What's up A- Dub. How is it going man? I CANT COMPLAIN
So Aaron I'm gonna start off by letting you tell my loyal readers a little bit about your background. Lets start with where you're originally from and how did you get started singing? WELL, I'M ORIGINALLY FROM SHREVEPORT, LOUISIANA (RATCHET CITY). I STARTED SINGING WHEN I WAS 7 YEARS OLD. MY OLDER COUSIN, ANTHONY WRIGHT, WAS SINGING BOYS II MEN "END OF THE ROAD" AND HE ASKED ME TO JOIN IN. AT FIRST I WAS SHY BUT AS I STARTED, I DISCOVERED A NEW TALENT, MY COUSIN WAS MY FIRST IDOL.
Have you ever been in a group or band? If so, what was the transition like becoming a solo artist in reference to your grind and creativity?
HARDLY EVER HEAR A MAN TELL A WOMAN "YES, I DID WRONG" OR " THIS IS WHY I DID WRONG" OR EVEN "THIS IS MY PROBLEM." WELL I WANT TO TELL WOMEN EXACTLY WHY WE DO THEM WRONG AT TIMES, THROUGH MY MUSIC.
What about being an artist attracts you most? Is it writing/ recording or performing and why? WHAT ATTRACTS ME MOST ABOUT BEING AN ARTIST IS JUST KNOWING THE WORLD IS GOING TO HEAR ME IS AN AMAZING FEELING. ALSO, THE PEOPLE WHO LOOK UP TO ME NOW AND RESPECT ME MORE BECAUSE I MADE IT OUT OF NOTHING. I REALLY LOVE RECORDING AND PERFORMING, BUT THE PEOPLE AND FANS MAKE IT WORTH THE HARD WORK AND OVERTIME I SPEND IN THE STUDIO AND WORKING OUT.
E I JUST FEEL LIK TEENAGERS NEEDTHAT SOMEONE DS UNDERSTAN THEM
IF BEING IN A DANCE GROUP COUNTS THEN YES, LOL. WE CALLED OURSELVES "FREAK UNIT" WE WERE A FREAK DANCING GROUP (FOR THE LADIES). BAND? I WAS IN A HIGH SCHOOL JAZZ BAND RECENTLY AND THE TRANSITION FROM DOING THOSE THINGS TO WHERE I AM NOW, IS JUST OVERWHELMING. I'M VERY THANKFUL AND BLESSED.
I was privileged too hear a couple of you're songs and I definitely feel like you have a refreshing sound and that the time is ripe for your entrance. But the question I have for you is. Do you feel like your music fills a void of what might be lacking in the genre? THANK YOU, I'M GLAD YOU LIKED IT. I JUST FEEL LIKE TEENAGERS NEED SOMEONE THAT UNDERSTANDS THEM AND, BEING A TEENAGER, I THINK I'M THE RIGHT GUY FOR THE JOB. ALSO, I FEEL LIKE THIS GENRE IS MISSING HONESTLY. YOU
So tell us about this project you're working on, projected release dates and any appearances coming up.
OH!. YES, THE PROJECT, I THINK IS COMING ALONG BEAUTIFULLY. I'M WORKING WITH PEOPLE WHO I NEVER KNEW I COULD WORK WITH. FOR INSTANCE, TIGER THE WRITER AND PIERRE FROM "CORNER BOYS." I WAS VERY EXCITED TO WORK WITH THESE MEN. ESPECIALLY KNOWING THEIR WORK, AT THIS MOMENT I DON'T KNOW WHAT MY CEO HAS UP HIS SLEEVE, AS FAR AS RELEASE DATES AND PERFORMANCE DATES BUT, BE ON THE LOOK OUT.
Aaron I really like what you're doing and wish you the best. Why don't you hip my readers on where they can keep up with what moves you making. MYSPACE.COM/OFFICIALAARONWRIGHT FACEBOOK.COM/OFFICIALAARONWRIGHT TWITTER.COM/1AARONWRIGHT

