Over the past few years, Alabama duo G-Side has been steadily gaining buzz in the industry for their unqiue lyric-driven and sonically lush brand of Hip Hop. However, in a recent report from SPIN Magazine, it appears that the group has decided to call it quits.
Member ST 2 Lettaz revealed that he and partner Yung Clova have decided to put the group on indefinite hiatus. Despite this, he said that there was no big fall-out between he and Clova; rather, after nearly a decade in the business, they felt as if the inspiration behind their music had begun to taper off.
“It was time to go elsewhere creatively. We’ve been doing records since 2004. You just grow up and grow out and that’s kind of the case,” he said. “I wish there was something juicy, but it’s like, there’s no big drama behind it, man. There was no fall-out, no fight, you know what I mean? We needed a fresh start or a fresh look; it had gotten stale. Though we were still working, which is the great thing about it — that we were still working — the whole hype had died down…not saying it will never happen again, but right now, we’re just two grown men focusing on ourselves. As artists and as men.”
The group’s dissolution doesn’t mean that ST 2 Lettaz has retired from music altogther, however. He explained that he plans to go at it as a solo artist now, with his debut solo EP R.E.B.E.L. (Rethink Eevery Belief Ever Learned), due out this December on Slow Motion Soundz.

“I’m Slow Mo ’til the world blows. So, for me, the formula remains about the same: It’s still gonna be me and the Block Beattaz, that’ll be the product,” he revaled. “It will be an ST album,” he emphasizes. “It’s the real, album-album, which will drop either December or January and it’s still going to going to be Block Beattaz-produced. It will be the big event.”
