Who's watching in 2020 cuz they miss August Alsina 🥺

[@shantawilliby8861]

Me

[@karenfontenette9165]

This Brother, has stolen my entire Heart. His Spirit is real! strong! Blessed! This young mans life is Purposefully Designed. He reminds me of Tupoc! Nipsy! All these Brothers have/had a very Blessed Anointing upon their life, that this world must learn a lesson from. I truely LOVE!!! This Kings Spirit! Black men today are hiding who they really are, wearing a worldly mask to fit the part. We are all Spirit, not flesh/Blood and should understand that the physical and this world is Temporal. This Brother's life! Is a lesson for many to learn from.

[@gottahavefaith2526]

Absolutely! A crazy life makes people mature so much faster. He had to grow up so quickly

[@Kay_renaye]

I could listen to August talk all day. He's so wise and in tuned with himself and the world. He definitely forces me to stop and think and remind myself that whatever situation I'm in it could be worse and there are people who are dealing with a lot more than I am.

[@antoniaPrince]

August speaks so highly about God than those of these Christians out here... I love him too positive and real to hate on. 💯

[@D.Drayton]

He is very perceptive, forward thinking and genuine, three things that people lack nowadays. Also just a side note his skin really is flawless.

[@DigitalJada]

Had no idea he had such a genuine, pure spirit. A lot of artists try to come off this way but they aren't in actuality. I appreciate August's transparency. It's refreshing. Just as beautiful on the inside as he is on the out! Rare

[@umbrellastone8461]

I love how August is probably one of the first "celebritities" to not change himself just because he has everybody's attention & is a public figure. He keeps it so real , and like he said realness is what a lot of people lack. So thank you Aug for being you and making your fans understand

[@kikigam7113]

[@livelaughloveyazmeme8147]

He is the definition of beautiful with high frequency. I love him without knowing him. Not lust or a since of disrespect but he is the kinda of man a dumb bitch will take for granted. He has a sense of honesty and sense I can’t be the existence in his life I pray he does find happiness and someone that has high frequencies that can and will be able to love him for him.

[@deejenkins7038]

August is very humble and that is rare in a new artist,in any artist really not only that but he is an God fearing man. I just can't wait to see more of August as an individual and an artist. This man has grew humongously over three years and it makes me proud as a member of the black community to see a strong black male mentally,emotionally and intellectually.

[@J_Treaux]

I realized that Aug says a lot about eventually having a child but he doesn’t say much about marriage. I just seriously pray that he finds happiness because he deserves it. He deserves to have somebody who loves him unconditionally and rides for him. Whose with him not for what he has physically but understands him spiritually and mentally. Somebody who can pull him from the darkness and share their light with him. I would love to see him wrapped up with the right woman and soon have a child or children. It would bring tears of joy and relief to my eyes knowing he’s in good hands and waking up smiling because he has reasons to❤️❤️🙏🏾 (that and she’d make him change the black from the walls 😂👀)

[@peggy1244]

As a seasoned female, Alsina has taught me so much and given me such clarity about life in this interview. Thanks AA. much love. Blessings on Blessings to him.

[@livefromcleveland5279]

this made me cry literally when he said he's trying to figure out what makes him happy. I feel like his interviews turn my thoughts into words and its not an easy thing to say how you feel. just to have somebody else in this world being open about what he speaks on means so much to me.

[@ionlyspeaksarcasm4481]

Whenever he speaks I just cry. I'm crying right now. I cry because he's a breath of fresh air. I love when he says he doesn't do things for himself and when he says he shares himself to save others. That really touches my heart because I know that that's what a person like myself needs. When you have to grind by yourself for yourself but yet you have a heart of gold to consider others who don't consider you, you need this kind of validation just to keep pushing and keep moving.

[@jomekec8443]

I love Aug so much. I pray he finds someone who loves him unconditionally and appreciate him for the person he is. Stay strong bruh❤️

[@madeleinegeorge27]

I really wonder if people are reading into the depth of August Alsina...hmmm!!! One has to be very mature to appreciate his journey for it's one that we're all on.. but being conscious is a gift from above. At least he's recording his journey in order to help another.. that's both courageous/therapeutic and honorable for a youth man. Too often we've have seen others relying on drugs/alcohol/self abuse/failing to deal with the inner man/hoping that fame and fortune will heal the pains of life. These techniques result in untimely deaths.... Yes we've all seen too many others who have not lived to tell the tale. August has clearly seen the purpose for his life/existence and he's humbly carrying out his assignment.. his reliance is on God...which is rare these days. May God continue to bless him.

