WOS: What's Happening Z-Ro?

Z-Ro: It's all good. Another day, another dollar man.

WOS: For the people that may not know, how exactly did you hook up wit Rap-A-
Lot?

Z-Ro: I was looking for a label, and it just so happened that J-Prince was looking for a little solo artist, so he was saying, 'here it go right now.'

WOS: "Let the Truth Be Told" is the title of your new album. What's the story behind the album name? And what can fans expect on this album?

Z-Ro: It's self explanatory. I'm always going to tell the truth on my shit regardless. I ain't going to sugarcoat nothing for the public. I'ma give it to the streets. This muthafuckin' album here is some grown man shit. My shit personally is my best own man album. King of the ghetto, just to let you know. This is a South Park king of the ghetto, because this muthafucka here is full of pain, it's full of murder, it's full of light, it's full of ether. However you put it everything's a gumbo. I feel like it just a muthafuckin' pot of gumbo. You put the spoon in and you gonna come out with something. Every muthafuckin' track on there is for the consumer. I've been doing my work on my background. This album is full of me calling hoe-ass niggas out, sideways bitches out. That's me, you know I don't sugarcoat. If I got a problem I'm gonna bomb your bitch ass over 32 bars or something. I ain't gonna keep my beef to myself. My album's gonna be riding on bitches, niggas, and punks. Riding on hoe-ass hoe niggas, fake-ass ceo's, punk-ass friends. I also took all this negative shit and turned it into a positive.

WOS: Do you mind telling us about a track or two?

Z-Ro: The title track, "Let the Truth Be Told," is just how we go. I expose a whole lot of muthafuckas and I ain't gonna lie. Muthafukas are a lamb in a tigers game, so I expose a lot of that weak shit. Niggas got a pass then it's real now. It's Rap-A-Lot Mafia.

WOS: What features you got on the album?

Z-Ro: Right now I got my kin folk Trae on the album, from my group Assholes by Nature. I got Mike Dean producing. I got a bunch of songs man. I got Point Blank on some joints. I got a lot of locals on my shit. Muthafuckas I grew up with. I'm putting my homeboys on with me.

WOS: You got the single "The Mule" with Juve & Devin. How did that come about?

Z-Ro: They had a video shoot for the "Nolia Clap (Remix)." We at the video shoot kickin' it and we decided to do a song together. We was in the studio later on that night at Mike Dean's house (with) a cat by the name of Dani Kartel. He produced "Slow Motion" for Juvenile. He did the track for me, "The Mule." At first we did the "Nolia Clap (Remix)," the edited version, and after that they put the new beat on for me. We just started ridin' to that muthafucka. It's also featuring Devin the Dude, and Devin is one singing muthafucka. It was automatic for him to be on that joint, so you know, that's how that joint came about.

WOS: You was locked up when your last album was released, but the album was well received. How do you feel about the love and the growing buzz that you got from the album?

Z-Ro: It was a good feeling and a bad feeling at the same time. Of course the bad feeling was I was locked up. There were people like, "Hey man I just bought yo shit," and that was the good feeling.

WOS: Did being locked up change you as a person and an artist?

Z-Ro: Nah man that shit ain't nothing. I woke up, I went and ate. I came back, I laid on my bunk, watched TV from my bunk, and I wrote rhymes from my bunk.

WOS: You did the ABN album last year with Trae. Do you see yourself hooking back up with Trae to do another one?

Z-Ro: We in the lab right now as I talk to you. I got a beat in the background that me and Trae writing to right now. The ABN shit ain't never gonna stop. Trae my kinfolk, ya know my cousin. I love that nigga like I done loved no bitch. This ABN shits going to keep flowing. That thing flows like water.

WOS: So when do you see that dropping?

Z-Ro: I ain't gonna lie, my shits coming out in a couple of weeks. Immediately after my release, that ABN gonna touch the streets. Nobody gotta muthafuckin' shot at the title no more. It's over with!

WOS: What is happening with Guerilla Maab?

Z-Ro: I mean shit Guerilla Maab, ain't nothing that really happened. We experienced some differences. We just doing our own individual thing now.

WOS: Why exactly did you get at 50 Cent on that track "Bitch Nigga"?

Z-Ro: If a nigga disrespect you, you would diss a nigga, ya know what I'm saying right?

WOS: Right

Z-Ro: The muthafucka got on TV hollering about incriminating-ass shit. Dry snitching-ass shit, weak shit. Putting information on the muthafuckin' television man. You don't know who the fuck could be watching. Bush himself could be watching. Muthafuckin' Bin Laden, whoever the fuck. But ya know that shits crazy man.

WOS: The Z-Ro and Lil' Flip "Kings Of The South Mixtape" is coming. What can we expect from that?

Z-Ro: Some more muthafuckin' jams, man. Some more real niggas shit. Everybody on this rippin' it. ABN, C-Note, Black Capone, myself, Trae. We ain't playing no more, no more muthafuckin' games. We gonna give it to you in a minute and a half.

WOS: Why did you decide to name it "Kings Of The South Mixtape"?

Z-Ro: I call myself Z-Ro, the King of the Ghetto and Flip, ya know calls himself the Freestyle King. He a king I'm a king, the "Kings of the South."

WOS: Anytime you hear discussion about who is the best out of Texas you hear Scarface, K Rino and Bun B. But over the past year, your name has also been mentioned in that list as one of the best. How does it feel to be mentioned among legends?

Z-Ro: I love that shit It's an honor to even be considered on that list. I gotta be humble on that there. A lot of praises to God and my fan base, my aunt and my grandma, the whole Rap-A-Lot staff.

WOS: From hearing your music, it seems like your faith in God is strong. How hard is it to factor that into your music considering the rough, gangsta edge your music has?

Z-Ro: It's not hard at all. If you can recall, everywhere Jesus went, he was fuckin' with the evil people. Muthafuckin' crooks, rapists, and murderers. He was trying to change them to good. He wasn't no leader to the good muthafuckas cause they was already good.

WOS: What do you attribute your success to?

Z-Ro: Hard times man. Poverty like a muthafucka. Shit like going to high school. Ain't got no clothes, going to school in your work uniform

WOS: Is Ridgemont 4 the label still something you are developing?

Z-Ro: Nah I changed the name to King of the Ghetto Entertainment. That's on and cracking though.

WOS: Have you signed any artists yet?

Z-Ro: It's me and my kinfolk Trae right now ya heard me. The Assholes By Nature.

WOS: What other business ventures are you looking into?

Z-Ro: I'm fucking with real estate right now.

WOS: You hitting the road to promote the album?

Z-Ro: Yeah the Midwest, the west, New york, the east. I'm going everywhere to make sure muthafuckas can hear me.

WOS: I appreciate you taking time out your busy schedule to do this. Is there anything we forgot to talk about that you want to mention?

Z-Ro: Nah I'm straight.
