*Here It Is The Official G5 Interview*

Mr. G5 Himself Checks In For an in depth interview about Life after Badboy, Repping B-more, His writing process, His thoughts on Drake, The Highly anticipated Welcome to swaggsville Mixtape and much more. This is an Interview you don’t want to miss. “Welcome to Swaggsville” Ladies and gentlemen.

First off I want to thank you for taking the time to do this Interview. I know you’ve been busy as of late.

Not a problem, it's my absolute pleasure to be held in such high esteem!

So you’re no longer on Badboy. How does It Feel to Be an Independent artist again?

Well... (Sigh).... It's like startin fresh but I'm excited at the new possibilities. I'm ready to take over the world at this point!

Well you have definitely taken over the internet due to your slew of G5 mixtapes and countless freestyles. What keeps Los Motivated?

Well basically my drive comes from my city (Baltimore) it's a hustlers town. Along with my fans and my love for music, I wanna be the best!

I think I speak for myself and others when I say that you are well on your way. Now I notice you mention Baltimore a lot in your music, Has it shaped the Los we all have grown to know and love today?

In many ways yes..!! I been through some things Homie, things that would have driven most people insane by now..!!!

Now that we got the typical interview questions out the way (Laughs). Wer'e going to dig deep into the mind of Los. What is your creative Process Like?

It’s not much of a process anymore; I have pushed my own creative buttons to the max for so long now that it just comes second nature now.

I was listening to your Maybach Music and just fine remix, both are phenomenal. I notice you did this one thing were you took left and right and made several different meanings to them Where does that type of creativity come from?

If your gonna be the best you have to create new things that have never been done. So I created a lyrical style called pattern rap, as you see By taking unusual words or phrases and within a pattern not only rhyme them but each time use the word in a different context . This creates not only a genius like element but it's challenging to your own potential and displays originality.

That Is Simply amazing and I think it would be safe to say that your style is very original. So I saw on YouTube where you’re Freestyling in front of Cassidy. Didn’t you two battle some years ago?

Yeah we got it in..!!! It was intense too..!! I was pretty much declared the winner by the people present. It was dope tho, Cass is tough!

I Bet. The two of you battled and no one got it on tape? I guess its just one of those great battles that went down to never be seen. Now A Lot have people have asked me about a line you said in your “Amazing Freestyle”. You said “Cuz Lil Wayne done lost his goddamn brain and Jiggas done". Was That a Wayne and Jay Diss?

No it wasn't a diss it was reality check. Wayne and jay are both extremely talented but it's time for something new That's all, I was just makin my intro ... When I said jay is done I meant like this ain't his main focus no more and Wayne is just Wayne..!! Lol

"Welcome to Swaggsville" How did you come up with that name? And what inspired you to do the tape?

Welcome to swaggsville was actually inspired by twitter!!! I wanted to create a place that you can go to that was reserved for only the fly and positively motivated. It just snowballed into an actual project and people loved the idea so much it's now one of the biggest movements!

I read in your Bio that you’re known for your compound syllables and triple entendres. I've heard of double but triple? How can we tell when you’re using them in music?

Well just by pushing my lyrical ability beyond it's limits. Just like in self created pattern rap I will put several different meanings on One word, and manipulate the way it's used from slang terminology to the actual way it should be used .

You’ve been compared to drake a lot lately. How do you feel about the comparisons and what do you think about drake as an artist?

Drake is dope ... He's really honest and that's what draws his fans to him, along with how he targets the ladies accompanied by a hot flow. I think he's good for the game right now besides he's becoming a huge artist. So comparing us says a lot for me who hasn't even had the Amount of exposure he's gotten yet. That just shows how hard I work to stay in hip-hops top mentioned mc's.

What Other Projects do you have in the works right Now?

I have welcome to swaggsville droppin July 4th, Los vs Drake is also coming just to keep fans excited and then red light special next. A mixtape dedicated to all my female fans...!!

Who influenced you musically Coming Up?

Big, Pac, Pun, Nas, Em, Jay, and Big L

There’s a lot of new artist in the Industry now. Who are you currently listening to?

Now I listen to me all the time and I love Nikki minaj, I fucks wit drake, Andre 3000, Joe Budden is crazy dope...!!

How does it feel Being called a legend and ahead of your time? Do you at times feel overwhelmed by such comments?

No. It makes me feel good and it keeps me pushing...!!! I want the whole world say it ... I am no where near the level I am gonna reach..!!!

If you can think back, Do You Remember the first rap you ever wrote?

Yeah it's dope too!!! LOL ... Maybe I will kick it for y'all on YouTube..!!

Well Thank you Los again for taking the time to do this Interview. Is there anything you want to say to your Fans and the people out there?

Yeah. I just wanna thank everyone who supports me; I will never let y'all down. Y'all are my fuel when I feel like givin up. Thank you soooooo much for being on my side. Next stop the Grammys!
