Swampdiggers : Yo, DJ Naxxramas, you are one the most prolific Dungeon Rap producer, you run the label Mystical Place, you are a member of Grave47, an other Dungeon Rap label... But before we go deeper in this scene, could you explain what is your musical background ? Were you a Phonk producer before ? How do you discover Dungeon Rap ? &lt;br class='autobr' /&gt;
DJ Naxxramas : Yo wassap La Phonkerie ! No, I'm no longer a member of grave 047, I threw all my strength into the development of Mystical (&#8230;)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Swampdiggers : Yo, DJ Naxxramas, you are one the most prolific Dungeon Rap producer, you run the label Mystical Place, you are a member of Grave47, an other Dungeon Rap label... But before we go deeper in this scene, could you explain what is your musical background ? Were you a Phonk producer before ? How do you discover Dungeon Rap ?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DJ Naxxramas :&lt;/strong&gt; Yo wassap La Phonkerie ! No, I'm no longer a member of grave 047, I threw all my strength into the development of &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&#034;https://mysticalplace.bandcamp.com/&#034; class=&#034;spip_out&#034; rel=&#034;external&#034;&gt;Mystical Place Records&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br class='autobr' /&gt;
For a couple of years I played in a band on the local scene in my city, we played something between post hardcore and metalcore. A little later I started to get interested in beats and damn it I started recording phonk under the name DJ TRILLANDKILL.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;in 2018 while flipping through the newsfeed i came across a post about the dungeon synth genre, at that time i was actively recording phonk tracks and thought it was great material for sampling, dark and cold atmosphere of lo fi sound, i tried to work with it but nothing worthwhile happened, some time later I heard Dungeon Rap The Introduction from DJ Sacred, this gave rise to my project DJ NAXXRAMAS, I recorded the first tracks on an old Yamaha pss 270 with a Roland sp 404. This is how the first album Frozen Bones vol.0 appeared.&lt;br class='autobr' /&gt;
After a while, I met DJ Sabnak, we started with the single &#034;Dungeon Playa&#034;, my synthesizers and mixing, and drums DJ Sabnak.&lt;br class='autobr' /&gt;
We went ahead and recorded &lt;i&gt;Dungeon Rap The Legacy&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&#034;son&#034;&gt;
&lt;iframe style=&#034;border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;&#034; src=&#034;https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=2774363844/size=large/bgcol=ffffff/linkcol=0687f5/tracklist=false/artwork=small/transparent=true/&#034; seamless&gt;&lt;a href=&#034;https://mysticalplace.bandcamp.com/album/dj-naxxramas-autumn-vibe&#034;&gt;DJ NAXXRAMAS - Autumn Vibe by Mystical Place Records&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;br class='autobr' /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Could you define Dungeon Rap ? What are the main influences of this genre ? Who are the pionneers of this scene ? &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Dungeon Rap is a combination of two different scenes, Memphis Rap and Norwegian Black Metal&lt;br class='autobr' /&gt;
a simple recipe for dungeon rap is to take a sample of dungeon synth music and mix it with a Memphis rap drumline, you can use Memphis acapella for the arrangement, you should end up with a dungeon rap.&lt;br class='autobr' /&gt;
Pioneers of course it's DJ Sacred, DJ Bishop and DJ Sabnak.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What projects/ artists would you recommend to somebody who never heard of Dungeon Rap ?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br class='autobr' /&gt; &lt;br class='autobr' /&gt;
DJ Bishop &#8211; &lt;i&gt;Dungeon Juntz&lt;/i&gt; &lt;br class='autobr' /&gt;
DJ Sacred - &lt;i&gt;Dungeon Rap The Introduction&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br class='autobr' /&gt;
DJ Sabnak x DJ NAXXRAMAS - &lt;i&gt;Dungeon Rap The Legacy&lt;/i&gt; &lt;br class='autobr' /&gt;
Orcaluv - &lt;i&gt;Morgentau &lt;/i&gt; &lt;br class='autobr' /&gt;
Lord Rasnak - &lt;i&gt;Some Old Memories &lt;/i&gt; &lt;br class='autobr' /&gt;
DJ Castle - &lt;i&gt;Mental suffering&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br class='autobr' /&gt; &lt;br class='autobr' /&gt;
I also advise you to pay attention to Dominus soul, Obscure castle, DJ Suicidal szed, Mysterium, Eternal Flame and Cave Castle.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;br class='autobr' /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;I'm sure you're into Dungeon Synth too : are these 2 scenes connected ?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And yes and no , Dungeon synth has separated from the black metal scene , metalheads mostly do not perceive hip hop culture , there are some DS projects that are interested in Dungeon Rap , but there are not many of them, and few people in the DS communities perceive this genre&lt;br class='autobr' /&gt;
So my answer is no rather than yes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class='spip_document_2721 spip_document spip_documents spip_document_image spip_documents_right spip_document_right'&gt;
