Interview with grime artist - T






1. How long have you been in the music game?
"i started music when i was 15 messing around at mates houses on decks spitting drum and base, after a few years at around the age of 16/17 i started appearing on local pirate radio stations such as cydicuit FM, Demand UK, Original 978 & Emergency FM, this took me up to about 18/19. then i started listening to rap hip hop and grime, after experiementing with a few of my pals i started to make grime and rap music as i felt you could express yourself more with the slower BPM. leading up to around Jan 2013 i was in a group called SBR [strictly business recordinz] it consisted of me my pal Macca and one of the Dnb DJs i brought along for the ride called DJ Bonna.
between us we made around 50 different tracks ranging from grime to hiphop rap n dnb garage dubstep so forth,
 then at the start of this year i hooked up for a collab with my old pal FLEMZY a member of ODT enterprise. after we did the track he introduced me to BROLY, the boss if you like. he asked me to join the team so i did and since then i havent looked back."

2.What artists did you grow up listening to?
"coming from the drum and base scene i listend to artists such as EKSMAN & HERBZIE, SKIBADEE FUNSTA SHABBA DET but as i got older i lent towards rap n grime more and musical influences branch out to the likes of BIGGIE, 50 cent, Wiley, Skepta, Ghetto, Devlin."

3.if you could pick anyone dead or alive, who would you collaborate with and why?
"Devlin, 100% i feel his vibe that he brings with his music, fast technicle flows with killer delivery. 100% Devlin, failing that wiley as i would make a few quid as he is so commercial nowadays its unbelievable."

4.what plans have you got for the future, have you got any new materials dropping soon?
"I have My Latest EP THE TAKEOVER EP dropping on MIXTAPE MADNESS.com on the 21st of November. this is a 3 part series with the first being grime focused, the second [THE TAKEOVER PART 2] more rap and hiphop focused which should be dropping late 2014 and the last in the series THE TAKEOVER IS COMPLETE will be a 12 track mixtape with totally orignial beats produced by my man down at YELLOW BRICK MUSIC, T-A-P. this will have everything from GRIME RAP HIPHOP CYBERHOP TRAP everything the whole package!
Along the way we[ODT ENTERPRISE] will be dropping some team tracks/freestyles and also have a few features on other artists tracks, but as for now i will keep there names a mystery as i don't want to kill the surprise"

5.What was the last song you listened to?
"The last song i listened to was SIGN OUT FLOW off my EP. its the last track before the bonus track and Features the leader of ODT himself BROLY on a quick 16 bar feature! its a nice close to the EP."
6.what advice would you tell people just starting music?
"I would say take as much advice as people will give you, everyone has there own ways of doing things but you can learn a lot from people who have already been there and done it
i would say stay true to yourself and only do what makes you happy. music is about freedom of speech and expressing yourself. not trying to be a carbon copy of what you think the majors want you to be.
. i would also say if you have talent holla ODT on twitter/facebook or anyway you can as we are starting to recruit the youngers for something mad, we will be focusing on bringing through the youth and keeping them off the streets and focusing there energy into making music. its a little project that me n Broly are half way through setting up as we speak."

7. who do you prefer, Biggie or Tupac?
"Honestly i have to say BIGGIE and this being a controversial subject that is all i will say lol"

8. Do you believe in the illuminati?
"no! have no interest in it and will never have an interest in it!"

9.Do you feel that the scene is still on the rise?
"i fell like what ODT enterprise as a group are doing at the min and have in the pipeline is very good for the scene and will hopefully bring grime back! i do feel that the market is over saturated at the min with everyone tryna spit bars and 'MAKE IT' but then i also believe that in time people will fall off and only the dedicated will remain pushing in the right direction"
