For almost a decade G Mash has been grinding and making a name for themselves throughout Miami. After producing for some of the biggest Miami rappers such as Trick Daddy and Trina, the rap/production duo is now going harder than ever before. So what do you guys have going on right now? Supa: Right now we got the mixape coming out called Ground Work with DJ Froggy with Coastto-Coast DJs that’s going be on the internet. We’re doing a street mixtape and we’re going to definitely hit the streets hard with that. When will it be released? Chevy Boi: It should be out at the end of next month. How long have you two been rapping? Chevy Boi: Supa and me have been doing this forever, since we was shawty’s. Since 11 or 12 years old we have been running around the projects trying to rap. How did you two meet? Chevy Boi: We stayed in the same area called Brown Sub and they use to call it Pink and Green, now it’s called The Carter. We use to be running around the projects. Are both of you originally from Miami? Supa: Yes, straight from Miami. What other artists have y’all worked with? Supa: Under Surveillance, Trick Daddy, and we’ve worked with Trina. We’re also producers, we were with Slip-N-Slide Records/One Stop Records back in our younger days. We were already in the game when we were young. We produced songs with Trick, two on his album, we were on the Drumline soundtrack. We did the song Trina and Missy had together, we worked with a lot of Miami artists. We worked with 21 GSC. We’re working with Young Breed from Triple C’s. The list can go on, especially with the buzz we got going on right here in our hometown. Everybody is fucking with us right now.

When y’all were producers coming up, were y’all under the same name G Mash? Chevy Boi: We were under Young Hustlers Production and Supa Production. Do you like rapping or producing more? Chevy Boi: I love producing, but I like rapping more. Supa produces more than me. Being in the game so long, what struggles have y’all overcome in the music business? Supa: That’s a good ass question, we blamed our position in the game on other motherfuckas without really knowing the things that we can do ourselves, as far as promoting ourselves. Now you have all types of internet sites, and we’re from the streets so wherever we go we make sure we have our CDs with us. If we’re in Carroll City, we drop it off somewhere on a corner store. That’s what we learned from the game and now it’s paying off. What are your signature styles? Supa: I can’t really pin point a style because we don’t stick to a certain style of music. We make all kinds of music, but we definitely have the southern swag, everything about us is all southern. We could be rapping fast or slow, with metaphors, we can rap some deep shit like Pac. What do you think G Mash can bring to the table that other rappers aren’t bringing? Supa: First and foremost, G Mash means “get money and stop hating” and that’s the movement. It’s not a movement that’s just meant for rap, it’s a movement that we bought to rap. Everybody fucks with us in our city, our music actually brought us respect and let people know that we ain’t hating on nobody. We’re going to do what the fuck we want to do regardless. We live by that code: “get money and stop hating.” Are you guys signed to anybody? What’s your label situation? Supa: We’re independent right now, G Mash Entertainment. We just trying to take it to the next level. We hitting the streets, doing mini tours, doing club tours, that’s what we’re doing, trying to make this movement stronger. //
