1205 Productions
1205 was created by a hustler for hustlers. A hustler is anyone out creating income by any means necessary. On the 9-5 or as the CEO/Owner...you hustle; be it your product, conversation or ideas, you take whatever you got and sell it.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Created in 1997 out of aggression.
Released first EP "Reasoning" in 2000
Created Positivity for Purpose (P4P) in 2001 for balance.
Released album "Realness" in 2003.
Created YEM Promotions in 2005 out of necessity.

Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Yes, I used to only play live in Austin, Texas but over the last three years I've managed to travel from Louisianna to Florida for paid performances. I enjoy meeting and greeting my fans.
Your musical influences
UGK, Ghetto Boyz, NWA, BWA, Yo-Yo, Ice Cube, Public Enemy, MC Lyte, Indie.Arie, Keysha Cole, Trina...so many to name.
What equipment do you use?
Mr. M.I.G.G.I.E. (www.myspace.com/notativeproductions) and Swivol (www.myspace.com/tremindusthegreatswivol) are 1205's main producers. We just recently produced great street tracks with Siza Handz out of Nashville, TN. He will be our featured remix producer in 2009.
This all the equipment I need.
Anything else?
The South region has been getting recognition in hip hop since day 3. People can stop acting brand new to it. The Ghetto Boyz killed it back in 1985 so what's the fuss about? I won't say a word about UGK.
