One day some one made that statement "Bra be booming them shoes" and some one else replied "yea that's the Boomman” and people been calling me that ever since. I guess it kind of stuck with me. did How long have you been in the business and when was this se you decide there was no turning back becau something you definitely wanted to pursue?
About 3 years strong now. I new it was no turning back when I signed K.E. on the Track. Together we changed the sound of Atlanta music. singles I see you got youtube going crazy with your ng worki it was How . Waka and featuring Roscoe Dash man? Boom for next with them and what's
It was a cool experience working with both of them. I knew both of them would be big
probably be for they new it. Kind a took advantage of the opportunity and the relationship I had with the both of them. I would have to credit a lot of my succ ess up to this point to them they def put me on the map with those features.
As an artist, what is the one thing you want listeners to or readers to know about L.A. Da Boom man?

Ashley: Where did you get your stage name
By Ashely of FPN Columbus
from?
B O S S B
Boss B: Really ain't a stage name to me, it's just Boss B. If you do anyhing by yourself you gone say you a boss and I came up with the B because I'm Black. So it's just Boss B but it stands for much more than that but we'll get to that later... How long have you been rapping? I'm a vet in the streets but... not to the world yet... I did all my music off North Star Drive (Columbus, Ga) and my first song was "That's The Way It Is"... and it means that I had to do things that people may not understand but that's the way it is... Who are some of your favorite artists? LL Cool J, Wu Tang... I love all types of flavors such as Scareface, that's what inspired me to be living the life they claim they living, and I'm living it, so it just works out... Now have you worked with
any
artist
locally in Columbus?
Oh yeah, I have worked atlanta
with Flo Jack (Ol' Black Azz Blu) Any artist you wanna work
with
future?
in
the
Yeah now I'm working with my boy Tee Muscogee and, I ain't gone lie, he's about the only hottest artist that I know that got me wanted to be motivated. Tee Muscogee, I got you baby! Do you have any music coming out soon? Well everything ain't finalized but, I got things working. I got a mixtape coming out real soon, so I'm just trying to get a little bit more exposure. And in the workings I got a co-signed mixtape with Tee Muscogee called "The Truth, The Boss, and The City" and the concept is as stated. We talking the truth, I'm the Boss, and Tee Muscogee, we he IS the city so... Any shout outs to family, friends, or artists? Big Ups to my Mama!!! 'Cause if she didn't have me, I wouldn't be talking... My kids, and just the way I'm living...
