.... Tuesday, August 7, 2007 Young Hersh is not your typical M.C. from the Gump. His substance, hustle, and swag brings a new light to the Gump music scene. Not only is he creating a new look for the Gump but he’s bringing swag music to the table. T. Scott: So, how long have you been rapping? Hersh: Since I was eight or nine, so I have been doing it for about 15 years. T. Scott: What made you decide to do it professionally ? Hersh: I think when I was five, my mom took me to a Run D.M.C concert, I ‘ve been hooked ever since than. Plus I love music and I just happen to be real fly at it. It chose me. T. Soctt: Dat’s hot, so have you been a solo artist your whole career or did you start in a group? Hersh: Naw, I started in a group called Kalaso, it was me , my homboy’s B, Z and lil Twist and we was a group for about 4 years . The group began to break up when Twist left the group and joined Black Clowns and than I left in 2001, but the remaining members are still together.( shout out to Kalaso and Twist.) T Scott: So, what inspires you to do what you do? Hersh: The lack of talent in the game, and music is one of the easiest ways besides TV to get your message across. You can make one song and change millions of lives, it’s like a character in a movie , you can do what ever with the music, you can be broke and write a song about having money and it will motivate you to get money. Music is powerful. T. Scott: With that being said, how do you feel about the state of Gump music? Hersh: The music scene is something I haven’t seen in a long time, honestly I’m feeling all the artist that‘s active . It‘s a different sound, but I would like to see more unity, I would like to see more cliques and artist working together. As well as labels putting together shows and different groups putting together record pools and little functions , but it will all come, through time. A couple of year’s ago local artist was trying to kill each other,at least we can do a show together and when everybody gets off stage, it’s all love. I would like to see more mix tapes, but my biggest problem is the local radio stations, they don’t support artist like they should. You can here a song by Solider Boy and they will play that 50 times on both stations which is 100 spins , a major label see’s that and be like dang Solider Boy really doing it in Montgomery, but its artist in Montgomery that are a thousand times better than that and have grind a lot harder and we right here ,where he’s getting props from, and we can’t even get 5 spins a week, it’s kind of like crabs in the barrow mentally. I’ve been all over Alabama and we have some of the hottest diverse artist here, but it’s no support system. T. Scott: What about the state of hip- hop in general? Hersh: I love it. It’s about time the South got on, it could be more creative, I don’t believe everybody was a dope boy, if you was a dope boy how did you have time to perfect your rap? I don’t think there’s enough of a message coming out of the music. You can do the same party song , I’m a mack song, but still have a message . If you know that you do not have a choppa on your tour bus and you know, you have five security guards , don’t say you going to shoot the club up with a choppa every song. The people that’s listening to you ,are really living out, what they think you are doing. Music is universal language ,people listen to it and live off of it, people have to be conscious of that. It needs to be a little more positive and more of a message. I’m not saying you have to be a Common or Kanye but still more of “Cadillac 22s†, “Heaven Got A Ghettoâ€, and “Live In The Sky.†T. Scott: What are some of your up incoming events? Hersh: I got the Meet The Boss mix tape series 1, 2 and 3. One is out right now, the chop and screw album will be out in September. 2 and 3 should be coming in the next quarter. We also got the Meet The Boss DVD ,which we are working on. The DVD showcases how to translate one hustle to another hustle. My DVD starts off breaking down my definition of a hustle, the process of recording a project, to marketing, promoting and putting a project out, to the outcome . It’s the beginning to the end of a project and really showing how the street and the music industry is not that different. I’m trying to show if you can do this than you can do anything. I got a production team wit my business partner K.C. from ground zero, we are doing a lot of ghost writing for a lot of people in the industry. I’m also working on Khao’s Gangster Grill album, you going to hear me own that, as well as Khao’s Burn One, and his album. I’m also branching out and doing something with some Mobile folks. I got some things in the works with Grand Hustle, some deal offers, I’m working with Interscope and Atlantic. I’m also trying to get my record label together Misfit Music which some of my artist consist of Money Boy Mills, Show T, a lil artist named D.J., who’s eleven, ladies are going to love him and a west coast rapper named Jimmy Callaway. My lil brother Payday and Mills are formulating a group. The group is a mixture of street and raw hip hop. It’s a Cassidy and a lil bossie combination. Of course we got the barber shop Gentleman’s Spot at 344R McGee road and I also do club promotions at Diamonds on Thursdays. We should be bringing some concerts in September . We trying to stay busy and motivated. T. Scott: So if you had to describe your music in 3 words what would it be Hersh : I can do 2 , swag music http://www.misfit/ mixtapes.com myspace/ young harsh posted by Taira Scott @ 8:35 AM2 Comments:At August 7, 2007 10:46 AM, Authentic Team said...
