“GETWITIT” TALKS HIS MUSIC, LOVE, AND MUCH MORE

Butter B: welcome to 2KIB. Let me ask you off the Bat, you have a couple of names that you go by “Mr. TGDub”, “King LiK”… What would you like to be introduced as? How many names do you have

GetWitIt: I would like to be introduced as “GetWitIt” I have 4 different names

Butter B: oh wow, are these like pseudo names? like you know how Beyoncé is “Sasha fierce,… is it kinda that vibe or is it something else? 

GetWitIt: Yeah for the most part. when people think of multiple different personalities, they think of Beyoncé, YNW Melly…people like that….. there big influencers and powerful people but their not really on a positive note. They’re more worried about how they’re doing and displaying how they feel, without taking into consideration how anyone else looks at them or how anyone else is impacted by what they do.

Butter B: right, also when you said you had several different names, that’s kind of representative of several aspects of your personality… Your not just one dimensional, you have different angels and aspects that define you, what are some of those?

GetWitIt: yeah for sure, at a young age (6th  grade or younger) I really felt myself getting drawn to a spiritual aspect of life, when I look at certain situations that I’ve been in, I could feel it physically, mentally, and emotionally. Growing up I really didn’t have a stable father figure in my life. That’s the major thing that made me woke at a very young age. I never felt like I was a kid, I wasn’t able to go to the playground, see the ice cream man, believe in the tooth fairy, and Stuff like that. It was very real for me at a young age. The first time I saw my mom get abused, I was in the 3rd grade. I’m 9 years old waking up to my mom coming in the house with her face messed up by another man. Life was real for me from day 1. My mindset was “ I need to get on my priorities and get up out this situation as soon as I can. 

Butter B: I can certainly understand that. You open up in a lot of your songs. I feel like that is one of the things that is good about your music, there are so many people out there who deal with similar situations and they can play your tracks and relate to you. That is very powerful. So when did you begin Rapping? 

“he was going to commit suicide in jail and after I rapped to him, it changed his life”

GetWitIt: honestly rapping is something that just came to me. The moment I started rapping for real is when my dad called me from jail and we were talking about music. I told him I wrote a couple of lines of rap and I asked him if it would be beneficial if I rapped it to him. He was like, yeah go ahead. I rapped it to him and 2-3 years later he told me the night before I rapped it to him that he was going to commit suicide in jail and after I rapped to him, it changed his life. And that was when I was in the 6th grade.

Butter B: wow that’s really deep. You mention “never selling your soul” in a couple of your songs. What inspired that? Did you see someone sell out, or kinda sell their soul? 

GetWitIt: yeah for sure. All the artists that I look up to.. I really do my research on them. I watch their interviews and documentaries ( if they have them). To me, it seems like to a degree once you reach a certain level of fame and fortune, you have to do things that you normally wouldn’t do. You can see it. You will see people start wearing chains, start wearing Jordans when they used to wear vans. Start wearing Girly stuff and acting feminine when before they were very masculine. You can also see it with their personality and actions. I just saw a video of Blueface kicking out his mom and sister. Stuff like that is basically letting fame and fortune change you.  

Butter B: in your song Prime Time, you say “ they keep pillow talking but I ain’t even going to address it”. What do you mean by that? 

GetWitIt: So pillow talking is a slang version of someone talking behind your back. When  I used to do talent shows for the youth around the community, I had one of my friends come up to me and say “bro why don’t you cuss in any of your music”. I said it’s because when I’m writing it down and displaying myself to the world, I don’t want to display myself to the world like I’m a wild, ignorant person. I want to display it in a way that I can look back on it with my kids. Like I want to be able to show them stuff I did, like this interview and say this is who I was at this age. So it gives them something to look up to. My friend asked me that because he said he heard people saying I was unauthentic because I cuss in real life but don’t cuss in my music. That’s what I meant by pillow talking, they could have walked up to me and said that but I’m not going to address that because I don’t have time to be getting caught up in that. 

Butter B: where can we find your music

GetWitIt: My music is going to be on all platforms soon but for now you can find it on Soundcloud. my Soundcloud is Mr.TGDub (https://soundcloud.com/king_lik1). I got a YouTube channel as well

Butter B: Your “BUTTER” question is would you give up your eyes (and lose the ability to see) for someone that you’re in a relationship with?  

GetWitIt: for sure, I don’t need to see when I go to the studio. The only reason I say yeah is that I’m not that type of person that is going to play around… if I really love you then I love you. Love is an energy, just like an emotion. I don’t think you can show love.you can just fell it. Have you ever had a  conversation or a good vibe with someone and felt your heart purify? That’s love to me. When you’re in love, you have a connection, when your in love you have peace. I can’t really explain it but if I love you, you’re going to know and you’re going to feel it. If I give you any love, it’s going to be 100 percent. 

Butter B: well thank you for your time, I wish you the best of luck on your rap career. And as always, Keep it Butter! 

GetWitIt: Keep It Butter, Imma always Keep it Butter… I got you Butter
