Hot 97’s original series 97 Seconds featured New Orleans singing sensation August Alsina in their latest installment. With all the success the 22-year-old r&b singer has gained in 2014, starting out with his breakout record I Luv This Shit, he has a lot to reflect on looking back at his journey leading up to where he is now.
Alsina makes it very clear anytime he’s asked that New Orleans has made him the man he is today. In this video, he touched on things that are important to him like vibes, peace of mind, & the company he keeps around him. We also learned that he started out at a young age recording videos for YouTube to get exposure.
Him realizing that it was a no-brainer for him to move to Atlanta was really the kickstart to his career.With nothing to lose but everything to gain, Alsina gave it his all after the big move. Sacrifices had to be made, sleep had to be lost, but it’s certainly earned him a place in music history.
