YOUNG DIRT

Making waves in the music industry is no easy task, but Reidsville, North Carolina re presenter, Young Dirt, when you grind hard and sleep less, anything is possible. Recently gaining a major label distribution deal, Young Dirt is ready to share with the world his sound and his story.

G3MZ: For the people that don’t know who you are tell them a little about where you’re from and how long you been doing this?

Young Dirt: I go by the name Young Dirt. I was born in Gastonia, North Carolina, raised everywhere between there, Buffalo, NY, Southside Chicago, Illinois, York, Clover and Rock Hill, South Carolina, and mostly Reidsville, North Carolina. I’ve been doing music for as long as I can remember but only professionally for about 2 years or so.

G3MZ: Being from the south do you feel like the south gets misrepresented?

Young Dirt: I don’t feel like the south gets misrepresented, but the streets choose a lot of the same kind of southern rappers to give the most press and promotion to, there’s no one kind of southern rapper, but a lot of them do have similar styles, so most times when an artist from the south sounds different they don’t think they’re “southern”.

G3MZ: What’s the best experience you’ve had so far?

Young Dirt: I think the best experience I’ve had in the music business so far has been touring with a radio single. I’ve done so many promotional shows trying to break singles when the crowd didn’t know the song that it was kind of overwhelming to have a crowd singing along to the song and actually knowing and reciting my rhymes that I wrote. That’s a powerful feeling, also makes you realize the responsibility you have as an entertainer.

G3MZ: Who influenced your style coming up?

Young Dirt: When I was coming up I listened to east coast music, Rakim, Big L, Jay-Z, a little Nas, Chino XL, Crooked I and artists like that. I did more freestyles than songs. It took me a LONG time to get out of just writing lyrics and actually making songs, I got to give my big homey Carlos Diaz credit for schooling me to the importance of catchy hooks in the music business.

G3MZ: Let us know about your current project and where can people get it?

Young Dirt: I have 2 recent mixtapes with exclusively Young Dirt music available on datpiff.com, “Born Alone Die Alone” and “2 Real 4 Radio – Vol 1″. Both are released through You World Global Media in Atlanta. Also I just hosted DJ 7 Thirty’s “Block Huggaz” Vol 65 and released 5 tracks on it mixed in with music from some industry heavyweights. The latest project I am working on is my third studio mixtape to be released this summer which is as of yet untitled, but will be hosted and sponsored by Fleet DJs and Coast 2 Coast Mixtapes.

 

G3MZ: How do you feel about mainstream right now?

Young Dirt: Honestly I don’t feel about mainstream. Mainstream is the product of what’s popular in the boardroom and the streets. If the streets are supporting something or the people with the check are paying for the promotion, I can’t really say anything other than congratulations. Other than that, it doesn’t make or break me. I got my blinders on running my own race.

 

G3MZ: How can people contact you for bookings or features?

 

Young Dirt: For bookings or features you can contact Demetrius Williams at Demetrius.Djdredz.Williams@gmail.com or Ms. L. B. Whitener at MSLBMGMT@gmail.com, or you can contact my business facebook at www.facebook.com/youngdirtofficial or direct message on twitter @YoungDirt.

 

G3MZ: Any shout outs?

Young Dirt: Definitely have to thank God for breath in my body, shout out my management team MsLB, Demetrius and DRS Productions, You World Global Media, my family G.H.S.L. Fam, Sesame Eagle Gang, the city of Reidsville, NC, my whole Burris, Guinn, Ross fam from SC to NC to Chicago, and anybody that ever clicked a Young Dirt link, liked or retweeted a Young Dirt status, played a Young Dirt CD or supported a Young Dirt show! Hell even the ones in the street talking bad on my name, I wouldn’t be nothing without each and every one of ya’ll!

REAL MUSIC ENTERTAIMENT

 

N.A.B.: Let’s begin by elaborating on who Real Music Entertainment consists of?

 

REAL MUSIC:  As of right now Real Music Entertainment consists of five artists (Pk the Pastor, Tae-d, DIz, Blac-Out, and Jevone Moore), two engineers (Foeva INC and Trillwun Productionz), and finally me, the founder of the company, Francisco Sukhan. Each of us working together to create something unique to bring light to hip hop music.

