Back on The Block
How come we ain't gettin no higher? Everything you drop is sooooo tired!
MUSIC IS SUPPOSED TO INSPIRE!
MUSIC IS SUPPOSED TO INSPIRE!
Why this name?
It's what I use to document my experiences
Do you play live?
Not recently, but I am working on some new material that Sky7th and I are going to tour with. I love the interaction between an artist and souls that are feeling his/her music. Yeah at this little gig we did in Troy,(What up Troy!), I told the crowd the next time I came to Troy they all better know my shit!
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It already did. Now we can hear your sh*** for frizzy and if we don't like it we ain't gonna buy it. And to keep it 100 even if we like it we ain't gonna buy it! The technology has purged itsself of the album sales for singles. If you only have one or two hot 3:30's then you won't get an album sale, and to show our dissatisfaction we downloading your shit! Artists that are doing major record sales either are doing it through suburbia, or have the respect of the people. Liking you is a download, respecting you is a purchase. I bought Game Theory by The Roots and Kingdom Come by you know who this year and that's all I can think of Hip Hop.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Undecided. It would depend on the integrity of the label and the money involved. I'm totally fine with hand to handing my joints and having people pick them up at shows, after they have heard the music live and got to preveiw what they're buying.
Band History:
Since Illmatic I've been in and out of studios and basements. been a big fan of music my whole life. Been dope my whole life and finally decided to stop being stingy.
Your influences?
I don't believe I have any musical influences but there are an innumerable number of artists that I have enjoyed and respect for their willingness to share of themselves which to me is the barometer of good music hip hop being no exception.
Favorite spot?
Budapest Hungary. They know how to party!
Equipment used:
Ink pens, microphones, paper, pianos.
Anything else...?
My joints are classics. It's all from the heart. I'm giving you my thoughts, my perspective, I'm being progressive and morbidly optimistic. I try to make the songs that everyday people would make if they knew how to get their feelings out in words and music. So the real can always relate and respect me for helping them express themselves through my verses and choruses. DON"T FORGET ABOUT BLUEFACE YOU BASTARDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
