What do you want your fans to take away from Black Mask Black Gloves?I mean, I want niggas to feel like I’m the realest nigga doing it. I’m the most underrated. I’m the most talented rapper who didn’t get his chance to shine yet. I definitely feel that. Everybody has their time. It’s definitely Lil’ Wayne’s time to shine. I feel like it’s my time also. When they listen to this they’re going to feel like why aren’t I on a larger scale. Why is he not on the same level as a Rick Ross or a Jeezy? Why is he not on that same playing field?
Why aren’t you?
I feel like people have been holding me back. I feel there's certain people around me and powers that be and people in Diplomats business that don’t respect my talent. I don’t know what it is. When you’re dealing with people you have egos and pride and they’re independent too and it’s hard for them to put you before them even if it’s going to benefit them. That’s how much the pride and the ego take over. I’m on my Malcolm X shit, man, as of right now. I had to separate myself from all parties. It’s Hell Rell the Top Gunna. I’m a free agent. Anyone that wants to holla at me with the paperwork, I have no ties with anybody. That’s what it is. I feel I can only go as far as I want myself to go. That’s what it is.
It’s all love but at the end of the day there’s no business relationship. It’s all love with Dipset but I don’t have no contracts or ties to Cam’ron or Jim. If there’s a better situation out there for me, I’m looking for it and that’s what I’m working towards. I’m about to launch my own website. I’m about to go into the digital world. At the end of the day the digital world is taking over anyway. I don’t really need anybody. The labels are going to need me in six months after I show them what I can do in the digital work. It’s all about the digital world right now, man, and I’m about to fuck the game up.
Can you reach a wider fanbase with your next album? Yeah because at the end of the day, this project solidifies me as an artist. I put out street music and I put out music for the masses all across the world that’s going through the same shit that I’m going through. Right now the economy is fucked up and it’s sad to say that when the economy is fucked up, people want to get high and listen to music and relate to somebody who’s going through what they’re going through. Unfortunately I feel this more than most motherfuckers around the world and they feel my pain. I’m still bothered by what I write in my music. It’s not like I’m sitting here with a bunch of chains and big cars and girls. I stepped out of that person. Whatever swagger I was throwing around, that’s not who I am when I’m in the booth and fortunately that person that you hear in the booth, niggas can relate to him and they can relate to that music and they can relate to that struggle, that pain. They can hear it in my voice. At the end of the day, look on YouTube. It’s a viral video and look at how many hits I got. The numbers don’t lie. Half a million hits on YouTube. That’s a lot of people. You try putting 300,000 people in a room. Are you telling me 300,000 people wanted to see what I was talking about? That’s a big following, man. So at the end of the day, the numbers ain’t lying, man. It’s a different world. I just gotta get with the program and the numbers ain’t lying, man. I gotta let them see. Are you still focused on acting today? I’m definitely focused on the acting. I’m actually trying to get with an agent now to get squared away. But as far as me doing my own production, I got Hell’s Vision so I’m putting out a lot of independent films of my own shit. You know what I mean? As far as directing and shit like that. The last time we spoke you were in the process of opening a restaurant called Rugar’s Ribshack. Is that still going to happen? Yeah, all that. Everything’s still in motion, man. Everything that I was talking about is still in motion, man. It ain’t changing. We’ve just got to figure everything out and blast off. But I couldn’t leave the streets. They needed that Black Mask Black Gloves. I can’t say I don’t have a following. The industry knows I got a following. Show me love and go to my website and look at what I’m doing and buy my music. They gotta show that love. What’s the next move for Hell Rell? My next album is definitely in the making. I’m like four or five songs deep in it already. It’s in the baby stages because I’m running around. I got a gang of songs, man. I got a gang of songs in my computer. I’m just trying to pick out the hottest that I feel that are dope for the project. So I’m taking my time with the music. Read the whole interview where he speaks on acting, his rib shack, dipset, and more HERE Damn, but I really don't blame Hell Rell or S.A.S. Now Dipset is just a name/brand and I guess Rell just felt like people weren't giving him a chance because he's in Dipset. But he did do the right move, Dipset is over.
