Exposed Vocals: How did you hear about Exposed Vocals? What made you decide to sign up?

DOE BOY CUTTY: 1st before I say anything wanna say thank you to God for all he has, will and is about to bless me with. Now let's get it going. I heard about it thru my mangament team and doing some networking.

Exposed Vocals: So tell us your story. Where did you grow up? What made you decide to become an artist?

DOE BOY CUTTY: I'm from Knoxville, Tennessee Volunteer State reppin that 865 all day. I grew up in a lower income community some people call it THE DALE, a small project in the city the enviroment is pretty much the same as the rest of the projects in the world. Crips, drugs, murder, homicide and etc. I decided too start rappin in the 6th grade I always had a passion for music of all kinds and thought rappin was in my blood. I feel like I was born to do this it was a gift God blessed me with and I'm great at it.

Exposed Vocals: How did you come up with that name? What was your inspiration behind it?

DOE BOY CUTTY: I started off going by the nickname my homeboys would call BOSSSMAN CUTTY the pimp in the movie DEAD PRESIDENTS because I always had a roster full of attractive women on my team, I flipped it about 2 years ago to DOE BOY CUTTY Doe BOY meaning I'm about getting paid making money anyway you wanna say it plus I gained some weight on me over the years and I just carried over the CUTTY with it, I thought it had a clean sound when you say it.

Exposed Vocals: What do you think about online music sharing? Do you ever give your music away for free? Why?

DOE BOY CUTTY: To eaches on when it comes to online sharing depends on the situation and what i'm trying to do. I never give my music away for free I look at this as my real job and i'm up at all times of the night writing putting in work to make money not give it away. Even when it's my time to talk to these labels my publishing is a big deal to me.

ATLANTA showed me some real love. When I was walking off the stage all the DJs and other beat producers was throwing me cards and tracks to spit on. My management team must have left with 30 something tracks and busniess cards. It was crazy even got a standing ovation.

Exposed Vocals: Where do you usually gather songwriting inspiration? What is your usual songwriting process?

DOE BOY CUTTY: My songwriting inspiration comes from life experiences or issues with this world, or just me being creative to be different then the rest of the rappers out now. I'm not trying to spit about anything what these other rappers are doing i'm on something different. My process is always pray 1st to the man upstairs and give him the BIGGEST THANKS for blessing me with this talent, then it's straight me pen and pad somewhere I can listen to the track i'm writing to and zone out.
