In an attempt to further promote Jordan Looney's most recent release, "Nerd-Hop Vol. 2", we interviewed our main man to get to know him better and to make you love him even more than you already do.

TGLR Presents: J. Loonz.

Yo Jordan what’s up how was school this year and how’s college life in general?

Yo whats good with you my man. This has been a pretty crazy school year for me. I kicked it off with a four-month study abroad trip in Prague. I had never really been out of the country so to see Prague along with Amsterdam, Italy, Germany, and Hungary was really a life changing experience for me. Then I got back to school and dropped Nerd Hop Vol 1, which was lovely and I also started a live band called Looney and the Tunes, which has been going really well. Other than that I have just been hittin these books trying to graduate and partying as much as possible.

So your boy Max hooked us up with this interview and he’s been an awesome help. What do you think of him and his “promotion methods” (I won’t detail what he did to get me to listen to you, it’s a bit graphic)?

There is only one word that can be used to describe Max and that is BEAST. The man is just graduating high school and has more marketing and promotional talent than industry professionals. As far as his methods go, I just leave him to his own devices, and it gets results.

So I read your interview with the Daily Northwestern and it seems to me that you’re a pretty cool dude. Do you consider yourself a NERD with special hopping talents or is your album targeted at NERDs?

Well I will say that I hop with the best of them, but this album is really for anyone who is cool with being who they are and if that means a nerd than all the power to you. The main goal of Nerd Hop is to redefine what it means to be a Nerd. At the beginning of last summer I had to have a little sit down with myself and really look into who I was as a rapper and a person. I came to the realization that I was a Nerd. Not a Nerd in the sense that I am socially awkward or I can knock out your math homework in five minutes, but in the sense that I approach everything I do intelligently and passionately. Being a nerd is a state of mind, you can’t just though on a pair of big glasses and think you got it. You really have to live eat and sleep your nerdom not because you wanna make a fashion statement, but because your are completely ok with being yourself. I think everyone should strive to be a Nerd whether your thing is school, fashion, music, or even slangin yayo. Just look at the Clipse, biggest coke nerds ever.

I’m really digging a few tracks on Nerd Hop Vol. 1 like “Look at me Now” and “Oh Really”. I was able to listen to a track off your new tape, “Sleepy Head”, and I’m getting really excited! How does the feel of the second mixtape compare to the feel of the first one?

Well first there is just more content on Vol 2. Vol 1 was just like a little taste of what I am bringing to the table, Vol. 2 is like lunch. I ain’t served dinner yet, but we working on it. Vol 2 also has more of a blend of different tracks with a mesh of concepts that all speak to different parts of who I am. You got your party tracks like Sleepy Head combined with some tracks you can chill out to, mixed in with some heavy lyricism. All in all I think this next tape is definitely a step in the right direction and I look forward to making more music.

Who were you before college, and who are you now?
I think a lot of people go in to college looking to reinvent themselves, but for me college was a place to expand who I already was. Before college I was hungry to be a successful emcee, but I didn’t have the experience or the network necessary to put all the pieces together. Now I am still hungry to make this rap work out for, but I have a better understanding of how to make what I want happen. Education has made a lot of things possible in my life both musically and professionally and I still got a year left.

Did you always have a knack for music and rapping or did you pick up over the years? When did you start doing this shit?

Music has always been in my life. My grampa was a jazz pianist, my dad played the bongos, and my mom was a poet and they used to perform together before I was even born. Both of my older brothers and my cousin rap too, so I came up in a really creative/competitive space. My cousin was my age so we used to spend all day kicking freestyles. The first shit I ever recorded though, was back in junior high. Me and my boy made a CD where we made parodies of a bunch of tracks all about food. It was pretty clownin I might have to release it.

Tell me about your boy Zack. I’ve heard some pretty good stories.

I met Zack my freshmen year in African-American Studies 101. We were both in to music and we became good friends. You know how other people zone out or get distracted, at least for a small amount of time during the day. Well that just doesn’t happen with Zack. He is always working on something and constantly having new ideas. I said Max is a beast but Zack is like The Beast from X-Men. I don’t really want to put him on blast with any stories, but believe he’s doing big things.

Do you speak any foreign languages?

I speak a little Spanish and some Czech from living in Prague. In this new track Europe my first line is some German slang I picked up while I was abroad.

Have you looked at signing onto any labels? Where do you want to be in 5 years?

You know the thing about signing to a label is it could kill you career. Depending on your contract you cold get put in a bad position where you don’t have control over your own music. I’m not saying I won’t ever sign, but there are a lot of things I can do now to make sure that I have more say in the matter when an offer does come to the table. In the near future I’m working on developing my sound, but I eventually hope to make that classic album that full represents who I am as an artist. I feel like rapping is something that will always be with me, so I’m trying to get my hands in to a lot of different things. Hopefully I can start a few businesses, maybe go to grad school, and hopefully travel the world. These next five years are going to be incredible for me, I want to go all out and not hold anything back.

If you could work/collaborate with any artist/producer who would it be?

Man that’s a tough question because there are so many artists that I would love to work with. Personally I have always wanted to work with some Minnesota greats like Atmosphere or Brother Ali. But even as I say that I start thinking about working with some one like Andre 3000 or UGK, rest in peace Pimp C. Too many cats to name, next question.

What are you nerdy about/How much of a nerd are you?

Like I said earlier for me being a nerd is a state of mind, so whatever I do is going to have a little nerd in it. Of course I’m passionate about Hip Hop and I approach it in an intellectual way from how I write to how I market and promote myself. I do have some classic nerd tendencies, though. I have always liked school and I watch cartoons after school religiously until I was like a senior in high school. I still love cartoons, but I’m so busy I don’t really get a chance to watch them like I want. At the end of the day though there is something intangible about nerdiness that I have never been able to quite put my finger on. Maybe its just the fact that you see the world a little differently or have different priorities other than trying to be cool.

What is your opinion on the new musicians that are making it big in the music industry now?