 

N.A.B.: How did you guys come together as a group?

 

REAL MUSIC: There was too much talent around for us not to get together and start a movement. It began with Pk the Pastor allowing me to represent him and have him as the lead artist of our movement. From there we connected with one of the most innovative engineers I have ever met (Trillwun Productionz) and it has grown from there.

 

N.A.B.: Tell us who plays what position within the company?

 

REAL MUSIC: Each entertainer is a multi-talented solo artist. Each doing their part to aid promotion and in the production of all of our music. We also have the two best engineers doing what they do in our area. Based on their own experience, they have acquired the skills to create the other half of our unit. Video production, beats, graphic design, mastering, etc. If it has to do with music, they can do it. Last but not least, I am the founder, CEO, promoter, and manager. I established this company almost a year ago with no intent on turning back. Everyone involved just needs someone to believe in them and let them know that it really is possible and not to throw away the talent at hand. That’s me.

 

N.A.B.: What type of music do you guys contribute to the music industry?

 

REAL MUSIC: With no discrimination on any genre of music, we intend on being heard in EVERY ear. We have already done shows with country artist “Stormy Lee” where we mixed hip hop/R&B with country in front of a live audience. We have collaborations with Reggaeton artists and we’re even planning on touching rock music. Anything goes, its Real Music.

 

N.A.B.: Talk about your new music that’s we should be up to par with?

 

REAL MUSIC: We have several mix tapes out right now to include “Real Music Promo Disc One: The First Chapter in the Book“, which has collaborations and solo songs from each artist combined in a compilation mix tape, “Greater than Fate“, which is PK the Pastor‘s debut mix tape, “Hip Hop Grindr“, DIz‘s first official mix tape and “The Versatility” Mix tape by Tae-d. We also have upcoming mix tapes by Jevone Moore and Blac-Out. All of which are available on datpiff.com.

 

N.A.B.: How can we stay updated with Real Music Entertainment? Any websites, social networks and or blogs?

 

REAL MUSIC: You can find us at www.realmusicent.com which is our personal website containing all mix tapes, videos, and any other information regarding our business. @realmusic_inc on Twitter, realmusic_entertainment on Instagram, and facebook.com/realmusic350...

 

N.A.B.: Last words and shout outs?

 

REAL MUSIC: I would like to send love to all of our supporters that have been there since day one (especially our #1 fan, you know who you are). You have kept us moving. A special shout out to our men behind the scenes helping us make it happen. We couldn’t be where we’re at without their help, Trillwun Productionz and Foeva INC. Some of the most talented engineers in Texas. Shout out to DJ Big Redd from Swishahouse providing show opportunities on our turf and an even stronger shout out to the Elegant Hoodness Program and A.D. the General for making this all possible and making our future brighter.

I’m really excited to get back to California.

 

E.H.M.P. : How old where you when you met Pun? How did the whole terror squad situation come into play at that time?

 

TRIPLE SEIS: I was 17 when I first met Pun but it was a few years after we met that we actually got to know one of another. He took me in as family. It was a special bond that we all had with creative thinking, goals and visions of becoming an artist, “famous.” It was incredible what we was able to accomplish in such little time it was all history from there. I’ll give all back to have my friend back but to be honest he lives in all our music.

 

E.H.M.P. : R.I.P to Big Pun. After Pun died the original Terror Squad quickly diminished. A few of you released solo albums and collaborations. It would never be the same again without Pun. I know through the years I’ve hoped for a possible reunion of the original squad. Would that ever happen and why?

 

TRIPLE SEIS: Can’t speak on a reunion. I’m totally for it. That’s just my point of view..

 

E.H.M.P. : You have been independent for a while now. Releasing several mix tapes and performing across the nation. Are you looking to re-link with a major or are you looking for a larger look and why?

TRIPLE SEIS: I’m working with those who are willing to work with me. I know a lot of artist but there are a few who I know to come at. The majority of this era coming up I vibes with. For example, my borough has a strong internet buzz. It’s time to utilize that and help bridge any gaps.

REEK 610

E.H.M.P.: Break down the meaning of your name Reek 610?

