S.E.GA BOYS

The S.E.GA Boys have have won the 2007 Indy Rap Album Of The Year for the Southern Entertainment Awards!!!



Growing up in Waycross, Georgia, the S.E.GA Boys felt the skills of the 912 region were nice, yet they did not receive any shine. In fact, according to Big Smoove “in Ludacris’ “Area Codes,” the 912 was not even mentioned.” Frustrated, the group created an organization consisting of over 20 Waycross warriors. Hence, the SouthEast Georgia Boys or S.E.GA Boys for short. However, as Palay said it best, “everybody has ups and downs; some people had different levels of seriousness. So, we branched off.” The current quartet serves as the survivors lighting the path for Waycross, Southeast Georgia, and Northern Florida. A great musician named Duck from The Five Heartbeats once said that “you become a true artist once you experience pain.” If that is the criteria, the S.E.GA Boys’ artistry is pure as they have had their hearts broken not once, but twice. The first occurred with the record, “Dead Tight.” It generated enough buzz on neighboring WJBT-Jacksonville’s city wide call-in poll to be 1 for 10 weeks. Tragically, the song died when a label attempted to hijack the track. Broken dream number two occurred after they created a song and video celebrating the S.E.GA community named “Georgia.” Lo and behold, Star-Easy received a horrifying phone call announcing a new exclusive by Ludacris and Field Mob named “Georgia” that sounded eerily similar. There is no animosity towards the DTP Family from the S.E.GA Boys, because as Big Smoove says, “our song has a different vibe.” (Click VIDEO to hear/see the S.E.GA Boys’ “Georgia” and click DTP'S "GEORGIA" to hear DTP’s “Georgia” to decide for yourself.) Optimistically, the S.E.GA Boys have used the experiences to strengthen their resolve and continue with their quest. Star-Easy reflects, “that’s why we named our album ‘Business Bout Yourself.’ You have to treat yourself as a business if you want to be successful in this game.” To that end, the S.E.GA Boys have teamed with Earthwake Entertainment, an organization designed to help the S.E.GA Boys achieve their goal of putting Southeast Georgia on its back while taking care of family and community. Yesterday, these were merely boys. Today, the S.E.GA Boys have grown into men as they take their civic duty seriously becoming positive influences in their neighborhood. Additionally, with Annual Georgia Day during the last weekend of May, the S.E.GA Boys give the people a sense of pride and support through a weekend of activities, concerts, and 912 love with the event paid for from the S.E.GA Boys pockets. The reason why? “Friendship is better than money,” Palay simply states. Seldom do you find four separate individuals with the ability to seamlessly meld into one unit to achieve a higher goal. But, when you “stay humble and keep God first” as Big Smoove professes, they draw strength to carry the entire 912 on their back. However, with much work to do, the S.E.GA Boys boldly announce there is no mo’ play in GA.
