AllHipHop caught up with Snootie Wild to discuss his new mixtape and finding balance in the music industry. Check out the interview below.

“When I came up with “Ain’t No Stopping Me” it was really to let the people know that I came from nothing. I came from out the jail cell to straight couldn’t get a job to trying to stay focused and balance out my kids and still be successful in something I believe that could take me out the situation I’m in.

“When God gave me that break and I seen that I was out this situation and then I got blessed with another hit I told the people there’s no stopping me. It was just really giving them the motivation if I can do it you can do it too.”

The Minnesota native has been in Miami working like crazy as Nikko Lafre looks to keep everything moving exactly as planned with the new release of “4AM”. Find Nikko creating yet another record that will have fans fully hype for the release of the artists highly anticipated project “Troubled Soul” slated for a release of April 22nd.

With another single type record from the artist in which he utilizes his story mode type flow Nikko discusses his late night/early morning missions.
