When you think of Hip Hip in Virginia a few names come to mind: Timbaland, Missy, N.E.R.D, and The Clipse. We got a chance to record a studio session with Atlanta Artist, Wyld Money, an artist under Super Producer Danjahandz. Wyld Money, originally from Portsmouth, Va, hasn’t forgotten his roots, and after teaming up with long time friend, Nate Hills also known as Danjahandz, Wyld relocated to Atlanta and has been grinding ever since.
Euro P. Gold, rising hip-hop artist and Hampton University student, is forcing his way into the music industry with his smooth, but gritty flow, reminiscent of old school cats. This Philly native broke into the hearts of many hip-hop fans back in August with his first mixtape Day After Rehab: The Death Of Willie Minus.
The omnipresent theme of smoking marijuana throughout that ‘tape, alongside flows about the reality of his life at this point, makes listeners tune in attentively. Similar to artists, such as Kid Cudi and Lupe Fiasco, Gold is authentic. There are no songs about the flashiness or gaudiness of the average, overrated rapper. He simply talks about all that encompasses the everyday life of an African-American college student: classes, women, sports, sex and drugs.
Based out of College Park, Maryland, the band, Sugar Junkie has a lot of energy, and we captured some of it. We recently got a chance to ask them a few questions and snap a few pics of them in their natural habitat, so sit back and get to know Jamel, Anthony, and Shov. Oh yea, grab some candy while you’re at it.
