Ballgreezy replies, “ It just motivates me to want my own shine!”

By John Charles Reedburg (CEO/Publisher/Executive-Producer)

Q: What are some of your musical influences?

A: “Really it was like …what rappers had.” “But as I went on and did it.” “I started to like it.”

Ballgreezy- during an exclusive interview with Datzhott.com

Throughout dealing with the ups and downs in the turbulent world we call Hip-Hop, Iconz recording artist KINTA COX professionally known as BALLGREEZY or “Greezy” has managed to make his mark in the game. Even though, his melodic and captivating single entitled “Shone”, produced by Gorilla Tek, has already hypnotized the streets and set off major label alarms everywhere! DATZHOTT! had to ask the Florida native one question that the hip-hop world needs to know. What’s happening next?

In this Hott and Raw Exclusive, Ballgreezy talks about his latest music, linking up with Rick Ross, and his diligent effort in getting the streets behind him before officially dropping his debut album.

Fans wanting to download Ballgreezy’s music or to stay in contact, can do so via his MYSPACE.

Also after listening to the interview above. Be sure to check below and peep out a few of Ballgreezy’s tracks.

My personal favorite is “U Ain’t No Gon’.” But don’t get it twisted! The other two are FIRE too though!

LOL!

WHAT’s HOTT! ABOUT BALL GREEZY!?!

A mere coincidence fueled by destiny!

Ballgreezy comes from one of Miami’s fierce neighborhoods referred to as Little Haiti with his seven siblings. As a teenager, Greezy attended Miami Edison Senior High School, where he honed a natural talent for football and discovered his potential to succeed as an athlete. However, Greezy knew that his maximum potential was greater than sports.

Subsequently, his life took a different stage. He turned to the life of the streets and was solely driven by the love for money; determined to do whatever it took to get it. Quickly discovering that the street life was not the answer, Ballgreezy then capitalized on the guidance of his older brother and discovered his genuine ability to rap.

In 2001 Ballgreezy began transiting into a true master of the microphone and made several guest appearances on local rap artists’ music compilations.

In 2003, Ballgreezy put out his debut mix CD entitled “Straight Drop” causing mass hysteria throughout his hood in Little Haiti. By 2005, Ballgreezy’s local popularity led to a recording contract with Iconz Music. He has since shared the stage with numerous A-list, platinum recording artists such as Lil’ Wayne, Trick Daddy, Scarface, Trina and G-Unit.

   WHAT! I always assumed that he had a deal! This is a pure example how labels are slow at picking up pure talent when they hear it!

    Always a smart move for rappers to get the streets behind them before dropping an album. It works everytime. Look at T.I. and how it gotten him so far in the game. Big ups to Datzhott. I’m on here everyday. all day. And my fav B-Greezy joint out of all the ones thats up is U Ain’t No Gon. I mean the other too is heat. But U Ain’t No Gon make you want to rip a fool and that’s what I need in the AM LOL!

    There’s a rumor that he might be signing with Def Jam through Rick Ross.

    They should do a remix of Shone with a female on the track. You know just to balance it out.
15. DJSCooley says:

    May 19, 2009 at 5:03 AM

    Ballgreezy is like a mixtape monster.
16. Tez says:

    May 19, 2009 at 5:05 AM

    @Diva — Putting a female on Shone would be cool. But what would be even hotter is puttin’ T-Pain on that joint.
