Watts representative Glasses Malone has been grinding over the years, getting his first break via his popular 2005 mixtape, White Lightning (Sticks). In the interim, he's been working on his long awaited debut album, Beach Cruiser, and now it's finally coming in August 30th.
While in New York, promoting the upcoming release, the rapper discusses his delay with the debut, matter of factly stating, he hasn't made "a big enough hit record. I had to make a big commercial record, and I ain't been able to pull it off. They ain't understood what I been on. They decided to move past that and just let me put out the album."
Glasses also talks his relationship with Bishop Lamont; his brief problems with Ice Cube; the dynamic of Bloods and Crips in music and in the streets, and why their different; and the differences between hoods on the west and the east coasts.
Beach Cruiser is coming August, via Suburban Noize Records/Cash Money Records.
