Illuminati 2G

Illuminati 2G is here with Big Shane, how's it going?

Working hard homie! All work & no play at all!!

So tell the people what have you been up to since we last chopped it up?

On my mixtape grizzy! Networking & building my name in some kind of way daily.. I have my mix album "Google Me" in the works also.. along with my group project called "Drop City", shouts to CTC Ent.!

What's the status on the Whole Boot Behind Me mixtape?

That should be out mid Oct. thats gonna be a hot project.. That was gonna be the mix album, but i thought the "Google Me" title will make people really get out and research me and what im doing.

What other mixtapes can people expect to hear you on coming up or ones that you are hosting?

I dont even know where to start! haha .. I got International Grindtime hosted by me & BloodRaw dropping within 2wks.. also me and DJ Ames is working on a project. I have something in the works with DJ Kickz, DJ Junior210, DJ L-Gee, my homie Giovanni, Young Nisa, Settaman's project and im working with alot of upcoming artist out here on their grind also. My mixtape grind never stops, there's something new coming up every other week.. Just keep your eyes & ears open.

Is there any details that you can give about your upcoming album? Are you currently working on it?

Yes! I have my 1st album in the works called "Big Deals or No Deals" and im looking to drop that Mid-Jan/Feb. around that time.. But it's gonna be BIG!! Im making a movie with that haha..

What is upcoming from your record label?

Right now we have a group project called "Drop City" which features the whole CTC team : Big Body, Lil V, Settaman, Young Nisa, and we got some crazy production and features from hot artist like Drumma Drama, Hakeem Tha Dream, Lil Calil, Jason Lyric, C- Stone, Trapademic, Scotty Wu, Dirt Dig, man the list is crazy!!

What are your thoughts on your comrade, Lil Boosie getting locked up?

He's out right now.. But he did get sentenced to 2yrs, he's not in there yet though. Boosie has done alot for Louisiana and the whole south period.. So while he's gone we'll def. be out here holding him down and keeping his name & music pumping!! That just gives him more music to make & write about.

Can you tell me some good memories making the track, Cocaine Music? That song is my joint. Been bumping it on the regular since I first heard it.

Haha.. Preciate that homie! Cocaine music is crazy, alot of people love it! The streets is going dumb over it... I just had alot to get off my mind at the moment, and the homie DJ YoungStylez had sent me the record.. so when i heard it, that was the one i needed to release to! I was feeling it when i first heard the beat play, and from then i knew it was gonna be a hit! Alot of people can relate to that record, its just to real!! The title may fool alot of people into thinking its about trapping, drugs, etc.. But its just the life of Big Shane on wax!

Do you have any upcoming shows or tour dates.

Yeah, right now i have the Dope Boy Fresh promo tour in the works with Lil Cali.. and also i have the promo tour coming up for the album which will be a nationwide campaign, we need to come out to your city! Lets make it happen haha.. Im doing something in New Orleans Nov. 20 for a Culture Foundation, thats gonna be big also! Man im just out here on my grind, doing what i can.. ya feel me?