AFANI DA ICE KING UNDERSTANDS THE VIRTUE OF PATIENCE AND IS KNOWN TO SET TRENDS. IN 2007, KAFANI’S “FAST (LIKE A NASCAR)” REIGNITED THE INDUSTRY’S FOCUS ON THE BAY AREA AND HELPED TO SHED LIGHT ON ITS NEWEST STAR. HE LANDED A THREE YEAR, THREE ALBUM DEAL WITH KOCH RECORDS AND A RINGTONE DISTRIBUTION CONTRACT, AMONG OTHER THINGS. MOREOVER, “… NASCAR” SET THE STAGE FOR KAFANI’S SOLO DEBUT, MONEY IS MY MOTIVATION. DUE IN PART TO A SELF-INDUCED CROSS COUNTRY CAMPAIGN, THE ALBUM WAS WELL RECEIVED. UPON SETTING HIS FEET FIRMLY BACK ON HIS NATIVE OAKLAND SOIL, HE ESTABLISHED HIS OWN MEDIA AND MARKETING OUTFIT – ICE KING MUSIC IN ORDER TO MOVE AWAY FROM TRADITIONAL METHODS OF PROMOTION AND EMBRACED THE FULL CAPABILITIES OF THE WORLD WIDE WEB. “MY WHOLE FOCUS IS TO GO COMPLETELY DIGITAL,” HE SAYS. “I’M JUST BASICALLY TRYING TO GET PEOPLE TO GO BUY MY [MUSIC] ONLINE. HIS DIGITAL PUSH HAS EARNED UPWARDS OF 11 MILLION TOTAL PLAYS BETWEEN HIS TWO MAIN MYSPACE PAGES – MYSPACE.COM/ KAFANIDAICEKING & MYSPACE.COM/KAFANI1 - AND THOUSANDS OF MORE UPLOADS, FOLLOWERS AND FRIENDS ON OTHER SOCIAL NETWORKING SITES. WITH RECENT HITS SUCH AS “NEED YOUR BODY” (FT. BOBBY VALENTINO) AND “GET THAT DOUGH” (FT. GUCCI MANE & DOROUGH) SIFTING INTO OVER 40 RADIO STATIONS NATIONWIDE AND ON ITUNES, KAFANI HAS PROVEN HIMSELF A WORTHWHILE COMMODITY, AS HE MOVES SWIFTLY TOWARD THE RELEASE OF HIS SECOND SOLO ALBUM I.C.E. (I CREATE ENVY). BUT UNTIL HE THEN, KAFANI DA ICE KING WILL CONTINUE TO PRACTICE THE ART OF PATIENCE.

ESTINED FOR GREATNESS, STONE MOUNTAIN BASED RAPPER LIL’ HUMP EMERGES FROM THE PACK WITH QUALITIES SUCH AS HUSTLE, STYLE, CHARISMA, AND EXTRAORDINARY SWAG. THE YOUNGEST OF 5 SIBLINGS, IT WAS NATURAL THAT MATTHEW HUMPHREY WOULD EARN THE MONIKER OF LIL’ HUMP. AT 7 LIL’ HUMP MOVED WITH HIS PARENTS FROM ROCHESTER, NY TO DECATUR, GA. SHORTLY AFTER RELOCATING, DUE TO HIS FAMILY FINANCIAL STRUGGLES, LIL’ HUMP TOOK TO THE STREETS TO ENSURE HIS FAMILY’S WELL BEING BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY. BEING AN INNOVATOR, HE DECIDED TO TAKE HIS CAREER INTO HIS OWN HANDS AND BEGAN A MOVEMENT CALLED GAMETIME ENTERTAINMENT. LIL’ HUMP’S STYLE OF MUSIC IS SOMETHING UNIQUE TO THE ATLANTA SCENE. HE HAS FOUND A WAY TO COMBINE TRAP AND KRUNK MUSIC, DEEMING IT “TRUNK MUSIC” THAT YOU CAN BUMP IN YOUR TRUNK WITH YOUR SYSTEM REAL LOUD WITH YOUR GIRL, MARY JANE. THIS MUSIC IS FOR EVERYONE WHO’S SWAG IS ON A TRILLION, THEY GETTING MONEY, UNDERSTANDS BOSS LINGO AND DON’T GET IT TWISTED, HE’S GOT MUSIC FOR THE BADDEST LADIES TOO.

