Exclusive interview with Chickenboi on The Hype 87.3

Chickenboi’s story is one of resilience, loss, and determination, rooted in his upbringing in Jacksonville, Florida. Starting out in a group with his cousins as the Dirty Boyz, his journey took a life-altering turn after the loss of his cousin Fatboy, pushing him to channel his pain into music that would later gain statewide attention. From experiencing homelessness to eventually getting signed to Natalac Records and connecting with Benzino, Chickenboi’s path reflects both the harsh realities of the streets and the power of perseverance. With records like “I Am From Florida,” he represents more than just his city—he speaks on struggle, survival, and the unique culture of Florida, while using his platform to inspire others facing similar battles to keep pushing forward.
