Gunplay talks about his Def Jam deal..

Miami rapper Gunplay spoke at-length about his new deal with Def Jam an in interview with XXL Magazine. Revealing that negotiations took a month, Gunplay also acknowledged that there were several deals on the table.



“You know we was negotiating about a month or two, you know what I’m saying, just to get everything right. And just to get everything fair to where everybody could leave the table happy,” Gunplay explained. “Everything worked out just fine; we’re ready to move forward so it’s dry now so we’re just ready to make the best music possible. It was a few labels that was interested, but you know, I just like to—I don’t like moving around, I’m not a clique-hopper, you know what I’m saying? I like to keep it in house. So that was the move I made and I just wanted to keep it in house.”


The rapper also talked about his past drug abuse and being a recovering cocaine addict.


“It got pretty bad. It got bad. I can’t let it get to the point where I steal and sh*t…I’m back to reality,” said Gunplay. “I’m back to life. That sh*t gives you a f**ked-up attitude. It makes you snap on people you love. It’s not you, it’s the chemical imbalance that happens in your brain from snorting up that sh*t. You don’t even realize it. You think it’s the world against you. ‘Nah n***a, your brain’s about to melt.’ My mama’s a nurse. She tells me about that sh*t. She knew I got high and she would just pray that I stopped. My mind is clear. I’m thinking way clearer and I’m not thinking on impulse much. I talk about it and acknowledge it.”
