Mitch3600’s emergence in music redefines turning nothing into something, requiring much resolve and patience.
Enduring turbulent times by way of being impoverished can galvanize the momentum required to make a way out, even when your back is against the wall.
Mitch’s innate ability to rise above the occasion despite being subjected to life’s unwarranted turmoil contributed to his emergence as the next artist on the rise out of The Gateway City.
Aside from being the conventional rap enthusiast, Mitch has also served as a voice of opportunity for the voiceless, spearheading the role as CEO of his label PNF (Paid N Full).
With a mixtape on the way and a catalog encompassed with some noteworthy features, we had the opportunity to briefly sit down with Mitch3600 to get his story in music and discuss future endeavors.
Q: Where are you originally from?
A: St.Louis, the north side of St.Louis.
Q: What was it like growing up?
A: Shit, I take it’s the same everywhere. It’s chaos everywhere, it’s like Chicago.
Q: What inspires your creativity as an artist?
A: Listening to Jeezy man. I listen to him and took that shit to a whole another level.
The lifestyle, the music, everything.
Q: Talk to me about your single “Lenox Mall” featuring Casino
A: We both got a mutual PR. After we finally linked up, it was all love.
Dude real genuine, it was real. Casino really ten toes down, we clicked in from the gate.
It took us like 20 minutes to do the song.
I laid my verse down, he came right in behind me, no hesitation.
Casino a real nigga, shout out to the whole Freebandz too.

Q: How do you decide on who you’ll feature with for a record?
A: I really go off of that person, I gotta feel you. If I can believe in you then I can fuck with you because it’s authentic.
If it’s some fiction, some shit that don’t match up, I kind of discredit you. I’m not in it for the fame, I’m in it to tell my story.
Back to that question about what it was like growing up in St.Louis, poverty man, it’s poverty everywhere.
That’s what I meant earlier.
It wasn’t 100% good before I made it to this level, I don’t come from glitter and gold.
I hand pick my features, if I don’t fuck with you then I don’t fuck with you, I don’t care who you are.
Q: What has been one of the hardest things to grasp as an artist?
A: Mixing personal life with music life is the hardest thing ever.
I’m just now getting that under control, I’m learning along the way.
Deciding who friend and who foe, who in it for the love, who in it for the money. That shit give you mixed feelings.
It’s a lot that come with it, everything else a piece of cake.
Q: Talk to me about Paid N Full
A: Paid N Full is my label, I’m the CEO.
I made it up because my peoples would call me Mitch, I would always stay clean and keep all my money neat like Mitch in the Paid In Full movie.
My squad actually include my older cousin, my first artist Trellz3600.
We chose to put 3600 behind everything because that’s my hood, my grandma address.
I took that and put it into the label.
Q: Do you consider yourself “family-oriented”?
A: I do to a certain extent.
Blood don’t make you family, loyalty make you family to me.
My manager for example, that’s family right there. I say this because I done took a lot of losses out here.
I’d rather take em’ (losses) from my loved ones rather than someone out here on the streets.
It’s some family members I say hi and bye to and keep it moving.
It be the people closest to you that show you strange things.
Q: How would you describe your sound?
A: I’m a go-getter, I put it all on the line. I’m headfirst.
If you thought of an action figure, a hero far as these streets being spoken, that’s me.
I’m a very straight-forward person. I ain’t perfect but I’m pure.
Q: What does the remainder of 2019 have in store for Mitch3600?
A: DJ Drama finna host my mixtape, my mixtape called ‘The Realest‘.
We working on a release date right now.
I got my artist coming out right after the project release, I’m telling ya man, we about to do a lot over here.
