Interview with Downside
Downside is an up and coming urban pop group who comes from the uk. Their approach to music is not only in singing but also rapping their own tracks.They are also no stranger to the American hip hop world as they have opened for 50 cent . I was given the privilege to interview Downside. Check out the interview and their video take it away .
Interview
B:How was it like performing for 50 cent?
D:It was one of the best experiences we had in the music industry. To be a warm up act for 50cent and to perform in front of a big crowd was life changing. It’s just a completely different kind of buzz.
B:What is it like being a part of the british hip hop scene?
D:Its good to be a part of the British hip-hop scene, everyday the British hip-hop scene is making history. I remember when we used to say we couldn’t wait for it to blow up and now it’s reality. There are more Hip-hop urban acts from the UK in the charts this year then there has ever been.
B: How did downside get started?
D:Basically we all use to rap together when we use to hang but it was only for fun then we decided we should try and do something productive with it, so we started going to the studio to record tracks and then we saved up money for our first video, it all started from there.
B: Is there any mc that inspired your style?
D:Yeah 2pac inspired us, like him we like to keep our music real, we don’t talk about things we’ve never experienced in life. Everything we say in our music we have done, we like to keep it 100% real.
B: Where did you get your swag?
D:We have always had swag even before the music, our swags natural, we couldn’t turn our swag on because its never off lol
B:What advice do you have for young rappers?
D:If you have got a talent or a dream go for it but make sure you give 100% because you only get what you put in.
B:Whose your dream producer to work with?
D:We would love to work with Pharell Williams, will.I.am and David Guetta because they are the hottest producers out now and everything they touch turns to gold.
B:What is your approach to rapping?
D:To keep it real and positive, and to bring lots of energy to the music.
B: Where do you see yourselves in 5 years?
D:Hopefully we would have cracked the UK market and would have our own record label, we want to bring more UK acts through.
B:How's your fanbase? I mean is it mostly women or mostly men?
D: Our fan base is mixed but its is mainly women. The men like our raps and the women like our swag.

Interview with DBL
DBL is an up and coming r&b artist who comes from the fabulous state of New York. His approach to music is not only in singing but using the magic of mixtures. DBL is a indie artist but has been given the opportunity to work with the likes of neyo. I have given the privilege to interview DBL. Check out the interview below and visit DBL's website.
Interview
B:What is the story behind the record "Superstar"?
D: Superstar kind of came to me and felt like a natural thing to
do. I was thinking about my girlfriend, at that time, a lot
and I just received some beats from my manager so I could work
on my mixtape MY MOMENT. I started listening to the beats and the beat
for "Superstar" fit how I was feeling. The rest is history. What alot
of people don't know about that record is that the whole song started
off as a freestyle that I just perfected and tweaked until it sounded
right.
B:When you're writing do you think about it is played in clubs or in the
bedroom?
D: I try not to think at all when I write. I just let the beat take me where it wants to go. The finished product from that is some club songs and some bedroom songs. So no I don't think this is going to be for the club and this is going to be for the bedroom.
B:What do you classify your music as r&b or urban pop?
D: I'd say is a little bit of both but if I had to choose I would say
r&b. I take from different artists that I look up to and for my own
style from it.
B: Did you always know you were going to be a musician?
D:I did know. I was born into music and have been doing it all my life.
I remember when I was little just zoning out in a day dream just think
about it. I know it probably sounds cliche' but I did lol.
B: Do you use mixtapes to it's fullest like drake or lil kim?
D: Of course I do. I think in today music industry mixtapes are very
powerful avenues to gain fans and just give that raw unrestricted
music. All musicians should use mixtapes to their full and Drake, lil
kim, and lil Wayne did it the best. I look up to them for that.
B: What's the peak moment the stage?
D: To me I think the whole time is a peak moment lol. When I start
singing on stage I just zone out and really try to put on a show.
People come out to be entertained and have a good time. So that's what
I try to do at all points on stage.
B: How are your songs autobiographical?
D:Well all the songs are autobiographical. They all relate to an
experience in my life. I like to give my fans something real.
B:What's the fan reaction to your music ?
D:The fans love the music. Literally everyone that listens to the music
loves it. I just love that they love it and want to keep more songs
coming.
B: How was it like working with Neyo,50 cent,and Snoop dog?
D:It was actually a surprise. A great surprise might I add. While DJ Rob
E Rob was blending my mixtape he reached out to them just to see what
they thought and they loved it and hopped on the mixtapes. Pleasant
surprise when I got it back and heard them on there.
B: What are your plans for the next 5 years?
D;In the next 5 years I plan to take this industry by storm. Its my time
and I'm ready for it.Promotion is definatly high on the list. That
just means Im going to be writing music for myself as well as
others,doing as many shows as possible,getting more radio spins and
really entertaining everyone. I also want to create some capital from
doing these shows so I can invest in some other things I have in mind.
I'll let you know what that is at a later date. The next 5 years will
be busy for me but it will really prove my worth in this game.

Gay rapper
Well not in the homosexual sense. Rather the outdated but purer definition of euphoria. Lil b despite getting death threats is releasing a ep called I'm gay. Not monopolizing on the bully fad just showing love to the lgbt community. The only other rapper to attempt this with the fear of ostracization is nicki minaj.
Death from youtube
