[With his Dark Horse album on store shelves, Chicago rap veteran Twista talks to SOHH readers about being an industry vet and digging into ventures outside of hip-hop.]
I don’t really try to preach [messages to the youth] a lot. I think artists can see it.
Just going through certain things and seeing how hard it is to be famous and in the street life at the same time, it makes you look back and wonder, ‘Wow, how did Twista ride all these years? How is he still able to move around out here with such grace and elegance?’
I think they learn from it, so I lead by example.
You may see a lot of things. There’s actually a particular belt that I’m about to come out with that a lot of people are going to like.
Especially if you are allergic to metal, I got these cool belts, a belt line that I’m about to come out with.
And just a lot of stuff. It’s definitely just not about music anymore. It’s about branding yourself and seeing how you can fuse in with other entrepreneurs and get money so that’s definitely where we’re taking it right now. -As told to SOHH Writer Nikita Rathod
Well apparently Twista didn’t age well in the music biz. I’ll admit Twista had some hits but I didn’t even know he dropped a new album until reading this article.
I am seriously wondering how anyone could find that crap on Wiz attractive or appealing. He’s already skinny as a pole and he’s putting ink on his body.
