Mario Interview
Filed under: Industry Heavyweights, R&B, Interviews
It’s been said that we’re in the midst of a musical Renaissance—whether you agree or disagree, it’s hard to deny that many of the industry’s foremost movers and shakers fit the ‘Renaissance man’ (or woman) archetype to a tee. With a résumé that includes acting, modeling, songwriting, and dance (to name a few), Mario is a shining example of this ideal, but the many music-lovers who …

Ginuwine Interview
Filed under: Industry Heavyweights, R&B, Interviews
Though every R&B artist enters the game striving to make timeless music, there’s something to be said for talent that’s time-tested. Since he hit the scene as a swingin’ Bachelor back in ‘96, Ginuwine has proven himself as one of the genre’s greats with a string of classic releases, and established a devoted fanbase always hungry for more of his uniquely seductive vocal stylings. Having emerged …

Method Man & Redman Interview
Filed under: Industry Heavyweights, Interviews
Hip-hop’s given rise to countless iconic duos, but few can match the popularity and renown of Method Man & Redman. Though Meth and Red both rose to fame as members of rap supergroups (the Wu-Tang Clan and Def Squad, respectively), it was their work together on television, films, and, most importantly, their acclaimed 1999 LP Blackout!, that made them household names, not to mention two of …

Ciara Interview
Filed under: Industry Heavyweights, Pop, R&B, Interviews
With a set of pipes more powerful than a locomotive, able to leap to the top of the Billboard charts in a single bound, it’s Super C! Ciara‘s third studio album may not have arrived on store shelves with “speeding bullet” swiftness, but, considering how difficult it is to find a functioning phone booth these days, the delays are understandable—now, the wait is finally over, and, …

DJ Drama Interview
Filed under: DJs, Industry Heavyweights, Interviews
Where mainstream listeners are concerned, mixtape DJs aren’t the best-known players in the game, but if there’s one man among them who needs no introduction it’s Aphilliates Music Group cofounder DJ Drama. That’s due in part to his tendency to live up to his name, attracting controversy like iron filings to a magnet, but moreso because he’s one of the best in his class—a major factor …

Twista Interview
Filed under: Industry Heavyweights, Interviews
Wikipedia describes a Category F5 tornado as a natural disaster of epic proportions, sure to inflict “total damage” on the area of impact, and goes on to state that “incredible phenomena will occur.” That kind of lyrical destruction is exactly what fans have come to expect from Twista, a Chi-town legend and one-time “fastest rapper alive” known to tear through tracks like a Tasmanian devil on …

Krayzie Bone Interview
Filed under: Industry Heavyweights, Street Veterans, Interviews
Among industry veterans, there are always a lucky few who have achieved such success that they could simply choose to hang up the mic and live out the rest of their days in comfort, secure that their contributions to their genre will never be forgotten. Though many in hip-hop have chosen to take this path, one of the hallmarks of a truly driven artist is the …

Bun B Interview
Filed under: Industry Heavyweights, Street Veterans, Interviews
It’s been a little over a year and three months since December 4, 2007, the day when hip-hop lovers worldwide (including the DJBooth.net community) were shocked by the untimely death of Pimp C, the emcee/producer who formed one-half of legendary Southern rap duo UGK. Shortly after, surviving member Bun B announced his intention to cap off the UGK legacy with one last release under that moniker. …

Slim Thug Interview
Filed under: Industry Heavyweights, Interviews
A few short years ago, Houston, Texas’ thriving underground hip-hop scene exploded into the mainstream, turning quite a few rappers who, to that point, had achieved only regional recognition into celebrities seemingly overnight. One of the subgenre’s most notable success stories is that of Slim Thug, whose first brush with national renown came as a result of his appearance on Mike Jones single Still Tippin’. The …

MIMS Interview
Filed under: Industry Heavyweights, Interviews
It’s a universal fact of human nature that one’s own conscience is usually one’s harshest judge, and Platinum-certified recording artists are no exception to this rule. After scoring one of ‘07’s biggest hits with Music Is My Savior lead single “This Is Why I’m Hot,” and following that record up with the Booth-acclaimed “Like This,” you’d think East Coast emcee MIMS would have no trouble sleeping …
