DBHH Interview

Whats up NCG? Let everyone know who you are and what you do?

-Wassup to everyone and DBHH. I’m Nick Carter Green and I’m a hip hop artist out of Chicago, Illinois.

Why did you choose to use your government name as opposed to some rap moniker?

-I didn’t feel like I had to create a new character so to speak in order to be an artist. I wanted to be as real as possible and show who I was. My name is both a combination of my mom and my dad’s name and I wanted people to know where I came from.

Talk about the Chi Town influence on the last 8 years of hip hop as a whole as well as how it influenced you personally

-Chicago has really showed that we have true musical geniuses and legends being created here. Kanye, Lupe, Common, Twista, to name a few. It’s showed that everything Chicago does is classic and that has definitely influenced me. They all sort of pioneered something in their own way. It’s given me the drive and a sense of pride as an up and coming artist.

Having some predecessors such as a Kanye West, a Twista and many others, do you feel pressure representing your city?

-Absolutely not because I feel I offer the same genius that was brought before me. Pressure only comes when you are scared that something might not happen, I don’t feel that I won’t be a success and join those in the ranks.

You recently won 1^st place in the HipHopDx.com ‘Get Your Buzz Up’ Industry Showcase in Madison WI, explain your experience to our readers as well as how your performance was received by the locals.

-The experience was amazing. I sort of got lost in my performance as I…

DBHH Interview

1. Whats up Kalibur? Let everyone know who you are and what you do?

I'm KALIBUR aka the "One Man Army" from the DMV (DC, Maryland, Virginia). I'm called the "One Man Army" because I'm one of the FEW Artist who Covers ALL aspects of "Music Creation." I Write, Sing, Produce (Make Beats), Engineer, Mix, Master and Perform my OWN Music! You could lock me in a Studio ALONE... and I will Leave with a FINISHED Project.  

2. When did you start creating and how would describe your sound?

I First Started Writing and Rapping when I was 12 Years Old, I was only in Middle School (Junior High). When I was 15 yrs old, I became Professionally Trained in Classical and Jazz Piano... this evolved into Composing and Producing my Own BEATS. When I turned 21 yrs old, I learned How to Engineer Audio, Mix and Master Sound in the Studio. I'm in my Mid-20's now so all that experience made my music more polished. I would describe my Sound as Aggressive, Smooth and yet, "Organic." My Music Flows "Organically" because ALL the Sounds are Coming from ONE Pulse...Mine. Most Artist have to BUY Beats, or PAY an Engineer to Perfect their Sound... with KALIBUR MUSIC, its not watered down or diluted…

What’s up Sam Lachow? Tell us about your movement.

Waddup! I am a producer, songwriter, rapper, videographer, director, and editor of video and music. I collaborate with a variety of musicians from all over the country to combine the different skill sets and talents of different artists into full-bodied projects. I just released my first solo project titled Brand New Bike, in which I produced all of the beats on the album using all live music with no samples.

That’s a unique approach for any hip hop artist. Can you talk a little more about that process?

This project is not just a collection of songs…it is a full and complete album. Each track sounds very different than the rest and has its own creative qualities. I produced every beat on the album using live music with no samples which gives the album it’s own unique sound. The musicians I used (trumpet players, piano players, singers, guitarists, etc.) are all extremely talented and they all have their own style. It is a hip hop album with influence from all types of genres and styles.

There are a lot of artist features on the album. How did you select who you would be working with?

I feature a wide variety of artists on this album, all of whom I have a ton of respect for. I did not look to feature anybody based on their buzz or fan base. I chose them because I am a fan of their work and because I enjoy working with them. I made sure to have a nice variety of styles…
