Interview - DJ Jay Skillz

Tae:

For those that are not familiar with DJ Jay Skillz, tell us a little about yourself.

Jay Skillz:
Ok, I was born in New Orleans, moved to Houston when I was 9. I moved back to New Orleans in 2004 for school. I was a rapper at first and went by the name N.O.Sense aka NO Sense at All. Terrible now that I look back on it. (laughs) I was at Dillard in 2004 and linked up with Mike Swift at the radio station on campus, then from there I gave up rapping and I started DJing lol. That’s the condensed version I guess. (laughs)

Tae:
What makes you stand out from other DJ’s and Definition DJs in Louisiana and nationwide for that matter?

Jay Skillz:
I think I bring a different personality to it. I’m the only Chopped & Screwed DJ out here in New Orleans, I think. I’m one of the few with my radio show and I’m trying to bridge the gap between the old school and new school. I want to have the people who grew up with Big Daddy Kane, EPMD, Biggie, Pac be able to somewhat identify with the kids today listening to Soulja Boy, The New Boyz, Gucci Mane, etc. To me its all Hip-Hop its just that the music has gotten so full that it can’t just be Hip-Hop anymore. It needs sub-genres like Rock has.

Tae:

Who are your top 5 artists?

Jay Skillz:
My Top 5 Current would be, Joe Budden, Jay-Z, Scarface, 2Pac, Eminem

Tae:
Are you working on any upcoming projects?

Jay Skillz:
Yeah, I’ve got a couple projects on the horizon. MDot CDot - Come Take A Ride With Me, The Nobodys Monologues – Lyriqs Da Lyriciss, Unrestricted Free Agents which is mixed and hosted by myself and DJ SlowBoogie. Solo-wise I’m working on Got The Drawers 4 and I’m Just Screwing Around II both Chop & screw records and me and the homie Skeptik has a mixtape on the way. I’m also working with CTE artist Boo Rossini with a mixtape due sometime in April is what I’m shooting for.

Tae:

Interview with Raw Tunez

Tae:
For those not familiar with Raw Tunez, tell us a little about yourself.

Raw Tunez:
I was born in New Orleans and moved to Houston after Katrina, that bitch. I've been making music since 2005 and I'm still evolving.

Tae:
What makes you standout from other producers?

Raw Tunez:
I really don't know, I've pretty much been trained by alot of different producers. I just use what I was taught and try to make my own sound.

Tae:
Where did you get your name and what made it stick?

Raw Tunez:
I used to be known as Big Dick Beatz but no one was feeling that. (Laughs)



Tae:
How would you describe your music?

Raw Tunez:
Fun. I use unusual sounds some times. I once sampled my lil cousin crying after he got his ass beat, added an effect to it and now its my trademark sound.

Tae:
Who would you say influenced you the most musically?

Raw Tunez:
I would say Mannie Fresh, his beats always stood out from the rest and gave the South a new sound.

Tae:
What upcoming projects are you working on?

Raw Tunez:
I'm producing the Get Money Boyz album "New Houston" and working on my own mixtape "Going Green". I have a lot of new music coming in 2010. Also, I work with a lot of local artist from New Orleans and Houston.

Tae:
