Khujo Goodie Unleashes New Single ‘Showtime’ via Maverick Global

on April 20, 2024 Artist Music add comment

Renowned as a cornerstone of the Atlanta Hip-Hop scene, Khujo Goodie has cemented his legacy since his emergence in 1995. As a founding member of the illustrious Goodie MoB collective, he honed his skills alongside industry giants like The Lumberjacks, OutKast, and the Dungeon Family. Now, with a renewed vigor, Khujo Goodie introduces his latest single, “Showtime,” produced by DJ Papi.

Reflecting on the inspiration behind “Showtime,” Khujo Goodie shares, “Showtime is about being ready for whatever. It’s reintroducing Khujo Goodie as a top-tier MC that transcends all generations of hip hop. Showtime motivates the listener to want to win in whatever game of life they are playing. It can also serve as an anthem for a team needing that extra push to overcome adversity.“

Initially conceived for the upcoming football season, “Showtime” underwent a transformation at the hands of DJ Papi. While the original version featured sports references, they opted for a version with broader appeal, aligning with the universal themes of perseverance and triumph.

Khujo Goodie’s artistry extends beyond mere entertainment; it embodies a profound connection to his roots. Atlanta-born and bred, he recognized his destiny within the realm of Hip Hop from an early age. Co-founding Goodie Mob alongside Big Gipp, CeeLo Green, and T-Mo in 1994, the group fearlessly tackled societal issues such as racism, discrimination, geopolitics, and gentrification, leaving an indelible mark on Hip Hop’s landscape.

Despite facing adversities, including a near-fatal car accident, Khujo Goodie persevered. He solidified his solo career with releases like “The Man Not The Dog,” which graced the Billboard Top 100 charts. The reunion of Goodie Mob for albums like “Age Against The Machine” and “Survival Kit” attests to their enduring legacy.

Looking ahead, Khujo embarks on a series of new singles, building upon recent releases and his new position as Global Ambassador of new music distribution company Maverick Global.

Q&A WITH BOZEA

How did you come up with your stage name? Tell us where you’re from and what first got you interested in the entertainment industry?

The name BOZEA came from a close friend who used to say I was a deep story teller like a prophet. I’m from Cleveland, OH. I was always excited about Rap/Hip-Hop. As a child and started writing lyrics at age 14 due to the challenges and struggles I was facing in my environment. I wanted to put my life story on paper.

Who and/or what inspires you to create?

Seeing how far rap has gone and still striving keeps me motivated as well as the fans who support me.

How would you describe your sound?

My sound is a Cleveland lyrical grimy style full of truth.

THE CREATIVE PROCESS

What is your creative process like?

I go with what my mind gives me in everyday life and what the track causes me to create afterwards.

What artist(s) would you like to collaborate with?

I’m down to collaborate with both major and independent artists who are lyrically talented and serious about their craft.

If you could open a show for any artist who would it be?

I’m going to have to think big and say Jay Z, 50 Cent, Lil Wayne, Kendrick Lamar, Drake, and J Cole.

Always believe in yourself more than anyone else.
Bozea’s best piece of advice

LETS SHIFT GEARS

What is one message you would give to your supporters?

I’m going to always drop quality material with a solid flow and thanks for keeping me wanting to continue making music

What is the most useless talent you have?

Drawing. I have to say because I used to love to draw as a child and teenager but found it useless for me.

What would you be doing right now, if you weren’t doing music?

It’s hard to imagine not making music because it is my life.

Who are some artists you admire and why?

I admired 2Pac for his diversity in topics and Biggie for his creative wordplay.

WRAPPING IT UP

If you could change anything about the industry, what would it be?

The unnecessary violence and cut throat industry professionals.
