Why this name?
Ever since my roommate last year called me Matty Fresh O.G. Straight Killa some of my friends starting calling me Matty Fresh and the name just stuck right afterwards. As soon as I got into the studio and got my first song recorded I told him that Matty Fresh recorded this
Do you play live?
Not yet. I have a lot of work to do this fall. I plan on putting out at least 11 more songs before I start doing shows.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
I believe it does because your hearing a college student's point of view who loved hip hop so much as he grew up listening to it. I'm not looking to be a club rapper or commercial rapper I'm trying to do it my own way I'm not trying to sell out. I grew up listening to A Tribe Called Quest, Nas, Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre back then in the 90s. However it's the style of artists like A Tribe Called Quest and Nas I admire the most and I'm hoping I can bring some of that back. I'm also looking to experiment with my music as well however. I plan on putting out something my friends would never expect me to put out. I'm still going to focus on my studies but I'm also still going to focus on my music I know I can do it.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Of course I would because honestly I want respect but I also want money. Money is a very important issue in our society especially now of days.
