Posted by da Front Porch on Saturday, July 2, 2016 Under: Rappers

1. What's your name and where are you from? Bliggs Nex2kin. Im from 55th & Hoyne. The same block where the world watched a gentleman being shot live on Facebook in Chicago's "Back Of The Yards" neighboorhood in West Englewood this year. I still reside there.

2. How did you get in the rap game? When I was just a shorty a older lady by the name of Roxanne Shante (who is a pioneer in hip hop) heard a couple of songs I threw together for fun on the internet, she responded with "You got it!! You Know It!! Your time is coming!!" After that I decided to give it a serious shot. So much has happened since then, I can't even remember it all. I've opened up for huge stars like Beyonce & Jay Z at the Pepsi Big Jam at The United Center two years in a row, Rick Ross at the Bradley Center, Cheif Keef at Adrianas, Juicy J, 35 City Kamakazee Tour with Twista (along side Whiteboy), Rich Gang Tour at Chicago Theatre, Was nominated and performed at Chicago Music Awards 2014, Algust Alsina, Baby Bash in L.A, Lil Scrappy in Chicago, 106 n Park at the Regal (Dunn Ruff/True Enuff), Cashout, Dip Set (at north beach club Chicago), The porno awards/Exxxotica in Rosemont and many more.....

6. What was one of your high and low points of being an artist? High points, I got a lot, like the collaboration with one of my favorite artist Twista for our "Bad Than A Mutha Remix" that dominated Power 92.3 for weeks and weeks.on the air. No low points, just learning experiences, and a bunch of bogus jealous coward hatin phony fraud in the hood muthafuckas! lmaooo

8. How has the internet played a part in your music begin heard? I was in L.A. recently discussing the same thing with my cousin from Interscope records, he said "the internet equals more exsposure to a broader base". I'm converting people with my brand of "Adrenaline Infused/Turn Up music," its like pandoras box once your ears hear it there's no turning back! They are instantly a fan.

9. Any shoutouts and words of motivation? S/O to all artists and they movements from my city and abroad! Its a grind! Now as for words of motivation "Keep God First" and "Be Aware Of The Jealous"