&lt;figure class=&#034;spip_doc_inner&#034;&gt; &lt;a href='https://www.swampdiggers.com/IMG/jpg/naxxramas_2.jpg' class=&#034;spip_doc_lien mediabox&#034; type=&#034;image/jpeg&#034;&gt; &lt;img src='https://www.swampdiggers.com/local/cache-vignettes/L500xH666/naxxramas_2-8d463.jpg?1656061594' width='500' height='666' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How come there is so many Dungeon producers from Russia, or russian speaking countries ?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I think that due to the fact that the genre appeared among Russian-speaking people, there are no language barriers for people to communicate and work together, I also wonder why there are so many producers, it would be more logical if there were such a number of projects in Europe, since DS music is more refers to European culture.&lt;br class='autobr' /&gt; &lt;br class='autobr' /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;When did you found your own label ? &lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br class='autobr' /&gt; &lt;br class='autobr' /&gt;
We can say that the label appeared on April 1, 2020, on this day my solo album Faceless was released&lt;br class='autobr' /&gt;
Then I began to actively use bandcamp, and after half a year I renamed from DJ NAXXRAMAS to Mystical Place Records.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How did you connect with the artists you make projects with on your label ? &lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br class='autobr' /&gt; &lt;br class='autobr' /&gt;
From the very beginning I made a label for myself in order to publish on behalf of the label, I did not offer anyone to make releases, the guys themselves wrote and asked to make a release for them, since many artists did not know where to get cassettes and how to record and did not even know about the relevance of cassettes on stage.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How many projects did you release already ? How many cassettes ? How do you manage to release so much projects ?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;About 30 projects, 25-50 cassettes each.&lt;br class='autobr' /&gt;
It's my favorite thing to record music, while I was playing in a band, I recorded all the material in guitar pro 5, now times have changed and I work in FL.&lt;br class='autobr' /&gt;
I try to spend all my free time recording music, because I'm still looking for a corporate identity, and I go from project to project.&lt;br class='autobr' /&gt;
There is such an expression &#034;record in the table&#034; I consider it a crime to record and put music in the table, it is always interesting to watch how your music grew and developed after a while.&lt;br class='autobr' /&gt; &lt;br class='autobr' /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;To go deeper in your music, how do you search the samples you use in your tracks ?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I try to use samples as little as possible, for the swords up mix I took samples from the 90s DS&lt;br class='autobr' /&gt;
I think it's perfect for sampling, because the quality of the recording of lo fi sources has this atmosphere in them.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How come do you sample Britney Spears ? or The Cure ?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I don't know where in my music you heard Britney Spears ahahah but The cure, yes.&lt;br class='autobr' /&gt;
I recorded a piece from &#034;A Forest&#034; and developed it into a track &#034;In the silence of the forest&#034;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;br class='autobr' /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Do you work with analog equipment, to have this lofi sound, which is one of the caracteristics of Dungeon Rap ? Or only MAO softwares ?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I try to use all the possibilities according to the situation, somewhere I use a tape for saturation, somewhere only a laptop.&lt;br class='autobr' /&gt;
Of the equipment I only have a cassette deck and a Roland sp 404 A.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class='spip_document_2722 spip_document spip_documents spip_document_image spip_documents_left spip_document_left'&gt;
&lt;figure class=&#034;spip_doc_inner&#034;&gt; &lt;img src='https://www.swampdiggers.com/local/cache-vignettes/L500xH624/nxxramaas_1-d3e51.jpg?1656061594' width='500' height='624' alt='' /&gt;
&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How is Dungeon Rap appreciated in your country ? Is there events, where DJs play Dungeon Rap ? How do you see the evolution of this scene ? Is it undergound by definition, or do you think it could grow and reach a large audience ? &lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There are a lot of producers in Russia, they are scattered all over the country, but all events take place either in Moscow or St. Petersburg.&lt;br class='autobr' /&gt;
But at these events they play Memphis rap, maybe in the future Dungeon Rap will also sound. in short, there are no Dungeon Rap events.&lt;br class='autobr' /&gt;
I don't notice much evolution yet, new producers appear, the scene is growing, Dungeon Rap is now quite canonical, referring to my Dungeon Rap recipe.&lt;br class='autobr' /&gt;