I am really excited about the next generation of Hip Hop artist that are coming up right now. All across the country you have some really talented emcees that are putting out some quality music. Some of my favorites right now have got to be Wale, Drake and Kid Cuddi. I also have been really diggin heads like The Cool Kids, Mike Terror, Big Sean, and Kidz in the Hall to name a few. I gotta show Minnesota love though because I am consistently bumping Heiruspects, Atmosphere, Brother Ali, and POS. A lot of the emcees I named have only released mixtapes so I’m watching and listening for their albums. There are also a ton of other heads I didn’t mention who I really talented that I want to hear more from.

What do you think about Mike Posner?

I actually have been working with Mike for a little bit now. Zack and him had a mutual friend so they linked up and we started doing some marketing work for his first mixtape. About a month ago now we went out to Detroit to kick it with him for a few days. He is a cool guy, just really laid back and down to earth. As far as Mike Posner the artist goes, I think he is extremely talented and I can’t wait for him to make more music.

TGLR or some other crappy blog? How’s your blog doing?

Our blog is currently under construction, sort of. I had one of my friends do some graphic design for the site, but we never were really able to finish it. I was like I’m going to wait to start posting until its finished, but that might be a little while, so I think Ill start getting back to it. For the people that don’t know my blog is www.nerd-hop.com. It is of course devoted to all things nerd hop. Eventually I’m going to start putting all my lyrics up there. To me rapping is like poetry so I feel like sometimes people have to read my lyrics to really get everything that’s there. Another blog that I think every underground hip hop head needs to be up on is Midwestbroadcast.blogspot.com. They provide me with content and information about at a broad variety of artists from the all Midwest. He actually just released a compilation CD, called Flyover Land Vol 1 that is fire. Flyover Land Vol 2 is on the way, which I am going to feature on.

How do you primarily get your music out to the fans?

If I told you that I would have to kill you. Na I’m just playing, but we have developed a pretty solid method of distributing content using some methods from this Social Networking class Zack and I both took. So far we have released all the content digitally though facebook, myspace, and blog networks and it has been working pretty well. We have expanded the network since Vol 1 so I think Vol 2 is going to go a little farther.

What is J. Loonz's Theory of Relativity?

Well I have never really thought about it, but I guess my theory of relativity connects to my definition of success. They say success is relative, meaning that it is dependent on your own personal definitions and experiences. One person may feel that a successful rapper has to be ballin out of control with mad chains, and cars, but for me I measure my success by the quality of the music I make. Neither of these definitions is inherently wrong, I guess it just depends on what you really want.

Why Northwestern/How are the fans there?

My main reason for picking Northwestern is because it was the best school I got in to. Some other reason I choose NU was because it was’t too big and it was out of state. Although I love St. Paul, I had to leave for awhile and see what life was like outside the Twin Cities. Another great part about NU is how close it is to Chicago. The Chi is a beautiful city, when its not cold as fuck. Chicagoans has always showed me love and has given me some great experiences musically, professionally, and in life in general. Northwestern fans are getting better. When I first got out here people were a little suspect that anyone that went to school at NU could be a talented emcee, but I have been showing them the light.

If you could have anyone do a hook for you, who would it be?

I’ll take a hook from T-Payne just cuz it’s guaranteed to make me an instant star and a lot of paper. Na but for real though I think it would be really ill to get a hook from Lauren Hill I have always thought she had a beautiful voice and is one of the dopest emcees male or female ever to do it. Where you been at Ms. Hill?

Have you ever freestyled? If you have, how often do you do it!?

I came up freestyling. My friends used to always tell me to imagine Jay-Z or Nas was standing in front of me and was about to give me a deal, but I had to kick something off the top first. I think its a useful skill for any emcee because you can show off your skill where ever you are, but I don’t really like to do it on the track. I feel like I have a lot more control when I write because I select the perfect word for the rhyme plus I can make my rhymes have a deeper meaning beyond whatever it is I’m thinking about at the time. I definitely ebb and flow between freestyling and writing. One week ill write a novel and the next I can’t write for shit, but I can freestyle for days.

Performing Live or Doing Studio Work?

They both have their highs and lows. Performing live is a lot of fun especially with a live band. There is nothing like looking our over the audience and seeing people genuinely vibing with your music. What I like about studio work is the endless possibilities. There is so much you can do to a track. Whether it is in how you spit your verse or how you mix it down or the after affects you through on, when you step in the booth you have the opportunity to create something that a lot of people will enjoy.

If you could make music for a genre other then hip-hop, what would it be?

You know, me and my boy out here at NU used to clown all the time and switch our songs in to other genres. It was mostly country and like emo rock, but it was pretty funny. If I had my choice I would be and r and b singer, but just for the fact that chicks go crazy for singers. The only problem is my singing voice isn’t quite there, yet. I actually just saw prodigy the other night and they put on a sick show, I would love to rock as hard as those dudes.

Ever thought of making a music video and how you would go about that?

Actually I’m working on with a few film majors at NU to do just that. Not exactly sure what song or how the logistics are going to pan out, but the initial phases are under way.

Would you ever collab with artists not in the hip-hop genre?

Definitely. Passion Pit is like a techo, electronica group, but I would love to work with all types of musicians from punk to jazz.

How’s Chi Town? Do you know Chi City MAYNE??

Yo Chi Town is lovely. It’s starting to get warm outside which means summer is almost here, and you know there’s nothing better then the summer time Chi, especially when your twenty one. Ya dig

….You want a Snapple Becky.

TGLR Presents: Nerd-Hop Vol. 2:

DOWNLOAD NOW!!!

In case you are all not familiar with the two producers above, let me formally introduce you to them.  The two men above go by the names of Deuce and B. Wright.  Together, they form one of the most dynamic and outstanding producing groups in the music industry today.  Both of them were born in Michigan, however Deuce has traveled to Atlanta for school!  By the way, congratulations to Deuce on graduating from Morehouse!!! Wrigh Trax has collaborated with a ton of musicians through their time and probably some that you know, like Big Sean and Mike Posner, and the list will go on and on as their work spreads across the industry!  Anyway, without further a do, I present to you, Wrigh Trax!!!

Wrigh Trax: How is everything?

TGLR: Everything is good, how about you?

Wrigh Trax: Pretty good, pretty good, working man.

TGLR: Yea, well that’s always good!

Wrigh Trax: Yea man…

TGLR: So I got to ask this question, what was the inspiration and ideology behind your sick track entitled, “Tha City”? I mean I have been bumping that track long before I decided to start my site, so I have been thinking about this question for a very long time!