A LUBABY
HOT NEW ARTIST BY THE NAME OF LUBABY AKA "MR. KEY2DACITY" IS BLOWING UP THE INTERNET AND THE UNDERGROUND WITH HIS VERSATILE STYLE, & HUMBLE PERSONALITY. THIS RISING STAR IS SURE TO BLOW AWAY THE INDUSTRY. LUBABY KEY2DACITY OPENED UP FOR TOP ARTIST LIKE RICK ROSS, PSC,TI, YOUNG JEEZY, CTE, LIL BOOSIE, AND MORE. LUBABY KEY2DACITY WAS ONE OF THE MAIN ARTIST ON THE UNSIGNED HYPE TOUR PART 2 WHICH WAS A MUILTI-CITY TOUR IN FLORIDA.

UTSPOKEN, BRASH, AND CONFIDENT. TO SAY THAT HE LAID HIS OWN GROUNDWORK IS A MAJOR UNDERSTATEMENT. SIR CONVEYS SUCH A FLASHY DELIVERY OF PUNCH LINES AND CLEVER WORDPLAY TO FIGURE OUT HOW HE DOES WHAT HE DO HAS BEEN A BIT OF A MYSTERY, AN ELUSIVE CHAMELEON OF SORTS; LIKE AN ILLUSIONIST WHO HAS MASTERED HIS SLEIGHT OF HAND MAGIC SO FLAWLESSLY THAT YOU CAN'T REALLY TELL WHERE HE IS AT ANY GIVEN POINT IN TIME. NOW U SEE HIM, NOW U DON'T. ONE MINUTE YOU THINK YOU UNDERSTAND HIM, THE NEXT YOU'RE TOTALLY BAFFLED. TODAY HE'S A STREET KID SKIRTING THE LAW; TOMORROW HE'S A CREATIVE GENIUS CHURNING OUT TIMELESS UNDERGROUND HIP-HOP CLASSICS. AND ALTHOUGH IT MAY SEEM THAT WAY, NONE OF IT IS SMOKE AND MIRRORS. RATHER ITS A MAN REVEALING HIS MANY DIMENSIONS AND INDULGING HIS OWN EVOLUTION. HE IS A COMPLEX INDIVIDUAL WHO HAS FAR MORE LAYERS THAN YOU CAN EVER SEE BY LOOKING AT HIS BOYISH FACE. atlanta

ANDY GEORGE IS THE BIRTH NAME GIVEN TO HIM BY HIS MOTHER BUT IN THE STREETS AND MUSIC WORLD HE IS KNOWN AS POOH OR"POOH GOT THE HONEY". THE OLDEST OF 4, RANDY HAS HAD A PASSION FOR MUSIC FOR AS LONG AS HE CAN REMEBER. BY THE AGE 3 HE WAS PERFOMING IN CHURCH HOLDING A MICROPHONE AND SEEMINGLY DESTINED TO BE A SUPERSTAR NO MATTER WHAT. RAISED BY A SINGLE MOTHER RANDY EVENTUALLY BECAME ATRACTED TO THE STREETS AND A RECKLESS LIFESTYLE WHICH POSSIBLY LED TO A A SERIOUS CAR ACCIDENT IN 2008. BUT BY 18 HE FOUND RAPPING AS A WAY TO EXPRESS HIS LIFE ON THE STREETS AND TO VENT. HIS COUSIN “G-MONEY OF THE 89 BOYZ” WAS ONE OF THE MANE PEOPLE WHO INSPIRED HIM TO STAY AT IT AND WITH THE SUPPORT OF HIS STREET FAMILY (S.I.S.T.) AND BIRTH FAMILY HAS GROWN LYRICALLY AND IS READY TO SHAKE UP THE MUSIC INDUSTRY. POOH’S STREET PERSONA IS WHAT HE ADDED TO THE S.I.S.T SOUND WHICH GAVE THEM A STREET PRESENCE TO ASSIST THEIR LYRICAL SKILLS. HAVING NOTHING BUT LOVE FOR HIS THE CREW, HE INSISTS THAT NO MATTER WHO REACHES THE TOP FIRST WE ALL WILL MAKE IT BECAUSE WE'RE FAMILY. POOH IS CONSTANTLY IN THE G SPOT STUDIO RECORDING WITH HIS PRODUCER G-MONEY MAKING TRACKS LIKE 10-4, SOLO DOLO, NASCAR MONEY AND COLLABORATING WITH THE CREW. WITH A NEW VISION ON LIFE THIS ARTIST PLANS TO AVOID THE STREET LIFE, FOCUS ON FAMILY AND CONTINUE MAKING HITS. I QUOTE POOH SAYING, " IT'S IMPORTANT TO HAVE GOOD PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE AND TO LET THEM KNOW YOU APPRECIATE THEM. KEEP IT 100 AT ALL TIMES BECAUSE GOD FORBID SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS TO WHO DOESN'T KNOW HOW YOU TRULY FEEL ABOUT THEM".

