We recently sat down with Chicago artist ATM Reggie for an exclusive “Off The Porch” interview! During our conversation he talked about the difference between Atlanta & Chicago, coming up on the Southside of Chicago, not dissing people in his music, explains what ATM stands for & how it started, people focusing more on money than killing when he was coming up, social media’s impact on the violence, having to choose a side in Chicago, jumping off the porch, looking up to his dad, his connection to O’Block, fans turning O’Block to a tourist attraction, being in & out of jail, getting caught with 20 pounds of weed & $60k cash, police seizing his Hellcat, giving him a $750k bond, his lawyer scamming him for $20k, moving to Champaign after getting shot, focusing on music when he came last October, explains his creative process when recording, his “First Day Out” record, his new song “Pain”, working on next project ‘I Can’t Believe Y’all Doubted Me’, challenges that come with being an independent artist, explains why he doesn’t have any advice for the kids, fatherhood, social media being a facade, and much more!
