Mr. Vendetta and Willie Maggot
Hip Hop
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
We've known each other for awhile. Nowadays with the inability to really trust people we quit working with others. We realized we had similar ideas and goals, so it made sense for us to colaborate.
It's hard to find people that will give 100% and sacrifice things to reach their goals.
Vendetta was Scribble Jam's first MC champion, and is known in Cincinnati as an MC battle legend, by spending years on street corners in ciphers, inturn becoming an influence and idol to a lot of local MC's. Also, started an underground Hip Hop radio show, which Willie Maggot ended up running and eventually getting it kicked off the station for sexual acts being done on air.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Not yet
Your musical influences
We grew up on Hip Hop, all through the 80's and 90's. So all the classic groups influenced us. As we grew we expanded to all other types of music, especially the 70's. Really anything that has an essence and character.
Eminem, Paris, Redman, Rakim
What equipment do you use?
Korg Triton, Fostex VF80 digital 8 track
Anything else?
What we're trying to do is start an entertainment capitol. With our new CD we've done our own recording and arranging. We're doing our own manufacturing, distribution, advertising, and promotion.
We hope you'll be able to respect that and support us. We feel people are tired of getting half-ass product. We've tried to bring 100% to all the levels. From the album cover to content. We want our product to not just be music, but an expierience.
