In this episode of Perspektives with Bank, Big Bank sits down with Atlanta artist G5ive on the East Side for a candid conversation about growth, survival, and the experiences that transformed his outlook on life. G5ive reflects on growing up across Atlanta neighborhoods, early involvement in the streets, juvenile cases, and serving nearly five years of a six-year prison sentence, where gang politics, constant anxiety, and misplaced loyalty taught him difficult lessons about trust and survival. He also opens up about the car accident that left him in a wheelchair for five to six months, explaining how being forced to slow down gave him the time to reflect, mature, and reevaluate the direction of his life.

G5ive also shares how traveling to Africa and the United Kingdom expanded his worldview, from observing different approaches to healthcare and homelessness to developing a deeper interest in spirituality, history, and the world beyond his immediate environment. He explains why he now prioritizes respect, protecting his peace, and doing “good business,” while viewing music as both an expression of love and a form of therapy. As he discusses his latest release and the next chapter of his career, G5ive reflects on learning to choose his battles, move with greater purpose, and embrace adversity as part of the journey, encouraging others to “go through the fire” rather than allow difficult experiences to define them.
