Spin Doctors Sessions- Ken @kbinge from Dead End Hip Hop

SC: Where you repping from?
KEN: Atlanta, GA

SC: How did you come up with the idea and name of dead end hip hop?

KEN: Dead End Hip Hop actually evolved from another idea I had that I was launching after I finished my MBA. DEHH was part of a bigger project and idea I put together during one of my classes. That project came from plenty of conversations and emails with Modest Media and Feefo during our days at the Company. I built, as part of my assignment, this whole media company centered around those early days. I was working on a completely different idea with DEHH as an extension of that idea but DEHH started to really jump out there during those early days at A3C in 2010 that I had to focus all of my attention on DEHH and building DEHH. The name came from an email debate that I was involved with at work. During that discussion, the phrase "dead end hip hop' conversation was used and it hit me immediately.

SC: How important is it for DEHH to be visual on youtube?

KEN: It's important because we are all visual creatures. YouTube already had a community online that loved hip hop. For me, it just made sense to start there and grow there. That doesn't mean we will stop there. There are other opportunities out there that we are actively pursuing right now. But at the present time, YouTube is home and we love all of the fans that support us on YouTube so it's important to continue to deliver the best content we possibly can to them.

SC: What's your highest watched/rated show?

KEN: That would be our 2011 Year End review video. It was a great moment for us because it was our rookie year and to receive front page love on YouTube was a great feeling for us all.

SC: What are your most memorable moments on the show? Good and bad.

KEN: The K. Sparks review is one because without that review, we would not be in the review business. From there, you had Goblin and Lil B both which are fan favorites. Lil B was probably the most memorable of all because everything you see in that review is real. That's the thing about DEHH. We don't have a script. We just go. So what comes out comes out so every single show that we have recorded is honest to it's core. Lil B was great for us because it was what it was in that moment and then it was over. Just like that. We all packed up, went outside, debated a little more, had drinks and kicked it by Raf's pool.  

SC: How does the crew interact off camera?

KEN: We act the same on and off camera. The only difference is that we record the other interactions.

SC: What are some issues that you see within hip hop?

KEN: The biggest problem is over saturation thanks to technology. It makes everything so easy and accessible that the market space becomes crowded occupying space so it's hard to really find good artists. I compare it to the app market when the iPhone hit and apps became the thing. The marketspace became so crowded with crappy free apps that it was hard to find the really good ones. It is the same way in hip hop.

SC: What are some pet peeves that artists or fans do concerning DEHH?

KEN: Fake love as a way to get us to listen to their music. They hit us up mainly on Twitter and I am seeing an uptick on FB now but yea man, that is the one that may be the most irritating. The fans are cool. We got mad love for them!

SC: What are 3 tips that you can give artists?

KEN: Know your history and learn about the culture of hip hop and the art of rap. This is really important if you ask me. Build relationships. This is cliche but so true. We have had many conversations with people that we didn't even know were artists or producers. They never forced their music on us and when we found out, at least for me, I was more interested in checking out their work. Even if the music is bad, I still have respect for them that they didn't see us as a platform for their music. They truly love and appreciate what we do. Stay away from trends! Trendy music has no shelf life so be an artist first and foremost.  

SC: Any last words or shout outs?

KEN: First, S/O to you for the interview. Second, please subscribe and share the show with as many people as possible. Finally, I can't stress how much we really love and appreciate the fans that take an interest in what we're doing. It means the world to us. We are extremely thankful for all of the support they show us. You know, we're just guys talking hip hop giving our honest opinion on what we hear or think about a topic. We're thankful that we are in a position to contribute our voices to the conversation.

Beezy-Beezy Gets Beats Vol.1 Mixtape Review

Dead End Hip Hop crew member, Beezy, is well known for many things from their show. He's known for representing the "D" (Detriot), he's bluntness with his opinion, he's fun loving catch pharse "What Up Doe?" and his special instrest in beats. He puts the last attritubute to the test by creating a collab beat tape of his favorite producers and brings us "Beezy Gets Beats Vol.1". Beezy has a great ear for production. The mixtape has a great arrangement of emotion. When it comes to creating a beat tape, Beezy got it.

Spin Doctors Sessions- DJ Instynctz

SC: Where you repping?
DI: I'm repping NYC. Hailing from the Bronx.

SC: Who have you worked with/hosted for?
DI: I've worked with numerous artists and DJ's around the world. I've performed on sets with numerous members of MMG and hosted projects for a wide array of underground artists.

