The Golightly Project

Imagine a monster.  But more than just any monster. One of the most fierce and ruthless monsters, capable of becoming a threatening force to anyone in the world.  The Golightly Project has been the one of the valley’s best kept secrets for about 3 years now.  “It’s been a long ass journey bro, a wild trip, but we are here.”  says Dewayne.  After a long hiatus and their first Billboard single (Sweat it Out) they are ready to take on the world.
The group formed about 3 years ago comprised of Dewayne Golightly from Kentucky and Jay “Jiro” originally from Brownsville.  Dewayne informed us that this is actually the 3rd version of the project and is the one people have grown to know and love.
Drawing inspirations from the likes of Timbaland, Jodeci, and Pharell the duo are set to unleash a record of epic proportions showcasing not only their talent but other locals that have yet to be fully discovered such as C-Styles, Young Blood and Freestal.
We sat down for a brief Q&A with the members of the Golightly Project and this is what went down.
What are your goals as far as your performances go?
D: First things first is making sure that we have fun. Which is sometimes a lil more difficult than what is expected.  I mean, because I don’t know, we are what? A hip-hop, r&b, dance group? But we end up performing for all different kinds of crowds man which is sometimes intimidating because we know they are not expecting us.  So, yes, to answer your question, having fun.
J: Being free on stage, singing live, holdin’ the mic, and watchin’ the audiences
reaction! I LOVE IT!
If you could collab with an artist you respect, who would it be?
D: Local? Hmm… the lead singer from Methmare is sexy.  I would like to make a beat with Timbaland.  Just to vibe with the guy bro and chill man.  I would do a hook if he thought it was hott… i learned alot from listening to that guy man.
We heard you have a song that hit the BILLBOARD charts. Tell us about that.
Yea, “Sweat it Out” made it on to the rthymic charts i mean, not much higher than 200.  But I don’t think any other local hip hop artist can claim that.  They hate on us kinda bad man, I still haven’t figured out the problem.  Oh, i don’t want to do music for free. Gotcha! haha
What’s with all the BEEF?
Well, i lead you into that one huh? I don’t think its just between rappers because you know I sing dude. I remember when Future was trying to beef with us.  BUT HE IS A RAPPER!  So I put my lil bro FreeStal on a track and that ended that lol.  Then Nune tried to start something, mainly because of C-Styles…  but my dad talked us out of releasing it (you know how preachers love peace lol).  I am saying though Ramsey, even the promoters hate on us.  I am sorry, just because the other locals fiend for concerts and will pay grands. NOPE that is not us.  We put on a good show man, we have made PROFIT AT EVERY CONCERT WE HAVE PUT ON!  People pay as much to see some of our shows as these bands that tour the states.  But like I said, we have a ton of haters.  I bet you the groups don’t want some locals out shining them.  We even had a promoter tell us not to out do the main act. More than one actually.  Ugh!
When can we expect a CD to drop?
I just figured Logic out, so I am doing about a song every two days, but I am working on Young Bloods album, Raul De la Garza’s, FreeStal’s, C Styles, and ours as well.  Man, I am working on Eddie’s (El Es), and on Rayne’s too. Hopefully by the end of January.  I want to be touring by spring.
Any chance you may tour soon?
D: Well, if J wasn’t so terrified about leaving the valley man! I am somewhat ready, just want to have a good hours worth of performing and I want a bad ass touring team.  I don’t want just our style, i want to mix the genres. I want people to show up and support music.  We tried to do that at the incubator (i was actually testing out some things to see how they would go) but through all the efforts, it was unfortunate that the groups still cliqued up.  but they all want my help! Go figure.   Wait, better yet GoPRO!
J: We may drop somethin’ by this summer. Our goal is these tracks we plan to push and make sum noise with letting the people know that we are back! then hopefully we can begin a tour as long as Frank’s willing to manage it! (haha) and we will be on the top very soon.