REEK610: Reek is the nickname for my first name. I added the 610 because it’s the area code where I’m from. My man told me there’s a Reek in every hood so I added the “610!”

E.H.M.P.: You recently won 2nd place at The Elegant Hoodness in NYC. You’ve also received an early nomination for the Top Ten Artists of the Year Awards 2014.. How was your experience and would you recommend others to the program?

REEK610: It was a great experience, a lot of talented artist came out and did their thing. It’s great promotion for upcoming artist who need more exposure. I strongly recommend it to anyone who is on their grind and wants to continue their music grind.

E.H.M.P.: Where can our listeners listen to or download your music?

REEK610: Go to YouTube and type in “Reek610” and all the videos we have will be on there.

E.H.M.P.: What separates you from the average philly rapper?

REEK610: The main thing that separates me from the average Philly rapper is I’m not technically a “Philly” rapper, I’m about 20 minutes outside the city in a small town, Pottstown. Out here in the 610 we have our own unique sound that separates us from not only Philly, but other parts of the world.

E.H.M.P.: Any last words and or shout outs?

REEK610: shout out 610 music and everybody apart of the 610 movement.

PORCELAN CHALET

 

E.H.M.P.: Congrats on your recent 1st place win at the Elegant Hoodness Musical Program monthly showcase in NY. How was your experience at The E.H.M.P. and how did you feel when you were announced winner?

 

P. CHALET: I enjoyed myself. Everyone showed me a lot of love and support. I definitely think that it was well worth it! I was honored being announced as the winner, being that I was an artist from another city competing  against very tough competition from NY. I love the city and I really enjoyed myself. It was just an all around incredible experience.

 

E.H.M.P.: Tell me what inspires you to continue to pursue a career in music?

 

P. CHALET: My passion for music inspires me. How it makes me feel, how it allows me to express myself, and being able to relate with others through my music. My parents also inspired me because they were both musicians.

 

E.H.M.P.: Who is your favorite R&B performer, your favorite composer and your favorite lyricist and why?

 

P. CHALET: My favorite performer is Tina Turner, because she captivated her audience, she was a very strong singer, confident, and I loved her passion and how personable she was on stage.  I have to go with Timberland, hands down, as my favorite composer, because he is one of the most creative people. He has his own sound and has worked with some of the top artist in the industry, and I am privileged to have been able to work with him.  Kanye West is my favorite lyricist, because he is one of the most consistent rappers in the game. He’s always on his grind and always on top.

 

E.H.M.P.: Do you have any formal training as a vocalist and how important is it as a vocalist to continue to improve your skills?

 

P. CHALET: No formal training; but my father, being a musician himself will help me from time to time on my vocals, and being from a musically inclined family, I naturally have a good idea of what to do to enhance my skills and improve myself.

 

E.H.M.P.: Where can our readers listen and or download some of your music?

 

P. CHALET: They can listen to my music on https://soundcloud.com/threeliveent; http://www.youtube.com/user/Porcelan10; http://www.3liveentertainment.com/; and you can also find my music on iTunes. 

 

E.H.M.P.: Tell us something no knows about you?

 

P. CHALET: I’m developing my skills as a producer :)

 

E.H.M.P.: Any last words and or shout outs?

 

P. CHALET: Shout out to my management at 3Live Entertainment, to everyone that showed loved at the E.H.M.P showcase in NY, and all my friends, family, and supporters.

R.A. CERTIFIED: I want to first and foremost thank E.H.M.P. for this opportunity. I want to shout out my team Dangerzone and everybody who is supporting us. I want to remind my fans.

JAY SPITZ

 

N.A.B.: Open this interview by taking us through a day in Spitz world. From the time you wake up, to the start of your next day.

SPITZ: A day for Spitz most likely consists of me at work. I work truck driver hours, but I’m not a truck driver, LOL. Yes, I do have a job! Spitz is not the so-called drug dealer rapper that all these other rappers claim to be! And, I make damn good money! Now, if I’m not working; I just wake up, eat breakfast, check the social network sites (Facebook, Instagram, etc..) and talk to my business partner/brother SL Jonez. I do a little promo if I feel it’s needed and then get on the PS3. I’m an addicted gamer! If there’s HMB (the label) work to be done, I’ll load up the camera, computers and get to work. Or head to wherever the business is. When the late hours come around, I wind down with a drink and engage in grown folks activities, LOL.

