At the age of seven he was joining his father in listening to Master P

and Tupac. Now rapper Ziggy has tens of thousands online and 

beyond paying attention to him.

I first interviewed this young artist from Mississippi in late 2011, and 

he seems to be just hitting his stride. The road that led the young 

man to pursuing music may not have been what some see as the 

best, but it is a testament of what can happen when we work to 

make the most out of a bad situation. At the age of 14 Ziggy found 

himself in trouble and used writing as a way of sharing what he was 

going through and what he was feeling. This gave him confidence to 

begin recording himself and dropping his first mixtape while just in 

the eleventh grade. "I sold it for $3 and the people were loving it," 

he told me in a phone interview set up by Conversations Magazine 

assistant music editor Stanley Clark.

The rest as they say is history.
