When I say R&B, it’s for the motherfuckers that’s think the stereotype is you gotta dress this way, or you gotta talk like this, or you gotta wear skinny ass pants, and your hair gotta be like this. R&B, that’s what I do - don’t get me wrong, don’t get it twisted I sing. I do sing, and I take pride in me singing my ass off. I’m just a young nigga and that’s what I’m talking about in my music. I mean there is niggas that are dying everyday so there is more to life than just the regular shit. Motherfuckers out here living real life, and it’s more to life than just fucking a bitch. This is the thing that I don’t like - that quote-unquote R&B shit - ’cause that ain’t real. Dream is a A&R at Def Jam and he fucked with it, and it was only right to have that kind of person on your team, somebody who has been doing this and is experienced, so of course that’s my nigga. I went through the building and met a couple of A&Rs, and then I came to NY to meet with Dream. She saw some of the videos on YouTube from when I was 15. The situation, I went to Def Jam and I met with Karen first, she heard it and she had them watching me for a while. That’s my brother, and I fuck with what he do and he fuck with what I do. I was very fresh at that point, and that was my introduction, so just hopping on others people’s beats to give them my feel and what I would do on a track.ĭo you think that working with The-Dream is the best place for you to be?ĭream is a real nigga. The first project had a bunch of flips, and I felt like I needed to do that because I was very fresh and I still am very new right now.
The Product 2 is a bunch of original shit about 14 tracks of all original music. Well, actually, there is one, but I’m planning on doing another one though when I get back. You can expect a lot of original music everything is original. He’s raw, versatile, straight to the point, and in his words, “just a real nigga who goes through real life situations and puts that in music.” He is categorized as an R&B singer, but he possesses many layers beyond that. Fans got to see his talent up close and personal, glimpsing what August is all about. He first got a buzz via YouTube several years ago, when he started posting videos of himself singing cover tracks. He is currently signed to The-Dream’s Radio Killa Records by way of Def Jam where he is gearing up to release his debut album.Īugust is now just getting his shine, but he’s been putting in work for some time now. The newcomer is gearing up for the release of his second mixtape The Product 2 which will be hosted by DJ Drama as part of his Gangsta Grillz series.
The track is catchy, honest, and has a knocking beat that is hard to not fall in love with. The New Orleans singer with an in-your-face style is making waves with his new single “ I Luv This Shit” featuring Trindad James. It’s not about where you’ve been, it’s about where you’re going - and for August Alsina, that’s pretty far.
