Most artists meet up during a cipher at a show, or in a club, or on a street corner. We’re in a digital age, however, so it’s no surprise to hear that Slept On Fam met under none of these conditions, but rather through the internet. Thanks to the world wide web Slept On Fam is a world wide group with Wargasms (top left) being from South Carolina, Configa (top right) in the UK, Arsenal (bottom left) hailing from New York and C-Gully (bottom right) calling Florida home. The team has one other member, Konseetid, who's from New Jersey, but hasn't been able to record much since joining the US army. Configa is the lone member of the group to have released work before this project as he was previously known as MC Unique and his second album, The King Of Linguistics, was mentioned on MTV.com alongside the 8 Mile Soundtrack and Christina Aguilera on its release date. Since he’s put down the mic he’s changed his name and now that’s he’s Configa and he’s rolling with Slept On Fam the accolades are really starting to pour in including a Group Of The Year honor at the second annual Get ’Em Magazine music awards, where Slept On Fam beat out Oscar winners Three 6 Mafia. Today I’m sitting down with three members of Slept On Fam to discuss the issues that come with being so spread out, what they’re looking to achieve with their album, Audio Crack, and why they feel Slept On Fam is the perfect name for their group.