SC: What made you change your name from DJ IIISixty?.
DI: One thing I never liked is to be common. Even though IIISixty was unique in its spelling, the meaning behind it didn't stand out for me. Plus, the fact that I started hearing about other DJ 360's in the same area didn't help my cause.

SC: What brought on your reason for making "Monday Nite Mixtape" radio show?
DI: At the time I felt like there was a void in the underground hip hop community. I got the opportunity to start up a show on www.Allcityradionyc.com featuring music from artists I felt were producing good music.

SC: What made you focus on indie artists over major artists?
DI: Indie artists are always looking for outlets. Many times those outlets aren't easily available to indie artists, so I decided to work on building relationships with the artists rising. It's all about growing together and helping each other get to the top.

SC: I see you have done work with artists in Japan. How important is it for artists to try to get their music overseas?
DI: That was a dope project. Probably one of my favorites... The music world is so small when you look at it in internet terms. URL's and social media make reaching out to people in distant places so simple that it's a waste of time and talent to limit yourself to your local environment. Good music is universally accepted so as long as you can speak to an audience with the sounds and mood of your music, the rest is easy.

SC: What are some things that you see artists doing wrong within their career?
DI: I think artists follow trends too often. They try to emulate what's on the radio and what's hot at the moment. Artists that are on top right now got there by being them. An artist's work should always reflect how the artist is as a person. Personal struggles, situations experienced, the road to success, even conversations with other people who have experienced things you aren't familiar with - they all help mold an individual. All those unique experiences make us all different.. so why are 90 percent of rappers talking about the same stuff? Don't be afraid to stand out by being yourself. I also see too much laziness going on with a lot of new artists that feel as if their connects are going to take them to the top. Just because your man is signed doesn't mean you are. Put your own work in. Never depend on anyone. Also, stop networking in the same network. Your career can run around in circles and never get anywhere because you're dealing with the same people over and over.

SC: What are 3 tips you can give to inspiring artists?
DI: - 1.Learn how to gauge people in the "industry". Everyone is a CEO or an AnR and 90 percent of them are full of it just trying to take your money. 2.Stay focused. Make sure your art is something you would do for free. Do it for the love then the money will come. 3.Consistency is key.

SC: Any last words or shout outs?
DI: Look out for plenty of big moves coming this year. Visit www.StreetKhemistry.com Big shout to my family, the entire Specialyst Ent., Torch, Geter K, the Street Khemistry team, all the artists that I've worked with and all the artists I'm about to work with. Shout to Chican George and Spin City DVD on the interview. It's Problematik Status all day!

Lil Mase- The Frisking Mixtape Review

Birmingham,Alabama rapper, Lil Mase, preps his listeners to go to another atmosphere with his mixtape "The Frisking". The layout of the mixtape is like a movie with orchestral pieces composed by Luke Limelight. Lil Mase destroys every beat that he raps on and sounds like a younger more flirtatious Lupe fiasco. Even though he's a "Lil", this mixtape makes him sound like most veteran artists. His unique flow switches well and takes you on a lyrical roller coaster throughout the mixtape. The features are placed on the right tracks and I can hear so many singles. Good for Lil' Mase, he makes many of these tracks sound better than the original. With Lil Mases's lyrical and fly style, he proves that the atmosphere that he brings you to will be enjoyable destination.

Spin Doctors Sessions- Sermon's Domain

SC: Where you repping from?
SD: I'm born and raised in Seattle, Washington.

SC: How did you come up with the name for your site?
SD: In high school, I acquired the nickname Sermon from someone I knew. My real name is Erich, so he started calling me "Erick Sermon, The Generic Version," based off the 8 Mile line (and it was random too). It just kind of shortened over time to Sermon. Then, when I was thinking of names, I wanted something that felt like mine. Max B's "Public Domain 2" came out in late December 2007 and somehow I just kind of connected the domain part.

SC: Your a dope interviewer (also shout out to highlighting your interview key points on your YouTube page). Who was your favorite interview and why?
 SD: There's so many to choose from. I've done over 60 interviews with all kinds of big names ranging from Mac Miller to Next (remember them?). If I had to name a couple, I say my first Tech N9ne one, which was 30 minutes, is up there but got lost on a hard drive. Same with my Lil B one that was special. The interview I did with Glasses Malone and Mistah F.A.B. was hilarious. Riding in a car with Macklemore back to Seattle from Federal Way created a good long interview. There's so many.

