I’m from Birmingham, UK which has produced acts such as Moorish Delta 7 and Malik. I mention those names as a sign of respect. There are a lot of talented artists in the Midlands independent and underground. In my opinion the Hip-Hop industry here is holding its own as the youth seem to be more into grime and baseline these days, like a new era has come around. There are Hip-Hop events such as the ‘Unseen’. Also Eat Good Records are repping strong it seems with regular shows and performances. There are many other venues that keep the flame’s burning! Also for anybody needing studio time in or out of the city etc check out www.2nd-city.com.
The two earliest I can remember buying was Ice Cubes ‘Americas Most Wanted’ (I wore bandanas like a young Cube!) also Ice T’s ‘O.G Original Gangsta’. I was also always feeling Public Enemy ‘A Rebel Without A Cause’. I started off my career in Hip-Hop in a group called Movemakers though the group split up and I decided to juts develop behind the scenes before deciding to come back as a soloist.
‘Street Baptist’ mixed by DJ Ames was my first release and I got some decent feed back from it though I think I just needed a marker to improve against y’know! I know will do much better, I just keep upping my game. The same goes for ‘Crucifix’, it’s getting a much better response so I am getting more and more attention which I feel good about.
At the moment from the ‘Street Baptist’ release I would say it’s ‘We Mixed Up Men’ produced by my cousin Urban Monk. I would say that was the track that got the biggest interest, though in time I should get feed back from new release ‘Crucifix’ which has just been released. My favourite track off the new release’ Crucifix’ has to be ‘Hip-Hop Pilgrim’ which is already getting some good feedback.
I’m unsigned at the moment; I’ve worked with my cousin Urban Monk and two artists from the States Moka Blast ‘the punch line king’ & ‘the heat rock flows’ of E Dot Spencer. Also I worked with Beatbusta from Canada and Nedos at Second City studios in Birmingham UK. In future I’m open to work with anybody who’s into leaving there “so called ego’s” at home and are just about making good music, no matter where they are from, because its where your minds at that’s important.
I’ve got two collab’s coming this year ones hopefully being recorded in a matter of weeks though I won’t say at this point. I don’t like to talk I just like to do, as I’ve heard a lot of peeps talk with no end product.
The last time I’ve done a gig was few years back in Birmingham it was a good night but unfortunately trouble flared up!
I think radio is a good thing but to be honest I’m not getting any love from them at moment. The stations think my music is gang related if anyone took the time to listen to the lyrics, I’m the opposite. I would class myself as a conscious artist.
This is something that I intend to arrange soon.
To be honest I do this for the love of music, though I respect mans that earn lots of cash.
I would describe it as conscious, street poetry. I just do me!
Big respect to you Tricksta and to everyone else at Rago magazine. Shouts to DJ Ames, Park Street PR and bless up to anybody that knows me, supports me or downloads my ish! Below is the link to my mixtape, please download it and let me know what you think!
