August.
The Breakfast Club.
"Morning everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Lee, and Charlamagne Tha God. We are the breakfast club, We got a special guest in the building. Mr August Alsina.""Lets talk about the craziest fans you ever had." Angela said, "You have to had something crazy happen to you."
"What is it?" Envy blurted out.
"Let me see." I played wit' my chin hair, "One time a chick cropped one of my pictures and tagged it, "Me and Bae." It was actually an old picture that I took with someone along time ago. Da' fan took out the original persons face and replaced it wit' hers."
"Check dis' out." I showed the picture to everyone.
"She really cropped out the picture." Angela laughed.
"It gets funnier everyday. It's really just new ta' me. But at da' same time it's creepy cuz' girls are aggressive and it gets real. Especially wit' da' type of people I attract."
"I know. Because your fans were coming at me for just calling you my boo." Angela laughed.
I laughed.
"But for real doe' da craziest thing dat' happened ta' me before is when dis' girl broke into my hotel room. I thought dat' wasn't coo' at all." I said.
"Yeah. Especially when someone breaks into your room. That's just creepy." Angela said.
"What she look like." Charlamagne blurted out.
"I mean-"
"She must've ain't look that good." Charlamagne said.
"I don't know. I was really about ta' go to sleep. She could've killed me or something." I said, "She had told security dat I was her man."
"Damn. Security fell for that." Angela and Envy said, "That's pretty slick for anyone that's trying to get into someone's room."
"Now you need to put some locks on the doors." Charlamagne said.
"Man. I shouldn't have ta' do dat." I laughed.
"A person that went through all that, she deserves-" Angela said.
"Deserves what?" I looked at her.
"Oral sex." Angela replied.
"Next question." I said, "Let's talk about the album."
They laughed.
"How does it feel to get your Album out there?" Envy asked.
"It's a blessing man. Dats the only real word I could think of because I neva' thought I would actually make it dis far." I said, "Especially when you're a new artist. You don't really get ta' put out a new album."
"I agree." Charlamagne replied.
"It's just kind of cool ta' actually do it da way I want."
"What made you release the album on April 15th?" Charlamagne asked.
"Dats' my brotha birthday. So happy birthday and Rest In Peace to him."
"Mhm." Angela hummed.
"My brotha got killed on August 31st in New Awlins' and you know in New Awlins' people die. Before he died he was like man in New Awlins' we don't live ta' see twenty five. And that's exactly what it is." I said.
"What made you move to Atlanta?"
"It was just me making a decision of making it on my own. Growing up was a struggle because of my living situation. I neva' had a male figure ta' look up too. And my moms was with my steppops who was doing drugs. It was just so much going on and my momma had kicked me out of da' house."
"What's your situation with your mom like now?" Angela asked, "Is she happy for you?"
"Uh- me and my momma we in like a weird place right now. Of course I love my momma ta' death because dats my momma and I wouldn't be here today but uh- sometimes you just gotta leave some situations in da' past and move on from it."
"And uh- my steppops man I just can't fuck with it." I said, "I was just like I'm going ta' be homeless before I deal wit' dat'. Just come holla' at me when you wanna come holla' at me."
"Yeah."
"When people buy your music how do you feel."
"They're my fans. I love my fans. They da' people dats making me continue on making music. Just tryin' to make it outchea ya' heard me."
"It's the breakfast club you already know what it is. With August Alsina." Envy shouted into the microphone.
"Yeah!" I shouted.
We went off air and I went and grabbed a bottle of water off the table.
"Thanks for coming in man." Envy dapped me up.
"No problem man."
I said my goodbyes ta' everyone and walked out the building.
