FM:So first off when did you first get involved with the whole rap scene, and how old are you currently?
Dubb:I first got involved in the rap scene at the age of 16 which was also the point I began writing, and I'm currently 23 so that's about 7 years.
FM:Tell my readers where you are originally from and what musical/environmental influences fuel your musical creativity?
Dubb: I was born and raised in South Central LA, my musical influences come from
people I listen to such as; PAC, Jadakiss, Eminem, and Nas. I dont really listen to new rappers basically all old school, everything I rap about is inspired by real life things that have effected me in my life.
FM:How would you describe the west coast music scene in general and what was life like growing up where you are from?
Dubb:The music scene is kinna shifting back to real music, and getting away from the gimmicks from other areas, and if you can't really rap you get pushed to the side, growing up in South Central I've been through things that would make you weaker or stronger. However I made the best out of every situation, sometimes we lived in motels or cars and didnt really have a home until my grandma passed, and left us the house. Basketball and music were my outlets to keep a postive focus in life.
FM:Do you plan on branching out into any other genres of music as far as collabs and with whom would you like to collab with, and are you interested in any other aspects of the entertainment industry?
: I like rock bands and r&b as well I dont just listen to rap because that limits your ability, as far as collabs I don't really go off names, but rather people whom I feel have talent. My interests are acting in other aspects of entertainment my videos that I have released use story lines in which acting is required. My goal is once I get deep into the game is to invest money back into my community.
FM:What do you feel separates you from other hip- hop artists?
Dubb: I have my own sound, I feel like a lot of guys are tryna sound like what's hot instead of actually being themselves and sticking to real hip-hop.
FM:Tell me about some of the projects you have out and where people can go to hear music from you?
Dubb: Face of California all original 13 tracks released in Jan, I have some freestyles called Saturday night cypher which I'm basically rapping off old beats alot of people cant rap off of old beats, and I feel like if you can rap off old beats you can really rap. Currently Im working on"Progression" which has major features on it. Featured links below
