It’s been a long journey for R&B newcomer August Alsina.

We first spoke with the “Benediction” singer back in 2012, when success was a new feeling and he was merely 19-years-old.

Since then, August has released not one, but two successful mixtapes, a hit single that sat atop Billboard for weeks, and today, his debut album Testimony is resting nicely on store shelves (but hopefully not for long).

August stopped by GlobalGrind’s offices for a candid discussion about his new album, Testimony, and its arrival being bittersweet. He also dished about his feelings toward the industry’s dark side, his biggest fears, and touring with 2 Chainz.

The “I Luv This Shit” singer also recalled a time when an encounter with a female fan turned scary, and of course, auditioning for the highly anticipated N.W.A. biopic.
