(Q)What's going on? Introduce yourself to the people and tell them a little about yourself. 

(A) Whats good as your boy G Slicck I currently live in E.St.Louis, I've lived all over the 217, Mattoon, Champaign, Decatur. .."So S/o To the whole 217..let's make it happen"..anyway  I'm a Rapper, promoter , CEO, a booking agent, I can engineer, I do artist developement, also Host a Radio show, Every Monday Night 9-blogtalkradio/undergroundstars.com (H.U.S.H Radio) Check it out... I do it all.. I'm a hustler  true independant Artist ,I'm jus  trying create my own lane for my people and I, So we don't get stiffed by everyone else who is doing it..cuz I learned the hard way, it can be real shady game… 

(Q)Where did the name GSlicck come from?

 (A) The name GSlicck came from sitting at a prison card table and gambling...and always WINNING money ..lol.."real talk"  I just stuck with it..I spent da first 6 years of my adult life in and out of prison... (Young and dumb, I'm not proud of it)sometimes I wanna just go wit my Govermnt name because a lot of people know me, by that as well..Some people don't even know Nick Trimble is GSlicck, but they've heard of both..idk..l Youll hear one or the other if you involved wit the music scene. .Cuz Istay active….

(Q)At what point did you realize that entertainment was the way you wanted to make money?
 

I was sitting in Segregation in Statevilles receiving (NRC) 24 hours a day in a single man cell..u in there 24hrs aday in..no time out, all you get is a pencil and some paper, no envelopes or nothin..So I wrote a rap, then kept writing them,I sat in there 30days, and was sent to Menard Max joint to finish my segtime 24 hrs a day in..& 5hrs out on Wed and 1 shower a week...ugh..But i just kept writing and rapping over the gallery thru da bars for da inmates.Than I came home, Recorded a few songs and did a few shows, but I was just playing with it, cuz I was always a dboy ,Than i jus started doing a WHOLE BUNCH of Open Mics, and Competitions, aross the Midwest, and openning up for alot of Major artist, than people just started wanted to buy my music, book me for shows, Than i jus started networking wit everybody, amd building connections throughout the country with labels, A&Rs, Manager's, Club Owner's and promoters, I guess that's how I started making money ..i pretty much made myself a brand to People..You only worth what you can negotiate. ..People pretty much know to talk to me you gotta be talking money, or progression of some sort..I'm blessed I didn't start out making money, actually started out paying. .I've invested racks into my music career..

(Q)You represent HUSH entertainment, do you want to expand on that a little bit?

 Hush is my company we are a bunch of bosses chasing the same vision under 1 umbrella. .It stands for Hustle Until Something Happens. like I said we book our own shows, we book on tours, we sell our own music. We have a Crazy fanbase, which grows day by day..The Roster consist..  Cheif Dudop, aka lil Prada,Dirty Rich Boys,Sliverback Mgmt,I got a Yong 9 yr old artist Young Geezo and we are currently looking for artists everyday ..We Got H.U.S.H.Radio, We got H.U.S.H Models, H.U.S.H Street Team, H.U.S.H Clothing, HushInc.com coming soon .. Its A Movement. .It's Our Summer !!!!

I'VE Only had 1 problem wit 1 group, who I would never work with them again,


(Q)You recently made a stop to Torch Tuesday, what would you describe it people who have never been there before?  

First off I jus appreciate you all for giving independent artists a place to rock, and Showcase their craft Torch Tuesdays was dope. I definitely appreciated the crowds reception, I appreciated the introduction, The DJ did his thang... and S/O the bartender...He looked out..We are already in the talks of coming back and doing something big.

(Q)What is your opinion on 217 hip hop as a whole?

The 217 hip hop scene as a whole is okay.. it has a lot of talent ..I just think too much competition in it.. Which I don't think it should be ,I think a lot of people should just work together and try to make it as a whole. Because you dont really get any radio stations that's really support you to get your music heard in other areas, So collaborate wit artist from dat area. And also a lot of artists don't really act like they wanna know the business side of the game they just want to rap.. and this game is 10% talent 90% business and networking. 

(Q)What advice would you give to someone who thinks they want to make a career out of music?

The only advice I have is never give up, keep grinding wake up everyday trying to chase your dream...Nobody is going to give you anything. .Invest in yourself, Travel, get outside your market, do shows, and features, and keep promo material on you at all times.  Think of yourself as a brand and ..Holla at GSlicck..lol..
