We recently chopped it up with the self-proclaimed "Grand Hustle Muscle," Alfamega, to talk about his upcoming debut, trying to be as big as his label head T.I. and his plans to record a joint album with Busta Rhymes.
Alfamega grew up in an Atlanta housing project and by age nine, he already found himself caught up in a life of crime. Though rap was always a hobby, Alfa didn’t begin to hone his craft until he was sentenced to seven years in jail.
Within weeks of being released the rapper landed a deal with Universal Records and when that deal dissolved, his childhood friend T.I. was there to embrace him.
“I got with Tip, we did a handshake deal, never signed no contracts or nothing,” Alfamega explains. T.I. eventually helped the rapper secure a deal with Capitol Records through his own label, Grand Hustle.
