What is your artist name? |
CIG 40 |
|
Explain what your name means? |
Cig 40 came from a childhood name Cigarette, I just added the name 40 because it sounded good, especially when it’s carried on your waist. |
|
What city and state are you representing? |
Brooklyn, NY |
|
Describe your style of singing or rapping? |
A real Brooklyn sound that’s full of old principles, an updated rawness, edge and authentic feel to it. I can make music for the ladies, streets, clubs or airwaves. |
|
Who inspired you to pursue a music career? |
I’ve always been around dope rappers from my hood with ill styles, flows, rawness and just a different Brooklyn sound. But it wasn’t until my brother, an up and coming artist named pretty pistols was killed that I then wanted to carry his torch and create a legacy for our family. |
|
What challenges did you face as a youth in pursuit of your music dream? |
No challenges really because I’m just really getting started, but along the way it makes you wish you have more support along the journey when you’re struggling. People start coming after the fact when all your hard work you had to do by your self or with a certain few start to open up. |
|
Describe your feelings when you’re recording music in the studio? |
Just feels good, doing something with my life, living a dream. I feel proud from how far I came and to carry on what my brother was trying to accomplish. I get hype and feel like I have the energy of a barbarian in the booth. |
|
What is the message behind your music? |
My music is for people in the streets going through the harshniess of life and at the same time make those same time people have fun in the club by taking the problems off their minds temporarily. I can switch up, be diverse and do music that touches the heart. Actually I’m working on stuff that’s a little more personal and touchy. |
|
What do you fear the most in this business? |
Nothing! I just want people to hear and connect to what I’m trying to do. When you come from the streets, it’s nothing to really fear in the industry and I’m educated, so I got my eye’s on those bs contracts, etc. |
|
Are you excited to be featured in RNH Magazine? |
Hell Yeah. It’s a pleasure and I’m honored |
