http://www.wix.com/edmonsta/edmonstaYesterday i had the opportunity to sit down with the latest artist signed to allentown based tribeland records ed monsta. Eds been heavy on his grind so far in 2011 starting off heavy with the black and yellow remix with campground abe to his recent allignment with tribleland now bare with me this isnt set up in a normal interview format to do me having to write everything down but i do have the basic information he supplied me with so sorry ed if it isnt word for word but it is what you gave me
what are his plans for 2011:
Plans on releasing mixtapes all year long and staying heavy on his grind. He believes its important to get your name out before dropping an album. Wants to get heavy on the show tip stating that shows are the best way to get your name out to a broader audiance.
His inspiration:
early 90's hip-hop scene when the rap game was looking to be peaking.
On his views on selling out:
Belives no one can trully answer this question. He does wanna stay true to his music but raising kids and econonomic struggles and if the money was right would take the leap to mainstream to supply for his family.
(i deffintly see this statement of a true artist, most emcee's now aday would sellotu for fame fortune bling and girls, but when he gave me this answer i could tell his minds set on giving his family the best life could give i deffintly respect ed)
his view on the local scene:
theres alot of talented emcees out of the valley but theres also alot of bad quiity that dooms some emcees.
(we discussed this and aggreed that soemtimes you have to put out bad quility tracks hopihg someone would here you and help you with studio time0
does he consider himself a versitile emcee:
states he can rap on every subject and emcees liek kanye west opened up the doors to rap about whatever you want and still make it in the rap game.
what can we expect from his debute mixtape:
he has his new project linked to some of the most respected prodcuers in the lehigh valley including jd of stunt dubs, m-dot of grind factory, nation of undivided attention, and majk of tribeland.
status of the mixtape"
currently has about 12 songs out nothing recorded wants perfection and not just wanting to push out material just to push out material like we both agreed alot of artist are doing now adays.
OVERALL: ED MONSTa has his head on straight when it comes to want he wants out of his music and deffintly has the correct midnstate to suceed. deffintly cant wait to see what else he has in store for 2011
lets see if he really has what it takes.
