The memes are everywhere... entanglements is even the name of his new song with Rick Ross.the interview is trending on Google, his name high on the charts of Google Trends, and for those who don't keep up to date with everything hip hop-related a lot of people are asking, who the heck is August Alsina. I'll give you some coles notes real quickly – he lived through Hurricane Katrina, was kicked out of his mom's house, was homeless, turned to drug dealing, had a brother who was mortally wounded and his future was looking pretty bleak with the exception of some views coming in off his YouTube singing videos he posted when he was just 14.
