Why this name?
I've been NorthStar since I started rhymin back in 94, and now I'm royalty here in JAX...hense the title of Lord...I'm reinin over all these lesser rappers.
Do you play live?
Hell I perform, when and where ever possible. Of course i like it, I'm an M.C., and every moment on stage is special for me. There's nothing like feeling the energy from the crowd. My most special moment was at my crew's first show, and we jumped off stage after our performance and the whole place followed us out the building chanting our name, I felt like a God. Thats when i first new that Hip Hop is what I need to do with my life. Big up to the Underground scene in Jacksonville to....the shows that this city puts on are almost always flawless.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It gives a chance to be heard before getting signed.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yup
Band History:
My crews story is too long to type in this box, you'll get a piece of our story in each song, so keep listening.
Your influences?
I grew up listening to alot of diffrent musc, my father owned a jazz club in the bronx...so at an early age, i was exposed to music...hip hop was big for my older brothers...they exposed me to all of what was going on in HipHop's early years. NY in the early 80's was this shit...thats when all of the fads and trends that HipHop made famous started.
Favorite spot?
Where ever i lay my head, because where ever i go, i find something to inspire me to write..but if I have to pick a favorite, it would be my home town, Brooklyn NY. Jacksonville FL comes in Second
Equipment used:
We do all of our beats our selves. My personal favorite production equipment is my trusty MPC 2000XL and the Triton LE. I've touched Acid and EJay here and there but I feel like i'm cheating...I like the MPC
Anything else...?
Big Up to Smoke Em ENT. Brett, Que, Blak, Letlone, Venom, Sensay, Justice, Taz-Uno, Kamikazi...props to Rebel Gang, Heavy Ammo, Vendetta ,(Beast Jizzle and Hann) Focus,, Gatz-B the Great, KnightKrawler and all my fellow artists on the grind.
