Boston's own Alternative Singer/Songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Jamie Alimorad captures nothing but independence with his latest hit, "Lucky Me." The first anniversary of Jamie's album "This Is Tomorrow Calling" is quickly approaching. A couple of tracks off the project landed him a variety of nominations while winning Song of the Year and Pop Song of the Year in the 24th annual U.S.A. Songwriting Competition. His recent hit "Lucky Me" alongside his adorably animated lyric video serves optimism at its finest. Jamie Alimorad sings a tale of moving forward from complicated relationships and discovering himself again with a compelling need for independence. With easy-listening instrumentals and an alternative-folk approach, Jamie Alimorad easily inspires others to remember what brings them joy without finding it in others. "Lucky Me" begins with a cheerful mid-tempo beat and a slight blend of jazz and folk instrumentals, creating a very easy space for the listener's ears to stay peeled. While the animated lyric video pushes through with cute edits sketched out in black and white, Jamie Alimorad's vocals take the track into this unbothered space where he begins to value his independence again. The instrumentals are incredibly groovy with each drum pattern, and the overall natural feel that his acoustic guitar effortlessly delivers. Singing a story of meeting someone just to part ways with them, Jamie Alimorad brings a refreshing take on a break-up with "Lucky Me," while continuing to inspire others through his bright and motivational music. Hey Jamie, and welcome back to BuzzMusic. Since your previous interview with us, what's been keeping you busy these days? How do you find inspiration to keep making music during these unnerving times? When this madness started, I was very much doing everything I could to keep myself busy. My tour was canceled, and suddenly I had all this extra time. I decided to go back to basics. All the rudimentary exercises on piano and guitar, and extra focus on playing and singing simultaneously, which is something I don't do a lot in a live show. It was refreshing, and it allowed me to pick myself apart constructively. I did a lot of writing in April, but almost entirely music. I still haven't found much energy to write lyrics. I'm still figuring out what I want to say. I noticed I was putting more pressure on myself to be creative, instead of letting it flow, so I've allowed myself to just be. There are no deadlines, there's nothing scheduled, just go with it. Regarding your song "Lucky Me," why did you want to share a song that highlights the bright side of a break-up, rather than simply wallowing in sadness? "Lucky Me" was therapy. I had gone through a bad breakup and I was angry. I had my heart ripped out, and I had so much pent up inside. One day it just poured out. The original lyric is even more exaggerated and much longer, and boy did it feel good to get it out. I shared it with a friend who was like, "Damn! You even ripped her dog!" I was really angry. Once I got the raw emotion out, I was able to chisel at it to get it to the final lyric you hear on the recording. There's a comedy in tragedy, and life goes on. Why continue to be sad? I let my negative emotions out in the first draft, then I could do it level headed and have a little fun with it. How did you come up with the cute concept for the song's lyric video? Did you collaborate with any animators for the video? My friend Ilana Schwartz is an incredible artist and animator. We met at a private Nintendo event a few years ago, and she brought in this coffee cup that she drew the entire Smash Bros. roster on. A Java Doodle. It was unbelievable! We've remained close friends, and she now works for Disney. She has her own comics and cartoon, and I told her I wanted to do a lyric video together. "Lucky Me" is a New York song, and it doesn't get much more New York than a coffee cup, so I said why not turn the characters into Java Doodles? It's the perfect image for the lyrics. She had the idea to add a layer of live footage in the background, which Zack Morrison filmed, and bam! Lyric video! Since the release of your latest album This Is Tomorrow Calling, have you noticed much growth in your following and fanbase? How do you plan on keeping your listeners entertained for the long run? There's been a HUGE growth in my streaming numbers! The album is rapidly approaching 500,000 streams on Spotify alone! Sales have been strong, and it certainly doesn't hurt that "Brighter Days" won Song of the Year and Best Pop Song in the 2019 USA Songwriting Competition, and "Not Ready To Say Goodbye" received a 2019 Hollywood Music In Media Award nomination for Best Male Vocal. I've been more active on social media, and I'll be posting more performance stuff. I stayed away from that at the beginning of lockdown because everybody was doing it, but now I feel I really want to get some stuff out there. My originals and covers. What has been keeping you inspired throughout 2020? 