Epik Clarifies Bow Wow And The Game Rumors

Rumors have recently been circulating that Epik, the 20-year-old Lorain, Ohio emcee signed to Aftermath producer Focus’ aFam Records label, is both suing Bay area veteran JT Tha Bigga Figga and was involved in a physical confrontation with fellow Buckeye state native Bow Wow. Yesterday, Epik spoke exclusively with HipHopDX to clear up these rumors.

Last week rumors surfaced online that Epik was suing JT for allegedly stealing a song he had originally recorded with The Game, which is now apparently being used as a single off of JT’s latest repackaging of pre-Aftermath recordings with Game entitled Born In The Bay. Epik claims that the originally hook-less untitled track first appeared on his 2005 street album, Mick Boogie Presents: Somethin Epik…Volume 1.
A hook-included revamped version of the song can be heard on his Myspace [click here to hear].
“I put it out, got a big buzz [off it],” Epik begins. “We just put it out, just leaked it. It didn’t even have a hook on it at first. Then we went back and remixed it. But the main one that went out without the hook, JT took that one and he chopped it up a little bit, threw his own hook on it, made room for his second verse and then put [my verse] on last. He’s been putting it out to like Napster and all these other sites trying to leak it as his main single, and it’s called ‘Get Ya Money Right.’ A whole bunch of people been hitting me up about it.”
