, king of the south, and I’m doing my thing, the heart of the streets. I’m a T.I. fan, T.I. a B.G. fan, and we work well together. Ya done heard some of the songs on his albums, the song on my album, and real niggas recognize real niggas and real niggas respect real niggas. I respect everything that he is doing with Grand Hustle and he respect everything that I am doing with Chopper City, so we just came together with no egos and negativity.

WordofSouth.com: Do we expect more B.G. and T.I. music together in the future?

B.G.: Oh most definitely, you may even get an album.

WordofSouth.com: Let’s talk a little bit about the Chopper City roster. What are your plans for the Chopper City Boys, when do you plan to release their album?

B.G.: I got their album coming up this summer and my plan for them is to really set them up how the Hot Boy$ was setup. “B.G. Presents the Chopper City Boys,” and they are my little brother Hakim, Gar, Snipe(r), and V.L. Mike. All four of them go hard and my plan for them is to really take the streets by storm. I’m more than confident and more than sure that they can hold their own, so I’m just about to let them set ‘em up and let ‘em loose.

WordofSouth.com: Have you signed any new artists recently?

B.G.: I just signed an R&B cat named K'Jon from Detroit, and I got a couple more people that I am looking at. I ain’t trying to do too much at one time, I’m trying to get everyone I got out first before I sign some more acts. Right now, I got my plate full, so I’m gonna get the ball rolling with what I got now.

WordofSouth.com: What made you sign K'Jon?

B.G.: Man, the muthafuckin’ nigga hot, man! The nigga can blow. He sound the same way when he perform live with a mic than when he sound in the studio. That won me over and he’s hungry.

WordofSouth.com: Do you plan to organize a production team?

B.G.: You already know, that’s in the making right now. We got Chopper City Music and I’m putting a whole production team together. I got a lot of hot upcoming producers that I’m looking at. My old albums, I got a lot of new producers on there. I wasn’t looking to buy no names for production, I wasn’t looking for hits. You got niggas in the basement, ya know, that might charge $500 a track who sound just as good as someone charging $50,000 a track. That’s what I’m looking for, them young niggas that just pour they heart out and put out that heat.

WordofSouth.com: When do you plan on releasing that “Life After Cash Money” DVD?

B.G.: I got the DVD coming out. I was going to put it out with the last album, but I just keep adding more and more footage. It’s like a mini movie right now, at about an hour and a half. When you see it you gonna keep rewinding and rewinding and you gonna watch that bitch about two or three times in a row. That thing real and I wanna put it out right because it’s telling a story. I gave you “Life After Cash Money” the album and I guess the audio wasn’t enough, so I’m a have to give you the visual.

WordofSouth.com: People are still wondering if that B.G. and Soulja Slim album will ever be released. Any updates on that?

B.G.: Yep, me and Slim mama always talk about that. I ain’t just want to put this out, I wanted to make sure the situation was right. Now with me having that Atlantic machine behind me, that could be an outlet to run it through.

WordofSouth.com: Out of all the albums you've dropped, which are you the most proud of?

B.G.: I feel like “Life After Cash Money” was the best-put together album. I feel if I would have put this album out on a major, I think I would have sold three or four million records. I had five singles on that album, at least five singles. That album was well put together and I put a lot into that album.

WordofSouth.com: Turk was sentenced to 12 years last month. What were you feeling when you heard that news?

B.G.: When I heard about that I couldn’t believe it, cause I was under that impression that it was gonna go another route. I had upped some money and got him a new attorney. Fresh also upped some money to get him a new attorney. When I heard about that, it kind of fucked me up. I haven’t talked to Turk since the sentencing and I usually talk to Turk three or four times a week.

WordofSouth.com: The south is huge right now, do you feel at all that you should be recognized more for the part you have taken in that rise?

B.G.: Muthafuckas know! As long a nigga respect me as a man, it’s all good. Everyone’s always gonna know the role I played with Cash Money. I ain’t trippin’ and I feel good about the whole movement and the south as a whole period. Muthafuckas like Rap-A-Lot, Scarface, and UGK paved the way for us.

WordofSouth.com: Do you plan to make a bigger impact this second go round with a major?

B.G.: Watch me.
