Lyrical catches up with B-Star Roy
as he preps for the new release of
‘In the Game’.This is his first release
under the ‘Big Money Records’ label,
which is run by Ice-Cube and K-Dee
who were both part of the C.I.A hip-
hop group. (The duo also manage 50
Cent who produced a track called “
Highlight Reel” for In the Game.)
Kanye called you a “Fake ass with
no meaning” because of your catch-
phrases and the way you bill yourself
as the “Fresh Kid on the Block”
What do you make of Kanye’s com-
ments?
Kayne was my idol growing up as kid,
and I have a lot of respect for him, he
was the one I always used to listen
to as kid.With no disrespect to him,
my catchphrases are a part of me
and my music, that’s what make’s me
different from the rest.At the end of
the day hater’s are going to hate.
What was it like collaborating with
50 Cent, and him producing a track
for your album?
Working with 50 was a once in a
lifetime opportunity; I learned new
things from a respected person in
the industry.All I can say about 50
producing his new track is that the
beat rocks!!! It’s like my kind of jam,
which come across in my lyrics. 50 is
a legend and he’s one hell of a guy.
You’ve talked about your rough up-
bringing, but what does it feel like to
make it to the top?
When you’re growing up in the hood
living life in the estates, seeing con-
stant knifes and guns being flashed
around like their some toys it makes
you tougher. My upbringing was
rough, my Mum always used to say to
me “You got to look after yourself
all the time, this is a scary world.” My
mother was my rock growing up and
I won’t be where I am right now if it
wasn’t for her. Making it to the top,
as you folk like to call it, was hard
work, I used to spit up my own
bars in my bedroom every night
before bed. Having come from
the unknown to working with the
likes of 50 Cent, it feels like God
has answered all my prayers. I’m
grateful for my upbringing, as my
patience has been rewarded. I’d
also like to give a special shout
out to my mentor for helping
turning me into the man I am
now.
