INTERVIEWS

Thank you for spending time with us. Please introduce yourself to our readers and tell us where you’re from.

Thank yall for having me! Im Bctheicegod aka The Frozen One from South Austin, Texas.

Tell us the origin behind your name:

Bctheicegod originated from my Olympic Gold Medalist personal trainer Charles Austin. As a former college basketball player, he told me I played with ice in my veins and began to call me Ice God as a nickname in our gym.

When I started rapping in 2019, everyone who knew me in the area began calling me Bctheicegod because my flow so cold.

How did music become your passion?

I use to make music in garage band and record with headphones for only me to listen to. It became a very therapeutic outlet for me and pushed me to overcome all the obstacles in my life before I even took it serious.

How would you describe your style of music:

I make music for everyone. My music is a very elevating service that allows the listener to tap into their greatest motivations and feel amazing. FrozeGang and I call this “FrozeMode”.

Tell us about the single your currently pushing and where it’s available:

My newest single “Drinks Up” off the upcoming mixtape “Froze Volume 2” is the party song of the year sponsored by Deep Eddy Vodka, my city’s very own liquor company. (Austin, TX) If you like to party, hang with girls and do flashy shit go check out the video on YouTube! The songs available on all streaming platforms.

Give us some insight on your upcoming mixtape:

Froze Volume 2 dropping on September 24th, is a 10 track reflection of my life. I take my fans way back to my neighborhood and embrace my Texas nature with a balance of high energy flows, hard hitting lyricism and screw influence. For exclusive merch and physical copies go visit the website FrozeEntertainment.Com/Shop

What else can we catch you doing besides music?

Besides music, I love to work out and take care of my body. Self improvement is one of my greatest values to life.

What’s next for you?

After 2 mixtapes and recently signing a distribution deal with Sony Music, I will be working on my official Debut Album.

What makes you The Industries Most Wanted?

The music industry is greatly in need of not just something new, but something original. I have my own sound and can create any genre of music without copying anybody else. My message is greater than what I create, that’s why everyone following my journey becomes the best version of themselves.

Industries Most Wanted gets in depth with multi talented artist, producer, actor James Worthy @kingjamesworthy

INTERVIEWS

What’s up James Worthy? Please introduce yourself to our readers.

Greetings! I am James Worthy from Queens, New York. I am a recording artist, producer, songwriter, actor, and business owner.

Tell us about life growing up in your city.

Growing up in New York was full of experiences. A lot cultural entertainment that I was exposed to, and lots of music in all genre’s. I got the music bug at an early age because of that alone. Once you got a taste of music that felt good you kept wanting more. Running around from record store to record store buying albums I never heard just to learn the craft.

You wear a lot of hats in the industry, how did music become your passion?

I would say it’s been a passion because I’ve always been around it early on. I’ve made many transitions in the industry just to continue being creative, and innovative which is always important to me.

Along your journey, who has been motivational for you?

There have been many people that motivated me along the way, but if I were to name a few: Michael Jackson, Q-Tip, Whodini, Kanye West.

Let our readers know everything that you have going on within the music business. 

So much going on. For starters completing my debut album, the James Worthy documentary, movie/television projects, song collaborations, and touring.

You’ve got some great music out there. Tell us about your new single Tick Tock ft Big Gipp and where we can find it.

Shoutout to my big brother Big Gipp. Tick Tock came about really about a year ago. I had the concept and idea layed down, but I didnt know where to go with it yet. I linked with Gipp last year, and began working with him which led to us collaborating on Tick Tock this year. I wanted to describe a short story of time not always being a luxury so we have to use it wisely. The song is available on all streaming platforms, and music video releases at the end of September.

What else do you enjoy doing besides creating music?

I love traveling, painting, site seeing, attending exhibits, and playing basketball.

What can we expect next from you?

Expect growth as an artist, quality music, creativity, and the James Worthy brand everywhere.