2020 has shown me just how precious life is. We're fortunate enough to live in a free nation, and it's easy to get spoiled in Southern California. All those things you say, "Eh, I'll do it tomorrow," Don't. The world was functioning, and then it all just stopped. Where do we go from here? How do we learn from this? I've spent the time really learning about myself, really understanding who I am. It's been enlightening, invigorating, and exceptional. Change and growth start with the individual. I only want the best me out there. That's my drive. That's my inspiration. instagram.com/jamiealimorad facebook.com/jamiealimorad #BUZZMUSIC

Melbourne's own Tanya George releases her thrilling title track to her upcoming EP "Normality." You may already be familiar with the unique musical stylings of Tanya George, as her technical vocal looping isn't something to miss. Creating music that mostly resides within A cappella, Tanya George is exuding natural talent for listeners to bask in. Especially with her recent hit "Normality," Tanya George crafted this track with countless vocal layers that add deepened texture to the track. Her firm delivery pushes through while her lyrics question preconceived notions of normality and what society considers normal. "Normality" begins with a gleeful acapella beat consisting of Tanya George's warm and fiery vocals. She wastes no time and jumps into this track with powerful energy that pushes modern-day music norms and continues to wow us with each transition. Her verses are full of authenticity and originality as she delivers such clever lyricism that lines up with the track's contagious rhythm. Not only is Tanya George questioning society's version of normality, but she exceeds expectations with her unique vocal delivery and intricate vocal looping. The underlying beat (being Tanya's tightly-wound vocals) keeps the track bumping with a playful energy that has the listener locked in for more. We've truly never heard anything like Tanya George's music, especially with her title track "Normality" that pushes musical boundaries and keeps us tuned in for more. Hey Tanya and thank you for sitting down with us at BuzzMusic. What inspired the lyrical message within your song "Normality," and what made you want to create a track that highlights authenticity? I was questioning; what makes life normal? I find it so interesting that certain parts of humanity consider standard parts of life to be normal and other parts to be abnormal. For example, if an employee wears a suit to work that's considered normal but if they wore a Pikachu costume that would be very abnormal. Why? I have never lived a normal typical life so at times I feel like normality is mad at me. 2020 is a perfect example of how we aren't living what we consider our normal lives. Seeing as your track "Normality" was engineered by Jimmy Alexander, what was the production process like when laying down your vocals as the song's main beat? I had written the whole EP in 4 days. In the studio, we broke down all the sections one at a time. Usually, I started recording the drums first by beatboxing. Then we would move to sing bass sounds followed by layering the harmonies which would make up the chords like a guitar or piano followed by extra parts, lead vocals, backing vocals, and lastly harmonies. Normality is definitely the hardest to execute live- I need double loopers for it. What made you choose this route with your music and create scorching acapella that pushes modern-day musical boundaries? I wanted to challenge the preconceived idea of what makes normal pop music. It also came from busking solo, I couldn't afford a new guitar so I just used my voice on the streets to create the instruments or sounds I wanted. It stuck and people liked it. Do you feel that acapella is more or less tedious than laying down an instrumental beat? It's cool because I personally never refer to my songs as acapella, I always call it vocal looping. I think I have always viewed my voice on the same level as playing an instrument. I feel like