 On this episode of BSTV, Ya Boi Shad & G. Downs sat down with the legendary Gorilla Zoe. They began by discussing his origins, growing up in Griffin, Georgia, before moving to California and eventually settling in Atlanta. They then delved into his journey into hip-hop, revealing that he never aspired to be a rapper. However, fate intervened when he met Bloc Ent. Gorilla Zoe shared the story of writing the hit song “Hood Nigga,” which was initially intended for the group Boyz N Da Hood. Bloc Ent convinced him to record the track, which catapulted him to fame. Gorilla Zoe also spoke about joining Boyz N Da Hood after Jeezy’s departure. His debut album exceeded expectations, propelling him to international stardom as a rap artist. He reminisced about collaborating with other hit artists like Young Joc, Lil Wayne on “Lost,” and Rick Ross on “You Know What It Is.” The conversation then turned to Gorilla Zoe’s close relationship with legend Gucci Mane, and their early collaboration "Walk With A Waddle". He also addressed the question of Gucci Mane’s bipolar disorder. Gorilla Zoe shared his experiences working with the legendary producer Zaytoven. He then discussed his departure from Bloc Ent and the enduring cordial relationship they maintain to this day.