N.A.B.: Are you managed by anyone? Or do you handle all your affairs? Any team players?

SPITZ : I’m not personally managed, being that I’m not sure with my direction, as of yet. Let me elaborate. I’m not positive that I actually want to be an artist anymore. I also have the boyshorts that I design (HMB ORIGINALS), which I’m beginning the promotional stages with again. I’m also contemplating going deeper into photography and videography. Along with being Chief Operations Officer of HMB Entertainment, I have a lot of careful decisions to make within the next year or two. We do have the lovely @kyashilah who does promotion for us, and informs us on opportunities.

N.A.B.: Where would you say you’re now in your career in comparison with where you want to be? Elaborate some.

SPITZ: I’m at a crossroad in my career and the roads are many. I’m focusing on making the right decision on which road to take. I don’t want to obligate myself tsomething that will overwhelm me and disappoint my teammates. I have no expectations with a career in this industry, being that I’m already established in general. Yes, one can always strive for MORE! So in my case that would be a bonus and I still work hard to achieve that bonus. At the end of the day knowing where I came from, to where I am today. I’m proud of myself and my family is proud of me. I can die today knowing I’ve accomplished everything I’ve set out for. My new goal is to help my teammates and those under me to be successful and established men and women. It’s no longer about me, so I’ll put no expectations on personal advancement in life career wise.

N.A.B: What have you released in the last 90 day? What are you presently working on?

SPITZ: No new music (songs) within the last 90 days. I’m focusing on the visuals. Mottz Gigante and I, opened up for Freeway, Feb 25th at Elegant Hoodness at Club Pyramid. So, I’m incorporating that performance into the next video, which will be The Future by Mottz Gigante featuring myself. I’m editing that as we speak. After that, I’m going straight to promoting the HMB Originals Boyshorts to get you ladies ready for the summer. As far as musical material, I’ll throw out a song here and there, but not much. Its the visual side I’m working on at this moment.

N.A.B.: You recently opened for Freeway in NYC at the Elegant Hoodness Musical Program. Elaborate on that experience.

SPITZ: I f*cks with A.D. The General and Team N.A.N & N.A.B. so I always look to see what they have coming up.This event has perfect competitions, that’s okay for those looking for approval. We already know, we are elite! So, I’m not fond of my artist or myself being “judged”, but without a fan base, we still need to be seen and heard. To be on the same card as Freeway was a great opportunity. Maybe we can reel in some of his supporters and fans. It was wonderful! Mottz and I put it down of course, but all artists did a great job. Freeway ended the show perfectly. I thank A.D. for contacting me about it and and there WILL be more to come!

N.A.B.: I hear your music spinning at a few stations. Whose been showing you love, on that note? How was your experience at these stations?

SPITZ: G3mz and Ms Fefe of Team N.A.N. and N.A.B have definitely showed us love. I’d get the tweets showing that they played one of our songs and be like “oh shit!!” Lol…Big shoutout to them for that love….we haven’t sent much out lately because we’re revamping our material but VERY SOON I’m personally going to flood DTF radio and OnTheRise Radio with bangers from HMB. And other stations as well.

N.A.B.: I noticed your views on youtube is up there and rising. Have you noticed?

SPITZ: Yes, I have. I thank @kyashilah for her hand in that. Her promo on the video, I‘m A Hustler (Mr. Brite) and Homecoming 3 (Mottz Gigante and I) was sick. I also show people the video’s personally, and the team also promotes the videos. They see the progression and video quality difference, from then til now, and the response is great!!!

N.A.B.: You are a very laid back kind of fella. What do you like to do in your spare time. Any other hobbies?

SPITZ: Play PS3, FredRuger is the tag and the game of choice is NBA 2K13. Or travel to my 2nd home in, North Carolina. I’m down there every 3 to 4 months. That’s where my family is, I love it out there. Other than that, I’m all business. If  I’m not doing my bill paying work, I’m doing HMB work!

N.A.B.: Tell us where we can find an hear your latest music. Also, how we can keep updated.
