Q. So Static... where does the name come from? Actually The Name Used To be Young Soulja, but I Had To Change It For Legal Purposes Since It Was Already Taken, Static Was A Name Given To Me Because A While back For A Few Months, Everytime I Would Touch Something People Would Get Shocked And Its Still Kinda Goin On Today, I Consider Myself The STATIC SHOCK Of My Day lol Q. I see you up on Myspace grinding like a muthafucka, its like there's a new mixtape from you and your camp every month, how do you stay on it so hard? My Fans Are My main Motivation Bro. All The Messages I Recieve Everyday From People Requesting Music, And Requesting me To Send Them A Copy Of My Cd's, Thats My Drive. Plus I Simply Just Love Making Music! Q. Everyone wants to know what its going to take to get Vegas on the map, I have my own thoughts on this but how do you feel about the subject? Great Question! Theres A Saying "Its Not What You know, it's Who You know" And With All The Damn Talent Out Here, It Must Be True So I Guess We Just Have To Wait For Our Time! Theres Real Talented Artists Our here Like For Example, Sedrew Price, That Nigga Nate, Trayo, Viruz, And Many Others Yet None Of Us Are Signed! So I Guess What It Takes To Put Vegas On The map Is Time. Q. CD sales for even the hottest artists are in the toilet right now, why do you think that is and what do you think artists should do to get around the "problem" of mp3s and the internet? Well Bro, The Thing Is, If A Person Has A Problem Buying An Album In Stores When They Can just Download It, They'll Definately have A Problem Buying Music From An Artist That Is Underground. I think that if an artist wants to get around the "problem" of mp3's and the internet, then that artist should get out of the game because that's a problem no one can get around really! Q. Tell me, what do you hope to accomplish with this lifestyle we call hip hop? The same thing we all do.. A better life bro. Q. With all that said, I have to ask this. Who are you? I mean who is the mind behind the music? I am an artist in touch with every aspect of music whether it be Rap, R&B, Chicano, Gangster, & Even Rock! Im 18 years old and I've been doing this music thing for the past 5 years. Im in a squad called "We Do This Music Group" Which consits of me, My Boy RyZe, That Nigga Nate (TNN), And J-Munni Q. Now I'm an artist just like you, (P.i.C in da buildin') and I've taken up this mantle of doing what I can to help artists such as yourself gain exposure. So let the people who read this that don't know who you are or where to find your shit at, where to look or go to get they hands on the product. And let em know what to look forward to in the future.
