Streetwise Records
Streetwise Records- Established in 2004 and going strong for the last 4 years.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Since the beginning, many thought of this as a joke. No one really had faith in the operation dispite a select few of my peers. Eventually, the weak died off and tha strong survived. Now I intruduce to the world one of the most talented establishments in the Chicago/ Midwest area.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I perform open mics anywhere availible in Chicago. Giavanni's in Dolton is a specific one that I do every monday. (1131 e. Sibley Blvd. Dolton Il.)
Your musical influences
Wu-tang, MC Lyte, Afrika Bambatta, Rakim, Dr. Dre. Talib Kweli, Common, Nas. All time greatest; rest in peace Notorious B.I.G. / Tupac Shakur. Long story short, anything that has anything to do with REAL HIPHOP. Not this finger snappin' bullshit of today.
What equipment do you use?
Roland XP 30. Konnekt 8 audio interface with Nuendo 3 as my vsti host recording software. The MPC 2500 and Roland Td-7 Sound Module. It doesn't take a million dollar studio to make a million dollar sound.
Anything else?
Shout out to Flipside Records for holdin' me down after all these years. Big ups to the CEO Adam Lonie for just bein' the real Nigga you are. To my fan base, much love throughout the US whose bumpin' a STREETWISE joint. Also, shout out to the Streetwise artists, Q- Storm, Xklusive, C. Love, Conspiracy, Cazpa (Timmy Crack), Li'l Don, and L.