N ANY GIVEN DAY IN THE METRO ATLANTA AREA YOU MIGHT HEAR THE ROAR FROM A GYM PACKED WITH YOUNG EXCITED FANS. UPON GOING INSIDE YOU WILL WITNESS A PERFORMANCE FROM A CHARISMATIC HIP HOP ARTIST WORKING THE CROWD WITH AN ARRAY OF HIGH ENERGY SONGS WITH A LIVE BAND, GUEST FEATURES FROM TALENTED DANCE CREWS, R & B PHONEMES SUCH AS LEO, MS. CARTER AND B. JONES. FOLLOWING THE END OF THE SHOW THE ARTIST SWITCHES TO BUSINESS MODE AND EDUCATES HIS AUDIENCE ON THE ENTERTAINMENT BUSINESS AND HOW EDUCATION IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO BEING A SUCCESSFUL ARTIST. YOU HAVE JUST WITNESSED REEC, "THE BUSINESS MAN WITH THE MIC". THIS GAME WINNING STRATEGY WAS DEVELOPED BY BULLSEYE ENTERTAINMENT BUSINESS MANAGER G. “POP” SWINEY. USUALY REEC PERFORMS HIS SMASH SINGLE “PETER PAN FLY” FEATURING THE YOUNGBLOODZ FOR THE FANS BUT ON THE BUSINESS PLATFORM REEC & G. POP SWINEY HAVE ESTABLISHED RELATIONSHIPS SPONSORS THAT ASSIST WITH THE DISTRIBUTION IN RETURN FOR CUSTOMIZED MUSIC COMMERCIALS. HIS LATEST MIXTAPE IS LABELED "THE FORMULA" HAS HIT AFTER HIT ACTION AND IS HOSTED BY DJ REDD DREDD (HOT 107.FM). THIS SPECIAL EDITION CD GETS ITS FORMULA NAME FROM A SERIES OF ENTERTAINMENT SEMINARS HOSTED BY REEC & DJ REDD DREDD IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE ATLANTA - FULTON PUBLIC LIBRARY. THESE INFORMATIONAL SESSIONS STEM FROM A PROGRAM DEVELOPED BY POSITIVE AMERICAN YOUTH, A NON PROFIT ORGANIZATION THAT REEC DEVOTES COUNTLESS HOURS TO WHEN HE ISN’T IN THE STUDIO OR ON THE ROAD. WITH AN INDUSTRY READY FLOW AND UNMISTAKABLE RHYME PATTERN REEC MAKES IT CLEAR THAT THIS "BUSINESS MAN WITH A MIC" IS READY FOR AN ICONIC BREAKTHROUGH.

