Bohagon is a new rapper on Lil Jon’s label. The hit single “Wuz Up” is getting airplay on the radio and in the clubs. The name Bohagon comes from his uncle. “Since we acted a like, talked a like and looked a like, everybody started calling me Bohagon after my uncle,” he says.

Bohagon doesn’t mind being called a southern boy. He’s from Talbotton, Ga, which is an hour and half south of Atlanta. 

Seems like being a lyricist runs in his family. His mom wrote poetry and introduced him to the art. Bohagon admits to not being the type to do spoken word. “I used to write my poems and keep it to myself. My partners knew I wrote them.  My poetry comes across in my music.”

Bohagon is no stranger to the stage; he was on the Anger Management tour. Bohagon describes the experience as “Amazing. We did about 52 shows and there were no less than fifteen thousand people at each one.”  Besides traveling the states, he experienced a little of the outback. “We went to Australia and did a tour over there for about two to three weeks. I even saw a few kangaroos,” he jokes.

Atlanta is known for “crunk.”  Bohagon states, “Crunk music is a side of me. My music is like ghetto poetry. You can’t call it club music…can’t call it just one thing…it’s like soul music, but it’s me rapping.”

The new CD comes out this summer, just in time to give people some music to ride to.  The album was originally called Georgia Durt, but Bohagon explains, “The new album is called ‘Sundays at the Bootleggers.’ Georgia Durt was the name of my own label. So that people won’t get it confused, I decided to just let Georgia Durt be my record company and my movement.”

Besides Lil Jon, Bohagon worked with a variety of producers. ”I got a beat by Bangladesh….couple of beats by Drum Squad…I got a bunch of cats on there.”

Listeners can expect more than your average ten songs. “We’re trying to narrow the songs down. Can expect anywhere from 18 to 21 songs. I’m going to give people their money’s worth,” Bohagon says about his new CD.

Bohagon assures, “I’m not like any other artist. Bohagon got his own lane that he travels…I don’t try to slide over and get in anybody else’s lane. At the same time don’t anybody else sound like me. My album is going to be something different--a breath of fresh air for the game.”