I don't think that music for a large audience will come out of it, for example such as dirty phonk house or drift phonk, because there are more car enthusiasts who will drive to this music than lovers of the Middle Ages, armor and swords.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;br class='autobr' /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;We saw that the Phonk scene grew very fast, and became kind of &#034;mainstream&#034;, at least some tracks make a lot of streams, but due to the explosion of Drift Phonk, which is only a sub-genre of Phonk, and not because of a real recognition of the Phonk cultur in its globality. Do you agree with that feeling ? What's your opinion about it ?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I think it's cool when a sub genre shoots louder than the genre itself.&lt;br class='autobr' /&gt;
Music is one big experiment, it would be strange if such a branch of new music did not go from phonk.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;br class='autobr' /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;And, if we step out the artistic field for a moment, has the political situation an impact on your music ? On the way you produce, or spread,or promote it ? &lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With writing music, the situation has not changed, I still have the opportunity to record it, with distribution it has become more difficult, I can't corny pay for a soundcloud account.&lt;br class='autobr' /&gt;
Since PayPal left Russia my Mystical Place Records band card is not working so I made all the music free to download because people spend money to support my work and the money goes to bandcamp and since paypal is gone it doesn't Can I translate them.&lt;br class='autobr' /&gt;
Now I accept all orders via mail or instagram.&lt;br class='autobr' /&gt;
I'm currently working on a guitar album, tentatively called Fallen pt.2, I don't know yet, maybe the title will be different.&lt;br class='autobr' /&gt; &lt;br class='autobr' /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;What are you working on now ? cassettes, solos, collabs ?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Along the way, I'm working on a Memphis rap album for the DJ TRILLANDKILL project.&lt;br class='autobr' /&gt;
Of course there will be cassettes, soon I will start recording the album DJ NAXXRAMAS - Saturn.&lt;br class='autobr' /&gt; &lt;br class='autobr' /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;What could we wish you for the future ?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Wish me to be released on vinyl, this is my dream to hold and listen to a record with my music, it's time for Dungeon Rap to take new formats, and where there are new formats, there are new listeners.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Thank you, NAXXRAMAS !&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks for the questions and for the opportunity, I appreciate it. Big shout out from Russia &lt;br class='autobr' /&gt;
Swords Up !&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How long have you been doing music ?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; I've been doing music my whole life, Violin at age 4, Trumpet starting in grade school, but I also taught myself guitar, piano, and saxophone as a kid. I don't play as many instruments these days but about 7-8 years ago when I was about 12 I started writing songs. The first song I recorded and uploaded was in 2015 I think but it was not the same &#171; emo &#187; style I have today.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Music was always important in my family, since they made me do violin as a four year old haha, but both my mom and dad have always had really good tastes in music, which has definitely helped shaped mine.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What are your inspirations ?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My inspirations are mostly a mix of the various genres of music i grew up on ; (indie, grunge, alternative, trap, emo rock) but my biggest are probably bands like Blink-182 and Green Day which I listened to from an early age and Lil Peep, who i discovered pretty early on in his career and he reminded me of those bands a lot, and I was really into Hip-Hop also, so I was like woah this is awesome. Also heartbreak and me being lonely and sad sometimes were big inspirations.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Honestly in Hip-Hop I've always been inspired by Mac Miller. When he released &lt;i&gt;Blue Slide Park&lt;/i&gt; I was in middle school and it was crazy everybody loved that album. Even earlier than that I was inspired by Lil Wayne, Drake, Eminem, Nas, and Jeezy in like 5th grade when I would download songs on my little iPod Shuffle. Good times&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&#034;son&#034;&gt;
&lt;iframe width=&#034;100%&#034; height=&#034;166&#034; scrolling=&#034;no&#034; frameborder=&#034;no&#034; allow=&#034;autoplay&#034; src=&#034;https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/728258965&amp;color=%23ff5500&amp;auto_play=false&amp;hide_related=false&amp;show_comments=true&amp;show_user=true&amp;show_reposts=false&amp;show_teaser=true&#034;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Is the subject of the song &#171; &lt;i&gt;Fuck Drugs Anthem&lt;/i&gt; &#187; important to you ?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yes, &lt;i&gt;Fuck Drugs Anthem&lt;/i&gt; is basically me swearing off drugs and saying fuck all of em except weed. I OD'd last summer and i used to be hooked on Percocets and Xanax. I've also lost a lot of people close to me from drugs so it is a very important subject to me.