HA-KING, MEANING: “KING OF KINGS”, SUCH A FITTING NAME FOR THIS NEW YORK BORN ATLANTA BASED ARTIST. HIS NEW MIXTAPE IS “CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE”, AND IS THE CROSSROADS WHERE THE INDUSTRY MEET THE STREETS. SHA-KING’S MUSIC SO ACCURATELY SPEAKS OF LIFE EXPERIENCES HIS AUDIENCE CAN TRULY RELATE TO. HE PRIDES HIMSELF ON WRITING WHAT HE LIVES. HIS MOTTO IS "YOU CAN'T TALK IT, IF YOU AINT LIVE IT." WORKING ASIDE SOME OF TODAY’S FRESHEST DJ’S, AND HIP-HOP VETERAN BONE CRUSHER, SHA CURRENTLY HIS NEW HIT SINGLE “LOUD" HAS BEEN SPINNING AT SOME OF THE HOTTEST SPOTS IN ATLANTA, NEW YORK, AND CHARLOTTE N.C. HIS SOUND IS A FUSION OF "RADIO HYPNOSIS" AND GO HARD, HEAD NODDING STREET BANGERS. THROUGH HARD WORK, DEDICATION, AND AMBITION, SHA-KING HAS CREATED A FOLLOWING THROUGH OUT THE EAST COAST AND HAS PERFORMED AT VENUES LIKE CLUB INTRIGUE, THE SUGAR SHACK, 3G&W AND THE WEST FEST IN CHARLOTTE N.C. JUST TO NAME A FEW. WHEN ASKED, "IN SUCH AN AGGRESSIVE MARKET WHAT IS YOUR FORMULA FOR SUCCESS?" HE CONFIDENTLY ANSWERED, "I'M LIKE THE CALM BEFORE THE PERFECT STORM, THEY WILL NEVER SEE ME COMING."

HIP HOPS NEXT RAP SUPERSTAR. BY KNOWA LOGIC "THE INTERVIEWER"
Now Preach I want to start off by saying that you're new singles you got called Take A Picture and I'm A Star are going to be 2 of the hottest song out this summer! How are the streets responding to them and what's next for you? It’s been crazy since the day I released the 2 singles, the Dj’s, and fans were all over them. The single I’m A Star is currently in regular rotation on many radio stations, its spreading like a virus. My next thing is finishing up my album entitled 50/50. So I’m in the studio working hard everyday, and traveling a lot promoting the singles, targeting music capitols like Atlanta, Miami, and New York just to name a few. The grind never stops!! The video you just completed is a work of art man. Tell us who produced it and what was it like filming in New York? The track was produced by David Breed, the video was produced by Will C, Street Heat and with Jordan Towers worldstarhiphop.com. It was crazy shooting in NY. As soon as I landed I had to go straight to Times Square too start shooting at 9am morning because it’s the most common spot in the city. All the biggest stars shoot part of their videos there from Jay Z to Alycia Keys and many more. It was exhilarating, uplifting for my music career. The people just embraced me and showed me so much love. The people that were in the video weren’t actors they were real people filming, taking pictures and wanting autographs. The people appreciated my music. I see that you've been doing a massive promo campaign here in Atlanta, Ga. This is definitely the place to be but what other markets are you working?

The great thing about working Atlanta is that the music spreads to different states like, Alabama, Tennessee, Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas, and the list goes on…thanks to Flyer Promo Now Atlanta and Grind Squad Street Team for the heavy promotion thoughout the city. Outside of those markets I’ve been working the whole state of Florida Miami, Tampa, Tallahassee, etc. and doing heavy promotion on the internet circuit. You have been doing your thing consistently for a minute now and have collaborated with many artists including in infamous boss Rick Ross and Jakie O but are there any other artists or producers you're interested in working with? I would like to work with producers such as Timberland, Swiss Beats, Dre and Jazzi Fay to name a few and as far as the artist, I would have to say Jeezy, Drake, Kanye West, and Lil Wayne for now. Ok Preach! Is there anything you would like to add to this interview before we're out? I want to thank God because without him none of this would have been possible. I want to give a shot out to Doc Holiday, June from Flyer Promo Now Atlanta also Knowa Logic and Mokah D. from Chocolate City Live Media. Shout out to my management Billy Wiz from We In The Zone Ent., and the whole Double P Music family and everyone who supports me from family, fans to friends and the people behind the scenes that no one sees, thanks for the love.
