Baggage
Baggage is the combination of two cousins with simliar love of Hip Hop culture and music. Gloom works with production and Phocks works the writing and vocals.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Phocks has been writing since 1999 and recently started recording and putting songs up on the internet. Gloom has been DJing and producing in his hometown for years. After talking one day and realizing they had similar interest in music, the two cousins decided to team up.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Phocks performs locally at random occasions. Gloom DJ's at clubs
Your musical influences
Phocks' influences are Cunninlynguists, Jedi Mind Tricks, 7L and Esoteric, Swollen Members, Immortal Technique, and mostly any underground Philly and Boston groups.
Glooms' influences are Del, Jazz, and the Underground scene.
What equipment do you use?
Phocks: I just use a mic and simple Acoustica recording program. I can't speak for Gloom but I know he's got high tech shit
Anything else?
Make music because you love music, not because you love what you get from making music: money, fame, girls, etc.
