FROM H-TOWN TO J-VILLE NEXT STOP STARDOM.
THIS MONTH IN THE INDY ARTIST SPOTLIGHT, IS AN ARTIST THAT GOES BY THE NAME H-TOWN. WHEN I FIRST HEARD THIS CAT I WAS LIKE OK ANOTHER ARTIST TRYING TO GET HIS FOOT IN THE DOOR, BUT AFTER I GOT TO KNOW THIS CAT AND ACTUALLY SEE THE EFFORT AND WORK THAT HE SPENDS ON HIS CRAFT I COULD HELP BUT SAY "THIS DUDE STARVING". WITH A RELENTLESS DRIVE AND A NEVER ENDING LOVE FOR MUSIC H-TOWN IS MAKING A LOT OF NOISE IN UNDERGROUND REALM OF HIP-HOP, WITH A SUPPORTING CAST OF VARIOUS BUSINESS MINDED AND INDUSTRY VETS LIKE ROB SWINGER AND DJ DR. DOOM IN JACKSONVILLE FL. H-TOWN NEXT STOP IS STARDOM. WE HAD A MOMENT TO SIT DOWN AND TALK ABOUT HIS NEW PROJECTS AND WHAT IT WAS THAT LEAD TO HIS LAST PROJECTS SUCCESS "NO REAR VIEWS" HERE IS THE TRANSCRIPT FROM THAT CONVERSATION.
How’s it going man?
-WHATS DA DEAL MAN..JUST COOLIN
Now tell the True Hip-Hop fans something about yourself.
-EVERYBODY SEE THE NAME "YUNG HOUSTON" AND OBVIOUSLY I'M FROM HOUSTON, AND THEY ASSUME THAT I'M A TYPICAL TEXAS RAPPER...BUT I'M NOT...I SAY THIS BOLDLY..." I AM PROBABLY ONE OF THE MOST LYRICAL RAPPERS TO EVER COME OUTTA TEXAS BUT I KEEP MY TEXAS SWAG..AND I REPRESENT WHERE I'M FROM ALL DAY EVERY DAY...TEXAS
Yea, so let’s get into this album. Why is it called No Rear views?
-I TITLED THE MIX TAPE "NO REAR VIEWS" BECAUSE I WANTED EVERYBODY TO KNOW, THOSE WHO DIDN'T BELIEVE IN ME, OR BELIEVE IN MY DREAM, THAT I'M REALLY CLOSE TO MAKING ALL WHO DIDN'T BELIEVE...BELIEVERS...SO AT THIS POINT...I'M NOT LOOKING BACK..."KEEP LOOKING IN THE REAR VIEW..U MIGHT MISS A EXIT"...THAT'S MY MOTTO...THAT'S WHAT I LIVE BY...THEY DIDN'T BELIEVE IN ME WHEN I HAD MY DREAM...NOW THAT THE DREAM IS BECOMING A REALITY, THE PEOPLE OF THE PAST WANT TO BE APART OF THE FUTURE...SMH..I DON'T FUNCTION LIKE THAT...."NO REAR VIEWS"....LOL
Now I heard the mix tape it’s hosted by Don Cannon and some features with Mims and Princess, What’s up with that?
-SHOUT OUT TO CANNON , PRINCESS, MIMS....UH...I WANTED TO SHOW THE WORLD THAT A UNSIGNED ARTIST LIKE MYSELF COULD MAKE NOISE WITH THE BEST OF THEM...SO I WENT OUT AND GOT ONE OF THE HARDEST DJS IN THE GAME TO HOST MY MIX TAPE...AND I HAD A COUPLE FEATURES DUCKED OFF IN THE COMPUTER..SO I WANTED MY FANS TO KNOW THAT I WAS WORKING WITH WELL KNOWN INDUSTRY ARTISTS...
How did the whole Cannon hosting the mix tape come about?
THE CANNON MIX TAPE WAS A BLESSING AFTER YOUNG JEEZYS "TRAP OR DIE" AND LIL WAYNE'S "DEDICATION 2" I ALWAYS WANTED TO DO A MIX TAPE WITH CANNON I HAD A BIG HOMIE WHO IS WELL CONNECTED SHOUT OUT TO BIG JAY FOR MAKING IT HAPPEN.
What was it that made you want to do a song with Mims?
MIMS IS A REAL DUDE.I GET DOWN WITH THAT DUDE, HE WAS FEELING MY MUSIC. HE CAME THROUGH JAX A TIME OR 2, WE LINKED UP AND KNOCKED OUT THE SONG "9 NICKELS". AND I GOT ANOTHER TRACK WITH HIM I'M GOING TO PUT THAT ONE OUT ON THE NEXT MIX TAPE I DROP.
Now talk about the track with my girl Princess?
-THE TRACK WITH PRINCESS IS DOPE....ITS CALLED "B.A.D.D" SHE DON'T KNOW IT YET BUT I MADE THAT SONG FOR HER LOL CUZ SHE IS A BAD CHICK LOL WASSUP PRINCESS. LOL
So what’s next? You have to follow-up this up with something hard so tell the world what’s next?
-IT AIN'T NO SECRET THAT BY THE BEGINNING OF THIS YEAR I WILL HAVE A MAJOR LABEL CO-SIGNING WHAT I DO..SO I'M DROPPING A ALBUM ON ITUNES...TITLED "BETTER THAN GOOD"...ALL ORIGINAL TRACKS...I GOT FEATURES ON THERE FROM A FEW MAJOR ARTIST...CANT REALLY SPEAK ON IT TO HEAVY BECAUSE ITS NOT COMPLETED YET...BUT BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR THE ALBUM MID OCT..
OK, so no let downs or fall backs right?
NO LET DOWNS OR FALL BACKS ON MY END...I'M ALL IN BIG HOMIE..
So I’m expecting DJ Drama, Nicki Minaj and Jeezy on this one?
NO NIKKI...LOL..OR JEEZY...BUT I WAS FEATURED ON A DJ DRAMA MIX TAPE TITLED "THANKSGIVING IN JULY"....I HAD LIKE 3 SONGS ON THAT MIX TAPE...
When can we expect the new album or are you going to do another mix tape then the album?
-MID OCT "BETTER THAN GOOD" BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR IT.
Man it’s been a pleasure talking to you my dude I still rock the mix tape in the office daily, I’m still hearing new material from you so I know you grinding, and I can’t wait for the new project to drop.
-I APPRECIATE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE WITH THE WORLD WHAT I'M DOING AND LETTING THEM KNOW WHO "YUNG HOUSTON" IS...MUCH LOVE BIG HOMIE
