Just like the little section of South Central Los Angeles that bears the same name as this California bred MC, Watts 1965 is on fire. Ablaze with a new message for the poverty bound inner-city youth, she has a stlye all her own and a consciousness that we all should share. Mental freedom from the traps of the media and other negative forces in and around the black community is her main focus.
Band/artist history
I began rhyming in 1993 at the Good Life Cafe. I really got all my stage presence from that experience. That place was tough. If you weren't flowing, the crowd would begin chanting "Please pass the mic! Please pass the mic!" It didn't matter if you were female. If you were wack they would let you know. It was fun.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
I play live as much as I can. Mainly underground clubs and college functions put together by Black Student Unions. I love being on stage. I feel free and open when I'm up there. My message in my music is extremely important to me. Anytime I am able to get up and share my ideas with an audience, the feeling is beautiful. Whether or not they agree with everything I say is another story.
Your musical influences
The Pharcyde and Freestyle Fellowship had an enormous influence on me. Mos Def, Nas, Outkast, Dead Prez are some others I'm really in to. Basically I'm digging all original type cats, building on their art and politics.
What equipment do you use?
Just my uzi. It weighs a ton you know.
