Huntsville, Alabama native Jackie Chain sat down with Members Only to talk about southern music and the release of his upcoming debut album Ain’t Slept in Weeks. The half-white, half-Korean military baby didn’t speak too much about his background, but explained how strip club culture in the South is huge in helping boost a rapper’s career.
“In the South your records break first in the strip club, then go to club deejays and the streets, then radio,” he explained. “A lot of people wanna go straight to the radio but you gotta get the strip clubs. If girls listen to your song, guys will too ’cause they gonna play what the girls like ya dig?”
His most successful single “Rollin” featuring Kid Cudi, is only one track he’s released since his signing to Universal/Motown. He plans to release his debut later on this year.
“Ain’t Slept in Weeks is almost done. We are fixing to shoot the video for a song called ‘Yea Dats Me’ featuring Yelawolf and Big K.R.I.T. produced by K.R.I.T. as well. I got some dope features like Kid Cudi, Bun B and some others that I’m keeping under wraps for now. I got tracks from everyone from Diplo, to Block Beattaz. Its gonna be a dope album.”
The album does not yet have a release date.
Who is the character ?
Thanks to Salima and HHDX for checking out my interview! Good lookin out y’all.
Oh lord! Another gimmick!
So the south is full f a bunch of tricks with no game.
Whoever made up the saying that it’s not tricking if you got it lied.
The rules of the game don’t change.
A trick is a trick.
I thought that Jackie Chan was going to put out an album. my mistake!
is that the cat from the Hangover?
Damn, Is Dave Chappelle coming up with these rappers now?
LOL, seriously, I’m trying very hard to take a nigga called Jackie Chain seriously. And I thought Hip-hop was trimming the fat. Let’s hope this meat turns out leaner than it looks.
sorry but who? he cant speak for the south thats out
WTF? They’ll give anybody a fuckin deal these days. SMH. He’s another one hit wonder and gimmick basically. K.R.I.T. and Bun b workin wit this clown for the check that’s all.
Man y’all some haters on here? Maybe listen to his music before you judge him off his looks. HATERSSSSSS. If you’re into down south rap his stuff is dope, if not than you won’t like it. So go on somewhere with your trifling asses.
