We are .2 Caliber Clicka a rap group that consists of myself La`grima Hernandez and Bzup. Our music is socially aware aswell as grimy at times, in layman terms our music is about our surroundings and day to day lives thus we do not compromise our integrity when explaining how we live yet on the same note we dont refrain from explaining our true views on this lifestyle.
Why this name?
We came up with it when we originally started recording tracks while skipping school and using a mic that would make Lil John sound like a chipmonk character. .2 Represents that there is two of us who happen to be on point when we spit, caliber represents the fact that the both of us been on point makes what we bringing of higher caliber than the rest and clicka is rather self explanatory.
Do you play live?
Yes we do live shows, for free depending on the area aswell as for payment. We also can usually be found some weekends just on the corners and train stations cyphering and freestyling.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It has a positive effect, many who actually deserve to be heard and or truly have something to say get overlooked because perhaps they havent been shot 9 times or they havent spent 10 years of their life regretting their actions. Street Cred has given the industry a slew of untalented, intellectually challenged war mongerers who's songs are all tautological. We hope to bring something fresh to the table, call us intelligent hoodlums holmes or street students who give a f***.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yeah logically so that our music would be able to reach more people aswell as the fact that with the deal money would come. That way we could establish community organizations so that the little ones have an easier path on this journey that we call life.
Band History:
We have been around for damn near 3 years now. Pretty much me and B met at Highschool and liked the same music, joined the same gang and had the same f***ing pointless ambitions rapping was subsidiary at that time. However we have both grown and matured neither of us bang and we both look forward to making music with or without a label.
Your influences?
We both pretty much like the same music mainly Cypress Hill, Common, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, the Mexikanz, Tupac, Big Pun, Carlos Santana, Bob Marley and so on and so forth.
Favorite spot?
Defintely East Maitland, our unique spot; barrio if you will. We love the M and have so many friends who are truly supportive and who are well more or less our family members.
Equipment used:
Reason 3.0 for beats, keyboard, old style mixer for the mics and sound levels, two seperate mics. Not the greatest kit but still we produce our own music, compose our own beats and spit what we feel is relevant, hate it or love it.
Anything else...?
Our newest mixtape "the Prequel" has just been finished and will be released for free in East Maitland over the next few days. 5 hot tracks more or less just straight introduction tracks, the Sequel mixtape will also be free for those of you who live in East Maitland and you will notice that the feel will not be as mellow, the world aint all black and white.(Us Chicanos are here to lol)
