Diamond Blacc – DEMONS [Interview]

Tell us a few things about DEMONS. What is the story behind it?

“DEMONS” is the song of my life. It is the summation of the adversity I had to overcome to live. I had to fight and overcome a lot of “DEMONS” to get where I am. I thank God I’m not where I used to be.

How do you get your inner demons out?

God! I was never able to conquer anything without my faith. I believe we all have had moments of adversity where we had to rely on hope or something greater than ourselves to make it through!

What first got you into music?

Honestly, it was during a period of my life when I was fighting my “DEMONS” that I found music ironically! Music pulled me out of dark and hopeless places and brought such light into my life. I’m so grateful!

Do you think there is a true underground hip hop sound today?

Absolutely! Sound is so vast and universal and reaches pretty much every point of the universe. I believe the same could be said for underground hip hop sound today.

What is the biggest challenge you have faced as an artist so far?

The biggest challenge I have faced as an artist so far is trust. In this industry and life in general, adversity is at every corner. Not everyone has good intentions. I’ve learned to TRUST when people show you who they are. Most importantly, I’ve learned to trust MYSELF.

Favorite music related film?

I recently watched “The Wiz” and its sheer magic!

What would you say is your biggest vice?

Vaping……vaping…….vaping :/

Thank you!

Diamond Blacc – OUT [Interview]

Describe your sound in 3 words

sound is eclectic, bold, and inspirational.

How many beats do you listen to before you end up using one? Tell us a few things about your creative process.

It doesn’t take me long to find a beat I love. I love exploring sounds and finding new producers. I prefer to acquire beats from lesser known names because talent is endless and vast. I can listen to five beats and immediately know which ones stick.

For which lyric you are most proud of?

I am most proud of the lyric from my song “OUT” “It’s a blessing that I’m here, I thank the Lord you know I shout, love yourself respect yourself you are a star so do not doubt.” The lyric is a tribute to my gratitude and my mission to inspire, empower and uplift others.

What does hip hop symbolize in your opinion?

In my opinion hip hop symbolizes expressionism. It is freedom. The freedom to own you who you are and to narrate your own story.

Favourite album of the past year?

Favourite album – Doja Cat “Planet HER” Doja’s uniqueness is unapralled and her creativity knows no limit. She is truly a chameleon and a powerhouse performer.

What is the most useless talent you have?

Most usueless talent – I can rember the most random and useless information. I couldnt give you directions to my house to save my life but I can remeber the lunch I took to school in second grade.

One last thing we should know about you?

I’d like you to know that your support means the world to me and is truly a light in my life which is refelcted in my music. Thank you!

Thank you!
