Meet and Get To Know Deuce 2Much
Kulture Vulturez: What has it been like growing up in Toledo, Ohio for you?
Deuce 2Much: It’s the same shit as every other city growing up here. You have poverty, you have the same gangster activities going on everywhere. You got the good neighborhoods, you got the bad neighborhoods, you got everything going on.
Kulture Vulturez: What is the culture like here in Toledo, Ohio?
Deuce 2Much: I don’t know really how to describe the culture down here, it’s just awkward. Everybody in their own lane, everybody finally focused on their money. Back in the day it was a whole lot of violence, it’s still a lot of violence now, but n***** trying to get them some money. That’s what I love, that’s what I like about it.
Kulture Vulturez: What inspired you to start rapping and making music?
Deuce 2Much: I never really got inspired for music really. When I lost my cousin, I lost my OG. Me and one of my homeboys made a song and it just blew up overnight. Every since then I just told myself I have to keep going there is no stopping. This is me now.
Kulture Vulturez: That’s when you first started rapping on a more serious level?
Deuce 2Much: I’ve dropped the song two years ago, but after I dropped the song I had got locked up and did a year in jail. So, I miss a year, but the song was released two years ago.

Kulture Vulturez: Did you grow up listening to music?
Deuce 2Much: I always was a fan of music. I always listened to music 24/7. Music is the only way I feel like I can express myself. Growing up I listened to anybody you could think of, from [NBA] Youngboy to Lil’ Baby, I use to be on A Boogie heavy, so I just listen to whoever.
Kulture Vulturez: How is the Toledo rap and hip hop scene?
Deuce 2Much: Toledo always had a music scene. Back in the day it was more older people taking over the music scene back in the day in Toledo. Now, you got a lot of young n***** that are 16, 17, and 18 years old that are poppin’ now in Toledo. Back in the day they were around 24 and 25 years old doing it. Now it’s a younger wave, it’s a lot of young n***** that are going hard in the city.
Kulture Vulturez: Is it easy to focus on your music and your brand in the city of Toledo?
Deuce 2Much: It’s not easy to focus on your music out here, because people in Toledo are only going to support you when you are winning. If you are not winning, you are going to have your own desire and hunger in yourself to go get it.
When nobody is believing in you it is not that easy to just get up and keep doing this and spending your time and money. A lot of times I’ll go out of town and go record. Fly to Atlanta, or fly to Miami, and just go book in the studio down there to catch my vibe and get my feelings out through a song. In the city, nobody cares about that.

Deuce 2Much: I got “May 29th,” it’s Deuce2Much featuring Chachi. I think it’s at 1.7 or 1.8 million, I don’t know, but that’s one of my biggest songs. I don’t really look at my numbers too much, but I have some big songs. People tell me all the time on the daily, or on the weekly, “Do you know where such and such at?” I don’t really ever too much look at them. But I have a couple big songs, “First Day Out” is one too.
Kulture Vulturez: What should people expect listening to you for the first time?
Deuce 2Much: Just know, if you listen to my music you are going to learn me, you are going to see a side of me I don’t really talk about too often. I don’t really talk a lot, so if you listen to my music you are going get an insight of my life. You’re going to find out who I am through my music.
Kulture Vulturez: What are your overall goals?
Deuce 2Much: I just want to make sure me and all people set and living comfortable, after that I’m cool. As long I can make it to where I know me and everybody around me are secure, I’m straight.
