We recently had the chance to connect with Stacie Wacie and have shared our conversation below.
Good morning Stacie , it’s such a great way to kick off the day – I think our readers will love hearing your stories, experiences and about how you think about life and work. Let’s jump right in? What’s more important to you—intelligence, energy, or integrity?
Integrity. Because without integrity, intelligence and energy can be misused — but with integrity, both are guided in the right direction and built on trust.
I think it’s super important to stay true to yourself, your morals, and your beliefs at all times. Even when no one is watching. Keep your word and stand on business.. It always pays off.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
I’m Stacie Wacie, a rap artist from Brunswick, Georgia, and my music is all about being raw, real, and unapologetic. I mix the tough, bossed-up energy of drill rap with a flirty confidence that makes my sound stand out. Everything I create comes from real life — the struggle, the pressure, and the grind — and I use my music to turn those experiences into something powerful my listeners can feel.
My latest single, “93 Octane,” is a perfect example of that energy. I’m not here to blend in — I’m here to tell my story, bring my vibe to the forefront, and carve out my own lane in hip-hop.
Thanks for sharing that. Would love to go back in time and hear about how your past might have impacted who you are today. What breaks the bonds between people—and what restores them?
What breaks bonds between people is usually lies, disloyalty, and lack of respect. Once trust is gone, it’s hard to look at someone the same way. What restores those bonds is honesty, accountability, and consistency. If someone shows me they can own their mistakes and put in the effort to rebuild, that’s when healing can really happen.
What did suffering teach you that success never could?
Suffering taught me resilience and self-awareness in a way success never could. It showed me the depth of my strength when everything felt like it was falling apart, and it revealed who I truly am when no one is watching or applauding. Success can celebrate and motivate, but suffering strips away the masks and forces growth in the rawest, most honest way.
Sure, so let’s go deeper into your values and how you think. What are the biggest lies your industry tells itself?
The biggest lies the music industry tells itself are that talent alone guarantees success, that viral trends equal longevity, and that artists’ worth is measured by numbers on a screen.
Talent isn’t enough. The Industry prioritizes profit over artistry.
Before we go, we’d love to hear your thoughts on some longer-run, legacy type questions. What is the story you hope people tell about you when you’re gone?
I hope people remember me as someone who never backed down, who stayed real no matter the odds, and who made music that spoke for the streets and the struggles people don’t always see. I want them to say I left a mark because I was fearless, honest, and unapologetically myself.
