Although I wasn’t really allowed to listen to music like Trina’s (since I was only 14), I remember ‘dubbing’ their single off of someone’s tape and reciting it in the mirror as I got ready for school. I remember vividly imitating her style by wearing black spandex, cute summer tops, and rocking the small twist with the weave ponytail to school. Obviously, I wasn’t as fabulous as she was but I began to learn the meaning of what a ‘Bad Bitch’ was. Everywhere I went that summer, all I heard was Trina’s verse being blasted throughout Belle Isle (in Detroit). It was like women had been liberated. It was like a rite of passage to be yelling Trina’s verse to the top of their lungs, no matter how disturbing her verse seemed to be to parents alike. With that one verse alone, Trina landed a record deal with Slip-N-Slide Records.

Like most that are born into impoverished neighborhoods filled with crime, poverty, and desperation itching at their finger tips, serving time is a part of life. This couldn’t be truer for Atlanta’s own ALFAMEGA. After growing up in the first housing project in the United States of America, ALFAMEGA was familiar with the justice system by nine years old. While seeing first hand that you’re born with the odds stacked against you, he also learned that if he wanted something he had to go out to get it. That’s exactly what he did, too. Even if it was something as simple as stealing a box of Twinkies, if he wanted it, he went for it.

Unfortunately, the road to riches wasn’t as glamorous as it seemed as he was forced to serve time in the penitentiary. Recently, Lexilex had the opportunity to catch up with Grand Hustle’s own ALFAMEGA to discuss how influential his jail time was for him. Here’s what he had to say:

“Who is the real Khia?” You may wonder as if all of the previous perceptions you’ve received were an illusion. However, after reading this, you’ll get to know the real Khia. You’ll get to meet the Khia who has worked extremely hard to remain both independent and successful within her own terms. You’ll meet a woman who loves music, has a passion for writing, once learned how to tap-danced, is focused on raising her children to be content with who they are, and strives to continue to pave the way for herself – that Khia which is the same Khia that through all of the business ventures, successful albums, (yes, her first album sold over 800,000 copies without a record deal) still remains to be true to herself. Regardless as to what you might have thought, your perceptions will continue to change. As I sat down to talk with the notorious Queen B, Khia shared a couple of glimpses into the real her. She discussed with Lexilex own Khia why she appears to be so angry, how the media has helped her career, and why she wishes to remain independent.

They say image is everything. However, when you’re living in Atlanta, GA, image is more than a perception; it’s a lifestyle. Unfortunately, you have people faking it until they make it; even well known celebrities. I guess it’s true what they say when they say “All that glitters is not gold”.