B. Wright: What was going on at that time, it was 2003?

Deuce: That was the first thing we threw on our mixtape/album it was originally titled “Mixtape”. We got comments from the Pistons and it was really something that was going to push us forward.

TGLR: Yea

B. Wright: The song really was just embracing where we grew up as in our hometown, Detroit. We talked about popular hangout spots in Detroit, it’s kind of like Petey Pablo’s “North Carolina,” ours was more on the local side.

TGLR: Yea, that song was really dope, have you guys ever put out an album?

B. Wright: On the Wrigh Trax entertainment side, we actually put out like eight albums I believe. “Tha City” was featured on Wrigh Trax Mixtape Vol. 1 which was put out back in 2003. We also did some solo albums as well.

TGLR: Now I know that you guys each cousins, but does that ever come into conflict while you are in the studio? I mean my brother get along with each other just fine (and he is arguably my best friend!), but when you are working on a project, do things get complicated?

Deuce: There are times in which we may feel different in the creative direction, in the end of the day, we just try to make something that we are proud of. Normally the conflict is solved by us just combining the two ideas, or if B. Wright has something better, then maybe we just use his stuff. At the end of the day, it isn’t “B. Wright,” or “Deuce,” it is Wrigh Trax.

TGLR: Have either of you ever wished that you could have lived in another city to grow up in, or were you happy growing up in Detroit?

B. Wright: Well, it was always like, we’d want to experience other cities, but we never had a problem growing up in Detroit. We always loved Detroit for what it was.

Deuce: Well, I live in Atlanta right now and I have been going to school here and just recently finished up college at Morehouse. It was my decision to go to school here, and as you know, Atlanta is a big place for music.

TGLR: Yea, I hear ya! Sadly though, the talk of kids my age and of the young group of people living in Detroit now is to leave town and find life elsewhere. Do you think that this is an issue?

B. Wright: I don’t think it will be an issue, so long as they remember where they are from. They need to give back to Detroit in some way or another. There are still going to be people who live in Detroit, and they are just going to keep good things going.

TGLR: Where does the name “Wrigh Trax” come from?

B. Wright: It is just a simplification of the last name Wright.

Deuce: Yea, haha

TGLR: So tell us how you got to where you are today!?

B. Wright: We had a lot of patience and hard work. Definitely had dedication. We had a vision, a vision of where we wanted to go. We started off rapping, and our vision changed a little and we are now doing producing. We really just started networking with other artists in the area. Big Sean is a mutual friend, and we started producing records with him. We started producing with big name musicians, like two tracks with Kanye West.

Deuce: I mean we really just exhausted every opportunity that was presented in front of us. Even when we were rapping, we would go to every place we could, making sure we had posters on us at all times. The same things now, when were doing productions. Whenever an opportunity comes along, we look to take advantage of it, not matter what it is. We used to go down to Hot 102.7 was 105.9 JFN when we were rapping. That was when Sugar Ray was on and they had premiered our single, “Tha City,” on Jam It or Slam It. Shout out to Dr. Darius, they have all been supporting since day one.

TGLR: In your journey to being where you are today, have you faced any, “haters” or people who told you that you two were ludicrous for thinking that you would be where you are today.

Deuce: Oh yea, definitely, there are always people that tell you that you can’t do it. I don’t know that I have ever had anyone that harsh. But it is generally people telling me to have a back up plan, and school. I guess it was more of people telling me to focus on my “Plan B’s” as opposed to my “Plan A’s,” which I believe is ultimately a road to failure, because you are just putting more emphasis on your backup plan.

B. Wright: Yea, I don’t want to say our parents, but yea… I mean when we first started off, our parents thought that this would all just be a phase, they thought the thinking, “well okay, maybe they can make a career out of this…” was wrong because a musical career is not promising. The music industry is sort of like survival of the fittest.

TGLR: Was being a musician one of your childhood dreams? I mean most people grow up wanting to be a super hero, movie star, or a police officer!?

Deuce: Yea, definitely, I was always a big Michael Jackson fan, when I was a younger, and he was the end all, be all, for me. That was where my love for music originated. That’s when I wanted to do music; it started off with performing and then turned into producing.

B. Wright: Well yea, you know, I would say like Hoop-Dreams, but after that didn’t work out, I started to mess around with beats and rhyming and then got serious with that stuff.

TGLR: On your free time, what do you enjoy to do?

B. Wright: Travel… Travel is real important to me. I like to see things that will visually stimulate me, like museums.

TGLR: Who are your favorite musicians in the music industry?

B. Wright: I would definitely have to say, Kanye West… who else? Big Sean and Michael Jackson. Just because I am inspired by them.

Deuce: That’s so hard for me to do Top 5’s, because I always leave someone out. Jay-Z would be in there, as one of the greatest… Dang, I can’t do this, because I already know that I am going to leave somebody out!

TGLR: Who do you think is going to blow up in the music industry this year?

Deuce: Big Sean is really going to put Detroit back on the map again, as far as newcomers are concerned, I think Drake is amazing, Drake, Big Sean, Mike Posner (he’s really about to take off), there’s a lot of dope artists.

TGLR: What are your opinions on all these “beef” situations that occur in the music industry? Do you ever read a “beef” article about 50 Cent and think to yourself that the whole thing is rather childish?

B. Wright: Yea, well I am not really too familiar with it, I have heard of it…

Deuce: That’s just Hip-Hop, that’s the driving force behind hip-hop. It really stimulates the growth of Hip-Hop, and I mean each of them are really dope artists, 50 Cent has put out albums with tremendous songs, and Rick Ross has put out three solid albums. They are both dope artists, I hope to work with both of them one day.

TGLR: What about beef in general, do you value it, or think it is useful?

Deuce: It is just the nature of the game.

B. Wright: I guess it depends on what type of artist you are, I am not going to say I am against it or with it. Well I mean, I’m against it for anything that I am doing.

TGLR: When did you decide to stop rapping and star producing?

Deuce: Like 2004/2005, that we decided to just focus straight on with the production.

TGLR: Not many people out there know what it means to produce a song, would you care to explain to them the process one goes through in order to produce a track?