my vocal looping comes from a very heartfelt place and it's really personal. It's definitely more creative and challenging for me than laying down instrumental beats. Can you give us a sneak peek of what we should expect regarding your upcoming EP "Normality"? Lots of vocal layers and harmonies! I am emulating what instruments would fill out so they are full tracks. The 6 track EP is a journey; it starts with an intro one main vocal message discussing the voice as one of the most important parts, followed by Writing Machine, Normality, Woodland, an interlude which discusses a lot of thoughts and what the songs are about and My Hymn to end. What makes the project different from your previous bodies of work? My "Normality" EP is a completely solo project people have seen me perform when I busk. I wrote and I'm producing everything you hear. The next album will have my band back on it. What has been keeping you inspired throughout 2020? I think the will to not give up and be defeated by no live music. It's been hard to stay inspired and to promote my music but by pushing through I just want to remind and encourage other emerging artists to not give up. Keep going, keep pushing! So much can easily bring you down in music. You just have to stay strong and stay true to what you love. instagram.com/tanyageorgemusic facebook.com/tanyageorgemusic #BUZZMUSIC

Toronto-based R&B/Soul artist and Singer/Songwriter LAII releases a smooth and wise single titled "Wait A Minute." While her music reflects the melodic 90s R&B era, it's safe to say that these inspirations have not only helped LAII find her own seamless sound, but also helped her portray the deep passion that runs within her. Deftly-produced by SLWJMZ, LAII's recent single "Wait A Minute" reminds listeners to be aware of falling too fast, and emphasizes the importance of taking passionate endeavors one day at a time. LAII's satin-soft vocals grace the track with hypnotizing melisma and an effortless vibrato, as she expels a rational and knowledgeable message full of growth. Opening the track with filtered drums that push into a smooth R&B beat, "Wait A Minute" is jam-packed with talent from SLWJMZ's soulful production and LAII's dreamy vocals. With regards to the instrumentals, what keeps our ears peeled is the variety of synths and keys that SLWJMZ provides within the track, giving the listener this sweet musical space blessed with tranquility. LAII's angelic vocals soar over the production while she sings lyrics of looking back on her past and learning from it to prepare for her fearless future. With a groovy production breakdown around the bridge, LAII's vocal chops create this funky jam for the listener to dance away. We're nothing but impressed with the Toronto artist LAII and her peaceful single "Wait A Minute." We're left hoping that LAII and SLWJMZ will soon create another bop for our ears and souls. Listen to "Wait A Minute" here. Hello LAII, and welcome to BuzzMusic. You've genuinely mesmerized us with your wise and warm single, "Wait A Minute." What made you want to create a song that surrounds a message of looking before you fall? Wow. First of all, thank you! Creating this challenged me to channel some of my own experiences. I’ve been in situations where I’ve met someone new and I was just overwhelmed with the feelings of being genuinely excited because you just click with the person. Through those feelings, it’s easy to rush into things a lot faster than you’re ready for. This song is a gentle reminder to take things slow because only then do you get to truly know the person and grow instead of getting all that comes from a fast and sometimes fleeting connection. What was it like working with SLWJMZ for your single "Wait A Minute"? What was your collaborative process like, and how did you work off each other? SLWJMZ is just a wizard. I love working with him. We’ve done a few records together and I feel like we click really well and he knows what I like. I literally came to him with a song I’ve been obsessed with, (Sandstorm – Mereba & JID) used that as inspiration and went from there. Throughout the whole creative process, I really appreciate how he challenges me not just through the music but through lyrics as well. He gets me to double back and re-think and re-write certain lines which are rare. You've mentioned that your inspirations lie within the nostalgic 90s R&B era. Do you have any specific artists whose music naturally pulled you in deeper? Ah yes. 90s R&B. Honestly, it’s my soul. It was the first music that