Yamin Semali
Yamin SemaliRebel Music'People don't request trap music because they want to hear it. It's just funded by that lifestyle, so now it's a popular thing. The fucked up part is that all the dope is let in by the government. You can't be a rebel if your music is subsidized by the Fed.'POSTED 07|30|2012
Aarophat
AarophatThe Unconquerable Soul'The mission is to motivate. People need to be reminded that anything is possible. 'Invictus' is about dedication and perseverance against all odds. Revolution can happen this way. Hip-hop can change the world this way.'POSTED 06|17|2012
Wordsworth
WordsworthWords Worth A Thousand Photos'I honestly just feel like how you use music to score a film, I use words to score an album. I go with what the music tells me to do, my instincts.'POSTED 06|14|2012
Chillow
ChillowReaps What He Sows'Me and Reap did a demo track together and I was like 'wow, this is it’. He fits my jazzy beats -I got different beats but especially jazzy ones- he has a raspy voice, a little bit like Nas, so then I thought ‘Ok, let's go’.'POSTED 06|13|2012
Wordsmith
WordsmithA Father To His Child'The days of being a studio rat are gone, but it has made me a better musician due to the time constraints and just experiencing life through the eyes of a single father on a daily basis.'POSTED 06|12|2012
Parallel Thought
Parallel ThoughtBites The Apple''The challenges would be to make music that actually stands out and start a 'brand' of which people wanna be a part of. It's cliché to call it a 'movement', but growing a click that people feel a part of, seems the way to go.' 'POSTED 06|07|2012
Luv NY
Luv NYBig Apple's Best'The concept came together because we were all working in Red Apples Studio around the same time. Everybody would hear each other's stuff and be in and out.'POSTED 05|18|2012
Hieroglyphics
HieroglyphicsJust The Beginning'It may sound like a long time but it doesn't feel like it. We feel blessed to be able to still create and perform as a unit and have people want to see us rock all over the planet. I say this is just the beginning. 'POSTED 05|17|2012
DJ Spinna
DJ SpinnaA Branch Of Boom Bap'‘At one point the hip-hop scene changed so much to where the style of beats I was making became less of a demand. Not to mention, the underground hip-hop scene started getting really crowded with wackness. I've always wanted to do other things so I felt it was time to venture out.’'POSTED 05|14|2012
Casanova Rud
Casanova RudStill Got Em Locked: Part Two'' I remember Paul C and us hanging at 12 12 studios in the music building on Archer blvd. in Jamaica Queens NY. In between sessions we would take a break playing ping pong on a table we constructed out of ply wood.''POSTED 05|13|2012
