In order to understand the concept of these imperial geniuses, one must know whom the original “12 Majestic” are. The original 12 Majestic (Majestic 12, MJ-12, Majic), was established on September 24, 1947 by a special executive order issued by President Harry Truman upon recommendation by Dr. Vannevar Bush and Secretary James Forrestal (both key members in the Mj-12 organization). This group was basically formed to secretly control the nation and eventually the world by planning and plotting certain task for illuminati and also were responsible for “covering up the cover ups”. In short, this infamous organization has and does control most, if not all of the world today, behind the scenes.During the form of Branestorm Studios, in which hours upon hours and thousands of dollars were spent, we found ourselves forming an elite group of our own, secretly, plotting and planning different strategies for controlling modern day hip hop as we now know it. “The death of the DJ (which shall remain nameless for the safety of his reputation) created a vacancy which remains unfilled due to the overpopulation of Mc’s and the lack of DJ’S”. Turnone is currently undergoing extensive training and studies to eventually fill the void of this most sought after position.
Why this name?
See: Introduction
Do you play live?
Yes, all over..
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Makes it easier to access more music.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Depends what you consider "major"? I would definitely sign to an indie label like Def Jux, but never to something like Rockafella or some ish like that... They just take away too much of your creative freedom.
Your influences?
First and foremost, EL-P (Def Jux). He's definitely an inspiration to "do your own thing." His music is just amazing. I refer to him as the Mozart of Hip Hop. Other influences are: Cannibal Ox, Pharoah Monch, Mos Def, RZA (earlier works), Public Enemy, 3rd Bass, NWA, Run DMC, Rakim, KRS, etc...
Favorite spot?
Any place you can see the Aurora.
Equipment used:
Adobe Audition, Acid Pro, Cubase, ASR-X, MPC 2000, etc...
Anything else...?
Dedicated to Laurie Tavares. RIP-2003 Love always.
