How long have you been making music?
I’ve been making music 10 years but been really serious with it about 5.
It was a name that was given to me. First my name was Ball Grimm but then it changed to Greezy in a good way. Niggas was like “na no more Ball Grimm, you BallGreezy” and it just stuck. Its been that from there.
Where did the word “Shone” come from?
I mean that’s just a word for a female. A shone. Its a popular word but I just took a stab at it. Its like someone asking where did the word “Dawg” come from, nobody really knows, its just there. So “shone” was always there but I used it, took a stab at it, used it the right way in a song and got a hit out of it.
So when can we expect the album to drop?
I honestly don’t know yet. You can expect the mixtape to drop soon. The album probably going to have to wait til I got a deal. My management and myself are working on a deal right now so as soon as that happens, I will give the fans a classic album.
