play lo-fi play hi-fi  Gangstaz Neva Die
DJ and producer from South Carolina.
Im not trying to fake it, I just want to be real with what I do.
Why this name?
My former band was named Djinn. I just took it from there. If you know the definitive version of my name then you know how it applies to those out there not being honest with their craft.
Do you play live?
There are plans in the making of live shows, but as of now the artists that i work with are just trying to get the recording side finished.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It gives exposure to those of us who arent fortunate enough to live in the areas where it is possible to be recognized. Lets face it, we cant all come from New York or L.A.
On the other hand that is kind of the blessing, because there is more "real" talent and not as much "flossy" garbage being distributed via the web.
Most internet artists are forced into being real with it mainly because you cant rap about Bentleys and Lamborghinis when youre from the trailer parks in Boise. But, you can write about those trailer parks, and it comes off so much better because its real life. Thats the art.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
As long as i didnt have to shave on a daily basis.
