Gully Tha Kid
Gully Tha Kid, has been making a lot of noise and stirring the pot to show the underground industry he is OUT HERE. Where does one start, he’s been in videos, on the radio, he’s been judging at KingOfTheDot (KOTD), he’s on countless mixtapes and he’s part of the OUT HERE Campaign by Mayhem Morearty. This is exactly what artists are supposed to do when entering a market and when promoting a new release or first mixtape; he is working hard. Gully Tha Kid is from Mississauga “Sauga City”, but I mean does he sleep... he is doin’ work with people from Mississauga, Brampton and Toronto- “everywhere”! Constantly on the move HOOKEDUPB caught him at the KOTD Event at the Blue Moon (Toronto) on May 2, 2009 to ask him some questions:
Before we get into your music related stuff, tell us, who is Gully Tha Kid?
Um… I’m just a real dude, do what I want, when I want, where I want, and worry about the consequences after; just a real dude coming from nothing trying to make something!
You have been working on a mixtape called: “The Definition of Gully” can we get the scoop?
I’m working on a masterpiece, especially for an artist that has never dropping anything before. I believe that I have one of the best projects from an artist that has never dropped a mixtape/album coming from this city ever! There is something for everybody on this mixtape to relate to. Some of the features are: Mayhem Morearty, Kid Cocky who is actually hosting it, Co.D’s, Organik, Stretch Diesel, and Sir Crizzy. Some production from: PVP, SLN, Dubs Da Beat Banger, and Young K. You can get it in the start of Aug. around Caribanna, definitely going to be promoting it than- perfect day to sell something!
What/ who inspired you to create the mixtape?
My life growing up until this point, there are the good times and there’s the bad times, the struggle, the swagg shit, just real life experiences in general helped me create this project. Also listening to a bunch of artist that inspire me to write like Cam’ron, Jim Jones, Mayhem, and Maino. Just…at the end of the mixtape people will know exactly what type of person I am.
Where do you want this new album to take your music journey to?
Hopefully a record deal! The plan is to release a mixtape so the public can get a feel for my music and the type of person I am and then drop an album, that’s when it’s really going to get serious. Just trying to expand my fan base and hopefully open up doors for people around me as well.
You have been doing a lot of collabo’s with other artist lately, which track has the most meaning to you?
One of my solo tracks is: “Perfect Mixture”- that is the song that opened up doors for me from the beginning, it’s a really deep song about my struggles growing up and losing my best friend, rest in peace Q!
But as for a collabo…um, probably the one I did with Poison, off the OUT HERE Album: “Runnin”. It’s a real track about life, going through struggle, losing friends; just a real track is going to touch everyone who listens to it.
Is there anything else you would like to add?
Stay tuned for the mixtape “The Definition of Gully”, in Aug. 2009… the Out Here Album is dropping soon. My own line of skateboards are about to drop, I’ll release more info closer to the date on that. Pay attention to me ‘cause I’m everywhere, on like every mixtape coming outta the city, a lot of mixtapes!
