Transatlantic
What up this is Trans@lantic, I write new school rap, none of your 50 Cent fake gangsta talk, none of your Nelly "Hip Pop" for pussys. But i'm not claiming to be gangsta myself either. I just write about life w/o pretending to be anything.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Hmm...dunno, I've been listening to rap for quite some time now, and as things go I just started coming up with my own rhymes. My first one were horrible, matter of fact most of mine now still suck, but by now I occasionnally come up with what i consider some good stuff.
I found this site and decided to create a "band" spontaneously, so don't take all this too seriously.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I just started, so no live performances yet. I'm currently living in Cologne, Germany, so any giggs would be there.
Your musical influences
First of all, I don't only listen to hip hop/rap. I also listen to the more melodic types of metal, though I doubt you'd find much influence in my music of the latter.
Influences:
Nas, Kanye West, Mos Def, Wu Tang, Talib Kweli, DMX, Knocturnal
What equipment do you use?
don't have very much as far as equipment goes, I have a pretty good headset which I use as my mic, and then I have my computer. I use Supermp3recorder professional to record my tracks. Don't make my own beats, so thatz all I need. Could use a good program to combine mic-input and line-input if anyone knows of one. I kinda need to mess around to combine what i spit with the beats.
