I enjoy working out, traveling, and doing new things. I’m a very spontaneous person so I’ll try “ALMOST” anything once.
What prompted you to pen your debut novel Allegheny Doe Boy? I felt that I had an interesting story to tell. I knew that if readers comprehend it the right way (which I’m sure they will) they’d get a valuable message from the story. I felt that I had an interesting story to tell. I knew that if readers comprehend it the right way (which I’m sure they will) they’d get a valuable message from the story.Without incriminating yourself (since we heard this book is somewhat written from experience) what character are you most like? I took some of my experiences, a lot of my feelings and personality and used them to create the main character, Ty.
So, Ty is the character that is most like me.I felt that I had an interesting story to tell. I knew that if readers comprehend it the right way (which I’m sure they will) they’d get a valuable message from the story.
You live in the City of Brotherly Love, where currently violence is increasing everyday and is quickly becoming #1 on the list for most homocides. What do you feel is the root of the problem in the inner city? And do you plan on, or are you actively helping to keep the peace in your city? Without going too in depth, I’ll just say the overall problem is money, or the lack of it. There’s a lot of opportunity in Philly however, a large percentage of the city’s population comes from generations of poverty and are unfortunately unaware of the opportunities that are available or lacks what it takes to grab those opportunities. So we often feel that we have no choice but to resort to the streets, which eventually leads to more violence. And to answer the second part of your question, I plan on doing my part in keeping the peace simply by giving back to the streets that bred me. With the start of my business endeavors I’m hiring people who would otherwise have problems finding employment. I will also attend high school Career Days each year with hopes of educating kids about entrepreneurship. As well as, help them find positive ways to pursue their dreams. In reality, all of these kids aren’t going to college, and all of them aren’t going to easily find jobs after they graduate. Then, alot of kids these days don’t feel a traditional 9-5 is for them. I’m going to let them know that there is an alternative other than selling drugs and committing illegal crimes. Hopefully, that will help in decreasing the violence that plagues Philly’s streets.
As a Black man in America, what do you feel are the strengths and weaknesses of our Black men? I feel that one of our many strengths are the fact that we’re such trend setters and have the ability to make people embrace us no matter what situation we come from. As soon as the reins were loosened on our people and we gained a little bit of exposure, the whole world fell in love with our culture. Today you see all different types of people from all walks of life trying to imitate our styles, whether it’s by the way we dress, the slang that some of us use, or the music that we create. We’ve come a long way as a people over the last 40 years. Of course that is mostly due to the sacrifices that were made by great heroes such as Malcolm X, Dr. King and many others, but on a more recent note we have used our talents in sports, music, and other art forms to help break color barriers. Now, we are accepted not only by mainstream America but internationally. It’s a wonderful thing. I feel that one of our greatest weaknesses is too many of us have self-defeating attitudes which has hindered us from progressing economically and politically at the same rate that we’ve progressed socially. Through sports, music, movies and novels we entertain the world but we have to realize that we don’t have to settle for simply entertaining the world. We can also play a bigger part in running the world. A prime example is Politics. We just have to stop thinking that certain things are out of our reach and begin to set higher standards for ourselves and start thinking outside of the box, and know that there is no limit to the things we can accomplish as long as we properly apply ourselves and stay focused on our goals.
What advice would you give a youngin’ under your wing that’s caught up like your main character Ty in you book? I would school him to every aspect of the game and make sure he has a clear understanding of everything he’s involved in and all the consequences that come along with it. I would also inform him of other options he has as an alternative to selling drugs. There’s always an alternative. You just have to love yourself enough to take it.
What’s next for G. Rell? Everything! I’m currently in the process of starting my publishing company, Green Day Publishing. I’m launching my company with the release of my newest novel, Brotherly Love. I’m also in the process of my party, concert and promotion company, Doe Boy Entertainment. Most of my events will be held in Philly, Baltimore, and Pittsburgh, PA. In 2007, you can also look for the hot G. Rell mix tapes and Doe Holder mix tapes. The mix tapes will also launch my record label Doe Holder Records and introduce my artist and myself (as a rapper) to the world. Last but not least, I’m trying to do the Hollywood thing and have every novel that I publish as well as authors under my publishing company, get turned into motion pictures starting with my debut novel, Allegheny Doe Boy, which is in stores now, and available on line at www.precioustymes.com.
