Download OurStage Artist King Solo and Gucci Mane Collab X-Rated Now For Free!

posted in: OurStage Updates

Last year, OurStage artists were encouraged to submit up to two of their best original hip hop tracks, and compete to win a collaboration single with MC Gucci Mane in the Gucci Mane Puts You In The Spotlight Competition. OurStage artist King Solo, whose track Trying To Get Money dominated charts, won the Grand Prize. His new single X-Rated was recorded with Gucci Mane, and released on Mane’s label So Icey.

Gucci’s verse sounded as if the song belonged to him, said Solo. The track was recorded in Austin, TX with JJ from Pick Ya Poison. It took some time to get everything recorded, due to Gucci being in jail. Once he got out, it went quicker. Solo also told us things take time with some labels. The industry is not easy, it takes lots of focus. What he was most surprised about was how great Gucci’s verse was. He had a lot going on, but gave the track his hard work”that was so important to me.

When asked if he had any advice to OurStage artists, King Solo offered this: Keep your songs in rotation. Keep entering competitions, with different songs. So many doors have opened since winning competitions on OurStage, so have faith and keep working hard.

Solo”a performer, writer and producer”has shared the stage with some of hip hop’s finest including UGK, Rick Ross, Young Buck, Slim Thug, Paul Wall, Z-Ro, Trae, Pitt Bull and Devin tha Dude just to name a few. He’s also showcased at SXSW in Austin, TX. His new record, King Amongst Kings with DJ Grip, was released this month. You can grab a free download of “X-Rated” below.
