BOLT ASSAULTS
An unsigned artist seeking for opportunities. HipHop general genre. With nobody interested in rapping in his group,Bolt Assaults developed a liking to the HipHop and was always deterred .His peers used to stop him when he used to start off imitating Eminem , his major influence.It was then he realised that he needed to do something else ,something which would not involve his peers.He joined a social site where he found Desi Rappers battling and making tracks without any apprentice.Started off with basic text rap battles on the site with other rappers living in India and Pakistan(mostly), he honed his skills to an average level in the text field.After acquiring quiet enough knowledge in the genre,Bolt Assaults,switched to audios in January 2008.Releasing first promotional track on the Internet,he was appreciated from his fellow rappers ,who are his influences as well,and so he further made new tracks and still continues for the love of making them.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Since am pursuing my engineering in Information Technology. I haven't looked out for opportunities so far. But am always available for any time.
So far , I have played live in my college only. And seeing 700 students cheering , yes! it was a special moment.
Your musical influences
I don't call my self a rapper. My weakness : Can't freestyle.I blame the tongue.
But it was not freestyle that got me into this.It was mad flow and rhythm. Eminem being the 80% taker. When i tried to do something for my self , i ended up joining communities on the Social Site - Orkut . The game was at its best in those pity arenas. It was Desi,pure desi.Text battles, Black List tournaments,spell binding conceptual and viscous lyrics and they their non viscous flow. My misconception of India cannot produce any rappers was gone. I delved into the genre and now I have earned some respect in the hood.Its like a cult we are building.
These rappers are my major influences.
What equipment do you use?
Hi-tech music devices, turntables, consoles.
All sum up to a computer, with headphones and an attached microphone and AUDACITY.
Anything else?
All i want is love for the music. More and more should love music. Make it a competitive industry and not an impossible-to-reach-like.
