WE ARE A SMALLER CREW OF YOUNGER CATS WHO DO MUSIC OUT OF SEATTLE. BORN AND RAISED HERE, JUST DOING OUR THANG... WE HAVE ARTISTS THAT ARE IN AND OUT, BUT THE MOST COMMONLY RECOGNIZED AND RE-OCCURRING ARTISTS ARE CASPER G AND REEZY REE. WE HAVE SOME PEOPLE IN OUR BACKROUND OF MAKING THE CREW THAT ARE AROUND, BUT WE MAKE EVERYTHING OURSELVES AND THATS HOW WE OPERATE. HOPE YOU FEEL IT.
G
G
Why this name?
PRETTY SELF EXPLANATORY. WE ACTUALLY CHANGED IT FROM THE ORIGINAL NAME OF "PAPER WERK" BECAUSE SOMEBODY STOLE IT AND THEY WERENT A PART OF OUR GROUP AND SINCE WE HAVE MULTIPLE DIFFERENT GROUPS, CLUBS, COMPANIES AND ORGANIZATIONS WE WORK WITH IN OUR CIRCLE, WE JUST CHANGED OUR WHOLE CIRCLES NAMES FROM "WERK" TO "WERX." PAPER WERX CREW... THATS US.
Do you play live?
WE HAVE DONE LIVE THINGS WITH FRIENDS AND FREESTYLE BATTLES AND SOON WE WILL BE SETTING UP SHOWS... WE ACTUALLY JUST GOT THINGS BACK TOGETHER AND BACK ON TRACK... WE HAD A LITTLE BIT OF LAG TIME DEALING WITH SOME EQUIPMENT UPGRADES AND SYSTEM UPGRADES, ALONG WITH SOFTWARE... LOTS OF THINGS TO LEARN TO CREATE A CLEANER MORE PROFESSIONAL SOUND VERSUS JUST SOME GARBAGE....
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
UGH, WELL I WOULD HAVE TO SAY THAT THE INTERNET MAKES IT EASIER TO GET TO THE MUSIC, BUT IT MAKES IT A LITTLE BIT HARDER TO GET OUT BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE WHO ARE OUT THERE DOING MUSIC... OR TRYING ANYWAY... MP3 IS COOL, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HAVE A COMPATIBLE SYSTEM. IT MAKES IT A LOT EASIER TO MAKE MORE USE OF YOUR SPACE, AND ITS MORE ECONOMICAL AS FAR AS THE COSTS OF CDS AND THINGS LIKE THAT...
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
ALL DAY. I WOULD LOVE TO STRIKE A RECORDING CONTRACT WITH A MAJOR LABEL... BUT IF I DONT, OBVIOUSLY IT WONT BE THE END OF THE WORLD FOR ME. I WILL STILL MAKE MY MUSIC AND SELL MY CDS ONE WAY OR ANOTHER... A DEAL WOULD BE COOL THOUGH... AND MAKE THINGS A LOT EASIER...
Your influences?
WE DO RAP, R&B/HIP HOP, UNDERGROUND, ALSO MAINSTREAM STYLE. REAL DIVERSE WITH OUR MUSIC... WE GET GOOFY AND MAKE RETARDED SONGS THAT MAKE PEOPLE LAUGH, SET TRENDS, ETC. WE JUST LIKE TO SET OURSELVES APART FROM EVERYBODY ELSE BUT STILL STAYING RIGHT AT THE SAME PACE THAT THE GAME MOVES IN...
