GoldMouf Kev – Exotic
Meet and Get To Know Goldmouf Kev
Kulture Vulturez: What is the culture like in Dayton, Ohio?
Goldmouf Kev: It’s like everywhere else. Stay fresh as hell, fresh everyday and keep yourself nice. Getting money, turning up, and doing the best thing you can do to turn up. Doing whatever you can do. The rap game is to the max. We trying to get everybody turned up, and everybody on. There are a lot of good rappers in the city.
Kulture Vulturez: What was it like for you growing up in the city of Dayton?
Goldmouf Kev: Being from where I’m from, Greenwich Village, I guess a terrible neighborhood if you want to say, but growing up was fun for me. I had my mom, grandmother, and my cousins to raise me.
I was known to play basketball, things like that sports wise. Then, you know, a product of my environment I went to dip and dab in drugs and started doing robberies. Once I mastered something so crazy, once the basketball shit did not take me nowhere, I went to a life of crime.
Kulture Vulturez: Were things different when you came home from prison?
Goldmouf Kev: A whole lot different. The way everybody dressing, the way everybody talking, the morals people have, you know things like that. Buildings gone, places I have robbed no longer in business, a whole lot has changed.
Kulture Vulturez: That change did not affect anything for you adjusting?
Goldmouf Kev: Nah. The reason why it didn’t affect me because I stayed on the phone in the joint all day. My family sent me pictures and kept me updated. I read every rap magazine they got out and had them sent in to me. So, I came like I never left. The only thing I missed was the action, the physicality of it, walking round, after all that it was nothing.
Kulture Vulturez: You were incarcerated for 12 years in prison?
Goldmouf Kev: Yeah, twelve straight.
Kulture Vulturez: Were you focus on music during your time in prison?
Goldmouf Kev: I wrote three to four songs a day. If the music changed in that timeframe, I changed. That’s why I came home with no bicker. You can ask anyone in my city, I came home you wouldn’t think I did twelve, they think I was on a college campus somewhere or moved to another city, but I was behind them gates.
Goldmouf Kev – Disrespectful
Kulture Vulturez: Once when you got out, you started to take your pursue of a career in music serious?
Goldmouf Kev: I see the game ain’t change, it turned into a streaming and viral situation. I feel like I got the look, I’m already there, I got the streets behind me, there is nothing flaw about me, and you can check my records, so why not. Everyone else is doing it. It is real money behind it, and you don’t need a record label behind you, so that’s what is going on.
Kulture Vulturez: What got you started into rapping?
Goldmouf Kev: My mom, she recorded me freestyling old tracks for her, and kept going back and forth. I just played basketball and rapped. I took a sting and went to prison for twelve years for being a robbery king and organized crime leader. I was going to give up on music, but my family continued to keep me going, which is Hard Bottom Entertainment. I came out and step foot right back where I left off at, and just turned it up.
Kulture Vulturez: If someone is checking out your music for the first time, what can they expect?
Goldmouf Kev: When they check out my music just expect rawness, realness, no fakeness. I have stuff for the women, I have stuff for the gangsters, I have stuff for the smart guys, I got everything. I’m not stuck in one element, I’m all of them. I have been to school, I have graduated, I have been in the streets, I have seen a lot of money, I have been broke, I done have whips, I have had houses, I have had everything. Now I’m at the bottom of the barrel from after twelve years came home to nothing, build up to the top.
Kulture Vulturez: What do you think is going to be the biggest obstacle for you to get around?
Goldmouf Kev: The biggest right now is getting people outside my city, bigger cities like Atlanta, Miami, and in California, to recognize me. I feel like it is too much flaw in the game and not enough realness. I feel like once they realize I’m one of the realest and I’m bringing out great quality of music, I feel like they should f*** with me.
