I-20 Hops In the 'DJBooth' With Z!

Each and every one of us has, at one point or another, wished that we could escape the workaday (or school-a-day, as the case may be) world, and experience life in the fast lane, with all of the money and acclaim that stardom entails. Though many try, few manage to climb to the top of the heap and achieve this lavish lifestyle. Southern rapper I-20 is a man who got a chance to see what the world looked like from the top, performing alongside Ludacris and the rest of the Disturbing Tha Peace collective and releasing his own debut full-length, Self-Explanatory, before being dropped by Capitol Records and ending up right back where he started.

After a four-year hiatus, I-20 is back in the saddle with a new sense of perspective on the rap game. With preparations underway for the release of his sophomore album, Blood in the Water, with DTP/Koch Records this month, and a successful first single in the Rocko-sampling “Really Like Her,” the Decatur native is gearing up for his triumphant return, and is ready to show both longtime devotees and newfound fans that his initial rise and fall was merely the prologue to a career-long success story.

In an exclusive interview with DJBooth’s DJ “Z,” I-20 steps inside the booth to talk about the lessons he’s learned in his time away from the game, which female artists he Really Likes, and the feeding frenzy he’s prepared to unleash on the music industry this time around.
