Big T Talks Chief Keef & Chicago Violence
Chicago native Big T came to out VladTV headquarters and sat down with our battle rap journalist Michael Hughes for an exclusive interview. Being that he is from the mean streets of Chi-Town, T was questioned about the violence he experienced growing up, and still sees in his neighborhood presently.
He was asked about how he thinks Cheif Keef could maintain his fame and remain in the spotlight without letting his street ties get the best of him. Big T reminisced on his own struggles and how he used battle rap as a way out of the everyday hood life. He thought back to times where he started out having to carry weapons to his battles for safety reasons, and how he's now rapping in front of large crowds for good money all-the-while increasing his level of fame worldwide.
