We had the good fortune of connecting with Wesley Gaither and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Wesley, where are your from? We’d love to hear about how your background has played a role in who you are today?
I am from Georgia I’ve moved between Douglasville and Atlanta all my life so just growing up in walking distance from places like the Legendary Turner Field and just being at the right areas and right time growing up gave me the connections I needed today to be an independent artist and Record Label

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
Well I started making beats at 9 years old, I got my first placement locally at 13 and I got my first big placement at 15, well big in my eyes lol. I started rapping at 16-17 just trying it because me and homies my engineer Fletcher Vaughn used to tell me I looked like a rapper because of how I dressed and the sauce I had in the Stu with my Team Rocket bruddas. At 18 I put my first album out and since then I’ve worked on my craft everyday and then I got verified as an artist everywhere! It motivated to go harder

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Lil Azio’s is a lil Italian spot me and the gang hit for the food, best in the city. I also skate so I pull up to @skateplugatl to kick it n just vibe with the owner Rome 💪🏿 he shows me a lot of love on the music side

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I would like to shout out all my Team Rocket Bruddas Tony, Leek. Rome, Jake and then my twin Actions4Words, Diegoo Bossup, Dcxshy, Trapboy Quez, Preemo, RichDanFamous, My Engineer Fletcher Vaughn, Lil maxx and Lil Swiss, Ze, Surette, Kleeko, JP, Perri, Avry and Pri n dev. We’ve all came from staying at each others cribs, and just setting the foundation for our careers now. I wanna thank my mother Tawaina, for everything and my brother Laurence and Milio for always being with me