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Is there in your EP &lt;i&gt;Castle Kickback&lt;/i&gt; a reference to the the &lt;i&gt;Castles I&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;II&lt;/i&gt; by Lil Peep and Lil Tracy &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There isn't a direct reference to &lt;i&gt;Castles 1&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;2&lt;/i&gt; in the EP, but I did say rip peep, and him and tracy are 2 of my favorite artists of all time. But the castle thing came from me always being fascinated by castles, and other gothic architecture, I really liked art history in college and i used to play games like Runescape from like age 7-16, so lots of castles haha.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Great cover art for &lt;i&gt;Castle Kickback&lt;/i&gt;. It's from the anime &lt;i&gt;The Castle of Cagliostro&lt;/i&gt;. I am a huge fan of it, and the work of Miyazaki ! Do you like it ?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;YES ! Thank you for recognizing it ! :) I was put onto Miyazaki when I was probably 5-6 by my dad. Ever since then I have been in love with every Miyazaki/Studio Ghibli film there is, especially &lt;i&gt;Kiki's Delivery Service&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;Spirited Away&lt;/i&gt;, and &lt;i&gt;Princess Mononoke&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Do you have some projects or collabs to come in 2020 ?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yes, I'm planning on dropping my first full-length mixtape sometime in 2020, but no collabs yet that i'm aware of other than probably some with my friends, which i haven't gotten to do yet :)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Who did the prods on your tracks ?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Most of my prods are either my friend Sam the wizard who i mentioned earlier, or people who have linked me or sent me their beats to use. &lt;i&gt;Love Me Like Im Dead&lt;/i&gt; which is my biggest track was Guala Beatz and he gave me permission for that beat. I want to produce all of my own beats on my mixtape though.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Can we still listen the music you were uploaded before &#171; Noface &#187; ?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here is &lt;a href=&#034;https://soundcloud.com/user-207046931/ineedawood-prod-sam-the-wizard&#034; class=&#034;spip_out&#034; rel=&#034;external&#034;&gt;some of the music i made&lt;/a&gt;, it was me and my main producer (Sam the wizard) just messing around in his basement and I do have older music but its just freestyles I made in high school.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Do you plan to put your songs on Apple Music and Spotify ?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I plan to release music on Apple Music and Spotify this year when I release my first full-length tape. :)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Thank you, keep up the good work :)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

		&lt;div class='rss_chapo'&gt;&lt;p&gt;An interview with Trel Itz a Hit, one of the most important producers of the new generation in Louisianna.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
		&lt;div class='rss_texte'&gt;&lt;p&gt;Since 2011, &lt;strong&gt;Str8 Up Ent&lt;/strong&gt;, video media platform, wants to highlight the production of Baton Rouge and New Orleans. If artists such as &lt;strong&gt;Maine Musik&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;TEC&lt;/strong&gt; or&lt;strong&gt; NBA YoungBoy &lt;/strong&gt; start to be established in the musical business ; &lt;strong&gt;70Street Carlos&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;WNC Whop Bezzy&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Muzik Larry Jungle&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Almighty Que&lt;/strong&gt; and others, are backed by productivity from &lt;strong&gt;ItzAHitStudios&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There's not a month without the drums of the prolific producer of Louisiana. In the pure tradition inherited from founding fathers such as &lt;strong&gt;Mannie Fresh&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;KLC&lt;/strong&gt;, Trel ItzaHit excels in the art of reinventing the past and building a certain future for the young scene.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He gets inspiration in the brass and their resonances the spirit of brass bands, carnival, blues, second lines. Added to the electricity of bounce music, and muffled sounds, as if taking the head out of the water of the bayou, it gives you an idea of the atmosphere created by Trel.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;About the past, present and future of Louisiana's capital city sound.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What's your first music memory as a child ?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My first music memory as a child would have to be going and watch Southern University marching band, growing up. Southern University marching band for sure.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&#034;https://youtu.be/c1ENmKU9MnI&#034; class=&#034;spip_url spip_out auto&#034; rel=&#034;nofollow external&#034;&gt;https://youtu.be/c1ENmKU9MnI&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;With 70th Street Carlos you have shown your talents of producer and your style from &#171; Keep A Glock &#187;, &#171; Bag It Up &#187; to &#171; Ding Dong &#187;, who definitely put you on the list of great Louisiana producers. &#171; Bang Out &#187; &#171; Cross Me &#187; or &#171; Put that on the gang &#187; got you a wider audience, did you get more contacts after those hits ?