Ghostwridah Interview

Underground hip-hop is full of idealistic up-and-comers who believe beyond a shadow of a doubt that they’re destined for superstardom, but precious few are as justified in their optimism as GhostWridah. Since introducing himself to our readers with the Shawty Lo-assisted “Born & Raised” more than two years ago, the Miami hopeful (and exclusive freestyle series contributor) has proven himself as an artist with both the skills to succeed and the determination to follow through on his big dreams. With the arrival of his latest street release, the rising star is preparing to take his game to the next level, showing hip-hop heads across the globe exactly why he’s “In Love With My Future.”
Ghost’s forthcoming, Booth-sponsored street album will find the unsigned (but probably not for much longer) emcee digging deeper than ever before, reflecting on topics from the pros and cons of celebrity (“Still Not Famous”) to the perils of an addiction to luxury goods (“Red Bottoms”) in tracks as packed with catchy beats as they are with lyrical insight. Executive produced by none other than heavyweight beatsmith/DJ Don Cannon, the eagerly-anticipated set is guaranteed to be the talk of the hip-hop nation when it hits our front page in June.
In an exclusive interview with our own DJ “Z,” GhostWridah steps into the Booth to discuss the “L.Y.F.E.” philosophy behind his music, what N.Y.C. taught him about the hustle, and the real story behind the “Red Bottoms” controversy.