SC: What are some tips for artists to improve their interviewing skills?
SD: Watch old promos that The Rock cut. Ha. Nah, in all seriousness, you just have to be able to talk and think on the spot. It's not rocket science. If you got a personality, show it. Going back to the Glasses and F.A.B. interview I did, you'd never expect either to be really funny but put them together and it was hilarious. They were comfortable. Any artist needs to also act like they want to do the interview and they need to give good answers like their career depends on it (maybe a little too extreme). I've seen artists give one sentence answers to deep questions and it sucks, especially when it happens to you as an interviewer.

SC: I remember reading your Sunday Sermons  "Do you remember me?" article and your "Preach on, Sermon: The Red pill or the Blue Pill" (I love the wordplay in that title) and feel in love with your site. How important is writing articles/editorials on a hip hop site to you?
SD: First off, I really do appreciate you reading those two pieces. I'm glad they've worked and helped bring new people to the site. I feel like writing editorials and other pieces is very important because it personalizes the site more. You also stand out from those who just post music all day. That's why I think Sermon's Domain has become respected, for all the writing I do and opinions I share. My number one goal is to be a journalist/writer for my career and the site has allowed me to hone my abilities. For me, that's exactly what I wanted to do over time. I learned more on my own than in school so far.

SC: What are some things that you are seeing going wrong within hip hop?
SD: There's a lot of things going wrong with hip-hop. A big problem is labels making these multi-million dollar deals for an artist who has the "flavor of the month" single. A lot of them don't end up being beneficial in the long run but they still insist on doing them. But, I'm not here to try to fix the problems. I'm here to introduce good talent to the world through my site and maybe one day labels will pay attention to it.

SC: I'm going to do the chicken or the egg riddle with you, since you gave me that answer. Do you think that's more of the artists or the labels fault with the current state that it's in?
 SD: It's both. Artists got lazy and felt like they didn't need to have the necessary skills to really master their craft. One single puts a lot of pressure on someone and when they come into all this money off it, it's just a lot to handle. That's why you don't see artists like YC ("Racks On Racks") or Hurricane Chris too much anymore. The game needs one hit wonders but the deals they get are unfair and that's why labels are losing. Come up with a new type of deal that caters to this ideal.

SC: What are some pet peeves that artists do to you (Whether it be dealing with your site or in hip hop in genreal)?
SD: Currently, I hate the words "music submission." I get hundreds daily it seems. You have to be different. I dislike when an artist types in ALL CAPS LIKE WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THIS? Then, there's the Twitter spam. Oh, lord, the Twitter spam. It's so frowned upon within the blog community but struggling rappers don't seem to listen. I've had artists with thousands of followers spam me, which leads to suspect they were bought numbers. You wouldn't need to spam unless they were.

SC: What are 3 tips that you would give inspiring artists?
SD: 1. Actually be interested in the blog you're pitching to. So many artists grab an email, add them to their list and never try to make it personal or build a legit connection. You can tell the difference from someone who actually likes your site versus one who doesn't. Like, you, for instance, referenced two pieces I wrote by title, so I know you read the site.

2. Be creative with your approach. This is a tough one for anybody. Standing out isn't easy when everyone is a rapper, producer, manager, etc. The best bet is to get out to these events and link up with someone in person. Introduce yourself but don't come on forced and trying to get on their site. If you establish a relationship, eventually that person might want to check out your music. It takes time. That's just one way of doing it.

3. DO NOT try to sound like anybody else. Discover your own sound and don't be trying to duplicate a Rick Ross or Chief Keef. From the production to the lyrics to the concept, someone we've never heard is going to stand out in the long run. You got to find your niche with your music.

SC: Any shout outs or last words?
SD: I appreciate you for reaching out to want to do this interview. It made me think and share some insight into things I've never really spoken on. Keep up the good work.

MJ Whatley-The New 94 Review

Sometimes, I wish that hip hop would go back to it's golden era. Well, maybe not too far back...but around the 90's. This was where I think that it was at it's peak and had such a huge impact and influence on the world. You always hear hip hop purtists preaching this as well. Everyone is always saying that the music now is trash. Well, MJ Whatley took things into his own hands and mixed a little of the old and added a little of the current with his new mixtape "The New 94". MJ Whatley brings a nostlagic feel to hip hop using some of the best beats from the ninties. He doesn't make the mixtape feel like a mixtape. This is something that many artists fail to do on many of their attempts.  This project is lyrical and very nostalgic. In other words,"The New 94" brings back good old feelings.

