We feel fortunate to have the opportunity to ask you some questions because we&#8217;re huge fans of your music and have been tuned in since you released the &#8220;ELCAMINO&#8221; EP in 2017. In fact, that project was somewhat released with the Griselda Records imprint, when Griselda wasn&#8217;t yet the phenomenon it is now. But you were never officially affiliated with Westside Gunn&#8217;s label and only recently joined Benny The Butcher&#8217;s Black Soprano Family. So, how did your relationship with the Griselda members initially come about? And can you tell us more about that early period of your career?<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Around 2016 I met <\/span><b>Westside Gunn<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and I lived with him and <\/span><b>Conway<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for a year or 2 in Atlanta during that period. That&#8217;s around the time where I learned everything I needed to know as far as running businesses, watching West and I learned how to get my ass up and go to the studio on my own from <\/span><b>Conway<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Then <\/span><b>Benny<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> moved to Atlanta and that\u2019s when I learned how to hustle in this rap thing. So I pieced together something from each of the guys and added what I already had and now this is what you see.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"embed-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"ElCamino - Blood, Sweat &amp; Tearz Ft. Westside Gunn (Prod.

I never signed a contract before, so I was just trying to do what I saw done minus a label being behind me. I feel like it gave me more time to grow as an artist and as a man also.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"embed-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"ElCamino - London Gatwick (Official Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0tRh4Z_8pcw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<h4 class=\"question\">Why and how did you join Benny The Butcher&#8217;s Black Soprano Family?<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Truthfully I was never signed to Griselda and after I moved back from Atlanta I had already had a good relationship with Benny &amp; Dj Shay, and Shay always pushed me to work. I\u2019m just a guy always trying to make self improvement and Shay\u2019s constructive criticism is what elevated me above other artists, and me and Benny have been close since those Griselda 5 days (the 5 in like Griselda headquarters).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Again Benny is a Buffalo giant that I would always see him like at the barbershop as a kid and shit but we never spoke until we were introduced by West or it could have been Conway. But I always looked at bro like a big brother figure considering he brought me everywhere since day 1, so it was only right I stuck with bro and signed with him in 2022, it made the most sense and I would never go outside of where I come from.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"embed-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Benny The Butcher ft.

Can you tell us something about your personal life story and what it was like growing up in Buffalo from your perspective?<\/h4>\n<p>I grew up poor in Buffalo but being broke in Buffalo wasn\u2019t really that bad, some would say those were the best years of their lives being that they probably lost family since then. I could say growing up in Buffalo were the best days of my life, it wasn\u2019t until we was young adults when shit got fucked up, you know people started dying, friends started going to jail, that\u2019s really how it is in a nutshell it was sad times and it was good times.<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Elcamino, 38 Spesh, Benny the Butcher - Mobile Phone\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vrLJr4sMV4M?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Buffalo is a city where you pretty much got the opportunity to do whatever you want in life, it\u2019s just not enough information out there in arms reach and nobody\u2019s gonna tell you what\u2019s possible, they\u2019re just going to tell you to get a job and go to work which is cool, but Buffalo is a place you can live out your dreams if you follow them.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"question\">When did you decide to start rapping and you realized that you had a special talent?<\/h4>\n<p>I honestly wanna say around the time I started enjoying weed. We would just be on some hippy shit sitting around with the guys free styling.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"question\">We are amazed by your hustle, focus and work ethic despite your young age. In fact, during your career you released a ton of dope projects on your own and you\u2019ve been running a successful clothing brand too ( \u201cAnti gun violence\u201d). What pushed you so hard and what has been your plan behind your clothing brand \u201cAnti gun violence\u201d? How was it born and what\u2019s your vision and biggest ambition about it?<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I always wanted to make clothes. It started off with growing up poor and having to make clothes I use to cut shit up, bleach it, type, dye it, customize my kicks shit like that just to separate myself. And I couldn&#8217;t afford a lot of shit but I knew if I cut a pair of cargo pants I could make them into cargo shorts. But what really kept me going this entire time is coming from nothing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I always had dreams of being a businessman and going down to my 12th floor office in downtown Buffalo, and that was my first step towards that office. I got 2 other businesses as well, but Anti Gun Violence was the start of me owning businesses, that was like my first foot forward into the corporate world and it\u2019s continuing to grow. It means what it says you know anti gun violence because let\u2019s be real we all lost loved ones to gun violence.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"embed-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"ElCamino, Black Soprano Family - Zip Lock Olympics\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HkI2Yf95-v0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<h4 class=\"question\">You recently released your official release with B$F \u201cThey Spit On Jesus\u201d. Can you tell us how this album and its collaborations were born and the story behind this title?<\/h4>\n<p>\u201cThey spit on Jesus\u201d is a phrase and it\u2019s the Truth. I told my family I ain\u2019t gonna be a religious speaker lol but you gotta look more into the details to really understand the pic, you also have to know to understand, \u2018\u2019They spit on Jesus\u2019\u2019 the title is simply what happened and what\u2019s happening today.<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed-container\"><iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: They Spit On Jesus\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/1DaQ1QxakTy3QgW1Ew5Cfh?si=phiujiE9Txqc_E4tF2w_kQ&#038;utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<h4 class=\"question\">The first thing that catches the eye is certainly the cover artwork, certainly impactful and somehow provocative. Who created it and what did you want to communicate?<\/h4>\n<p>Abran Issaac created the image. I feel like the picture is amazing. I feel like if the Egyptians engraved it into a rock in those times they were around, it would be a historic ancient artifact from its perception and the details.<\/p>\n<p>And a lot of people don\u2019t realize that\u2019s all we see today. Everything is about sex. I can&#8217;t scroll for 8 seconds without seeing something sexual lol like God see y\u2019all. It is worth nothing that in today&#8217;s society, where sexual content dominates various platforms, this image stands out for its artistic merit and ability to engage viewers without relying on explicit themes. It serves as a refreshing reminder of the diversity and depth that exist within visual arts.<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"ElCamino (BSF) - New Bills Ft.

You could actually hear the difference in the albums usually when I don\u2019t promote them, they suck, they more like mixtapes with album rollouts.
