We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Oso Muka . We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Oso below.
Oso , thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Can you talk to us about a project that’s meant a lot to you?
The Most meaningful project I have worked on so far is my Ep. Familiar Fruit. I feel as if this project captures the side of the black culture that’s not highlighted in the music industry today. It explains how the modern things we run to for comfort or to depict success is the same tactic used against us as people years ago. The format I used for this project is basic comparison such as “they’ll do anything for them diamonds in their chains that just modern slavery”.
The reason I feel like this topic needs to be cover is due to the fact that the new generation is mislead by flowing in our foot steps. That’s why Familiar Fruit is my most meaningful project i have worked on.
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?
Oso Muka has always been the person you call when stuff go wrong. Kinda like a modern day Robin Hood, that’s where the name Block Bandit come from. This is the main reason he screams “Real Block Bandit Sh!t” every chance he get. Oso Muka is a passionate, loving, protective, turnt up, inspirational man from Campbellton Road. Which is the beat that keep Atlanta cultured. Oso Muka is the guy all the adults support and all the kids admire. The reason Oso Muka became a musical artist due to his love for music growing up and his drive for creativity.
Is there a particular goal or mission driving your creative journey?
The goal that’s driving my creative journey is my determination to leave a legacy and good example of a black man for my kids. I feel as if through generations the males in my family have not led us the right way and I plan on changing that for the better.
What’s a lesson you had to unlearn and what’s the backstory?
The lesson that I had to unlearn is that I have to fit in to be successful. The reason i say that is because over the years i learned that being like everyone else won’t get you anywhere. To be able to stand out and create your own path is what will bring you more opportunities to be successful.
