King Louie Speaks On Chief Keef’s Release From Prison
Get More:
King Louie, Music News
MTV spoke to King Louie while down in Austin, TX (for SXSW), who gave his support to fellow Chicagoan Chief Keef:
“I just wanna see the lil fool grow, I want the best for him,” King L about Sosa’s impending release. “You gotta understand where we come from. That little time … that don’t overweigh the positive that went on, so I just go with the positive and don’t really think about the negative.”
“At the end of the day, when you talk about him, you talk about a superstar, a star, so I don’t think they labeled him wrong,” he said. “It’s just the people that ain’t rocking with it that labeled him that (bad), so that’s my lil dude. Sosa like a year ago he wasn’t rich, bro. This man, he rich now. Ain’t nothing else like your family taken care of. So it’s like when people talk about all the music and the content you gotta think about where we come from. Like, what else we supposed to talk about?”

Machine Gun Kelly Speaks On mtvU ‘Woodie Of The Year’ Nomination
From MTV:
“Whoever’s decision that was to nominate me for Woodie of the Year,” MGK said of the distinction before leaning in to give the camera lens a big smooch. “[It’s] so cool, dude. I’m so stoked. People that believed in me, I’m gonna make it worth it. I’m gonna continue to live up to all the accolades that we’ve been receiving.”
If he wins, he’ll be following in the footsteps of another hip-hop winner, last year’s champ Mac Miller. While Mac snagged the night’s top stump, MGK didn’t go home empty handed in 2012, snatching up the Breaking Woodie hardware in what might be a precursor to this year’s results.
