Getmybuzzup: How did you come up with the name BROKETILFRIDAY?

BROKETILFRIDAY: It’s Something I always heard growing up when it was time to pay for things. Everybody pled they were broke till Friday, so It kinda encouraged me at a young age to go get my own.

BROKETILFRIDAY: I’ve been doing music for about a year. Never thought I would be doing music. It came out of nowhere.

Getmybuzzup: How did you get started in the first place?

BROKETILFRIDAY: So when I got out of prison, I started training for basketball because I still had my scholarship from before prison. Long story short I tore my ACL and MCL. I was at my sister’s house bored recovering. A thought came in my head after seeing a Lil Baby interview. I looked up a type beat on YouTube. And I’m here now.

Getmybuzzup: How would you describe your latest single “Florida Love”?
