Grindweekly Interview with Rap Music Influencer and Entrepreneur Its64boy

It's an honor to speak with you.  Why don't you give us some details about you and your success? How did you get to where you are today?

I am Its64boy, Richmond Virginia’s Super Gold Producer & Gold artist on Spotify. I also attended Norfolk State University where I majored in Mass Communications and Minored in Music Technology. This was a great experience because I was able to build connections with people from different parts of the world. My project Traumatized Life Story EP was also charted on Apple iTunes as #16. I also own a record label, Stackin Up Entertainment and we offer major distribution through EMPIRE. At the age of 4, I watched my pops Dj on the 1’s and 2’s and I developed a passion for music at that time. My pops used to spin records from Dr. Dre, The Chronic, The Beatles, and all the way down to Rick James and Smokey Robinson. I was intrigued by the sounds and that’s how I got to where I am today.


I'm sure your success has not come easily.  What challenges have you had to overcome along the way?

The challenges that I had to overcome along the way was finding solid individuals that you can trust in this industry that will have your best interest at heart. I realized that you have to create a situation for you to become successful. People become believers based on what they see.


Speaking of success, what does the word mean to you?

  Success to me means to have a roof over my family head, life insurance policies, retirement plans, emergency savings, and a mutual fund so that my kids will have options in life when they get older.


Let's talk about the work you do. What do you specialize in and why should someone work with you over the competition?

I specialize in Music Production, Engineering, Composing, Graphic Design & Marketing and someone should work with me over the competition because whatever I say I’m going to take care of, I do it. I’m just good business all around.


What are your goals in the music industry? What's next for you?

My goals are to continue building lifelong business relationships and produce for more mainstream artists. My goal is to produce records and submit them to movies, commercials, or video games for other placements. My company, Stackin Up Entertainment will be releasing our 2nd movie sometime this year, Deceptive Directed by or Videographer, Kareem Rich Jr. I have a project coming out with my brother Bigg Wall, Address the Culture University the Beginning. I’m rocking on the beats and on the artist side, which will release on all digital platforms, February 11th, 2022
