August learned at an early age that drugs and money could make you, or break you. With both his father and stepfather battling crack addiction, Augustโs mother moved their family to Houston, Texas in search of a fresh start. But Houston provided no happy ending. For years, a young August endured a home life plagued by drugs and violence. At just 14, he got word from New Orleans that is father, August Sr., lost his battle with drugs and alcohol.
In an attempt to escape his reality, August took to Youtube, where he posted dozens of homemade performance videos. His clips covering the likes of Musiq Soulchild and Lyfe Jennings went viral, generating millions of views in just over a month. It seemed that he was finally taking his first steps toward a bright future in music, but just a year later, reality hit home when his best friend was shot and killed in the streets of Houston. As quickly as August appeared, he vanished form Youtube, back to the real world. With tensions mounting, 16-year-old August was kicked out of his motherโs home. Alone, he returned to New Orleans. He bounced around between family and friends houses, but on some nights, only the corner store provided him shelter. Eventually, he took to the streets, selling drugs as a means of survival.
With his older brother also in the streets hustling, it wouldnโt be long before August learned that the addiction to money could be just as deadly as the addiction to drugs. Just days before Augustโs 18th birthday, his older brother was gunned down in New Orleans East, another unsolved murder in one of the nations most dangerous cities. โI never expected them [the police] to find his killerโ, August explains. โPeople die everyday in the streets of New Orleans. Unfortunately, death has become a way of life,โ but not for August. His brotherโs death became his motivation to not become a statistic, but to pursue his musical aspirations on an entirely new level.
Under the guidance of NNTME MuCo, AKA Noontime, (management/production company), August relocated to Atlanta in 2011 to begin carving his own musical path, creating music in a lane that would separate him from his R&B counterparts. His experiences in life are what shaped him, so those experiences, no matter how brutally honest, positive or negative, would serve as the focal point of his artistry. In April of 2012 August teamed up with Hoodrich/MMGโs own DJ Scream for the release of his debut mixtape, โThe Productโ, which garnered him an internet and radio buzz, and spawned the Sound Mob produced single, โSuckaโ featuring fellow New Orleans native, R&B crooner Lloyd. The anti-love track offers the opinion that โlove is for suckasโ, providing an alternative to the sappy love songs associated with todayโs R&B.
This past May, Alsina returned with his second installment of โThe Productโ series, this time teaming up with DJ Drama and his Gangsta Grillz brand. The debut single โI Luv This Shitโ finds August paired with fellow Def Jam label mate, Trinidad Jame$. The top 10 hit, produced by Knucklehead, speaks to the rebellious and, sometimes, reckless lifestyle that finds August singing words that many can relate to, โIโm way too drunk to be talking like this, Iโm way too high to be trippin like this, Iโm way too young to be livin like this, ask me why I do it Iโma put it like this... God Damn it, I luv itโ. Itโs that honest and rebellious tone that caught the ear of Cash Money CEO/Rich Gang boss, Birdman, who jumped on the remix to stamp the fellow New Orleans native.
With his buzz building, Augustโs next stamp would come from media giant MTV, as he was named one of 2013โs Fab 5, their annual list of hip-hop artist to watch. Exposure on the network helped to make his independent video โDowntownโ ft. Kidd Kidd, a viral hit, generating nearly 1 million views in less than 2 months. The autobiographical song/visual would become the title track for Alsinaโs first official NNTME/Radio Killa/Def Jam release, an 8-song EP titled, โDowntown: Life Under the Gunโ, which offers collaborations between Alsina and the previously mentioned Jame$ & Kidd Kidd, along with NOLA veteran Curren$y, and Atlanta newcomer Rich Homie Quan. Of the EP, Alsina says, โIt allows you to walk through my hood with me and see where Iโm from. Donโt get it confused, this isnโt my album, just a few songs to let people know what Iโm about and why I do thisโ.
While just 21 years old, and already a lifetime of experiences behind him, August Alsina is living proof that your past doesnโt have to dictate your future, and that lifeโs hardships can be the motivation required for success.

I'm nothing like that other guy
Ima put yo ass to bed, just call me a lullaby

Girl I'll be your quarterback, receive it
Go deep, baby work them lips no time to speak
When I lay back, shawty don't know how to act
She ready when the lights go off she climb on top
No handle bars or falling off, cause cause
