You know that whenever we get together with our friend Curren$y, it’s the most hilarious conversation. So when New Orleans’ own Spitta stopped by the Upper West Side this week to promote his new album Canal Street Confidential, he burned one down, ate some snacks, and spoke his mind. We discussed the genesis of his friendship with Wiz Khalifa, going to middle school with Lil Wayne, Snoop Dogg during the No Limit days, meeting Rick Ross in the Dominican Republic, the Derek Jeter gift package, New Orleans lingo, his early plans to be an elementary school teacher, and so much more!
This week on A Waste of Time with ItsTheReal, we welcome New Orleans’ own R&B superstar August Alsina to the Upper West Side! August talks in great depth about recovering from the recent surgeries that saved his eyesight and his breathing, he discusses his friendships with Curren$y, Lil Wayne, Chris Brown and Kelly Rowland, and how exactly he writes his songs. August also speaks on his own trust issues, being the only singer on the XXL Freshman cover, whether his neighbors know what he does for a living, and what it was like to jet ski with DJ Khaled!
