Free Ambition: What is “Hog Life”? Where did that name come from?
The “HOG LIFE” name actually came when my cousin, fellow mate TB, Big Nick and myself was sitting on the front porch cooling. We were out there in the streets at that time and we came up with the name “Hustlaz of Georgia” (H.O.G).
The “HOG LIFE” is an experience and it still is. On the other hand, I have an exclusive interview not yet released. There’s a video from 1989 where my Aunt is explaining how my great grandfather beat the Hog. My grandfather headed all the way to a land that he established for his family. He settled there where he began the breeding of Hogs which became a way of life for my family fortune.

Free Ambition: What would you want people to know about Goodness for God? Is there a special message, and how were you inspired to create songs?
Andreal 'Country Fly' Mallard:
The
Goodness of God is about His Grace and His Mercy. The message is
simple” It’s because of Him that we are here”. His Goodness
just continues to carry us even when we don’t deserve it. He loves
us that much. We have to put Him first and everything else shall be
added unto us.
I was inspired when I met my Pastor Timothy J.
McBride. He is the one who reintroduce Christ back into my life.
Pastor McBride helped me to build my Faith Walk again. For a little
minute, I was out there with the lost but that’s another story.Free Ambition: How can people follow you?