B. Wright: I think like, first of all, being a producer, you don’t get enough credit. Producers have to go about what they do more like an artist because they don’t get that light that an artist gets. They have a vision, and they follow it all the way, and see the vision through. So I might have a melody, and lay that melody down. I would say a producer oversees the whole creative process.

Deuce: The producer is someone who is in process from the beginning through the end. He is someone who is involved musically and the whole creative process. Directing other musicians involved, the artist, it is much more then making a beat.

TGLR: In your opinion, what makes a song something special?

Deuce: Man, just like, you know, when you can’t get it out of your head, and it has such a deeper connection, like a sonic feeling.

TGLR: Which do you prefer to do more of? Studio Recordings or Live Shows?

B. Wright: We don’t do live shows anymore, just because we haven’t been working on that side of Wrigh Trax as of late. I love performing live, it was always a great rush. I love that rush you get when you perform for a bunch of people. I also love being inside of the studio, being involved with the creation process and vibing out in there. I miss recording in front of a live crowd, but I definitely love doing both.

TGLR: As a musician, what types of goals have you set for yourself? Have you reached any of those goals thus far in your career?

Deuce: I mean the goal has always been to make the best product, the goal really hasn’t changed much.

TGLR: If you had to create a dream band to perform with live, whom would it consist with?

B. Wright: Oh man, I would definitely, J Baby (everyone check out J Baby, crazy dope duo out of L.A.), Brooke the Low, also got to have Questlove, Teddy Riley, Quincey Jones and Prince.

Deuce: I’d have Questlove on the drums, I’d have… probably have on the keys Zo! (out of Detroit), probably have Prince on guitar or Slash… I don’t know, in terms of bass, a bass player, yea, that’s something I really need to think about! I don’t even know! I’ll have to get back at you on that…

TGLR: That’s a pretty solid group right there! What is your opinion on the newcomers to the music industry is the music class of ’09 going to see a lot of success, or is it merely “over-hyped”?

Deuce: I mean were still newcomers. Were definitely newcomers, CuDi has been doing his thing for a few years now, but he is just getting national attention now. I mean with the access of the internet, people are getting their stuff out there. Big Sean, Drake, KiD CuDi, and hopefully Mike Posner are all on my list. J. Davey is relatively still new, and they are one of my favorite music groups. All these people are going to be blowing up soon!

B. Wright: No, I think that the class of 09’ is just, I mean the skies the limit for everyone, the newcomers in 09’ are bringing something new to the industry. Were getting rid of all the redundancy and old ways of music that we have had in the past few years. All the newcomers are all coming out with something fresh and new.

TGLR: I don’t know if you have had a chance to listen to Asher Roth’s debut release, Asleep in the Bread Aisle, what did you think about it, and where do you think he will go from there?

B. Wright: Oh man, I definitely think that this dude is going to be a superstar. I know that he is someone who Wrigh Trax would love to work with. I have been bangin’ his mixtape from a while ago. Definitely should have picked that up on 4/20.

Deuce: I like it, I love it, everybody is different. I would rather him do him, then him come out and do someone else’s style.

TGLR: I know Big Sean is coming out with an album soon, have you done any specific work on the album?

B. Wright: Yea, we did six tracks on Big Seans album, including the hit single, “Getcha Some.”

Deuce: We did the majority of the album, even on records we didn’t do the music for we had influence on them, just overall helping produce the album as a whole.

TGLR: What is your opinion on music leaks? Are they positive or negative for a musician?

B. Wright: For business, I am against it. I understand that people want to hear the music, hear something new, so I am on the fence about it. At the same time, I want the music to get out, and let the fans hear, I just want it done the right way.

TGLR: Yea, you definitely got it right, from a musicians standpoint, leaks are not a good thing and on the other side, from a fans viewpoint, leaks are fantastic! I mean I feel bad for guys like Lil’ Wayne whose whole album leaked and then had to re-do an entire LP, then again, he sold a fantastic album.

B. Wright: Can’t complain about a million in one week.

TGLR: What are your future plans and works for the upcoming year and the future, who would you like to work with?

B. Wright: Man, were moving fast and forward, were trying to work with everyone that we think are dope. Bringing in newcomers, working with Mike Posner, don’t know if you know him?

Deuce: Michael Jackson, Jay-Z, Freeway, all people we would love to work with.

TGLR: Do you guys ever find musicians and extend a helping hand out to newcomers who have not hit it big yet?

Deuce: Yea, we work with anyone that’s dope, yea. You never know when someone is going to be somebody. I mean Mike Posner is about to blow, he has offers coming in from everywhere, I can tell you stories of Posner of him grinding with us. We were working with us, just that white boy that went to Groves with us. You can tell when someone is going to be big based on their music and their work ethic is dope. That’s the best time to get in with someone.

TGLR: Haha, we are huge Mike Posner fans over here at TGLR, saw him over at Revive when he was in Michigan! Big Mike Posner fan…

B. Wright: Oh yea, that’s what’s up! Just trying to keep what we got going, things going in an upward motion.

TGLR: Have you ever thought of bringing in a bunch of musicians who are from Detroit and doing like a live performance here?

B. Wright: That has definitely came across my mind, I am head of Finally Famous with Brandon Washington. We put together a lot of events for the Detroit area. We set up that mixtape release for Big Sean and Mike Posner.

TGLR: It would be really neat to see up and coming musicians whose stuff hasn’t circulated yet to get out there, do their thing on stage and be able to represent Detroit. Detroit really does have a lot of musicians, and I think that as a state, people don’t recognize us as a big time musician producing area. I mean we have Eminem, and now Big Sean… But there are so many other great musicians in the area that just haven’t hit it big yet. I think a concert or Detroit music festival would really help get a lot of Detroit-based musicians going with their careers!

B. Wright: Everyone has been busy, and it is something that we want to do.

TGLR: What is your opinion on KiD CuDi, dude has been blowing up as of late and taking the music industry by storm.

B. Wright: Oh yea, big supporter of CuDi. Actually got to meet him out in LA, we were doing work with Big Sean and Kanye and got to see CuDi do his thing out there. He has crazy melodies.

TGLR: What makes someone a good musician? Do they just have to have the ability to rap, or should they also be able to sing?

B. Wright: I think they have to be able to bring something new to the table. Whether it is their style or their voice, something. Swag, I mean there is just a lot!

