In a candid phone interview, King NTG discusses the trajectory of his music career, focusing on his early successes and subsequent challenges. He reflects on how personal pressures, including the birth of his son and the rising violence in his hometown, influenced his path. Despite initial excitement and support, the costs of pursuing a music career cued a re-evaluation of his identity as an artist. Transitioning from Nio the Gift back to King NTG, he emphasizes personal growth, mentorship, and evolving his artistry after significant life changes.
"I wanted to come back evolved, I wanted to grow," he says of his personal reassessment. "Nio tha Gift is one person, but who am I?"
"The studio time costs, beats cost, you got to print up CDs," he says. "When you find out that music and pursuing your dreams comes with a cost, you start hustling a little bit harder."
