DX: So Hip Hop is changing your life right now.
Alfamega: Changed my life? Changed my address. Changed the school my children go to. It changed the way I look at everything. It introduced me to people from all walks of life that I never would have met doing negative stuff.

DX: Speaking of negativity, a lot of people got the Shawty Lo and T.I. situation all twisted. Why do you think Hip Hop loves a good feud?
Alfamega: Because life is a competition and it keeps the pulse of Hip Hop beating. It shows respects for its original beginnings.

DX: How much fun did you have shooting the video for “Uh’huh”?
Alfamega: It was hot! We filmed it in Atlanta. It was 104 degrees each day. I think I lost like 10 pounds. It was so fun because I took it back to the hood. I told them I was coming back. They couldn’t believe it. No lie, I had some people told me, “You like Jesus around here.” I said stop talking blasphemy. They told me, “I didn’t get it.” They never thought I would be the one.

DX: How did that make you feel?
Alfamega: It made me feel good that I know I brought a smile to their face. I gave them hope. I let them know that they can do it.

DX: Outside of being an artist, you are also a man who gives back to his community. What kinds of projects do you have going on?
Alfamega: I do cookouts. I’ve paid rent. I go in the community and pay for haircuts. I put people on my street team. I don’t do it for the recognition. You ain’t gonna read about it a lot when I do it. Some people do it for the recognition. I don’t. As long as the hood knows I did it, I’m cool.

DX: If you weren’t an emcee, what would you be doing?
Alfamega: From what I know now what about music, with the business, I’d be managing somebody that was an emcee.

DX: What did you want to be before you got into the business?
Alfamega: I can’t tell you that. We got to be politically correct.
