I'm on some crazy shit
Beats and Rhymes Radio on WPGU!! Bringing you the best in Indie and Underground currents and classics. Say word, get a new vinyl addiction
They say the game is fucked up with producers who try to make bangers without knowing their shit. Well, you need to get on your shit and know that I make bangers.
Unfortunately, I have too many influences to be one of those beatsmiths with one unique style. I like to sound like em all. I also believe that a vital part of understanding and making hip hop music is a producers ability to pay homage. so, my idols go as followed:
Premier
Company Flow (EL, Juss, and Len)
Ski
Dilla
Diamond D
Panik
PNS
Kaz 1
The people close to home who I choose to learn from:
AMS
GRZA
Spinnerty
DJ Limbs
DJ Phonetics
Boodah Blao
SeanG
Sharkula
I also feel that too many emcees are trying to make it big somewhere else. Make it big where you're at...uplift the people in YOUR hip hop scene. Because I don't think hip hop is a movement that causes people to migrate where its a big deal. Its a lifestyle that you live wherever you are, and whatever equipment, or whatever emcees you have to work with at the moment. That is how you really get in your Hip Hop shit.
About me though? raised on the Northwest side of Chicago. Been backpackin since like 4th grade and shiit....my first hip hop album was that Big Willie Style (lol...peace to Camp Lo on that shit, word b!).....i mean, what else? I do my own stunts
Make sure you hit me up for the latest UC Hip Hop release, "Now U-C US"
