He is at the base of his career building the foundation to support all of his goals. By doing that, BG Fa$t has been building the right connections and staying busy enough that people are starting to notice his talents. Right now, he is currently working on accumulating enough of his own resources to finance and produce his very own movie. Get to know BG Fa$t below!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where does your\u00a0<\/strong><strong>musical inspiration derive from? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Accomplishing goals, proving haters wrong, and my general day-to-day life I feel like I\u2019m living a movie so it\u2019s easy for me to come up with new songs. Growing up I listened to a lot of 2pac, and Eminem, then it was T.I. and Lil Wayne, I like knowing that you don\u2019t have to have a great education to be great with words and use them to advance in life.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How would you describe your style of talent? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m diverse when it comes to flow and to me, that\u2019s a true talent when you can flip your flow and still sound genuine. My style is unique.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are some of your favorite highlights\/memories that you have from being in the industry?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>My first time performing, the crowd really liked my song and I felt the energy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why is giving back to the community important when you have reached a point in your career where you are able to give back?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s important to never forget where you come from. It\u2019s been times when I was struggling and all I needed was a little push to stop me from doing something desperate. Small things can change someone\u2019s life, when I was in prison you would be amazed to find out what something as small as a pencil and paper donation could do for me.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Instagram:<\/strong> bgfast<\/p>\n<p><strong>YouTube:<\/strong>\u00a0bgfast<\/p>\n<div class=\"container-lazyload preview-lazyload container-youtube js-lazyload--not-loaded\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=gAxV1fp3CFY\" class=\"lazy-load-youtube preview-lazyload preview-youtube\" data-video-title=\"BG FA$T x Ralfy The Plug x Drakeo The Ruler - The Realest (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO shot by VOICE2HARD)\" title=\"Play video &quot;BG FA$T x Ralfy The Plug x Drakeo The Ruler - The Realest (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO shot by VOICE2HARD)&quot;\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=gAxV1fp3CFY<\/a><noscript>Video can&#8217;t be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=gAxV1fp3CFY\" title=\"BG FA$T x Ralfy The Plug x Drakeo The Ruler - The Realest (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO shot by VOICE2HARD)\">BG FA$T x Ralfy The Plug x Drakeo The Ruler &#8211; The Realest (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO shot by VOICE2HARD) (https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=gAxV1fp3CFY)<\/a><\/noscript><\/div>\n<span class=\"et_bloom_bottom_trigger\"><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Detroit\u2019s very own BG Fa$t is an independent artist who means what he says in his music.
