August Alsina expresses his ups and downs battles in his latest “Hip-Hop” video and he recently sat down with Sways Universe to speak deeply upon this topic, among other stuff.

Alsina shares his story about how hip-hop has impacted his life and how important it is to respect the struggle of it. August says:

I’m not just talking about me, I’m talking abut my generation. I’m talking about what I see as I go through life, as I ride through the hood; this is what I see … People just trying to get enough bricks to make a house.”

He continues by saying:

In my heart of hearts … I want people to fall in love with the process. I think that a lot of times we are just so ready to get to the end of result that we don’t fall in love with the struggle; and respect the struggle … because that’s really what molds you into something beautiful.”

Much of which can be heard in August Alsina’s album Testimony.
