Mixtape Daily - Willie The Kid

MTV Shows

Willie the Kid took it back home to cook this one up. The A-Town transplant ventured back to Gun Rule a.k.a. Grand Rapids, Michigan, to connect with Head Debiase for The Fly. The two grew up together and wanted to revisit that essence they had when they came up, focusing on the lyrical side of things.

“He’s been the same fly dude since back then,” Debiase said of Willie. “We came up together, but I look up to him a lot ’cause he’s a real wise dude, just like his brother. With The Fly we just wanted to put out some good quality street music. That’s what we gonna go and that’s what we gonna keep doing. A lot of people know Willie from DJ Drama, but this whole tape is based on lyricism … he’s not just about party stuff and the club. That’s cool, but he’s about hip-hop.”
