We’ve just received a nice little mix from an up and coming beat maker from Maryland. The following is a little interview and following a little interview and track listing.
_______________________________
Who are you?
I go by the alias of 00Genesis. I’m a beatmaker/ producer/ artist/ song writer. I’ve been doing beats for a couple of years now and am currently associated with international artists such as:
Jneiro Jarel
Muhsinah
Kidnap (Slumgullion)
fLako
Jackhigh
Where are you located and how old are you?
I live in Maryland, US, but I stay in my imagination aka “The Rabbit Hole.” I’m 18.
Who are some inspirations of yours – musically – current and past
It’s weird because I never thought about making beats until I heard Madvillainy in 04 and until I actually became surrounded by other producers. I just knew that this was for me and I dedicated a lot of time and was driven (and still am)!! I’m grinding it out!
But I’m definitely influenced by good music…soul driven music. In particular I look up to artists like Madlib, Jneiro Jarel, Flying Lotus, Aphex Twin, Prefuse….all the pioneers and current (dope) artists of this now “Beat Generation” movement. I also listen to a fair amount of Jazz, Indie Rock and Dance music.
Have you any insight into emerging music scenes?
Well being apart of this current beat movement, I’m just concerned in general. We all have to put our best foot forward and keep elevating so that this shit is really a movement and not just a scene….I fucking hate scenes and fads. This is real though, and I trust that everyone else (who is making moves) will respect the art and produce quality music that has longevity.
If you could put two producers into a steel cage, who would they be and who do you think would emerge victorious?
I would put Timbaland vs. Pharell…no Timbaland vs. NERD (make it fair since Timbaland is all swole now)
The fight would be intense, but in the final phases of the battle when everyone is tired and ready to deliver the finishing blow, the cage would suddenly collapse and the only support holding it up would be Timbaland’s diesel arms. So Pharell and company would try to take advantage and straight demolish him (remember it’s 3 on 1)…but Timbaland would transform into a giant dread-locked gorilla with a glass eye and a robotic arm and
….this could go on, but fuck it.
If records where edible, what would you have for an appetizer, entree, and dessert? What would you wash it all down with?
appetizer: Bob Marley
entree: Al Green
dessert: Minni Ripperton
drink: Roberta Flack