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yeah after producing for Carlos I definitely got a lot more recognition, I guess you could say that. I kind of like was already a in&#8208;house name in Baton Rouge cause I guess I've been putting beats up for over 10 years. So a lot of the rappers that be it today they grew up, first started rapping, learning how to rap listening to my beats. So by the time they got 17, 18 years old, they already had it in their mind like shit when I get up there I'm a get on one of Trel beats, so they would all know about Trel. I would definitely say Carlos' success added to the buzz.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&#034;https://youtu.be/jbWRzKGokSc&#034; class=&#034;spip_url spip_out auto&#034; rel=&#034;nofollow external&#034;&gt;https://youtu.be/jbWRzKGokSc&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&#034;https://youtu.be/zoDtSLxjMEg&#034; class=&#034;spip_url spip_out auto&#034; rel=&#034;nofollow external&#034;&gt;https://youtu.be/zoDtSLxjMEg&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Did you grow up in a musical environment ? &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I definitely grew up in a music environment, being from Baton Rouge who's deeply rooted in marching bands, rap, blues, I listened to a lot of blues growing up. I played drums going up too.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Baton Rouge is right up the street from New Orleans, so we definitely spent a lot of time there going to see Second Line bands and different parades.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&#034;https://youtu.be/Z20lztZOKOE&#034; class=&#034;spip_url spip_out auto&#034; rel=&#034;nofollow external&#034;&gt;https://youtu.be/Z20lztZOKOE&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&#034;https://youtu.be/wnuCovfitn8&#034; class=&#034;spip_url spip_out auto&#034; rel=&#034;nofollow external&#034;&gt;https://youtu.be/wnuCovfitn8&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Put That On Gang &#187; has plenty Louisiana brass instruments, have you ever played in a band ?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I never played in a band, but I did grow up playing drums though. I pretty much came out the womb playing drums, I used to play on buckets and shit, make my drums out of any fuckin thing I could find. On my 3rd or 4th birthday my grandmother got me a set of drums, it was history ever since.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&#034;https://youtu.be/pJZisMiDy-A&#034; class=&#034;spip_url spip_out auto&#034; rel=&#034;nofollow external&#034;&gt;https://youtu.be/pJZisMiDy-A&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&#034;https://youtu.be/CpGDT2rIVtc&#034; class=&#034;spip_url spip_out auto&#034; rel=&#034;nofollow external&#034;&gt;https://youtu.be/CpGDT2rIVtc&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You've been working with young rappers, 70th Street Carlos, WNC Whop Bezzy, Jungle Muzik Larry, Que Almighty ... , are you planning on working on a full album or tape with some of them ?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As far as doing a full album for people like Carlos, WNC Whoop Beezy, Jungle Music Larry, Q Amighty, both the BG sons, Soulja Slim's son, Mia X's son, (so many I could name) there's a lot of people that's buzzing right now that is more so the fans be asking for it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Like man I ought to do a whole mixtape with Trel Itzahit, you can see in the comments and stuff like that. But out of all the people I produce for I would say 70th street Carlos he reaches out to them the most.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We got like the most work together, we have discussed doing a mixtape like that, working on something together but we must sit down and come together and really plan it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We never really put it in motion but everybody wants it, you can see comments on it all the time. The streets asking for it so I think that product would definitely be my up and coming thing, and also with BG's sons&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&#034;https://youtu.be/qZdS2iAK3Bc&#034; class=&#034;spip_url spip_out auto&#034; rel=&#034;nofollow external&#034;&gt;https://youtu.be/qZdS2iAK3Bc&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&#034;https://youtu.be/JS9TPsF7ar0&#034; class=&#034;spip_url spip_out auto&#034; rel=&#034;nofollow external&#034;&gt;https://youtu.be/JS9TPsF7ar0&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You just opened your own studio ItzAHitStudios in record, mix master &amp; production, with Biggz, what are your plans ? Create a label ? A team with more producers ?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Me, Biggz and Busy we've been rocking with each there since high school days, we've been into music doing our own separate thing. But as we got older we started really hanging out with each other, and decided let's get together and make an empire, let's make a brand. Not necessarily a label, we're not trying to push a label, but it's more so a brand.