TGLR: Thanks for taking the time and doing this interview with us, we really appreciate it, and we look forward to hearing more of your work in the future!

Wrigh Trax: Yea, anytime, hit us up and let us know!

Well I had a very interesting day yesterday, aside from it being busy with tons of posts and updates and twitter and what not, it included a, "Freestyle" Interview with Charles Hamilton.  Now why do I say "Freestyle?"  The answer is simple... I never planned on this interview to happen.  I sort of wanted to just set a date and time with him, but he was rearing to go with it, so we did the interview off the dome.  Check the interview below, and a big thank you goes out to Charles Hamilton for the interview.

Charles Hamilton: Wassup?

TGLR: Not much man, how are things for you?

Charles Hamilton: Blessed, happy to be alive

TGLR: yea yea, that's good... so i gotta ask you, what was the inspiration and idea behind the making of that sick song, "Brooklyn Girls"?

Charles Hamilton: It was just a freestyle, an old beat, felt like comin' off the top and I had some things to get off my chest, kinda the usual

TGLR: Yea yea, it is pretty dope, especially for a freestyle!  Now you have been putting out a ton of mixtapes (or music projects as you call them), where do you get all these crazy beats and all the lyrics for all these songs!?

Charles Hamilton: I make like 99% of my beats and I write my own stuff, so its very organic.

TGLR: That's dope, a lot of work put into it though, which you don't really see from some musicians in today's music industry.

Charles Hamilton: I'm not focused on the old way of the business

TGLR: Yea, that's good, it is great for the industry to have guys like yourself, Asher Roth, KiD CuDi, and B.o.B... What is your opinion on them?

Charles Hamilton: They're all good artists, but to be 100%, I'm so focused on getting myself out there, as well as my artists, that I don't really check for many people.  I appreciate what they bring to the table, but I have several goals.  When the time is right, I'll be able to sit back and be a fan.

TGLR: No man, I hear yea... that's good though.  Now, out of all your musical works, I got to say that Well Isn't This Awkward has been my favorite... take me through the creation and making of that mixtape.

Charles Hamilton: Believe it or not, it's about 2 years in the making.  MAD throw away songs, mad demos, rough drafts.  My whole thing was if I'ma be with Rihanna, I'm gonna go HARD.  Listened to mad of her music OUTSIDE of what I already felt about her and when the time was right, I recorded it in like 2-3 days. I didn't wanna look like a stalker, or ungenuine

TGLR: I hear yea, haha, but that stuff was dope, now my friend Max (Over @ The Revolution Will Be Tape Recorded) submitted a question for me to ask you a long time ago, so I guess I will just go ahead and pose the question!  He wanted me to ask you "about c food and if he watches a lot of family guy cuz he samples it here"

Charles Hamilton: It's a funny show, but that wasn't the only premise of the song.  What am I supposed to do when I feel good about being me, but got no one to share such joy with?  Nothing to do but watch Family Guy and talk about halloucinating about sh1t, haha.

 
TGLR: Haha, I feel ya... so what influences you to do what you do!?

Charles Hamilton: Life, flashbacks, and the promise of sh1t gettin' better on the strength of open-minded music listening

TGLR: Yea, that's good, seems to be working out for you!

Charles Hamilton: One can pray

TGLR: Now tell me a bit more about your upcoming album! There sure is a buzz about the blogs!

Charles Hamilton: It's called "This Perfect Life", and it has 11 songs talking about the ills of the world and more specifically, how to move on.  I don't ask questions in it, if you listen you'll understand.  To make listening more of a focused act, it's digitally mastered to sound OLDER than it really is, which is my overall sound, thus making the album an AudiBook, the first of its kind.

TGLR: Yea, sounds real legit, I hope I got enough saved up to buy it, stuff is getting expensive now a day! What are your views on iTunes vs. Buying LP's at a store?

Charles Hamilton: iTunes has some gems, but you can be more hands on buying LP's

TGLR: True true... Do you think that album and single leaks on blogs are good or bad?

Charles Hamilton: Depends on the quality of song and artist

TGLR: Let's say you have a really great song, but a crappy artist (like a one hit wonder, i.e. Soulja Boy's Superman Song)

Charles Hamilton: Well it's funny, I wouldn't say Soulja Boy is a crappy artist anymore, and I didn't say he was before, I just didn't want our lanes confused.

TGLR: Oh no, I was just refrencing that, I am personally not a big Soulja Boy fan...  Haha, not trying to get you and Soulja mixed up, no worries

Charles Hamilton: Honestly, I don't like calling artists crappy anymore, that makes creating competitive... Are we competing or sharing?

TGLR: I like to think that musicians share... but sadly in today's industry it is the other way around.

Charles Hamilton: Well, that's why I got my lane

 
TGLR: I hear ya, and that's what makes you unique and special

Charles Hamilton: Thank you

TGLR: Anytime, any collaborations on the upcoming LP?

Charles Hamilton: Show Tufli, Crooked I

TGLR: So guys from your group... no Asher Roth's or anyone like that?

Charles Hamilton: No

TGLR: I see, well that's still cool, it's good to see musicians not adding on other people sometimes, gives you a true feel for who they are.  Alright, my last question.  I recently spotted a video on Hood News that featured you and a female. During the video, you start a rap battle and the video ends with her punching you in the face... care to explain/elaborate?

Charles Hamilton: No, I said all I need to say.  The situation is over

TGLR: Fair enough, thanks for taking the time to answer these questions and I guess I will talk to you at some other point, much love and good luck with the album!

Charles Hamilton: Thanks

Check Back Here For More Charles Hamilton Updates & More Interviews!!!

Hopefully you've caught on by now, but we here at TGLR love to do interviews in order to get to know an artist better by asking cool and personal questions that other guys just don't have the balls to ask. In our latest scan of the internet for dope vids we came across Josh X-an-tus, and really started digging his stuff. He is an up and coming RnB artist, and has a lot to offer. Take for example his song "Let's Ride" featuring Jadakiss. He features a well known artist, sings like theres no tomorrow, and has an ill music video to go along with it (Click Here for Music Video). In addition, he's a real playa and knows what he's doing. Check out the interview down below:


We know that we can't leave you at that, so we wanted to offer a few samples for you to check out as well:

Josh X-an-tus: "CPR"

Josh X-an-tus: "In Love With 2"

TGLR: Hey Mike, How Are Things Going?