was introduced to me growing up and I listen to A LOT of music –so everything that I create, has some sort of flare from that era. Specifically, Destiny’s Child, Brandy, Xscape, TLC, Aaliyah, and Usher. I naturally gravitate to songs with deep, rich harmonies so I try to include an element of that in my music. Is there anything you'd like to mention to our readers to help get to know you better as an artist? How do you want your brand to be perceived by listeners? I write from my own experiences as well as friends' experiences so if you’re my friend you might hear your story in one of my songs lol. I like to take my time and fully learn about a subject before writing about it. I’m also a very Zen person so I feel like my music also comes out very chill, and hopefully soothing haha. I want my brand to come across as calm and smooth to match the music and vibes that I create. What has been keeping you inspired throughout 2020? 2020 has definitely been a strange year for everyone. Honestly, people’s strength amazes me and keeps me inspired every day. It’s not an easy thing to go through a pandemic and everyone’s situation may be different for better or for worse. I’m also inspired by the amount of music coming out that’s been so vulnerable and real. I love that everyone is challenging themselves to create real and much-needed content. instagram.com/laii.music #BUZZMUSIC

Toronto based Hip-Hop artist A.O. Gorman has an extraordinary way of cutting through to the core of his audience. He taps into his 90's reminiscent influencers through productions that impart a laid back submission into the world of Hip Hop and R&B blending music coming out of the Lake-Facing Canadian metropolis. And extending from that, with an enthusiasm for music that intervened in his life at an early age, A.O. has developed his handling over songwriting. In turn, his lyricism works in exposing a genuine connection to the issues surrounding the unjust climate of America as well as the more light-hearted topics found throughout this record. Here on "In My Thoughts," the conscious attitude with which he broadcasts his sometimes sensual R&B reflecting vibes are magnetic, ultimately proving to be addicting. It's the type of Extended play that incorporates a broad range of artistic textures that A.O. has developed and grown comfortable in displaying; from his golden age Hip-hop style to rocking R&B alternatives that support a more laid back disposition in sway. The opening track comes in on a flowy and mesmeric slide before a scattering of 32nd notes riffle off on the hi-hats prefaces the punching midsection of the drums ahead. Here, on "Free Flow," the samples run repetitious, but it doesn't stand deflective of A.O.'s energetic and bullet piercing flow and cantor. With whispers that flush and swell across the backdrops of this mix, it's probably the most modern and deep city sounding cut off of this extended play. It establishes a ghostly setting before devastating with a killer delivery of verbosity and rhythm over lyrics that weigh heavy with storytelling and description. Peculiarly, this song feels a little bit like sitting amongst the shadows of a campfire in the middle of a haunting specters tale about the woods behind you. In this way, it shows spooky in texture but never edges on the terminus of unpleasant. The next track evaporates into existence through a mist of distant and whimsical echos of vocals that sound enigmatic and fair. It ends up sound like old school R&B in the way it sails in all smooth-like with the congas, then an addictive topline melody, and eventually AO Gorman's wicked vibing mantra, "swing your body girl, you got it, girl, I just wanna rock your world." Sensual, with cascading melodies and whispering harmonies, this song cuts as the most forward love-making beat off the record, establishing as music that wouldn't be outrageous to get warm and loving to, and more exposed when he says, "we can quarantine and chill." "I.M.T." comes with a profound message relating to the continuing injustice surround the unsolicited deaths of innocent Americans at the hands of authority. It's 90's reminiscent and reflective of Ice Cube's storytelling cantor and flow from something like "Today Was A Good Day." or Nas in the early years. But here, A.O. uses this influence to express a critical message, the help of whispering ad-libs that injects this song with character and attention-grabbing texture also imparting a head-bob inducing vibe. With this framework, we can picture a healthy mindset around in the