HotNewHipHop: How would you describe your music and your sound for those who are not familiar?
Big Homiie G: I been doing music for a while. My music is based on real life experiences … the clubs, the drugs. Hood stuff... I'm self made & it's self explanatory.
He Wants People To Stay Motivated
Being that Moneybagg Yo is your cousin, how do you think he's played a role in your career?
A cosign is always the cheat route. It's the cheat code. He taught me how to stay consistent with music. You can't just drop a project and think you can lay off a year or two.
What is the biggest thing you’ve learned from working with and watching Moneybagg Yo?
Bagg showed me how to stay consistent. I used to be his hype man. He showed me how to stay down and never give up. It gotta work, and that there's no plan B… Staying involved … I was going to photoshoots. Interviews. Staying in the studio. Always trying to be creative. Staying on social media. Stay in peoples' face.
What was the inspiration behind creating this project?
This project is about being motivated … to get your own. You can be an independent artist and can still ball like a major. I put so much into this … it's a lot of pain in there, club songs, vibes.
What went into the creation of your tracklist? How did you go about picking the right artists for each song?
When I'm selecting people, I already hear the person on it. Like, GloRilla, she perfect for this song. Rob49 we were in the studio together, we made that together. He did what he did. DeeBaby, he reached out to me... I have all really great relationships with each artist.
Big Homiie G On The Future
Who are some of your dream collabs that you'd like to see happen?

In addition, what message do you ultimately want audiences to take away from your latest project?
Just being self motivated. I just want people to be self motivated. Gotta want to do it for yourself. This project finna be amazing. Get into it. It's gonna be the best project that’s out. Listen to what I'm saying.
