Unique Access host Soren Baker chops it up with South Central Los Angeles artist G Perico. Starting the interview off, Soren mentions Perico’s new project, Shit Don’t Stop, and asks what it’s like getting a positive reaction after grinding for a while.
“It’s tight, just ‘cause I never really felt it before,” G Perico responds. “I still don’t know how to take it all in, but man, I love it. It makes me want to keep my head down and go harder.”
Soren asks about the last song on the project, “Streetz Dont Love Us.”
“It’s pretty much how I was feeling at the time,” G Perico explains. “All that shit was weighing in on me, just different situations, like homies getting set-up and shit like that…It was no thought, really. That shit came straight from the heart.”
Perico admits that he tries to avoid depressing subjects, though, and that he tries to make positive music instead.
“Instead of me just touching on all of the bad shit,” he says, “let’s just touch on the good shit, and enjoy life.”
Soren switches up the topic and asks Perico how he was able to switch up the Master P angle on “Bout It.” G Perico states that an outside producer sent him the beat and he ran with it.
“That’s one of my favorites,” G Perico says. “It’s one of my favorites to perform, too.”
The West Coast rapper talks about getting inspiration from Ice Cube on his track “South Central,” and how he wanted to put his city back on the map. “They talk about Long Beach,” he adds. “They talk about Compton. They talk about Inglewood, and Watts…I just feel like South Central is slept on.”
In order to keep his movement going, G Perico says he’s peeping game.
“I’m like more-so a student of everything,” he reveals. “I’m studying my mistakes of where I went wrong at with the last tape.”
