Why this name?
Its a funny ass story lol i use to play alot of video games growing up and i would always create a character or something and name it Ebonics no matter what cause it sounded like a hot name i would even save game files as Ebonics. Then when i got into rapping i was like yo that gotta ring to it and i didnt know anyone with that name so i stuck with it ever since did my research and was like thats me i am hip hop and "Ebonics" is recited threw hip hop all the time and its in your every day life.
Do you play live?
Yeah I Performed Live A Few Places There's Nothing Like The Energy From A Crowd. My Best Moment Was When I First Performed Live I Was Real Nervous At First Cause Yeah I Break danced In Shows But Never Rapped Before In Front Of People And Next Thing You Know I Had The People Singing My Chorus With Me That's When I Knew I Had To Keep Rapping And Progressing.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yeah its always been my dream to have performing be my job but if i never get the opportunity its cool cause the love for music is is my blood.
Band History:
Shelton "Ebonics" Long is a 18 year-old MC, songwriter,& break-dancer who has been making music for years and has improved as the years went on. From his friend’s basement to actual professional rerecording studios, each session becomes clearer that this is what he was born to do. Ebonics is one who talks about the truth and life problems people deal with everyday from relationship problems, fake people who say they they'll keep something on the hush then you turn around and everyone and there mother knows. It’s all told and exercised through his lyrics. Ebonics is very humble when it comes to his talents and gives all artists around him the same respect. Ebonics writes all his own material and though he feels it isn’t nothing special cause anybody can be a rapper if they know how to rhyme. However, it takes real skill to be an MC if you really want people to listen to you. He's been rapping for as long as he could write but it never has been as serious as it is now. For those who don't know what Ebonics means it means slang basically don't need to get all technical with it. Like you know how some people say "excuse me can i borrow a dollar thanks" in Ebonics its "yo my n*** let me get a bill real quick good looks"thats all that it is. People use "Ebonics" everyday in some form or way they do. His mother always told him how to go about things in life, you know, the basics like treat the ladies good and only fight if its that necessary. That’s how he is but sometimes people take him for granted and then they see a side they never seen before but if you cool peoples then he's a funny person to be around cracking jokes and making sure you having a good time. He's been through some stuff from moving from house to house, him and his mother being scared for there lives every now, and then because of the things his father was into but he's past that now. Life is looking up for him and his mom, all they have is each other and he does his best to make her proud. I could not stress this enough when I say he has something special to offer the world and his goal is to change the game one step at a time cause he respects everyone doing there thing making money but some of the things he hears on the radio he just has to ask him self "Where Did Real Hip Hop And The Love For Music Go?"
