the studio, depending on what I have to do. I may have to fly out that evening. Once I do radio interviews, I may have to do some street DVDs, and then back to the radio interviews, or back to the studio. Then later on that night I might do a lil club gig.

new music. How do you feel about being able to carry the Florida torch? I’m honored to be the next up. I’m ready to show a new swag. They already know what it is. To be a part of Florida and to be the first artist out of my city, it’s a big look.

What are the plans for your album? The second single “Gutta” is coming. The album is dropping August 26th. That’s the date we have set right now. The album is titled Gutta. I got a couple of promo tours coming up. I go on the road for the first promo tour then I come back and go back again for a second tour to promote for the album.

Where are you from originally? I was in Port Lucie. That’s where my family is originally from. I moved to Broward County when I was about 5 years old. I grew up in Deerfield Beach. Broward County’s been my home for the longest.

Do you go on the road with Khaled or by yourself? Before the single hit the radio, I was on the road promoting with Khaled. I was putting out “Cash Flow” so people could get

Why did you move to Broward County? My moms and real pops were going through a little situation that led them to separate. Once they separated my moms was looking for a new start. We figured if we moved to a small city in Broward County, with two sisters and two brothers. She moved here with the intentions of making a better start.

“I use the term ‘gutter’ a lot because it represents me as a person.” familiar with me for when they hear it on the radio. The promo tour I’m going on now is a personal tour. We’re tearing up the South Coast so they can see my face. Which producers will be on the album? I got JUSTICE League, Gold Rush, The Runners, Cool & Dre. The Runners are the biggest thing in the game right now.

Ace Won’t Fold is your mixtape, right? Yeah. We dropped the mixtape a few weeks ago. It’s big in the streets. It’s a classic mixtape. It ain’t got big features on it; I just gave different looks to let them know who I really am and show ‘em what I do. That’s basically the concept for the mixtape.

At the end of the day, what do you want people to get out of your music? I want people to get a new energy. I want to bring a new swag to the game, give it a different look. Growing up in a small city, it lets people know that you can be from a nowhere city and grow up to be something major. Nobody blows up from where I’m from. No one in my city has ever made it big. I want to produce great music and hit records. What words best describe you as a person? I’m a chill type of guy. I got a couple of homies but I’m not a person that has 50,000 friends. I’m low key. I’m full of swag.

Are you leaking any of the album songs on the mixtape? Nah, I ain’t leaked no album cuts. I just leaked one track called “Collection Plate.”

Do you have any big events you’re preparing for? I’ll just pretty much be at the clubs. I may do a guest appearance at Summer Jam.

Florida is a good market for breaking
