- Tell us about where you are from and how you got to this position today. BOSS HOGG He calls himself a "ghetto newscaster" and a big, big ladies man. At about 300 pounds. Boss Hogg's name is as unique as his appearance. He was born Robert Harper in South Central, Los Angeles. He is the product of a single mother home. "My mother was abused by my father and left on welfare. I had nowhere to turn but to a gangsta lifestyle because i grew up with a lot of confusion," Boss Hogg says. It's that confusion that inspires the critically acclaimed tunes that he produces today. Boss Hogg believes he would've ended up dead like so many young men he knew, but rap music was his way out. Boss Hogg's first performance drew cheers from his classmates at 68th Street Elementary School in L.A. The positive experience has propelled him to where he is today. Boss Hogg and Casanova met and instantly clicked due to their common goals and determination. They recruited Twisted (rapper) and Shorty Mac (vocalist) and labeled themselves Da Suspectz. Boss Hogg and Casanova started Suspectz Records in 2002 instead of trying to get a record label to sign them. Two of the groups's songs "early in the Morning" and "Game" are big hits on California radio stations KGGI 99.1 and KUCR 88.3 and are featured on a compilation cd entitled "Platinum Plus" which is being distributed in Ohio record stores and at www.cdbaby.com/cd/Ironfist1 . In 2003 Boss Hogg released "Guilty Ti Proven innocent" a 7 track EP under his label Suspectz Records this cd is available at www.cdbaby.com/bosshogg and has sold more than 3,000 hard copies and 100,000 downloads to date. He made it his business to feature on as many projects as possible including a group project titled Wyze Sonz Cartel "HATIN" witch got him a lot of attention over seas (Africa, UK, Canada, ect.). In 2008 Boss Hogg droped his first solo mix tape titled "Tha Unda Hogg" and sold several thousand copies mainly in NY, GA & AL . Disgusted with direction Hip Hop was going in Boss Hogg decided to hang up his mic. At least thats what he though at the time. What are you currently working on and what can we expect to see? Dropped my mixtape "He's Bacc" June 13 th, so i promoting that, working on my album & look forward to touring nationally soon ! Tell us about one of the hardest challenges you had to face in the industry? Corporate America figured out how powerful Hip Hop is and infiltrated our culture. Now they are using it to push their AGENDA which is keeping the masses Def, Dumb & Blind ! If u aint dancing and making music about a lifestyle that is unattainable for most then its hard to get major promotion. What was one of the biggest set backs in your career and how did you bounce back? Getting frustrated and taking 2 years off cause time stops for No Man, but "He's Bacc" now and better then ever What are some things artists need to be careful of? MAJOR RECORD LABELS What suggestions do you have for other artists like yourself? No matter how talented you are if you don't have an investor be ready to invest thousands before you ever see a dime. If you can deal with that then, treat this like a job you're getting paid to do even when you're not getting paid. Thats how you're going to put yourself in a position to get paid. Try not to burn any bridges if you can avoid it cause you may have to cross it again. What are the best ways to sell your products as an artist? It takes alot of internet grind but don't forget to hit the streets and take it to the people. What is one of your favorite ways to promote yourself and your music? Doing shows because if you have stage presence its easy to win fans over.