climate surrounding America with A.O.'s strong landing messages, organizing the immediate need for equity. "Give Thanks" is next and grows of its predecessor's tail end as it evolves into a story about giving thanks and asking for strengths from the hailing powers above, whatever they may be. He does this all under the umbrella of a dripping organ solo support. Then there are fragments of upliftment and storytelling prowess through the vibrant pictures painted in "Take You Home," about the love and devotion a father has to his newborn kin. It masquerades amongst a slowed down half-tempo beat, and a mesmerizing backdrop of angelic vocal swells, as it describes the whole story behind his daughters birth. It's a dynamic and endearing display of the type of expression, vibe, and accounts this artist is capable of easily describing with his lyricism and golden-age reflective in the productions and instrumentations of AO Gorman's "In My Thoughts," breaking through to the core of his audience once more. Discover "In My Thoughts" here. Hello A.O. Gorman and thank you for joining us at BuzzMusic. What was the process of creating this record and releasing it amongst the dynamic and upset climate of 2020? The process was tough but instinctive.  As a natural creator, I leaned on my creative juices to weather through stressful and gloomy moments as they transpired through world events. I tapped into my inner core to create music which was very personal to me. With a series of events taking place in 2020, I felt like the perfect opportunity presented itself to share my personal life with the world and how I managed it through my EP release “In My Thoughts”. The feedback has been tremendous and has motivated me to keep on pushing forward, harder than ever. What were the challenges you faced in deciding how to curate each track on this record, in order to impart that long last afterglow of which you are known for? It took me 3 weeks to record this project in the midst of a pandemic. Because the studio was closed, I decided to go on Amazon and order all the home studio equipment needed to record myself. I got into a car accident and had to stay home for two months and with the birth of my firstborn child a week after the accident, I forced myself to lock in and record my most personal and impactful project to date hence the title “In My Thoughts”. I was going through so much in my personal life that music was the only way to vent or express my true feelings. I figured that I would capture a moment in history by making a 3-week time capsule of music that represented my Summer of 2020. What stands out as your most impactful and favorite playing back from this record as a whole? and why? It definitely is the main single “I.M.T”. This single is the EP wrapped up in one track. It embodies what the entire EP is about from having my first child, a major car accident, and the uprising of black people in response to the murder of George Floyd, as well as my inspiration for being a man. What are you most excited for with Summer on it's way out and Autumn bringing a new unknown fortune with it I’m just focused on creating captivating and creative music that represents the current landscape and mood during that time. I feel like I have so much more that I want to say to the world that I’m locked in the day and day out. So with the fall coming, I feel like it’s time to collaborate with other like-minded Emcees in Toronto, throughout Canada and internationally. instagram.com/thisisao #BUZZMUSIC

From Tucson, Arizona, Belinda is a singer, poet, and creative writer who has just released an EP as a prolific songwriter. The Religious EP is called 'The Process,' where Belinda aims to spread a message of joy and love regardless of race, gender, and culture. Having sung in church and school choirs since she was young, Belinda has always had an admiration for all types of music (which is evident in her EP). Working with a total of six other artists, Belinda spreads a message of unity and positivity through her EP “The Process.” “How Excellent” is the first track of the EP. Belinda collaborated with artist Phoenix Alexander on this track to set the tone for the rest of the EP. With a harmonious soundscape, “How Excellent” is a slower-paced song with simple lyrics. She continues to repeat the question “oh lord, my lord, how excellent is your name?” This song is a graceful introduction to “The Process” theme of religion and positivity. “The Way He Sees Me” is Belinda’s only solo song of the EP. This track is an ode to