I'd have to say I thought he was just trap R&B at first, though I was still feelin' his music. "Make it Home" ft. Jeezy was bangin' all through my 🔊 🔊 🔈. He proved he's a real authentic artist. Great songwriting skillz

[@Mohamedsagna19]

one of the best RNB voices in the game no doubt!!

[@PERRYDAEZIOUH]

It simply comes to this. He wants to show you the side of the world that everyone hides. Some of us deal with depression everyday of our lives. We think we aren't pretty enough, rich enough, even successful enough. I admit it, I deal with depression daily. When you look at the world and see everyone smiling with friends and family and making money on things like social networks. You start wondering why your happiness hasn't come. This is why his song touches at your core, it shows you it's okay to be vulnerable. Somewhere, his message is healing someones soul.

The fact that he is so HUMBLE and AUTHENTIC he doesn't sugar coat or lie about anything he goes through behind closed doors. people can talk about him all they want they some haters smh His relationship with GOD is strong and he trusts him even through all the hell. i'm glad big boy made this interview more personal and real . this probably is one of the best ones ive seen. love you August keep sharing with us the truth in your music it will bring alot of people from the darkness to the light

Hi I'm here🙌😅

[@Tastie_Teena]

I’m like Big Boy...I’m so intrigued by everything that he has to say. The realness and just how wise he is to be so young give me chills at time. I’ve never been one to really focus on everything someone has to say but I don’t just hear him speak I LISTEN and pay close attention to his words because I feel what he’s saying and I know it’s REAL!! If he sat in front of me and spoke he would always have my undivided attention and not because he’s fine a hell lol but I’m just that interested in what he has to say, Despite all what he’s been through and what’s going in right now August is blessed!! God has BIG plans for him and I pray he remains his genuine authentic self no matter what! Like he said he could help a lot of people and save a lot of lives just off of his words alone!! He is so wise beyond his years!! And this heart break shit was a blessing in disguise. Being as though he sings about real life that was necessary for him to evolve (if this makes sense) he’s so REAL he needed to experience that to be able to give us the love songs that he has givin us. His music has matured so much but at the same time we still get the great turn up music like Party Til. Despite his flaws because we all have them, He’s just hands down a very interesting and amazing person. I’m old enough to be his mother and I have NEVER been so interested in what a young artist or person has to say. Again he’s amazing and my prayers go out to him. Whatever he does from this day forward there’s no doubt In my mind that it will be nothing but greatness!! 💯💯

[@angelinacole1547]

He has grown a whole lot. I remember his very first interview where he was so nervous. He stuttered a lot and he kept sayin “um” and “like”. He is very intelligent. We need more people like August. 💯❤️🙂

[@jessicablaine5594]

IF I know this man like I think I do,, he reads these comments and I want him to know how relatable he is to the real ppl out here in this world who are far and in between. He is so used to being independent he cant imagine allowing the possibility of someone having to control his heart, mind or soul.....but just know whomever feels and breathes the same air as u will be a diamond in the ruff just the same as u....xoxoxo

[@natashanicolew5240]

August is so dope and authentic. Wishing him everything good in life and his new album is straight FIRE.

[@lolaispure4296]

August is nothing like the persona he portrays in his music videos.i had to really listen to some of his deeper lyrics and watch some interviews to see what he is. he is not like a smart charismatic type like Kendrick Lamar or j.cole but he is unique in his own way.he really is genuine. when you ask him a question he truly tries to be the most honest that he can.he wants to connect with people and talk to them the deepest way he can. and that makes him something rare in the industry he is part of. very introspective. constantly questioning, vulnerable ,open... that's why I like him as a person.i really like that about him

[@spongebob03]

I've been watching Usher videos lately (live concert) and I was seeing this dude pop up over and over. Then I listened to an interview with Usher where he talked about him. What he had to say was inserting, so I decided to see what he was about. That was yesterday. Now here I am outside an all night laundry mat not caring about using up my data to watch this whole interview. This dude is very interesting. A lot of what was said in this interview spoke to me. The fact that he can keep going given his past and what's going on in his life now. He's a huge inspiration. Also, I used to want a black room for years! I settled for black blinds. Lol!

one would never guess this was the first time August was interviewed by BigBoy, by far the *best* interview I've watched of August. He was very relaxed, comfortable, so much so that he didn't stutter or become flustered due to feeling cautious about his answers. Bring him back on the show @BigBoyTV
