Kevin Levrone: The Interview
Kevin Levrone is one of the greatest bodybuilders in history who is still making headlines, with the formation of his band and several movies in the books. Kevin has made much of his life that had been an uphill struggle for many years…He recently sat down to chat with S1 about his legendary career as well as his new endeavors:
S1: Yeah, yeah what’s going on peoples, you know who this is, this is the motherfucking man S1 Legacy Radio, Legacy Magazine, legacymag.net and listen man today I got a very special guest I got Kevin Levrone…What’s going on big dawg?
KL: I’m feeling good, you know, I’m out here in Hollywood right now just trying to do my thing just trying to make it positive…I’m feeling really good with my situation out there and what I’m doing…
S1: Alright that’s definitely what’s up, got bit by the acting bug there’s definitely nothing wrong with that…But just to make sure that everybody understands who you are and who got here with us today…That’s right Kevin Levrone professional bodybuilder…Literally one of the top five pro bodybuilders ever you know along with Flex and…Well you know the rest of the list there…But Kevin listen man, bodybuilding has definitely been an honor watching you get up on stage and do what you do best…You accomplished a lot in bodybuilding, your recently doing some acting, your also an accomplished musician…You gotta a lot of things going on…Talk to us man, how do you do so many things?

KL: Man you know like honestly man I get a lot of people, a lot of people is like I’m down today how do you make through the day? How do I continue to be happy within myself or who I am and it’s just a situation where I’m faced you know…The way I grew up man is my father died when I was 7 years old and my mother died when I got out of high school you know so for me it was like and I grew up in Meade Village in the projects back in Fort Meade…But it was like with my mother, what my mother instilled in me was always believe in yourself no matter what where your at…Whatever your going through trust in yourself…She took me to church man every Sunday you know, and I learned how to pray to God you know, just guide me in the right direction, I want to be a better man…I want to be that guy that will help people who will help individuals and that threw me into bodybuilding…Bodybuilding is an individual sport you know, I traveled around the world and did my thing and if I had to write the script man I never would have figured that life would end up the way it is today…Because where I’m at, I’m in a position to make a positive impact and I can reach out around the world man…
S1: Alright that’s definitely what’s up there is a lot of positivity there…Right before we get into your acting and music career, one last thing I want to touch on that revolves around bodybuilding real quick is again your record is legendary you got 23 1st place wins, 18 2nd place’s, 15 international championships…
KL: Yo man I’m gonna give you your props for that man…Legacy Magazine man ya’ll do your homework and I appreciate that…
S1: With all your accomplishments... Competing for Mr. Olympia four times, you came in Second Place. That being the Pinnacle (of bodybuilding) & coming up short... How has that improved you as an individual...

KL: Getting that First Place doesn't mean your the wisest guy on stage. I've stood on that stage 18 times & I got Second... the guy that came in First Place... probably should not have won anyway. So what T was taking home with me was more wisdom knowing that hey”I'm better than this World System”. I knew that deep down inside in my soul, politically this world incorrect anyway, you follow what I'm sayin. Never believe that because you got second that you were'nt better or deserve to win in that situation. “Every time I got Second, I didn't get second... If that Second never would have happened to me I would have never kept going... cause I kept going to prove the system wrong, you know what? I ended up with The Best Record in Professional Body Building.
S1: That's What's Up!
KL: So God granted me something greater than just winning. My first Mr. Olympia was in 92, I came in Second Place. I had the quickest rise in Pro Bodybuilding History! God was trying to teach me something... It's not about winning, It's about the Journey.

S1: As I understand it you are also the lead singer of your own band Full Blown just kind of break that down for us homie, how did that transpire?
KL: Well you know Full Blown is a collaboration of poetry that I have written thru my life experiences and the things that I saw ever since I was 7 years old…Many things in my life have been pretty painful so I expressed that thru poetry…So for the past 20 years I never thought that I’d be in a position to create music from that poetry…My fans man they jumped on it and I love music…Anything that can express how you feel deep down inside of your soul whether it’s an interview, whether it’s music, whether it’s a film or writing some poetry or just something to express yourself is a unique ability that all of us have…So Full Blown to me was a band that I formed “Mirage” was the cd and I sold about 100,000 copies in 2 weeks…I didn’t do this for money it was just a way for me to express myself…
S1: I believe now you got 2 films under your belt got bit by the acting bug…You did “Redline” and “Backlash”, you have “I Am” coming out this year…Tell us about that how did that go down?
KL: Acting for me is straight up therapy with everything that I’ve been through in life…It’s just another way for me to be creative and express myself…Right now I’m taking my music and trying to do movie soundtracks, I’m involved with part of the writing and producing like “I Am” I produced that film…Expressing what you feel inside while your acting is just another way to be creative and I think ultimately I’ve found something that I can do and live…

S1: Any words of advice to future bodybuilders, actors, you know young bucks from the block coming up trying to do it write?
KL: First I want to thank you guys for allowing me to express myself you know, to be able to say what on my heart and whatever it is that anybody out there is going through always believe in your heart and express that…If you don’t express it and you hold it in it’s not going to do any good for yourself or anybody else so just express creativity and as long as it’s real then it’s gonna move someone…If it moves someone then its going to affect where they go and as long as it’s in a positive direction…Just believe in yourself and know that no one is better then you…
S1: That’s wassup! Kevin Levrone himself!! Again Kevin it’s been an honor and pleasure…You always got a home on Legacy give up a shout anything that you ever want to do we will put it out there…Nothing but the best…
KL: Thank you brother…
