One West Magazine sat down for an exclusive interview with Artist, Actor, Model, Host, & CEO of G-hood Music Group, TC Bradshaw. This emerging talent has all of the ingredients to achieve great success. To be an expert in this business, first you must learn to be a great apprentice and TC Bradshaw was exactly that.
Under the guidance of fellow Compton artist OG Cuicide, TC Bradshaw made his first appearance on wax featuring on the track "Go Hard or Go Home" off the acclaimed "Cuicidal Gang Compilation". "It's just great to see him take all the knowledge given to him and make it work, that makes me feel good", explains OG Cuicide. Preparing for the release of Pt. 2 of his classic mixtape B.A.N.G, the young entrepreneur is bringing new meaning to the phrase "Rise & Grind".
For those that were sleeping under rock somewhere that slept on TC Bradshaw's B.A.N.G mixtape, it's time for some backtracking. This sizzling project featured the hot single "Ryde" with Snoop Dogg prodigy Mac Lucci of "The Hustle Boyz" and was produced by Izzy. A dope video was filmed & edited by Chris Martinez showing TC Bradshaw & Mac Lucci turning up the streets while dropping hot bars on a funky Westcoast slapper. "Me & Lucci both saw each doing their thing & said hey lets make a connection", explained Bradshaw when asked how the pair came together to record. We also saw TC team-up with Dogg Pound Gangsta OG Kurupt on the heated "Bi..ch Better Have My Money" G-mix which is just one of many fiery songs that makes this a must have. "Kurupt has been down since day one and always wanted to see me take it to the next level", explained Bradshaw expounding on the involvement of the Westcoast legend on his project. TC The Livin Legend - B.A.N.G - BEING A NATURAL G mixtape was Hosted By Dj Money and can be downloaded by visiting www.ghoodfellas.com.
Recently TC Bradshaw released an impressive video/mini-movie entitled "All Gas No Brakes" filmed and edited by Eyekon Fotograpy & produced by Pitchbull Beats. Hot cameos included Lil G, Young Flow, OG Cuicide, Ghoodbee, KD, Tiny Kurupt, Young Mellerati, Bigg A & Much More. From the beginning we witness a young up and coming crew discussing the importance of sticking together to be successful. All except for a single party seemed to understand the business at hand. Concerned with having a possible disloyal member TC Bradshaw decides to let things play out before he makes a move. TC Bradshaw did his reputation a great service with this well put together short film. "Its based on a true story for real", explained Bradshaw. "You got people that are always trying to infiltrate organizations like mine". In a business where loyalty can fly out the window in a instant Bradshaw views it as an absolute necessity for success.
Wanting to follow in the footsteps of those that won before him, TC Bradshaw brought to life his clothing company G-Hood apparel. "Hip-Hop is more than just music", said Bradshaw. "It's an opportunity for artist to do so much more". "I was like why should I spend thousands of dollars on other people's clothes", Bradshaw continued to explain.
On October 22nd the wait is finally over, B.A.N.G II will be ready to hit the streets. With a smoking hot appearance by mentor OG Cuicide as well as hot features from Glasses Malone, Mac Lucci, Butch Cassidy, Kurupt, Compton Menace, Eastwood, and many more, B.A.N.G II is sure not to disappoint. A street single is already available on I-tunes entitled "Other Shit" produced by Geoh. "Yall can expect a video somewhere around October fifth" said Bradshaw when asked about a video in the works for the blistering hot single. B.A.N.G II is going to be available everywhere online & definitely in a hood near you.
