on August 22, 2022 Artist Music New Music Mondays add comment

ROYCE DA 5’9 blessed the masses this past week with his new release The Heaven Experience Vol. 1. HipHopDX reports in a recent interview with Nickel Nine that he’s moving away from the previous content he’s released with this eight studio project.

“I’ve been mulling over some ideas,” he revealed. “I think I know what I’m going to do next project-wise. I don’t necessarily want to say right now just in case it ends up changing. But I have been working in a couple different directions.” It’s dope to see that he is doing the work mentally to produce better music.

WHAT TO EXPECT

The 15-track project is a nice blend of Nickel’s greatest hits including 5 new tracks. The new songs include features from Black Thought, Big K.R.I.T. and Courtney Bell. THE also contains “Hip Hop,” “Tabernacle” and the Eminem-assisted “Caterpillar.” The span of the MC’s 25 year odyssey is well documented and it’s refreshing to see him with a new take on his craft.

“I don’t want to do another dark album. That’s what I’m not doing. The world does not need another dark album from anybody.

on August 1, 2022 Artist Interviews add comment

WAVYY JONEZ is the next new artist that took the hot seat with @klassikceo for our Straight Official Sit-Downs. Check out their one-on-one down below and check out more interviews right here.

Q: What is your Name? where you’re from and what first got you interested in the entertainment industry?

My name is Wavyy Jonez . I’m From Long Island/ Strong Island New York. My interest in the entertainment industry spun from the first time I saw Erick Sermon “Just Like Music” on 106 and Park. My mom told me he was also from Long Island. I been at it ever since.

Q: Who and/or what inspires you to create?

Life is my greatest inspiration along with my family and nephew that watches everything so when I make them I think of him and can’t stop.

Q: How would you describe your sound?

My sound I won’t allow to be in a box. I’m an entertainer, though I love lyrics and wordplay and have a earlier original Hip-Hop sound but my music will be a small bit of everything. I want to reach people of all taste of music.

THE CREATIVE PROCESS

Q: What is your creative process like?

My creative process starts with how I’m feeling at the moment. When the lyrics get to flowing , I could be anywhere and my mind drifts off into rhyming words. I feel God does it because a lot of times I listen back like “wow I said that.”

Q: What artist(s) would you like to collaborate with?

All walks of life and types of creators big or small. But definitely Jay Z & Lauryn Hill for sure.

Q: What is one message you would give to your supporters?

I’d like to let my supporters know I’m very grateful for all their support. I know it could be tough supporting the music, entrepreneurial and the acting all with the same drive. I won’t stop till my 3 headed horse reigns supreme.

Q: What is the most talent/skill you have that most people don’t know about?

I think I’m still trynna figure that out myself. I surprise me sometimes too.

Music saved my life. if I wasn’t doing music or if I totally cut it out my life, I wouldn’t feel complete.
Wavyy Jonez

Q: Who are some artists/people you admire and why?

I admire artist that dare to be different. The game is a enough of the same thing. We need some really dope stands outs so I admire artist that do this their way. We’re not all gangsta and all the other stereotypes so the stand alone impress me very much.

IN CLOSING

Q: What is the best advice you’ve been given?

Best advice I’ve been given is have tough skin and be free in the game. Don’t stop & don’t give the haters something to keep hating on. They’ll eventually love me (laughs) It has really been helpful along this journey for sure.

Q: If you could change anything about the industry, what would it be?

If I could change anything it would be for artist to feel free. To create and not worry about the numbers so much but have fun with the content they share with the world. We are artist and should feel free to create regardless what the labels are saying.

12.What’s next for you, where would you like to see yourself in the next year? Next for me is more music , tv shows, more on the Kerch side coming soon as well in the next year I’d like to see myself with whatever god has planned for me just know I’m working
