I know how I feel when I hear some ILL thought provoking lyricism! It's sticks to your ribs like grandma's home cooking. I heard a quote, "People may have forgotten what you have said, but they never forget how you make them feel". Food for thought being hard, Now & Laters, difficulty of gargling peanut butter, etc. Then if you're a real listener to lyrics and dissect it, you notice multiple meanings within that line itself. One example is in "Never Ignorant" when I spew, "I even got a plate for haters/ My food for thought's harder than gargling peanut butter while blowing holes through a Now & Later." Soon as you hear that, you immediately picture yourself or someone trying to blow holes in a Now & Later UNTIL it kicks in your brain, "Wait a minute, that's impossible". I can write a book on this subject, so please, bare with me! LMAO!!! I am absolutely infatuated with imagery and wordplay! I cannot even fathom dropping a 16 without giving you some type of witty visual. Describe your writing process to the masses. One of your strengths as a lyricist is the fact that you really value words and rarely spew filler. Most of our poor or low income is many countries well to do! In many cases, they have to work twice as hard as most of us just to keep their heads above water.

They just want to hear dope music and an MC who rhymes from the heart, not his image! I met my current producers, Mixtape Meeko and Young Speez because we were stationed together in Germany.Īs far as perspective goes, overseas taught me how to be humble and grateful. The thing about overseas is that they still have appreciation for that raw witty underground sound that I feel America has forgotten due to money, politics, and pop culture influence.
Not to mention the overseas beatmakers too! I always swore if I ever got on, I'd get ALL of my beats overseas! Germany is raw with it as well.
Throwback jerseys and grills! Totally immersed in the HipHop culture. I remember seeing Japanese cats rolling in packs with timbs, hoodies, french braids, and dreaded up. I'm sure every country has their own rap icons that none of us know about. I've seen MANY military cats as well as the local national population of hiphop heads do their thing successfully. Two tours in Germany, 2 in Guam, and 1 tour in Japan. Before that, I toured overseas for 11 yrs straight. I've recently returned to the states about 2 yrs ago. Thank you! Yes! My military experience is why we are even sharing this interview as we speak. Has your military experience influenced your writing habits and perspective on the world? I want to thank you for defending our country. My lil homies back then used to be amazed because I didnt rhyme like an average 8th grader from Cali due to my east coast influence. I started off patterning my rhyme style and delivery after him by literally putting together a bunch of big words that rhymed but had no idea what they actually meant. He encompassed all of to elements to what Real MC should and needs to have.
He was the master of word play, imagery, swag, aura, all of that to me. Big Daddy Kane has and always will be my personal greatest inspiration. The imagery part has always stuck with me from the beginning which made me even want to pick up a pen in the first place. I'd literally tune out and forget other people were even in the same house with me when I got in my zone. I drove my family CRAZY! I still remember pops screaming, "Boy, get in the damn room and shut the door with that mess". Cats judged you by how well you came off the dome. Back then you couldn't spit written rhymes and get respect. Not to mention my freestyling ability as well. I'd write rhymes all of the time and keep tons of rhyme books, but never memorize them or create complete songs. I've been rhyming on and off since about 11-12 yrs old. A very passionate individual who's constantly rediscovering himself everyday. Always a fan first of raw lyricism and honest music. I am a hard working, hungry, and humble military serviceman by day and an aspiring hiphop artist. First and foremost, who is Kay Flow and where do you reside?
