ARTIST: SLYDAHMER SOUNDCLOUD TWITTER INSTAGRAM ARTIST: THUGYEEZY SOUNDCLOUD TWITTER INSTAGRAM Before The Funeral was, for a while at least, by personal Detox. Desperate for more collaborations (and music in general) from ludicrously talented producer/rapper Slydahmer and one of the true modern god MC’s ThugYeezy, I had to make do with the singles ‘Eighteen’ and ‘Neighbours’ for the last half a […]
PRODUCER: WHOSE TWITTER INSTAGRAM As a producer, whose crosses boundaries that many can only hope to match. I’ve previously compared his beats to those of El-P, and I still believe that that’s a valid comparison. The song ‘Steve Martin’, from the interestingly titled EP i look like post malone, is a pulsating, quasi-industrial nightmare that fits his collaborator URSUS.’ bruising […]
An Atlanta rapper with a distinctive sound, PBR has a lot of high quality work out. With his upcoming project with friend/collaborator VNUS808 on the way, we only have more to look forward to. 1. You told me that you most frequently work with VNUS808, and in your collabs like ‘ZIP’ and ‘John Wick’ I can see that there’s an […]
A genre spanning musician and incredibly talented producer, Colton is a big supporter of my blog and it was only right that we finally worked on an interview together. 1. You’re probably the most musically experimental artist I’ve ever interviewed. Can you tell me about some of your favourite genres and what you love most about them? thank you for […]
Texas rapper JUiiCE has made a decent splash on my radar as of late, his music is fast paced, determined and most importantly comes from the soul. We talked about his inspirations, his favourite people to work with, and his plans for the future. 1. You recently dropped the #GlossStarTape, which was a nice collection of tracks. When will I […]
Florida’s Aegis Young is another vital member of the state’s blooming rap scene. We chopped it up about his career so far, his live shows and his intentions for the future. 1. When did you first begin rapping? Your first project on Soundcloud is from 2014 but does your career date further back? I first started rapping when I was […]
A poet, rapper and songwriter, Real Chrispy has just released the video for his track ‘Fixated’, a smash that appeared on my first compilation tape. 1. How long have you been a poet/songwriter? Your skills are evident in the stuff you release, so I’d guess they come from years of experience. I’ve been writing songs, poetry & even little jingles […]
‘Fake Love’ is a common theme in hip-hop, especially in an age where genuine support is hard to distinguish from the fickleness of the mainstream market. Jordan Taylor has a solid discography that includes autotune-aided exuberance and soul-gazing emo, but his latest offering is something else entirely. Utilising the dark melodicism of Xtravulous’ production, he is able to apply his […]
TERRORWORLD producer SOLVRFLVRE is one of the underground’s most underrated (and dare I say under-appreciated?) names. His beats perfectly capture the darkness that the true underground is imbued with to it very core, so its no surprise legends like SGP have chosen to rap on them. I wanted to interview him not only because of his extensive list of high-quality […]
Horror Posse member and perhaps one of the most eclectic artists I’ve encountered in my time running this blog, Chainsmoke is a masterful producer with an impressive discography under his belt. He’s also maybe my biggest supporter, he’s the one person I can always count on to always listen to the music I drop and I can’t thank him enough […]
Perhaps the definitive face of BMB’s sound, IAMPISSED is a true student of SGP. That’s not downplay the uniqueness of his sound, he has crafted some of the underground’s most recognisable production and worked with many of its legends. This is one of my most important and insightful interviews to date, and I hope you all enjoy it. 1. When […]
New York rapper Skuboy has been a big supporter of 108MICS for the past few months, and I like to think I’ve been able to repay the favour by supporting his dope music. Do NOT sleep on this guy, his year has only just started and he’s going to make his mark in a big way. 1. First off, can […]
My latest interview is with XL Cartel member Peso, he’s been on my radar for almost a year now. Every song he drops is incredibly dope, and I’m hyped for his next project. 1. Firstly, I wanted to say that we should have done this a lot sooner, I’ve been clued into your music since you dropped FOCU5 last year. […]
Russian producer SnowIcy is an impressive talent whose ability to craft dark, phonk-influenced music is just as strong as his penchant for turning r&b melodies into something even more hauntingly beautiful. Like other Russian producers influenced by the sound of the American underground, he is on the road towards becoming a prolific name and I hope more artists get in […]
PRODUCER: WHOSE TWITTER INSTAGRAM whose camp, a collaborative project between producer whose and a variety of his rapper friends, is a wonderful slice of acrobatic, constantly shifting hip-hop condensed into a pleasant 20 minutes. The first track, a ‘welcome’ to the camp, sports the vocal talents of rapper Zech in all their glory. A serious heavyweight in the rap field, […]
My first interview with Palm Beach rapper Herme$ was one of my favourites, and in the time since then and this second instalment he’s expanded his ever growing discog massively, become part of the BMB collective alongside countless other talented rapper and producers, and generally proved that he’s one of the hardest working artists out of Florida. He’s got a […]
