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

Hi Whole, what led you to pursuing a creative path professionally?
I became a artist because of how it made me feel. It was a great way to release stress and express myself as a black person in Baltimore. It was also a great outlet throughout different situations and relationships. Life can be like Tv sometimes and Every great movie has a sound track .

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
What sets me apart from others is that I ride my own wave. I don’t follow the crowds, I’m Wholelivenigga! I’m most proud of staying true to myself in this bandwagon era & making things happen no matter what. It hasn’t always been an easy ride. I can honestly say I’ve put my blood, sweat, & tears into this. But, I wouldn’t change my journey at all. It made me who I am, it’s a part of my story, it made Wholelivenigga!

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I’m in Atlanta, we’d be everywhere! I mean, what isn’t around here?? From the infamous Juicy Crab to the well known Blue Flame & everything in between…there’s no telling where we’d end up!

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Big love to my city Baltimore for making me vicious in a world full of monsters.
