Gun Play Known as a standout character in Triple Cs, GunPlay may play hard, but he works hard too. Whether he’s dropping a verse with Ross, Torch, and Young Breed, or recording for his own projects, GunPlay always has something new on deck. Be on the lookout for his work on the new Triple Cs Sticks & Stones mixtape, the re-release of his SniffAHill tape, and his brand new project Cigar Fare & Hardware coming soon. What’s new with you and Triple C’s? We’ve been hittin’ up the streets with these mixtapes, shooting videos, working on solo songs, as well as the crew. We just shot the video with me, Breed, and Torch called “I Be Out Here.” We’re letting everyone know Triple Cs is still grindin’. Y’all stay keeping something new out there. You’re always releasing new songs, mixtapes, and a lot of videos. It’s like y’all don’t really take any breaks. You gotta stay hot ‘cause it’s always a muthafucka tryin’ to take yo’ spot. You gotta keep givin’ ‘em hot new material and stay in they face. That way, by the time you put the album out, it’s a lot more people have seen your face and heard your music so they more likely to buy the album. When are you dropping the new Triple C’s mixtape? Sticks & Stones will be out in February. What about your solo mixtape? After Sticks & Stones, then I’ve got my tape Cigar Fare & Hardware comin’. I’m gonna rerelease SniffAHill. We’re gonna bombard the streets.
What kind of songs are going to be on your mixtape? Is it mostly original stuff or freestyles? It’s half and half. It’s gonna be action-packed. I used the Jeezy and Rihanna “Hard” beat, I did Waka Flocka’s “O Let’s Do It,” I did “Get Wit This Pimpin” – that song that’s big in Atlanta. And I did stuff like Master P’s “How You Do Dat There,” the C Murder and BG beat, I went back a little. What about the original beats? What do you have in the works as far as that goes? I also got beats from some local producers like C-Nal Tracks. He got this one record that I’m about to go hard with called “Wild Out.” It’s me featuring Piccalo. It’s like a party vibe, somethin’ they not expecting from GunPlay. I’m getting a real good response. It’s only been out a couple days and has a couple thousand downloads. I’m about to shoot a video to that. So I hear Triple C’s is already working on the next album Color, Cut, Clarity. Yeah, we gon’ give ‘em more gangsta shit, but this time we’re gonna definitely focus on radio. We’re gonna deal with less features, we want to showcase just Triple C’s more. We want to put the focus on Torch, GunPlay, and Young Breed, and everybody already know how Ross does. We’re coming with more hooks from us. Where will you be during Super Bowl Weekend? Do you have your schedule yet? I’m gon’ be jumpin’ around, I know that. I’m gon’ be all over the place, gettin’ into so much trouble. We gonna be everywhere. What about on nights when you’re not booked somewhere? Where will you be when you have some free time? One of my homie’s cribs or Ross’ crib. Or probably at Take One. I keep it real simple. I ain’t with all the extravagantness. I like to just barbecue at my dawg’s crib in the hood or whatever, just chill. What else is going on with you? I got EveryDayGunPlay.com coming soon. By the time y’all are reading this you can login to my website. I’ma show y’all how I’m livin’. You gon’ see all my videos, all the new freestyles, download the mixtapes, do all that. I’ma have blogs on there, everythang GunPlay. // Words by Ms. Rivercity
