The Hip Hop Chronicle spoke to Shawty Lo a few hours ago. Shawty who recently won the Breakthrough Artist at this year’s O Zone Awards has been on fire in the last year.
Tracks like Dey Know and Foolish have been huge successes and the D4L Records CEO is getting the accolades that he deserves.
Recently his on-going beef with T.I. has overshadowed the great work Shawty does both musically and in his community.
He spoke exclusively to me about how he got into Hip Hop, his thoughts on how America has embraced him & his new album.
He confirmed that he is working on his new album and while it doesnt have a title yet, the first single will feature Lil Wayne & T-Pain.
We also got into Shawty’s community work. Shawty has been known to thrown impromtu free concerts outside supermarkets, free diabetes checks & free haircuts for kids and is working with a YMCA for music classes.
On the 20th September, Shawty is taking part in a diabetes walk, which raises money for the American Diabetes Association
I also spoke to him about the T.I. situation. Last we heard on it, no progress had been made and T.I. actually shot a video in Shawty’s neighbourhood (Bowen Homes).
BUT
Shawty has confirmed to me EXCLUSIVELY that the BEEF IS OVER. When pressed to answer whether a track is in the works, Shawty replies ‘stay tuned!‘.
This is the first time that Shawty has decleared the beef to be dead with any publication (well that im aware of anyway)
I wish Shawty the best in his endevours, he’s extremely humble and is really a chillin guy.