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So if you're coming to get beats from us, you getting a good brand of beats, if you're coming to record, you're going to get a good quality brand of recording. Not just for people in Baton Rouge but for people in surrounding areas and from out of state can come and really see and taste and feel what that true Baton Rouge culture sounds like. Sometimes you feel like other people don't do it the right way, sometimes you gotta take it upon yourself and try to make it happen. That how we ended up getting together and coming up with the studio, and it's been running well ever since we came up with the idea so I'm glad we chose to do that.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A lot of DJs come up with albums or mixtapes, some even rap on their own music, would you be into that ?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Beat mixtape is in the works, I get a lot of requests from people about doing a whole mixtape but as far as me getting to the rap game, I can rap, I mean every producer have rapped at some point in their life. I used to actually rap, you know, was good at it, but I also made beats, and at the time, beats weren't cheap, so you couldn't just simply go on YouTube and get them where you wanted, you had to learn to make your own. By me being a natural drummer, it just naturally came together as far as me putting the brass sounds together with the 808, and it just created a new sound, it went together, it was different than what everybody was doing at the time but it was still Louisiana, and it basically got better and better.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Can you name 3 albums from Louisiana that changed your life ?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;3 albums they changed my life. My top 3, I will put one stronger than all the others but of course I will say BG &#8208; Chopper City and BG &#8208; Chopper City In The Ghetto who would be the first two. And the third would be Lil Handy &#8208; Rap Hustlin.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&#034;https://youtu.be/9nefncSFFJI&#034; class=&#034;spip_url spip_out auto&#034; rel=&#034;nofollow external&#034;&gt;https://youtu.be/9nefncSFFJI&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&#034;https://youtu.be/OSavMAnSTF8&#034; class=&#034;spip_url spip_out auto&#034; rel=&#034;nofollow external&#034;&gt;https://youtu.be/OSavMAnSTF8&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Best 3 tracks you've heard lately ?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The last tracks I heard last. you want me to be honest it's sounds that only me Biggz, Busy heard and it comes from the studio, we do a lot of work. But 3 sounds that I like Rebith Brass Band, Take ite to the street first, BG with Cash Money is an army and C&#8208;Loc &amp; Lil Boosie &#8208; Outlawz. It's the kind of stuff I listen to.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&#034;https://youtu.be/9CetWLkPcyA&#034; class=&#034;spip_url spip_out auto&#034; rel=&#034;nofollow external&#034;&gt;https://youtu.be/9CetWLkPcyA&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&#034;https://youtu.be/kS6cOYwVb9k&#034; class=&#034;spip_url spip_out auto&#034; rel=&#034;nofollow external&#034;&gt;https://youtu.be/kS6cOYwVb9k&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Do you remember your first beat ?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Shit, I first started making beats, uh.... I guess you know, I come up, I grew up in the 90s. You know, I was born in the 80s, I grew up in the 90s. So, you know, I grew up listening to a lot of that Cash Money, No Limit, heavily Mannie Fresh influence, Beats by the Pound influence, uh...and I guess, you know, I say around the late 90s uh..into the very early 2000s I had this game on PlayStation, I can't remember if it was PlayStation 1 or PlayStation 2 but it used to be called MTV Music Generator. So that's when I first started making my beats. And I used to you know, lie and tell people you know, I did it in the studio and shit like that. Cause you know if you tell a person that you making beats on PlayStation, they going to be like &#8220;Aw fuck no man, I don't want no PlayStation Beats !&#8221; But yeah, PlayStation MTV Music Generator was my first means of making beats as far as like, you know, giving them out to people. But you know I had a little keyboard, a little music keyboard at home I played with a drum set and stuff. Like I told you earlier, I grew up playing drums and stuff like that so, yeah....&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I would say late 90s/early 2000s is when I first went out of the house producing.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How old are you Jabbar ? When did you start rappin ?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I'm 22 feelin like im 30 sumn out this bitch and I really started rappin when I was in 7th/8th grade. My step-daddy was in a lil rap group called Sircle of Sin back in the day and I was like 6 years old goin to this studio in Marrero wit him. I use to freestyle sometimes while they was recordin, but I wasn't bouta try to be no fuckin rapper at that 6 years old. I ain't think about rappin until I hopped off the porch and started gettin into all kinda dumb shit. I was so wrapped up in shit that I needed a outlet. A way to blow off steam other than beatin a muthafucka up for no reason. So I started writin to old Wayne beats back 08. After I wrote to bout 100 Wayne songs I took it serious from that point on. I use to do freestyle videos on MySpace back in the day lol and now I'm here.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Oh boi your step-daddy was a Sircle of Sin member ? The only album they did it's a fucking classic ! Why they did'nt record more albums ?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Cuz real life came along. Kids came. A few of em went to jail and shit and the shit just fell off. They still cool till this day tho.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class='spip_document_408 spip_document spip_documents spip_document_image spip_documents_center spip_document_center'&gt;
