24: What's going on it's been a while since we last talked?
Rich Boy: Yea, I'll give it to y'all, you were interviewing me when I first put out "Throw Some D's" and the album wasn't even out yet.
24: We try to get those artist that is about to be the Next Big Thing around here but did you think you would have came this far because a lot of other artist came out but are not here still?
Rich Boy: You right and I could name a few but we won't get into that. I always believed in myself but Pollow [Da Don] always had this vision man and we not done either Zone 4 is there to stay!
24: You actually shot a video for "Let's Get This Paper" with out your label funding or backing you?
Rich Boy: Pollow and me felt like this single was important and meant a lot to us so even if we had to fund it, that's what we were going to do. Kanye West does that shit every album and I respect him for that too man.
24: Tell how did it feel to be apart of the XXL Magazine cover leaders Of The New School like for you?
Rich Boy: It felt like when my album came out, it felt like all my hard work and all the shit I been through in my life I was finally getting a damn break. But the world ain't even see Rich Boy yet, but that stamp really helped. Shit, Alabama ain't never had someone on a cover before in Hip Hop.
24: Are you working on your second album as yet?
Rich Boy: I never stopped recording of course I've been on tour since but I always make it to a studio no matter where I'm at or what state. I have seen a lot of things traveling and it has opened a lot more things for me because before all I new was Alabama and then Atlanta when I met Pollow.
24: Tell me about the other side of success, More Money More Problems?
Rich Boy: With the fame you gone get the problems but I have stayed humble and busy so it's not been that bad. I get love and hate but more love then anything though.
24: Your album went gold in a time where rap album sales were at its lowest, but do you feel it should of sold more?
Rich Boy: I have to because it's my first album and I would be lying if I said I ain't want to sell 4/5 million but I think its like you said album sales are down and I think I left a mark on the game more importantly and people know Rich Boy. If you bought the album you'll know I had something to say and it was about money, cars and hoes you felt my pain as well as the money, cars and hoes (lol).
24: Outside of music I see you upgraded a couple of things with your jewelry game?
Rich Boy: I work hard so you know, I got to show Alabama that we made it and if I can they can.
24: Is there someone you did not have on your last album that you want to work with on this album?
Rich Boy: This album is going to show a lot of sides to Rich Boy and I will place who ever fit the album best but Jim Jones and Weezy, I can keep going too.
24: I appreciate you letting me get this interview; I'm surprised you still got the same number (Lol), what should the readers look forward to from you and Zone 4?
Rich Boy: Just good music man, Pollow always working on new projects and I'm working on the second album, I-15 coming soon, Keri coming soon on Timbaland label. Zone 4 is here to say, DBS 4 Life!
