G-STATUS PRODUCTIONS STARTED IN 2007. BIG CITY PRODUCTION IS OUR BIG BROTHER COMPANY. POWERFUL A.K.A. THE MIGHTY P-GOD IS THE FOUNDER OF BIG CITY PRODUCTIONS.BACK IN 2006 IS WHEN I (MAR) FIRST HEARD MY G P-GOD ON THE BOARDS. HIS SOUND WAS LIKE NO OTHER. I WAS REALLY MOVED BY IT. IT WAS A MIXTURE OF KANYE WEST AND THE STREETS. I WAS WIDE OPEN. I EVEN QUIT MY JOB BECAUSE AT THE TIME I FELT LIKE WE WAS GOING TO MAKE IT.SO I JOINED UP WITH BIG CITY AND STARTED TO GET RID OF THE DEAD WEIGHT. THEM LITTLE DUSTY DUDES AND WACK, FAKE, STUDIO GANGSTAS. YEAH THEM CATS WAS NOTHING BUT DEAD WEIGHT.NOW THAT THE ROSTER WAS OPEN AND P-GOD STARTED FUCKING WITH ME WE STARTED FUCKING WITH DARK MOBB. AND BIG CITY GOT A FEATURE ON SUPER STAR J. THEN MY BROTHER BIG-Q WAS COMING AROUND THEN WE STARTED FUCKING WITH BIG TRUCK. THEN FROM THERE BIG CITY PRETTY MUCH GOT THAT REAL STREET BUZZ, NOW EVERYBODY AND THEY GRAND MOTHER WANTED TO FUCK WITH US. AND P-GOD WAS READY TO FUCK WITH THEM, BUT NOT ME.
BECAUSE BEFORE WE GOT IT POPPIN CATS WAS FAKING JACKS, AND THESE ARE THE SAME DUDES THAT I HOLLERED AT BEFORE WE WAS FUCKING WITH MY BROTHER BIG-Q , BUT AFTER THAT NIGGERS WANTED TO JUMP ON THE BAND WAGON.OH YEAH ME AND P-GOD ALSO MADE SOME MAGIC TOO. NOW EVEN THOUGH P-GOD AND I MADE SOME HOOD CLASSICS I STILL FELT LIKE I WAS MISSING SOMETHING. WHAT I WAS MISSING WAS THAT CRAZY NEW WAVE-EUROPEAN TYPE SOUND, SO I WANTED TO LEARN THE BASICS OF MAKING A HIP-HOP BEAT SO I CAN COMBINE THAT NEW WAVE-EUROPEAN SOUND WITH HIP-HOP IN HOPES OF OPENING UP A NEW DOOR FOR HIP-HOP & R&B.SO IN 2007 I TAUGHT MYSELF HOW TO DO THE DAM THING. HOW I DID THAT WAS BY READING THE PIANO ROLL OF P-GOD'S BEATS AND MY G LA OF LA PRODUCTIONS. I TELL YOU I PICKED UP THAT LIVE SOUND FROM LA. THE CRAZY RAPID SNARE DRUM AND HI HATS.
THEN MY G P-GOD IS WHERE I LEARNED HOW TO DO THE BASICS.
THEN ME BEING ME HAVING THAT CRAZY WAY OF ZONING OUT, YOU KNOW I'M TALKING ABOUT STEPPING OUT OF THE BOX TRYING SOMETHING YOU DON'T DO AND SEE IF IT CAN BECOME SOMETHING THAT EVERYBODY DOES. FEEL ME.
IN ANY CASE TO MAKE A LONGER STORY SHORT, THE TIME CAME WHEN P-GOD AND MYSELF WENT DIFFERENT WAYS. I ENDED UP DOWN SOUTH IN N.CAROLINA WHILE P-GOD WAS STILL UP TOP IN NEW YORK
SO WHILE I WAS DOWN HERE NOT DOING ANY MUSIC I STARTED WORKING WITH P-GOD NEPHEW ROBERT. ROBERT AND I STARTED OFF DOING A COUPLE OF COLLABORATIONS WITH THE BEATS, HE HAD A COUPLE OF INCOMPLETE SAMPLES AND WAS LIKE "YO MAR DO SOMETHING WITH THIS" SO I PUT MY FLAVOR TO IT AND THEN I MADE MAGIC.
NOW I DON'T DO THE SAMPLE THING ALL MY BEATS ARE FROM SCRATCH, BUT I WILL ADMIT THEM BEATS CAME OUT HOT!SO RIGHT THEN I SAID THAT I WAS GOING TO LAUNCH MY OWN PRODUCTION COMPANY. AT THE TIME I DIDN'T HAVE A NAME FOR MY COMPANY , I THOUGHT BIG CITY SOUTH AND ULTIMATELY I DECIDED THAT I NEEDED TO HAVE MY OWN IDENTITY SO THE NAME BIG CITY SOUTH WAS NOT A GO.
ONE DAY I WAS TALKING TO MY OLDER BROTHER ON THE PHONE AND WAS KICKING IT WITH HIM TALKING ABOUT HOW I WAS FORMING UP A TEAM AND I DIDN'T HAVE A NAME YET. SO HE SAID, "I THOUGHT IT WAS BIG CITY SOUTH" THEN I TOLD HIM, "NAH I WANTED TO ESTABLISH MY OWN NAME FOR MY STYLE OF BEATS." YA DIG.
LIKE I WAS SAYING THOUGH THATS WHEN MY BROTHER CINQUE A.K.A. BIG-Q BLESSED ME WITH THE NAME G-STATUS. FROM THAT DAY FORTH I SAID "I WILL CARRY THE NAME G-STATUS WELL". SO WHOEVER ROLL WITH ME WILL DO THE SAME AND I DONT'T FUCK WITH LAME NIGGAS I EXILE THEM!ANYWAY NOW I HAVE SOME CLASSIC SHIT THAT I WILL BOMB THE STREETS WITH. AS FOR NOW, "I AM G-STATUS!" ARTIST/PRODUCER/WRITER.