&lt;figure class=&#034;spip_doc_inner&#034;&gt; &lt;img src='https://www.swampdiggers.com/local/cache-vignettes/L500xH500/2-f314d.jpg?1505985502' width='500' height='500' alt='' /&gt;
&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Growing up in New Orleans, what was it like ? Any significant memories ?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Man growin up in New Orleans was fun, hectic, and legendary all at the same time. It was fun cuz the only rule we had in school was make sure you wear yo uniforms. That was pretty much it. So I'm sure you can imagine growin up in a public school system from k-5 and then 8-9 just doin whatever the fuck you want to lol we had cookouts and parties where the whole fam would show up and get drunk and shit. We had block parties damn near every weekend lol it was hectic because I was younger than all my cousins and shit smokin weed and drinkin and hidin it from my aunties and my momma nem lol I swear to god words can't even explain how much fun I had as a kid. we use to post up at this corner store &#034;super stop&#034; and a park we had that everybody would go to after school. We deadass use ride our mongoose bikes to the other side of the city just to go fuck wit the people that we knew in the projects. It was legendary cuz New Orleans ain't gone never be how it used to be. It's just different now. The city different, the people different, a few years after Katrina shit was just different. Even Mardi Gras and allat shit different now. I have a lot of memories man, but the one that's gone always stick wit me is when my nigga Buck died. That funeral was so big dog. The whole fuckin city was there ! Every project, every school, everythang and everybody was there ! But yeah after the funeral his momma had a block party and we marched. We had a whole second line out there just for him, but yeah right after they dropped his casket we all threw our polo shirts off our backs into the grave in his honor. That's gone always be the thing I remember most about my childhood.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tell me about your first EP, 'Halloween Town'. How it came about ?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;'Halloween Town' was one of those tapes that kinda just happened. After Key ! and OG Maco dropped they give me hell mixtape I linked up wit they producer Brandon Thomas. He was a fan of Snub (Snubnose Frankenstein) and he wanted to work. So him, Key !, and few other of they potnas came to my house and we just started workin. Me and Key ! did ving rhimes and Brandon threw me a shit load of beats. I rapped on all of em and the songs I liked got put on the tape. As far as the whole idea of it tho, that came from me actually sittin down and watchin the Disney movie 'Halloween Town'. I was bored and high and that shit just made so much sense to me. A city where it's goons and ghouls and goblins everywhere and it's halloween everyday except it ain't no costumes or candy. Just straight scary shit. From the outside lookin in that might seem horrifying, But to somebody that lives in it its normal. That sounds a hell of a lot like New Orleans if you ask me.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;'Father Forgive Me' is a hard stuff about your hood livin in New Orleans. Tell me more about New Orleans aka this Halloween town you talkin about ?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In 'Father Forgive Me' Im really askin God for forgiveness. I was at a real dark place in my life when I made that song. I was on 2 different misdemeanor probations and felony probation on top of allat for some real petty ass shit. I knew I had it comin tho cuz I had already did a lot of fucked up shit and got away wit it. As far as the city tho I mean you can pretty much imagine how it is. Everybody and they momma know New Orleans ain't nothin to fuck wit. And wit that bein said, what's understood ain't gotta be explained.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The reasons you left New Orleans to live in the A (Douglasville), GA ?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Originally I left cuz of Katrina in 2005, but we moved back to New Orleans in 2008 and after my grandma and my homeboy Buck died my momma said fuck that we goin back to the A.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Describe your rappin style. Where they came from your horrorcore influences ?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Man the only way I can describe my rappin style is to say that it's real shit. it's real life. I came up listenin to a lot of Pac, Big, Jay-Z, Beanie Sigel, Cash Money, No Limit, Jadakiss, and G-Unit. Mainly cuz thats what my step-dad use to listen to. all the other rappers came in after I started gettin bootleg CD's on my own expense.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&#034;video&#034;&gt;&lt;iframe width=&#034;560&#034; height=&#034;315&#034; src=&#034;https://www.youtube.com/embed/bluVeN5Gz30&#034; frameborder=&#034;0&#034; allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Working with the others 3 &#034;Lousy Human Bastards !