Mike Posner: Everything is great! I’m in Daytona Beach for a show, it’s wild down here.

TGLR: So, I was wondering how you got involved in the music industry. Would you mind telling your fans the journey you have taken to get to this place in your life?

Mike Posner: Well, I started playing drums in 5th grade. By age 13 I was making beats and about a year ago I decided to stop giving all the good beats away! In the middle of my junior year at Duke University (which I just finished) I released a mixtape with DJ Benzi and Don Cannon and here I am!

TGLR: Is this something that you have always wanted to do, I mean many kids out there say they want to be NBA players, or Movie stars. Was being a musician your childhood dream?

Mike Posner: Once I started making music I knew I would do it for the rest of my life. When I was younger I didn’t know exactly what role music would play or how successful I would be but I always knew music would be a part of my life forever.

TGLR: When did you know that music could become your future profession?

Mike Posner: When I wrote Cooler Than Me.

TGLR: Do you play an instrument?

Mike Posner: I played drums and I’ve taught myself piano over the years.

TGLR: In your opinion, what makes a song a, “classic,” and what songs do you consider to be “classics”?

Mike Posner: In the end music effects each person differently so my classics will different from yours because we could have different experiences and memories attached to different songs.

Juicy – obviously, haha
Eric Clapton – Old Love (unplugged version)
The Killers – Mr. Brightside (Thin White Duke Remix)
Michael Andrews/Gary Jules – Mad World
…just to name a few.

TGLR: Now I know that as of right now, you are unsigned, but if you had one dream record label to sign with, who would it be?

Mike Posner: I’m not really sure, still deciding on that as I meet the people that run the various companies. I should come to decision soon.

TGLR: Your upcoming album is entitled, The New Deal, is there any significance to the name?

Mike Posner: It came from FDR’s economic policies during the Great Depression. I got the name Brain Trust because that was the name of his advisors/cabinet.

TGLR: Are there going to be any featured guests on the album? I would assume Big Sean, your fellow Detroiter, will make an appearance on the album seeing as he has been on two or three tracks with you on your mixtape and his own. Are there any other guests to be featured on the album besides Big Sean?

Mike Posner: Can’t talk about that yet! I’m actually going to do another mixtape in the fall as a back to school present for everyone, haha. I’m working a lot on that right now.

TGLR: Alright, I don’t mean to start a competition between you and your buddy Big Sean, but you got to let me know who you think is better at the following dances (The Soulja Boy, The Lean Back, Crumping, Crip Walking, The Carlton & The Macarena)?

Mike Posner:
The Soulja Boy:
Big Sean

The Lean Back:
Big Sean

Crumping:
Big Sean

Crip Walk:
Big Sean

The Carlton:
ME!

The Macarena:
ME!

TGLR: Where does most of your primary recording for your tracks take place?
Now I understand that you produce your own beats, and also do your own lyrics, which is very unheard of now a day in the music industry. How do you go about producing a beat (either for yourself or for someone else)? Break it down for us step by step?

Mike Posner: Every song you’ve heard by me I did in my dorm room @ Duke. My work on my mixtape has moved me up into some nicer spots nowadays!

TGLR: What got you into music, what influences and inspires you to make music and do what you do as a musician?

Mike Posner: I do write my own lyrics. The thing I love about producing is its different every time. There no formula to making a hot track, it’s something you need to work at and stumble upon every time. At least for me!

TGLR: What is your opinion on blogs on the Internet?

Mike Posner: As I said earlier, I started on the drums in 5th grade. Other musician inspires me, Big Sean inspires me, real life inspires me, this beautiful lady I’m video chatting with right now (Amanda Noelle Colbert) inspires me! haha

TGLR: What is your take on music being leaked onto the Internet? I know that many musicians dislike it and see it as an obstacle to overcome and that it sometimes ruins and destroys an album (like Tha Carter III, when the whole album leaked early and forced Weezy to re-create the whole thing), but are there any positive parts about music leaking on the Internet?

Mike Posner: I mean, its created an avenue for someone like myself to put themselves on the map and get noticed with not label and no support. I leak my stuff on purpose because I want everyon to have it! I don’t care about the money.

TGLR: I am sure that you have been very busy performing around the country (and possibly out of the country), would you mind sharing what you go through before a performance? Many people do some crazy stuff before they go out and perform, whether it is a sports player, a public speaker, or even a musician!

Mike Posner: I don’t do anything that crazy. I try to drink some tea with honey to warm up my voice. Then I just like to dance around and get my energy up. Sorry if that wasn’t juicy enough.

TGLR: Which do you prefer to do more, perform live, or do your thing in the studio? I am always scared of big crowds and of publicity, so I would make an awful musician, but some people crave that limelight!

Mike Posner: It’s such a different experience. I’ve never really thought about it. As my mom used to say about my sister and I, I love you both equally.

TGLR: Do you feel different when you perform in your hometown as opposed to other states around the country?

Mike Posner: Definitely, it feels special to see faces you recognize in the crowd. It’s creates a warm feeling to know that your hometown is behind you.

TGLR: So tell us Mike Posners most embarrassing moment, I mean everyone has one!

Mike Posner: I had just finished my set @ one of my Duke shows and there was like a hole in the back of the stage. I stepped in it and half fell off the stage! I don’t think anyone really noticed except for the people in the front row. It was so bad though!

TGLR: How do you balance college life and classes, all the while being musician and performing live around the country?

Mike Posner: It’s definitely tough but it helps that my peers and professors are really rooting for me. A lot of my teachers are understanding when I have to skip town and my classmates help me stay caught up. I’m really grateful for everyone’s support.

TGLR: What is your main goal, to be an artist or a producer, or both?

Mike Posner: Both!

TGLR: This year is filled with tons of up and coming musicians, including yourself! If you could pick your top five upcoming musicians who would they be?

Mike Posner: Tough question, I need 6!

1. Me
   
2. Big Sean
   
3. Drake! So dope!
   
4. CuDi
   
5. Ash Roth
   
6. Wale
   

We Want To Thank Mike Posner For Taking The Time Out Of His Busy Schedule To Do This Interview With Us... We Understand That Being A College Student/Musician/Normal Person Can Lead To A Very Busy Life!!!  Check Back With Us For More Mike Posner Updates And Some More Exclusive Stuff From The Up And Coming Musician!!!

