Nodfactor.com: What’s good with you, sir? I’m told you’re on the road right now.

Drumma Boy: I’m on my way back to Altanta from Houston. Stopped in Memphis and Dallas, dudes wanted beats in each of the cities so we just on the grind. Bun had an album release party, had to holla at Slim and Tre, Paul Wall…

That sounds like fun. So where did you get the name Drumma Boy? Are you that nice with the sticks?

There’s two stories to that. I got the name from one of my homeboys who introduced me to my first job. He was the manager at Just For Feet and I had just started making beats and he had a group that was rapping. We had a convo about music the first day I was working and I said yeah, I make beats. The next day I brought a beat tape to the job and we were in the back where we do inventory with a beat box listening to ‘em. Instantly from the drum patterns I came up with he said I’mma call you drummer boy. The ironic side of that story is that that’s my ornament on the Christmas tree. My Granmother had the little drummer boy [for me]. I’m just known for those sick drum patterns. You listen to that new Rick Ross “Here I Am” single and the drums is crazy. That’s just one of my biggest passions, for those drums to be knockin. If the drums don’t hit it ain’t me.
