Hip Hop Artist Interviews
Industry heavyweights and fast rising phenoms step inside the DJBooth for exclusive interviews with DJ Z
Ludacris Interview
Filed under: Industry Heavyweights, Interviews
In the hip hop game, much has been made of the top-notch emcee’s ability to paint word-pictures so vivid that they make listeners feel as if they are enjoying not just a pop song but a full-blown cinematic masterpiece. From Lil’ Weezy, who has claimed an ability to “spit movies like a VCR,” to Ice Cube, who parlayed rap stardom into a series of tremendous successes …

John Legend Interview
Filed under: Industry Heavyweights, R&B, Interviews
The words of hope and change that fueled Barack Obama‘s campaign for President and ultimately his victory in this month’s election have catalyzed a movement towards artistic growth and renewal in hip hop, and this newfound positivity has been in the foreground of much of the music being released as of late. In addition to the cavalcade of Obama-centric mixtapes and exclusive singles from a wide …

Q-Tip Interview
Filed under: Industry Heavyweights, Street Veterans, Interviews
At times, the hip hop industry can seem a lot like American politics – for each person out there making things happen, there are about a dozen who simply want to tell everyone else what to think, (and what they have to say is nearly never positive). Case in point: the former fad of describing the genre as “dead.” Fortunately, we have individuals like A Tribe …

Cassie Interview
Filed under: Industry Heavyweights, Pop, Interviews
It might be a stretch to call Cassie‘s rise to fame a fairy tale (Cinderella never worked as a model in New York City, after all), but her story does contain certain elements of the fantastic. The 19-year-old singer has come a long way since her stage debut as one of the seven dwarves in a fifth grade production of Snow White, and she couldn’t have …

Anthony Hamilton Interview
Filed under: Industry Heavyweights, R&B, Interviews
Those not fortunate enough to live in a locale where the sun shines year-round are probably beginning to feel the effects of the changing of the seasons right about now; shorter, cloudier days leave many feeling groggy and irritable, and these symptoms, if left untreated, can develop into the full-blown wintertime blahs by the time the holiday season rolls around. Have no fear, however: on December …

Musiq Soulchild Interview
Filed under: Industry Heavyweights, R&B, Interviews
Setting one’s sights higher and higher with each release is a must for any artist who wants to build a long career and leave an enduring legacy. Take Musiq Soulchild, for example: in under a decade, the Philadelphia native has gone from just wanting to sing to requesting that his audience Juslisen, before establishing himself as a bona fide Soulstar. Not content to rest on his …

Brandy Interview
Filed under: Industry Heavyweights, Pop, R&B, Interviews
Brandy has sold more than 25 million albums worldwide and as a result has taken home over 100 awards and honors. Yet the acclaimed singer and her pop hits have remarkably been absent from the charts for this entire half-decade. Now, more than four years since the release of her last project, “Aphrodisiac,” the 29-year-old is on the comeback trail with the impending release of her …

Juelz Santana Interview
Filed under: Industry Heavyweights, Interviews
When Juelz Santana titled his ‘05 sophomore album, “What The Game’s Been Missing,” he probably didn’t realize he would be foreshadowing the next three years of his career. Following his lengthy and unwanted semi-hiatus, which included no new albums or mixtapes and a limited number of guest appearances, the Harlem native is back in the fold with a new record deal, a slew of brand new …

Kerry “Krucial” Brothers Interview
Filed under: Industry Heavyweights, Producer, Interviews
There is a famous saying that goes, “Behind every great man, there is a great woman.” For the incomparable Ms. Alicia Keys, however, it’s the other way around; it is Grammy and ASCAP award winner Kerry “Krucial” Brothers who is responsible for co-writing and producing hit records on all three of Keys’ solo albums, including her latest gem, “No One.” Though he doesn’t rock a piano …

Joe Thomas Interview
Filed under: Industry Heavyweights, R&B, Interviews
In the United States, the term “Average Joe” refers to an “average person.” In the case of veteran R&B singer Joe Thomas, however, the word “average” simply doesn’t apply. Over the last fifteen years, the Georgia-born artist has released six major albums, two of which received multi-platinum certifications, and has toured all throughout the world as a direct result. After spending the last decade signed to …
