Recently We sat down with Chicago’s own Pavy, Gearing up for the release of his “Theory of Defiance” Project we wanted to pick his brain on a few things. We talk about his background in music as well as the feel of Chicago right now culturally and musically. Pavy will be releasing “Theory of Defiance” next week May 7th. Stay tuned!
- Greedmont – What exactly does “Theory of Defiance mean to you?
Pavy – Theory Of Defiance is basically just about knowing what your odds are and just not caring enough about failing to get up and at least try to achieve your dream. Sometimes defiance has a bad connotation to it, but honestly most great changes in humanity happened because somebody was defiant and challenged the establishment and ignored the odds. So that’s what it means to me forget the odds forget the naysayers and just go get “it”.
- G – What was it like growing up in Chicago, and what type of influence does it have on the music you create?
P – It was cool man you see everything like you see the good then you see the bad right down the street. It’s extremely diverse so whatever type of person you are I’m sure that scene is somewhere here for you. I don’t think it has a effect on my music though like I don’t really even express I’m from Chicago in my music, not that I don’t love my city or anything, I just didn’t want to be that artist that represents a city I want to represent a culture and a type of human being. Plus the Chicago artist that made it before me did that so I didn’t fellow in there foots I want to do my own thing. (more…)

Remember Money Making Mitch from Paid in Full? Based on the life of Rich Porter, Mitch was the Harlem kingpin that everyone loved. He had an ambitious survival mentality but balanced it with a charismatic personality. Despite his line of work, everyone gravitated towards Mitch. In New Atlanta, Mitch is Money Makin’ Nique, minus the drug trafficking. Originally born in Massachusetts, Nique is the rapper everyone is trying to work with in Atlanta. He’s a member of the Two9 collective. He embodies that ambitious survival mentality, but also has a charismatic personality. People genuinely gravitate towards Nique.
With the release of his most recent project, The Lion King EP, Nique shows he’s a skilled lyricist with hard hitting rhymes and a classic northern flow. He spits gritty rhymes over hard beats throughout the tape, composed entirely of Arabmuzik beats. Arab’s production style and Nique’s lyrical delivery are the perfect marriage – creating the perfect black hoodie rap.
Nique has a busy year ahead of him. With a steady buzz, Nique isn’t looking to slow down anytime soon. He’s working on a number of projects and performing different shows. He has a project with fellow Two9 artist, Key in the works, as well as a project with producer Childish Major. I met with Money Makin’ Nique at Fly Kix in Atlanta to talk about his recent project and all of the love he’s been receiving from it (more…)

The big homie, Project Pat sat down with the guys from Fader after his show in New York to talk about the two projects he has coming (Mista Don’t Play 2 & Cheese and Dope 2).
According to him, the secret of his youthful appearance is a very basic and oft-overlooked essential of tour life called self-restraint. This seems unlikely if not veritably un-possible when your brother and tourmate is king of the turn-up, Juicy J, but Pat has managed to stick around this long and make more great music while he’s done it. Sitting down with us after his recent NYC show, he gave us some insight into the two projects he has coming (one of which is the highly anticipated Mista Don’t Play 2), what he does in the rare instances that he gets back to Memphis and how his ultimate goal is just to please the people.

A house full of laughter harmonized with great music, the smell of paint mixed with the urban dictionary definition of loud, small dogs with big barks not to mention the countless goddesses entering and exiting. The walls bleed creativity whilst positive vibrations illuminate every room. There’s inspiration everywhere your eyes can see–pure artistic chaos. This is a home fit for an artist–this is the prestigious Greedmont Mansion, and the setting for my interview with Corey Davis and A.ware better known as Hip-Hop duo Mach Five.
They’ve been knighted by Complex Magazine as one of the more worthy acts in the city of Atlanta that your attention should be undividedly engrossed in. Mach Five’s latest album Art Rap has been posted all across the interweb and drawing new fans toward their biggest project yet. Our interview starts at the beginning–chapter one before the creation of Mach Five; on a high school bus in Atlanta where marijuana and Midwestern rap roots act as the bridge that brings the two visionaries together. By the end of the interview, I had 2 hours’ worth of classic stories, revelations, and insight. Condensing it into an article short enough for a generation plagued by ADD and accustomed to only reading 140 characters wasn’t an easy task, but believe that Corey and A.ware have a story worth telling, worth reading, and music worth turning all the way up.

What do you do on a 6-hour roadtrip from Charlotte, NC to Nashville, TN other than being bored out of your fucking mind? After chugging a couple $1 shooters and spending countless hours surfing through multiple playlists on Spotify, you can always play a game of “21 Questions” with one of your lesbian friends via text message. Well, that’s what I did… This is Emilia Ortiz, a 20-something New Yorker from Brooklyn, who likes to smoke a lot of pot and transform pretty girls into even prettier girls once they sit in her make-up chair.
