Who Is August Alsina?  Downtown: Life Under the Gun EP  August
Alsina: "I'm always in the studio, so I just have a shitload of
music. So Downtown: Life Under The Gun EP was nothing to get
done. Of course there's a few songs that are already out there
that was on the mixtape, but it was nothing to get it done. It's
real personal and sharp, sweet, simple, and to the point. It
really gives you a chance to get to know me and get a deeper
feel for me and where I come from and where I represent.  "That
name, Downtown: Life Under The Gun, came from just being
downtown, being from New Orleans, and really just being from
where you from, living your everyday life. 'Under the gun' can
mean really a ratchet to your face, because that's what's going
on down here. Niggas is robbing niggas, niggas is killing niggas
everyday. For me, it is also-I got a lot of tattoos so 'life
under the ink.' It's personal and all the shit that we deal with
on a daily basis everyday. It's touching."  Stay Connected with
