“Hip Hop is a medium to explain things to people,” he said. “You can say so much in one song, so I think it’s important to take a stand on shit. If you care about something, fucking talk about it. Not just popping bottles and fucking bitches. Everyone loves that of course. I mean, if that’s all we’re fucking worried about we’re going to hell in a handbasket on this planet. I know that much. Just care. Rappers need to start caring a little more. Just a little bit.“
Stalley Cracks The Top 40
After a string of retail offerings like Self Made Vol. 3 and Honest Cowboy: EP, Stalley finally released his debut album, Ohio, via Maybach Music Group last week (October 27). Ohio sold a total of 10,229 last week, enough to land the album at #35 on the Billboard 200.
Last week, Stalley spoke with HipHopDX about his debut and career up to this point.

“What I bring to Hip Hop is that hard work ethic that was instilled in my being raised in a blue-collar town and an original and great story,” he said. “My life is a great story and I feel like people can take a lot from it and be inspired by it.”
