Cream.of.Beats Produced By Roxstar
Why this name?
It has to be something that's catchy.. something that people can remember. Your gonna remember the name everytime you see 'Cream of Wheats.'
Do you play live?
Only when the Dj plays my music for me.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Your gonna see a shitload of wack producers and Mc's trying to convince you their the next big thing!
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Depends. If I can make a good living and quit my job, I won't need a contract.
Band History:
1998: Bought an ASR-X and 2 turntables. The ASR completely made me hate producing, so I put my attention to the turntables, and learned how to scratch from the X-ecutioners, and skratchpiklz.
2000: This is where I really started producing. Got the MPC and listened to many different producers. I learned by myself, and with the help of God. :)

Your influences?
Real musicians. I listen to everything, from Mozart to Mega Death.
Favorite spot?
Detroit (where I live) Bedfordshire, England Queens park (where I was born) or Jamaica (where most of my family is from)
Equipment used:
Anything old, broken, or simple to use. I don't like over glorified gear that can fry eggs, toast bread, and do a bunch of stuff that I'll hardly ever take advantage of. Give me an MPC, turntable, any keyboard, and a 110 voltpower supply and I'll make something happen.
Anything else...?
This is a second job and not a hobby anymore, so I don't give away free tracks. You don't work for free, and neither do I. If you listen to some real hip-hop nowadays, you will notice more attention is put on the producer, and less on the MC (Little brother, Slum village for example). If you want beats, pay for em, or be left behind. REAL PRODUCERS DON'T NEED MC'S ANYMORE, BUT MC'S ALWAY NEED PRODUCERS. Rememba dat!
