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

Hi Gwali, how has your background shaped the person you are today?
Born from Detroit, Michigan by Nigerian parents, the music culture has always been a inspiration to us. From our parents collecting CDs from a wide variety of artists to performing in talent shows, the love for music has been planted in us throughout our entire childhood. Fast forward to 2011, due to the after effects of the tough recessions years, our parents moved to Atlanta, Georgia. This move also heavily influenced, impacted and shaped the way our music is created.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
We believe that our music catalog is one of, if not the most unique/creative catalogs streaming, based off the current state of Hip Hop. What sets us apart from other artists is the pride we take for originality and quality over quantity. With a large variation of thoughts and ideas put into our music, the sense of uncertainty is one of the favorite characteristics fans love about our music. We still have a long way to go as far as meeting our expectations, but platforms like this is what give us motivation to keep going!

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
We love the city of Atlanta with a passion! We’ve embraced this city’s culture in a multitude of ways, but as far as some dope visitation spots: Lenox mall, Fellini’s Pizza, Starlight Drive-In, Six Flags Over Georgia, The Vortex, Botanical Garden, and Krab Queenz ATL is only a small sample size some of our favorite spots in the city!
