Have You Met S. Fresh?
Currently constructing the design of his upcoming show in Atlanta on December 20, rapper, producer and CEO of So Slimm Entertainment, S. Fresh, took a time out of his schedule to better acquaint himself with TheSource.com. The Grambling State honors graduate launched his entertainment company in 2000 with the hopes of being the silent boss. However, as fate would have it, he emerged from behind the desk to behind the m-i-c.
Check out S. Fresh’s track Ask Dem **** ft. Lil Boosie (video after the jump), and read our interview with Fresh after the jump.

The Source: So how did you get started?
S. Fresh: Started out throwing parties and concerts. From there I started my own label and began producing artists on the label. I then became an artist myself and started fulfilling dreams of mine, carrying out my goals and focusing on where I was headed. I had the passion and drive most artists didn’t have, so I’m just doing my own thing now.
THE SOURCE: So where are you from originally?
SF: Shreveport, Louisiana. It’s outside of New Orleans.
THE SOURCE: Where do you currently reside?
SF: I’ve been in Dallas, Texas for 4 years but I’m rarely here. I travel a lot doing shows and networking a lot.
THE SOURCE: Do you ever hit Houston?
SF: Oh man, I love Houston! I’m out there often doing shows and networking.
THE SOURCE: So who are you influenced by? What musicians do you admire?
SF: Andre 3000, Kanye West, jay Z and Diddy
THE SOURCE: Ahhhh, the men with REAL Swagger, aye?
SF: Yea, I feel I am on their level and can compete with them. I don’t want to do music; I want to do other things.
THE SOURCE: So tell me about your album. How would you categorize it?
SF: It’s definitely Hip Hop of all types. It’s not that trap music though. It entertains you; party, feel good music. It’s also music for the ladies. Music with a message I am trying to get across.
THE SOURCE: You’re doing shows and all, have you opened up for any big name acts?
SF: I’ve opened for Plies, Rick Ross, Young Jeezy and a few other people. On December 20th, I have a show in ATL that I am the headliner of.
THE SOURCE: Oh, that’s whats up! Okay, so getting back to the album, who are some producers you’ve worked with?
SF: Drumma Boy (Young Jeezy, Rocko, Plies), who produced my first single. C Gutta (Young Dro, TI, Young Jeezy) and Pat the Producer (Young Buck). I also work with in-house producers a lot.
THE SOURCE: Anyone you want to mention or show love to in your final remarks?
SF: BJ Beats, who produced “Shawty Really Love It” and “Ask Them” which features Lil Boosie. The whole SSE Squad, Management Team and In-House Staff!
THE SOURCE: It was a pleasure!….
S Fresh’s debut album, “Heart of Da City”, is still in the production stages. In the meantime, check out his trendsetting skilled tracks located on MySpace, www.myspace.com/SFresh23.