TGLR: Hey Adrian, how are things going?

Adrian Champion: Things are good… How about with yourself?

TGLR: Things are alright man!

TGLR: Who is Adrian Champion?

Adrian Champion: I’m a perfectionist. I aspire to be a renaissance man, really! I want to master everything that I do. I’m pretty normal as far as artists go, I don’t think I’m as out there creatively as most artists, I think I’m a rare breed though. I haven’t met too many people like myself.

TGLR: What makes you so unique and special as apposed to other musicians in the music game?

Adrian Champion: I think what makes me unique isn’t one particular characteristic, but rather the rare combination of things. There are a bunch of people now who rap, and produce, and even sing, but I don’t think too many people can do it at my level in all areas, to be honest. I know that sounds cocky, but I try to objective about everything I come across, and there are some talented cats out there.

TGLR: Was this you as a kid, or did you develop into this lack of a mold?

Adrian Champion: You know, I realized as a kid. My dad would tell me not to spread myself too thin. He told me I should focus on becoming the best at something. I discovered that my real gift was not necessarily being the single best person at one thing, but instead, being close to the best at a wide range of things. So from writing, to performing, producing, then the design and the marketing side of things, to the business development, my strength is excelling at multiple things. There are better designers, better emcees even, but when it comes to just that one thing, there are folks born to do that one thing, and they’re geniuses at it. But I can create an entire project from scratch, right down to delivering it to the public. Basically wear a lot of different hats well. Content is huge too, because in Hip-Hop, a lot of times that really lacks, in my opinion.

TGLR: For sure, I agree that it seems to be a lost art…

Adrian Champion: Yea, unfortunately

TGLR: Where do you think music comes from, the soul, the heart, or the lust for money?

Adrian Champion: I think good music comes from the soul, for lack of a better term. It’s like some unexplainable place. Truly inspired music, you can tell instantly, but a lot of people make lesser music that clearly comes from another place. Although, that said, different things may serve as inspirations. So, you might be hungry in a sense to escape your circumstances, but the music itself comes from somewhere else.

TGLR: Is there a day in your life that you question the path you have chosen?

Adrian Champion: Yea, there are a lot of them, haha. I guess we all go through ups and downs and learn lessons in our own way, and at a certain point, you have to step back and ask yourself if you’re headed in the right direction, and sometimes, you have to adjust your course. I think life has a way of letting you know if you’re on the right track or not, you just have to pay attention to the signs.

TGLR: You’re a very talented musician, one who can do it all, but since it seems as though you haven’t really hit it big yet, how do you manage to live in LA and support yourself?

Adrian Champion: I’m lucky, I’ve been blessed with other talents and skills so I can do design work and make a living. It makes up a lot of my time, but it’s better than doing something mindless, and I can make decent money. I do graphic and web design, like I did all the artwork for S&S and the website, etc.

TGLR: What are some of your favorite spots to hit up in LA?

Adrian Champion: Man, there are soooo many places to go in LA. As far as clubs, it changes all the time, different promoters, and they remodel places and reopen them all the time. Man, I can’t even really say specific spots, there are just too many! LA has something for everybody on every night, it’s easy to get caught up on that.

TGLR: I hear ya man; it is a huge place!

Adrian Champion: Yea, insane.

TGLR: Where do you see yourself in 5 years? Where do you want to go?

Adrian Champion: I see myself as a more established and respected solo artist. Developing my own artists and writing and producing for others. I want to move in different directions creatively, continuing to grow as a musician, playing more instruments, and getting ready to use that platform to do other things outside of music.

TGLR: Yea, well you seem as though you are well on your way to doing just that!

Adrian Champion: I hope so, I know it won’t be all smooth sailing. But I feel like things are falling into place and I’m doing everything I can to make it happen.

TGLR: That’s good, you got motives, and I am sure that that will take you far in the music industry.

Adrian Champion: Knock on Wood

TGLR: We hear you're working on your solo album. What are you working on these days?

Adrian Champion: Yea, working on the solo project and I’ve been working with a singer/songwriter named Brian Jacobs, who is really talented. I featured him on Stars & Stripes. Also I am writing and producing, submitting tracks for other musicians who are working on their next albums.

TGLR: Sounds like you are one busy guy!

Adrian Champion: Yea, I like it that way though, but I definitely have my hands full.

TGLR: If you could define yourself in a few words what would they be?

Adrian Champion: In a few words, I’d say I’m capable of more than I know, and leave it open ended. I feel like in a simpler sense, I’m a good person. Like, aside from music, that’s important to me, and I’m proud of it. I’m not perfect, but I try to like my life in a certain way, and I’m good with that.

TGLR: Is Adrian Champion a mixer (aka Stars and Stripes) or a musician waiting to break out of his shell?

Adrian Champion: You know, the funny thing is I knew people would develop a certain idea of me based solely on Stars & Stripes and that was a little risky. Then you have to convince people that you’re more than that, but it was to compelling of a project not to do it. But really, S&S isn’t my typical work, I was an emcee before anything, but I started producing around the same time and I’ve been playing guitar on and off since I was about 12. So, I really feel like this is all the tip of the iceberg, I can’t wait to see what I come up with next.

TGLR: If you could create a “dream track” for an album, what would it be? (By dream track, we mean like if you could assign musicians to play instruments, sing certain parts, and produce certain beats)

Adrian Champion: I’d have to go real big, like an entire symphony. I’d have Questlove on the drums. It would have to be insane, yea, I mean, it’s a dream, right? Might as well be crazy! Quest is the only drummer I’ve heard who really sounds like Hip-Hop, I’de love to work with the Black Keys too… So Dan Auerbach, Questlove, and like any philharmonic and I’m good. Might have to throw Stevie Wonder in on the keys for good measure man, that would be super ill, that trio alone.

TGLR: What's your favorite movie? (Don't worry if you can't answer this question, it's pretty tough)

Adrian Champion: Choosing one is pretty tough, Fight Club is up there, Snatch too, but on nostalgia alone, I might have to say The Goonies, City of God was amazing. Slumdog Millionaire was fresh

ICECrush: Dang SoSickWitItYo, we are young…

SoSickWitItYo: Well speak for yourself, I’m a huge Goonies fan!

