Rapper Stalley just wants be honest with his fans.
This week, the Ohio emcee and member of Rick Ross’ Maybach Music Group, released his second mixtape, Honest Cowboy. Stalley tells theGrio.com his main goal with his latest effort is to invite his fanbase more intimately into his world.
“They know I’m from Ohio,” Stalley said about his connection with his fans. [The fans] know I’m into sports, sneakers, fashion. But, you know I really want to get them deeper into my life – meet my father, my mother, my kids. I want them to feel like family.”

Stalle is a car enthusiast as well. His love for automobiles is currently on display with his most recent single “Swangin’,” which features rap legend Scarface.
“I grew up listening to Scarface,” Stalley recalled. “That’s all you would hear on the streets and in the cars. For him to jump on my track was a true honor and blessing. ”
