Interview with Popular American Dj: Josh Acoff Better Known as Dj Acoff

In the last interview we spoke about your musical journey and your story, tell us a little more about your hometown Bessemer, Alabama?

Bessemer is a small city outside of Birmingham, AL not many people make it out of Bessemer but it’s full of talent. The opportunities are just not there. Bessemer is lowkey a big family everyone knows everyone and we stick together for the most part.

I read that Gucci Mane is also from Bessemer, Alabama. Did the fact he grew so big in the music industry inspire you?

Gucci Mane moved out of Bessemer to Atlanta when he was young but knowing someone made it out of a similar background and situation is always inspiring. Gucci has always been one of my favorite artists and to see the things he has done is definitely motivation.

What is the state Alabama known for?

Alabama isn’t known for much except Football(American) & Food because it’s one of the poorest states we view sports as a way out so the state is always developing the top athletes especially in Football(American) The food on the other hand is the best in the United States especially the soul food. Birmingham and Bessmer, Alabama have the best wings hands down.

Speaking of food, do you have a favorite food?

I love soul food and eat it more than anything, but one thing’s for sure I can’t eat most food without hot sauce. It is my addiction, especially Tabasco Sauce. They need to give me a deal one day.

Who are some up-and-coming artists from Alabama we should be on the lookout for?

Alabama is full of talent so it’s impossible to name them all but someone them I’ve worked with and believe have an extremely bright future are TSL Fetti, Landlord Lo, TC Gambino, Lyrik, Tle Cinco, GMF Fatboy, Big Petty, ABC Young’N, Chino NetProfit, King Senior, Raw Dawg and many more. Some other artist putting on for the state are Nocap, Rylo, Flo Milli, Big Yavo, Ybn Nahmir, and Dada1k

I see you have mostly only worked with Hip Hop artists, do you plan on working with other Genres?

Yes I look forward to expanding and working with all Genres of music. R&B, Afro beats,  Reggae, Soul and alternative are all genres I plan on working with

If you were able to collaborate with 5 renowned musicians for one of your projects dead or alive who would they be?

That’s a hard question but off the top of my head id say Nate Dogg, Eazy-E, Future, Gucci Mane and for the last one id say Too Short

For our final question, what are you working on now?

I’m currently working on a couple projects one which will be called “Macaroni Music ” and I have some singles on the way featuring BNice, Tc Gambino, TSL Fetti, and a few other artists.