Adrian Champion: Seriously? It’s a Spielberg movie, honestly, it’s a classic. Wow, making me feel like an old man!

TGLR: What kind of music did you grow up on?

Adrian Champion: I got a little of everything, Classic Rock & Funk from my pops, and Hip-Hop and Pop from the radio. Some Folk from my Mom. Hip-Hop exposed me to a lot of other genres, so there I’d learn about Jazz and Funk a lot more and Soul of course.

TGLR: Yea, Hip-Hop ties in a lot of different genres.

Adrian Champion: Yea, I think that’s why it can’t really die, because it can evolve and adapt to any movement.

TGLR: Why LA?

Adrian Champion: Well I moved to Cali to go to school and my Mom lived out here, so it was a natural move. I was in the Bay for a couple years, which is where I met other cats doing music and I started working with folks. So after a couple years, I realized that I had a gift for it. A couple of friends lived in LA and I’d come down all the time to work on stuff. Eventually, I felt like it was all or nothing, so I took the leap.

TGLR: LA vs. Detroit?

Adrian Champion: Well, I grew up in the Flint Area, but I think LA wins regardless, depending on what we’re comparing every place has it’s pro’s and con’s. Life is pretty good here, you can get spoiled in a way. You can also get jaded or lost in some of the craziness, so you have to watch your step. The weather, the girls, the opportunity, hard to compete with all that. As long as you can deal with the traffic and some of the bull crap.

TGLR: Advice for the kids out there?

Adrian Champion: Do what you love, work hard, take chances…

ICECrush: Watch the Goonies…

Adrian Champion: And watch the Goonies!!! Dang, still can’t believe that, haha!

TGLR: Mac or PC?

Adrian Champion: Prefer the Mac, but affordability, you have to side with the PC. I’m going 100% Mac soon though, and looking forward to it.

TGLR: Subway or Quiznos?

Adrian Champion: Ha, I try to avoid both, but I’ll say Subway, just because it seems a little healthier.

TGLR: TGLR or some other blog?

Adrian Champion: Ha, TGLR of course! Ya’ll showed love from the jump, and I appreciate it.

TGLR: What has inspired you to do what you do? I mean I can’t imagine that it is very profitable to release a mixtape for free, so what’s the deal!?

Adrian Champion: Well, the mixtape/mashup thing was really just to put my name on the radar. That’s a good point, music isn’t a sure thing ever and especially with the way things have been headed there are safer bets. I’m inspired by creating, I just love to start from scratch and create something amazing. I like to be able to communicate with people, to be part of the dialogue, and I love to perform. So, it’s all about doing what I enjoy.

TGLR: What do you think fans really don’t understand the most… Making music, and how hard that is to do, or singing songs and making lyrics?

Adrian Champion: I just think the average fan doesn’t understand whit it takes, like all the people behind the scenes, that make an artist who they are. A lot of the biggest artists get all the accolades and people don’t realize they didn’t write every word or play every note. You need a team in order to reach that point which is something I’ve had to learn myself, because I am such a, “do-it-yourself” type.

TGLR: Now I don’t mean to get all-political on you, but I got to ask, as a young musician, do you fear what the future economy might have in store for your generation? I mean I know I am very scared, and I am just getting out of high school!

Adrian Champion: Yeah, I’m a little nervous, I don’t think anybody really knows where we’re going to end up, and specifically as an artist, it’s unclear how we’re going to fair, but I have confidence that things will work out. There have been crazy times in the past and will be more in the future, you just have to look for opportunities and be innovative about solving certain problems. I know a lot of artists are going to fall by the way side, it’s going to weed a lot of people out.

TGLR: If you were the President of the United States, what would be your solution to the current economy crisis? How would you solve the housing industry problem!?

Adrian Champion: Well, I think we’ve taken some of the steps, but it’s a tremendous balancing act. I think moving us forward technologically is the right general direction and without question, investing our education system, because that’s a stronger commitment to the future of the country. We can’t be short sighted and simply reactionary right now. I think getting people involved like Obama’s campaign did is crucial, re-engaging people. But those are all very general ideas, the specifics are tough. It’s hard to even grasp trillions of dollars. But we definitely need greater oversight and we can’t fall for the deregulation argument again. Every time any industry has been deregulated, large corporations have exploited the situation and we all pay for it.

TGLR: Well, your insight into politics, music, and life in general is very insightful and interesting, thanks for taking the time to sit down and do this interview with us!

Adrian Champion: Yea, no doubt! Thanks for giving me the chance to ramble about myself, haha

TGLR: Anytime!

While browsing Sketches of My Soul, I came across a great interview with none other than the sexxxy Keri Hilson. She talks about what it means to be sexy, and how happy she is to produce music. Music is her life.

After watching the interview, I continued on to the site that produced the interview, 24/7 Hip Hop, and realized that they had some pretty tight interviews with some pretty tight rappers and R&B artists.

"247HH.com gets to the essence of the artist, and brings you inside their world. Each episode includes interviews, exclusive freestyles, music videos, and concert footage. Some of the artists we have already filmed include: Busta Rhymes, Nelly, E-40, TI, Dilated Peoples, Three Six Mafia, D.J.

These Video Podcasts can either be watched here on the site, downloaded to your computer, or put onto any digital video player, just like an audio podcast."

And for your viewing pleasure, I have compiled a set of interviews from our favorite artists:

While we were Tweeting (Follow Us), we got into a conversation with our boy Shashwat Sigdel, and he referred us to a Karmaloop TV interview with KiD CuDi. Due to the fact that KiD CuDi never got back to us to do an interview, we thought we'd just have to settle for this in depth talk to the fans, and not directly to us.

I learned a lot about CuDi in this interview, and think you guys are gonna gain a lot from watching it. He's cool, smart, real, and well-spoken. Here's my favorite part of the interview:

Don't get your deal and run off and go spend your whole budget on like 5 Timbaland beats just 'cuz you feel like you need Timbaland to make hit records. Do not do that. The first thing about being a new artist is establishing your own sounds.

New Yorkers: Watch out for CuDi's HBO Show shot on site in NYC this summer!!!
