After recording music for several
years, Militant Military
has finally struck gold with
their radio hit “All da Way Live.”
The song has taken Souljah,
Ms. Williams, State, Militia, and
their producer J.O. from the
background to the foreground
of local Tampa music.
How did you guys come together as Militant
Military
Souljah: Everything started in Tampa. We got
people in the group everywhere, from Tampa
to New York, to the Midwest. It was officially
established in 2003. We opened up a recording
studio here and recorded music for a few years
before we decided to hit the scene. We did a
song with Tampa Tony and he hooked us up
with JMB Management. Last year we put out a
song called “In da Bikke” and we got a lil bit of
attention from that song. It didn’t have such a
big impact so we switched over to “All da Way
Live.” It’s a lot more radio friendly, a lot more
commercial. It was an easier record to break.
That’s how we were able to come this far.
As a vocalist, how important is Ms. Williams’
role within the group
Ms. Williams: My singing brings a different
vibe that allows everybody to listen the music,
because just about everybody likes singing.
As far as the R&B portion, I give us a different
tempo to slow it down from being so much
gangsta rap or club music.