&#034; members how'd you link up ?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Man we really linked up back in 2009 when I moved back to Atlanta for the second time. My nigga Z put me on to Snub lil brother cuz he was my age rappin like a young snoop and that led me to snub. they had a lil rap group called &#034;ill valley hi&#034; and they was on some next level rap shit ! the same shit I was on, so i just reached out to Snub and sent him this freestyle I did over a fugee beat and he rocked wit it ! i met Mitch and Seawright a lil later down the line, but ever since then we been clicked up. idk how it happened lol it wasn't really planned, it all just came together so perfect that niggas ain't have no choice but to take this shit serious.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class='spip_document_410 spip_document spip_documents spip_document_image spip_documents_center spip_document_center'&gt;
&lt;figure class=&#034;spip_doc_inner&#034;&gt; &lt;a href='https://www.swampdiggers.com/IMG/jpg/4.jpg' class=&#034;spip_doc_lien mediabox&#034; type=&#034;image/jpeg&#034;&gt; &lt;img src='https://www.swampdiggers.com/local/cache-vignettes/L500xH667/4-aa3ef.jpg?1505985504' width='500' height='667' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tell me more about your freestyle Friday series. How did it come about ?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Freestyle Friday was a thing I did back when MySpace was hot cuz when I started takin rap serious, I told myself I was gone be on rap city. rap city ain't around no more, but that ain't gone stop shit. I like to stunt on my haters and nah sayers too and freestyle friday is one way for me to channel that aggression. plus these so called rap niggas outchea be wack as fuck and I really ain't tryna be categorized no where near them. straight up&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;'Troublesome 96' is an autobiographic or a nostalgic song ? Maybe the both ?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Actually it is both. every time I hear that song I think about the first time I heard 2Pac on the original version. I was troublesome myself so I really felt and related to what he was sayin, but for me when I rapped over it, it was basically a collage of my life in a freestyle lol that's what all my freestyles are made of foreal tho. Ion tell no lies in my raps just to sound cool like these other niggas.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&#034;son&#034;&gt;&lt;iframe width=&#034;100%&#034; height=&#034;166&#034; scrolling=&#034;no&#034; frameborder=&#034;no&#034; src=&#034;https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/196842040&amp;color=ff5500&amp;auto_play=false&amp;hide_related=false&amp;show_comments=true&amp;show_user=true&amp;show_reposts=false&#034;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Hardest producer you would like to work with ?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Man right na it gotta be Metro lol that boy be goin the fuck off !&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Backwoods or swishers ? Texas, Florida, or Louisiana kush ?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Can never go wrong wit backwoods.&lt;br class='autobr' /&gt;
Man I ain't never even had no Texas weed, Louisiana weed is straight up garbage to me and Florida weed was cool, but even that shit wasn't really hitting on nothin. Atlanta got some good ass weed. I ain't really traveled to no other states like that to try they weed, but as of now atlanta is lit. Literally.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Birdman or Master P ?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ima have to say P, cuz he held it down and put so many people out the city on along the way. then they whole family was lit lol i just rocked wit p more than Birdman growin up.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Juvie or Mystikal ?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;They both was fire, but Juvie all day ! 50% of the time I barely knew what the fuck Mystikal was sayin.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Old Westbank rap or Bounce music ?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I ain't really rock wit ol westbank rap like that so ima have to say bounce music. it ain't nothin like seein every girl round you go crazy just cuz a bounce song playin.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Free ?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Free my cousin Willie, free that boy Reese, free my cousin Rock, free my pops, free my cousin Bryan, free Sabir, free Black, free Sheldon, free that boy New York, free any and everybody thats locked down right now.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Shouts out ?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Shout out to my muthafuckin brothers man. My Boy Z, Beezy, Zay, Shandon, Shak, Mitch, man way too many to name ! shout out to the whole squad ! Shout out to the whole fam ! and shout to the man upstairs man ! wouldn't none of this be possible without him.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Rest in peace to Buck, KB, Bari, Bobby, Bill, Boopie, Annie, Darrin, Toonk, Poochie, Leonard, Ashley, Faye, Boe, bryan, Adrian, Auntie Grechel, and every other souljas that's been called home to the promise land.&lt;/p&gt;