self-love and self-actualization. She sings about the world’s ability to obscure how we really see ourselves. Her lyrics depict a journey of “seeing me the way that he sees me.” With “The Way He Sees Me,” Belinda shows fans that they are enough and worthy of their own love. Like the song the EP is named after, “The Process” takes a chunk of the spotlight. In collaboration with Phoenix Alexander and Anita DeFreitas, Belinda shows us what this EP is really about through her songwriting. The vocalists repeat the feeling of not wanting to go through “The Process,” but that it’s the only way to get to the other side where victory lies. The message behind this song (and the EP) is that having faith and putting in the work will certainly be worth it in the end. To top off the beautiful message of “The Process,” the vocalists sing together with angelic harmonies, truly making this song the highlight of the EP. In collaboration with Phoenix Alexander (once again) and Sydnie Jones, Belinda created the song “One Touch.” This track has more of an upbeat soundscape and motivational message. They sing about their journey to coming face to face with Jesus. Many lyrics are dedicated to describing the effort required for the journey. Nevertheless, Belinda continues to sing “I won’t give up till… I get one touch.” “Blessed and Unstoppable” certainly stands out on the EP as the only song with Hip-Hop flavors. Belinda teamed up with Ridge Wilson and Payton Goldston, who both have a Hip-Hop music style. With an upbeat and hopeful backtrack, Ridge Wilson includes phrases like “Jesus is king” and “you can’t stop my destiny” as he raps his catchy verses. Belinda’s lyrics for the song point to the fact that God has already written his plan, which cannot be undone, and there is nothing haters can do to change that. “Blessed and unstoppable” is sung as a battle cry, inspiring to the listener the motivational message that they are unstoppable with God on their side. As the bonus track of “The Process” EP, “I wonder” holds true to the biblical message of positivity. Belinda worked with Elbert Jonesbonus, who is unforgettable due to his alluring, textured voice. His throaty vocals are filled with passion and include flavors of blues, jazz, and gospel-style sounds. Belinda’s lyrics for “I wonder” paint a picture of a world with more positivity. She sings about how quick people are to ‘hate on one another,’ and how such hasty judgments cause us to ‘waste precious time.’ “I wonder” describes human kindness in its purest form; grabbing hands and ‘trying a little love.’ “I wonder” is the perfect song to tie up the album because it acts as a summary of all of Belinda’s inspiring messages. instagram.com/me1shay facebook.com/belinda.handy #BUZZMUSIC

The Canadian artist mixing moody, melodic and sensual musical creations under the moniker "Ceesar" is specialized in bestowing any production he touches with an enamoring glow, courtesy of his strikingly melodic toplines that garnish songs like "Drunkin Text," a three-minute-long escapade that feels like an RnB-fusion expedition through the celestials. But this year, as we reach the tail end of August, Ceesar takes full advantage of the summer's collaborative spirit with EP 'Hustle & Passion,' his latest addition to the explosive hooks found in the Ottawan's magnetically attracting catalog, with his co-producer Lynx by his side. With a backdrop of samples that radiate the same heat as the star we orbit around, "Day 2 Day" trumpets upward into the stratosphere the same way the chorus foreshadows the young budding artist's career trajectory. Amongst a collaboration of skittering sixteenth notes and a wholesome low-end, that's sure to recede any bass junkies guttural cravings, Ceesar's futuristically affected vocals complete the adhesive melody of the topline, "you can tell I'm on my, on my way to fame, you can tellin I'm living it, killing it day to day." Ceesar sings with ominous depth as the echoing reflections of his monochromatic voice dissipate back into the most picturesque parts of our mind, where R&B meets a whole new universe of new-wave vibes. It's as if Ceesar and Lynx formulated a masterplan in osmosing our attention away from any shouldering musical newcomer who lacks in moody luster and gritty brightness, as they utilize "Day 2 Day" and all its boastful themes as their centerpiece in this crafty stratagem of bringing our ears to their rightful home this summer. ceesarmusic.com

Toronto, CA, based Pop artist Nix releases a radiant summer single titled, "Fools."