N4CER-Limitless Review

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sometimes living in a state (Alabama) with a"small music market" and always being overlooked and criticized musically, it can leave a artist feeling limited. On the other hand for Anniston rapper, N4CER...he enjoys those odds. He lets the rap game know his attitude towards the situation by bringing us his mixtape, "Limitless".  N4CER brings lyrics, club bangers, emotional tracks and even humorous skits on the mixtape. He is somewhat of a triple threat rapping, producing and engineering (some along with Tella Boy) the project. Bringing this mixtape and also running his label, Flawless Ambitions Music, N4CER is showing the game that he has no limits!

Cee Lo Green on The Voice Judges and Goodie Mob Reunion Album

Contributor : Chris G. A Rocky Williform CompanyCee-Lo Green offered an update on his upcoming project with Goodie MOB, Age Against the Machine. Cee-Lo says that the album is basically completed, but he told Fuse that the group is waiting on a few guest artists and some mixing."I have a new album with Goodie MOB and we're looking forward to releasing it in first quarter," he said. "It's tentatively titled Age Against the Machine. We're still mixing and doing a few more guest appearances and putting the final touches on it, but yes, it's pretty much done.""I think we've grown a great deal in the last 10 years," he added. "There's a lot more to consider. There's a broader audience and a greater aspiration to reach as many people as we can, to be as relateable, to be as real, relevant and resourceful as we can. So Age Against the Machine is symbolic of wisdom being the weapon of choice. Those rules will apply."

Tennessee's Titan rapper Starilto gives clear visions of the streets of the 615 in Funerals & Court dates.

SpinDoctor Sessions with DJ New ERA

SC: Where you repping? 

NE: Im repping Bham, AL (westside Bound)  

SC: How did you get the name "new era"?  

NE: The name New Era Came from the idea of me always wearing hats I own over 100 Fitted Caps. My partner in College asked me to Dj His house party an i showed up with 2 hats not knowing which one to wear at the time. So he said man ur name should be DJ New Era. I took it and ran with it. Shout out to my homie Brad for booking me my first Gig.  

SC: To you, How important is fashion in hip hop? 

NE: Fashion is very important. Image is everything. Looks alone can get get you very far 

SC: How long have you been djing?
NE: I've been djing going on 8 years now.  

SC: Who have you worked with/hosted for?  
NE: I've hosted mixtapes for artist such as Young Joc, KD, Tc Gambino, Spank Lee, MikeWill, Young Enfamous, and many More. I've worked with artist such as Gangsta Boo, Jha Jha (First Lady Of Dipset), DJ Paul, Stuey Rock, La Da BoomMan, La The Darkman, and many more.  

SC: Do you feel hip hop is on he rise or decline?
NE: I feel hip hop is on a rise due to all the new artist coming in the game. The old heads can hate but the new artist bringing good music.  

SC: With that answer, Do you feel that the old school artists hate on the younger generation is the biggest problem with it?
NE: Old school artist create lanes for the new school artist. Without old school there would be no new school. Fashion an music repeats itself  

SC: Do you feel that mixtapes are the new albums for artists now?  
NE: Mixtapes are the new album. One quality mixtape can get u a long way in the business.  

SC: What are some problems you are seeing in hip hop with artists and the fans?  
NE: The main problem is lack of grind when dealing with artist. Some artist think a mixtape is the key to getting a deal. The key to getting a deal is street credit and fan base. You can drop a mixtape all day but my major concern is booking you for a show an no one shows up to support. I wonder how is that possible with a mixtape over 5000 some downloads and 20,000 some views. The mixtape game has it's lows, because artist can pay for the image rather than earn the respect. My problem with fans is that they are not willing to support. I go based off actions not off of what you say your going to do. Fans determine the success of some artist.  

SC: Tell us 3 tips artists can need to know in order to get spins from you?  
NE: 1. Have a Plan 2. Be upfront 3. Stay Loyal  

SC: Any shout outs?  
NE: I wanna shout out my Engineer (Tc Da Don) Shout out to My State Alabama Shout out to any Dj and artist that has every supported me I'm all about building the money is the last focus.
