The name 4 time$ comes from him being the 4th generation of Eddie Wilson. 4 Time$ best describes his music as Trap Soul. Using melodies and meaningful lyrics to express himself. Having developed his musical style over time, he has found himself to be creating music mainly under the Hip-Hop genre.
We had the chance to interview 4 Time$ via Instagram to talk more about his music career, musical influences, and his challenges in the music industry.

Hey 4 Time$, Thanks for coming to Honk Magazine to talk about your music career. Tell us a little more about when you first got into music?

The first time I even thought about doing music was during a rough time in my life emotionally unstable and not knowing what to get through that hard time I found music as an outlet to expressing my feelings and I found that very therapeutic. Around the end of 2019, I dropped my first song I have seen family members and close people that I know doing music and being successful so I decided to do music.
 
If you could describe your sound/style in one word, what would it be and why?
 
I would best describe my style as Trap Soul/ Drill music (which originated in Chicago). I can best describe it like this due to the surroundings I grew up around also my willingness to be vulnerable and talk about things some artists aren’t comfortable enough to talk about in their music.
 
What would you say to any aspiring recording artists who look up to your work?
 
I would recommend them to make music that they enjoy first and foremost and not worry about other’s opinions. Also important to be honest with themselves if an artist knows that their music isn’t at a level to release it continue to work on the sound until it is. Lastly never allow anyone to dictate or control what one can or cannot do with their artistic property never, never give up on their beliefs and make sure to market market market if one is an up and coming artist it doesn’t matter how good your music is if no one can hear the song it’s like it was never made. Lastly, take control of your own situation I am the CEO of my own label and am going to be a household in the near future!
 
Do you have anything new or upcoming we can expect to see from you?
I’m continuing to work every day I’m currently working on my first mixtape set to release sometime in November, but for right now I’m just continuing to drop singles and visuals

Rap Royalty Rumble, Nicki Minaj and Cardi B Square Off in Release Date Duel, Joe Budden Spills the Tea

The battle for rap supremacy between Nicki Minaj and Cardi B has been a long-standing saga, and just when you thought the dust had settled, it seems the queens are gearing up for another showdown. Recent events, including the release of Pink Friday 2 and the fiery “Like What” freestyle, have reignited discussions about the timing of their drops, prompting speculation about strategic release date maneuvers.

In a recent episode of The Joe Budden Podcast, the titular host, Joe Budden, threw gasoline on the fire, claiming that Nicki Minaj has a history of adjusting her album release dates to coincide with Cardi B’s. According to Budden, whenever Cardi was gearing up to drop a project, Nicki would swiftly alter her plans, playing a game of musical chairs with release dates.

“I ain’t trying to start any fires here [sorry, Joe], but Nicki changed that date like five times trying to sync up with Cardi’s drops,” Budden spilled to his intrigued co-hosts. “That was supposed to be the 50 and Kanye moment. It would’ve been a big boost for Cardi, you know? Nicki was going to sell regardless, but Cardi could’ve ridden that wave for a major marketing win.”

However, as fate would have it, the anticipated clash didn’t materialize, and Nicki dropped her project independently. Budden speculates that Cardi may have backed out, hinting at a retreat from the anticipated face-off. As we enter the sixth year of this rivalry, Budden suggests that other female rappers might be facing similar behind-the-scenes drama, where branding speaks louder than the music itself.

2024 has already witnessed Kid Cudi‘s musical revolution with the release of INSANO and its NITRO MEGA expansion, but the Cleveland visionary is far from done. In a recent Twitter revelation on March 2, Cudi tantalizingly teased two upcoming films, promising a rollercoaster ride of madness and hilarity.

“I got the music outta me,” he declared, igniting excitement among fans. “HELL NAW, the film at Sony with the Lucas Bros is coming together beautifully. It’s madddd funny and ridiculous. Can’t wait for y’all to see this madness.” And that’s not all – Cudi’s directorial debut, “TEDDY,” is on the horizon, set to unfold its magic sometime after the tour.

Breaking away from the musical scene, the 40-year-old maestro has boldly announced a shift toward film, with his next album slated for 2026. “Expect an album from me every other year,” he shared. “Next year is all about filmin’. Got a bunch of stuff I need to get done. Film and TV. Taking a year off music to do it all.”

But the surprises don’t end there. Cudi, known for pushing creative boundaries, recently flaunted a striking floral head tattoo that encircles his skull, marking a bold departure from his usual artistic expressions.

Returning to the cinematic realm, “Hell Naw,” a zombie horror comedy co-written with the talented minds behind “Judas & The Black Messiah,” promises to blend laughter and spine-chilling horror. Cudi guarantees, “You will be shook. I promise. Y’all know I don’t play around.”

On a more personal note, “Teddy” draws inspiration from Cudi’s 2009 hit, “Pursuit of Happiness.” Executive produced by Jay-Z and Jeymes Samuel, this comedy promises to weave Cudi’s personal struggles and experiences into a tapestry of trippy, fun, and poignant moments. Cudi believes, “This film is very close to my heart. It’s trippy, it’s fun, it’s sad, it’s life.”
