Hello GenoDa1, and welcome to Honk Magazine! Congratulations on releasing your LP 3AM Sessions! Can you tell us a little bit about this project? 

Hey guys! First and foremost I want to thank yall for interviewing me and thank you so much I put my heart and soul into these songs so that really means a lot. But it was a long process creating this project. Probably took me like a year or so because I was going through a lot of hardship during that year. Couldn’t find a job, no money no nothing for studio time, and at the time my studio equipment was in the pawnshop because we needed money for the rent, food and to keep the lights on. So when I was starting out “3 am sessions” it was around August and around that time I went through a super bad break up we were even engaged. The breakup destroyed me so the project was originally supposed to be called “You Left Me Heartbroken and You Didn’t care” haha I know it was going to be a long title but that’s how I felt and I thought it would be catchy. But then the money started coming in slowly so I wasn’t able to make it all the way to Athens to my homie to record (One of my best friends Witt who was recording my project at the time goes to the University of Georgia) anymore. But finally found a job got all my equipment out of the pawnshop bought more equipment and started recording all my own stuff so I came out with this idea since I already had like 2 or 3 singles out for the original project (You Left Me Heartbroken and You Didn’t Care) I’m going to start this EP series called “3 am Sessions” and each “3 am sessions” was going to have 2 songs and I was going to drop a part 1 and part 2 and then for part three I was going to put all the songs I already released from “3 am Sessions” part 1 and 2 and put 5 unreleased tracks.  Which I think came out pretty Lit because everyone loves the project. 

Your style is very laid back, and chill – are you planning to experiment with your sound? 

Yeah, a lot of my stuff is laid back especially my older music because I used to do the old school New York type of beats. But now I’ve grown so much as an artist you don’t really know what you are going to get from me now. You might get a laid-back 90s boom bap vibe from me, maybe super dark sounding or even something to smoke to like my song “Sanctuary” Featuring my brother Zues that’s on my LP “3 am Sessions”. Then I might hear an Rnb/rap song and write a hook for a singer to sing (because i can’t sing for shit hahahaha) or then i might here a turned up trap song and write to that shit i even did a dancehall vibe song called “Tell Me” Featuring Fearro so like I said before you never know what sound your going to get from me at this point of my career with how much my music has grown over the years.

What inspires you to write your lyrics? Do you describe your personal experience? 

Life. Life pretty much is the inspiration behind my lyrics . My songs are basically updates on my life and what I’m going through at the moment. I’m the type of artist that has to go through things and write about them. And that’s the reason people love my music so much because not only are my lyrics deep but what I’m talking about is stuff that I’ve actually gone through or currently going through at the moment. I love when my supporters and fans come up to me and tell me “your songs help me get through whatever im going through” that right there is the best feeling in the world as an artist.

On LP 3AM Sessions you collaborated with a few artists – who would you like to work with in the future? Really i want to just work with any artist thats dope. But i have a lot of artists in mind but definitely Joey Badass, SchoolBoy Q, Kendrick Lamar i really wish Nipsey was still alive because he’s one of my favorite rappers of all time as well and i think me and him would have made some magic in the booth. I pray and hope one day Jay- z and kanye because they’re one of my my biggest inspirations in rap. But there’s a lot of artists I’m down to work with as long as your dope I’m always down. But I do have a song with a big feature on it coming out. Don’t want to say the rappers name but thats coming out very soon

Do you have any artists you look up to? Who is your biggest inspiration in the HipHop world? 

Jay-z, Kanye West, Lil wayne, 50 Cent, Drake, nas , Jeezy, Nipsey Husstle, DMX, Three6 Mafia, Trick Daddy, TI, Jadakiss, Wu Tang Clan, Ludacris, Bonethugs and Harmony, Eaz,y etc. hahaha the list goes on and on. I’ve been listening to rap since i was 6 years old. So that’s a long time and the best thing about it  my mom would buy me the explicit versions hahaha i just couldn’t say the curse words haha

Are you planning to release more music this year? What can we expect from GenoDa1? 

Yes of course!!! Even though i got a 12 song EP out right now I’m still working on music right now and plan on releasing a new song next week. The grind never stops. And more shows I’m getting those lined up now and also just a lot of music videos. But like i said i got a song with a big feature on it and I’m not dropping the video till i drop that song in june or july. But yeah basically more music, more shows and a lot of other stuff so stay tuned.
