N8! – Destroy & Rebuild [Interview]

Describe your sound in 3 words

Raw, Poetic, Authentic

Tell us a few things about Destroy and Rebuild. What is the main idea behind it?

Destroy & Rebuild is based on the 8th number of Supreme Mathematics which is Build or Destroy. Build refers to actions or decision that lead to positive outcomes for self and/or community. Destroy speaks to the potential for destruction and negative consequences based on one’s actions or decisions. But real life is always so cut and dry and lines are often blurred. Sometimes you have to confront the negative energy that threatens your peace. Destroy and Rebuild, speaks to that moment of confrontation when you look the devil in the eyes and say Not today Satan. It’s the epiphany you have when you realized that in order for there to be harmony, you need to speak truth to power without fear of consequence.

Which is the most personal and honest lyric

For me, the most personal and honest lyric of Destroy and Rebuild Is “What the fuck what make him go so hard? I took a Blue Chew” lol

Favorite Rapper, Lyricist, and Producer

The Notorious BIG, Andre 3000 and The Deity Complex

What does Hip Hop symbolize in your opinion

To me Hip Hop is the voice for the voiceless. It speaks to the creativity and ingenuity of people who have nothing but manage to make it into something. It’s a culture built on the foundation of 5 elements but has grown to include so much more.

If you could change anything about the music industry, what would it be?

I would give artist more control and ownership of their careers/art as well as equity in record labels/DSPs built on their backs.

If I was arrested, what would it be for?

Murdering MCs or being Black in America

A song you are convinced was written about you

Killing Me Softly by the Fugees

Thank you!