An animated track that keeps your energy and self-worth at a high, Nix's single "Fools" truly takes you on an electric ride. Hi Nix, thanks for joining us at BuzzMusic. It's great to chat with you. What inspired your new single "Fools" and its lyrical message of moving forward from the past? I wrote this song pre-COVID 19, but I think it’s most relatable right now during this pandemic, when people aren’t going on traditional in-person dates, and our main way of finding love or something casual has been through our phones and computers. “Fools” is about the toxic online dating culture, and how shitty it feels to be ghosted and led on. In terms of the song’s message, I realized one day that enough is enough, and I will no longer let people make me feel like a fool, for their foolish actions. The production within your single "Fools" is incredibly textured and delivers an electrifying atmosphere. Did you have help with the track's production, and what was the sonic creative process like? Thank you! All credit on the production goes to my producer Nick Schwarz. He is a genius. I remember when I first heard it, I was so excited to start writing to it. I like to add a little flavor here and there… more bass here, a little fewer vocals there, etc. but Nick is the foundation of the production. Within "Fools," we're able to hear this broad and energetic electro-pop sound. Does your music usually reside with this electronic pop approach? Pop music is what I grew up on, it’s what I still listen to, and I am a huge fan of other electro-pop artists like Ellie Goulding and Lady Gaga. That being said, however, electro-pop isn’t a sub-genre that I stick to… I like to explore many types of pop - but this particular sub-genre is definitely a favorite of mine! We've noticed that you've worked with a variety of notable producers and songwriters. How have these professional sessions helped your music flourish, and how have these creators impacted your career? Working with high-profile producers and songwriters has helped me take my career to the next level. Being a musician is all about having killer music - and a hit song. So it helps when you are working with the best of the best to make that happen. I am so humbled and grateful to have worked with a number of talented writers and producers to help me unleash my true potential. What has been keeping you inspired throughout 2020? What can we expect to see next from you? Though it feels like the world came to an absolute halt this year, the saving grace for me was art. I took a nosedive into music, films, and tv shows that kept me inspired. Stay tuned for another single after “Fools” and some exciting merch that I will be launching! Hopefully, by 2021 we can get back on the road and do some live shows. instagram.com/itsnixyall nixmusic.ca #BuzzMusic #pop #losangeles #release #music

He uses a fastidious flow, a throbbing sub, and kitsch topline hook—he uses these elements to accouche a stimulating narrative in his new Music Video for the caroming cadence flow found on "Dinner Plate." It's a visual that provides an astute rendering of his own psyche in the form of a boxing ring, with the Lousianna dramatist himself dodging upper-cuts and left-hooks while wrangling down his foe to his final submission. For anyone just now finding out about VV Snipes, this experience presents as an engaging first encounter. The Louisiana rapper's enticing visual semantics and his imputed affecting Hip-Hop sound can be found atop a melodic vessel in the chorus when he raps with a fervency that presents clean: "It is a feast, but I'm the preacher, they listen, we gotta eat, the way that your living got reasons." Here, the sketch VV Snipes designs is mercurial when we reach the final scenes, and with an abundance of head-bobbing, simmering trap-vibe; he manages to extend past his predecessors with festooned mix centered around his bouncy cantor while aiming for a more egalitarian approach by tapping into all his most potent influences for this outstanding result. What can you remember as being the most exciting moment or part of filming the Dinner Plate Music Video? My most exciting moment was at the beginning of the visual. No one really knew what to expect. Everyone just knew there was going to be some wrestling going on. The scene where I’m surrounded by fans at the black entrance was so exciting. I truly felt like a real wrestler. It was so hype. Could you describe the reactions you were trying to provoke through the themes highlighted in the single and its associate video accompaniment? The reaction I was trying to pull from the viewer and listener was that it’s deeper than the surface when it comes to artistic visions. I and my partner Marc88 wanted to create a true film, not just a typical video rapping in front of a camera. We’re both big on visuals and concepts. We wanted the wrestling fans to be able to watch the video and it created nostalgia. That’s exactly what it did to some viewers. Which is dope. How did the idea for this Music Video manifest itself, and was the most crucial component of its visual rendering were you most concerned about getting right? The idea truly came out of nowhere. It truly manifested itself and we nurtured it to become something much more than a thought. The vibe of the song gave us the idea to have a boxing match at first. We decided to spice it up and turn it into a wrestling match. Wrestling matches are more exciting and on edge. We were most excited about getting the acting scenes right for the fighting scene. I’ve never acted before, so it was definitely an experience. I was so connected to the acting though once I started. The people at the shoot thought I’veacted before. Can we anticipate any more new Music Videos for any of the other captivating cuts from your last album? Most definitely, I’ll say I have about 3 up my sleeve right now. But who knows, more concepts may pop up. Shooting videos is truly therapeutic. instagram.com/vvsnipes instagram.com/marceighty8 instagram.com/dusavision #BUZZMUSIC
