Tell us a few thinsg about VERMILION!. What is the story behind it?

VERMILION! Doesn’t necessarily follow a linear story but what it lacks in absolute story telling it makes up for in sonic experience. With VERMILION! I tried my hardest to make sure every song conveyed a feeling that was unique so that every listener felt a euphoric experience while listening.

Where did you draw inspiration from?

The album itself was inspired by early 2000’s punk grunge and gangsta rap, both of these styles embodied how Y2K felt and I wanted listeners to feel that while playing the album.

What first got you into music?

Music has always been a huge factor in my life, my grandfather played in a band back in Puerto Rico and my father always loved freestyling. Add that plus my curious nature and it was bond for me to start creating. Always Tyler, The Creator was a huge factor & inspiration behind me going for it, his “I don’t care” demeanor really inspired me to let loose & go for it.

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

I think the beautiful thing about underground music in this day and age is that there is no one true sound, yes there are a lot of people trying to mimic others but ultimately that general sound is so unique. Me personally I take pride in being unique so I feel right at home.

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

Being independent is extremely rough, I spend hours on end perfecting my craft and trying different ways to get myself heard. It’s a tough battle that takes a lot out of me but my passion never days and I keep going.

What advice would you give to your younger self?

Just let go. I was really reserved growing up and doubted myself a lot but now looking back I realized the only thing holding me back from pursing what I love was my fear of what other people thought of me. That never mattered and it still doesn’t so I’d definitely encourage him to start early and shoot for the stars.

What is the most trouble you’ve ever gotten into?

I’ve always been a good kid haha but I guess back in school I was a talkative person and that might’ve got me sent to the dean like 1 or 2 times, nothing crazy though. I’m an angel 🙂

Thank you!

Young God Blow – Energy (Prod. By R.L Beats & Midden) Interview

Describe your sound in 3 words

Three words I would use to describe my sound would be “Energetic, Refreshing & Unique”

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

Honestly I am always writing new music and my team of producers are always sending me new beats. I vibe with all of them but whichever gives me the biggest stroke of inspiration is usually the one I focus on.

For which lyric you are most proud of?

I love almost every single bar I spit in the song but the one I feel embodies the song as a whole is in the intro when I say “never been a fraud, energy is in my heart”. Just letting it be known that the energy I bring is genuine and no one can take that from me.

Favourite rapper, lyricist and producer?

My favorite musical artist in all aspects is Tyler, The Creator. He really changes the way music is heard and feels with every new piece of work and I love that, its definitely a driving force behind my own goals as a musician.

What does hip hop symbolize in your opinion?

I feel like hiphop is the purest form of expression in music. The way people can move crowds with their words and inspire generations is such a powerful thing, and all that comes from the emotional aspect that music brings. And since its ever changing, its going to be a timeless form of expression.

What was the best film you have watched during the quarantine?

Honestly all I watch is anime so it definitely gave me time to catch up on my favorite shows haha.

What is the most useless talent you have?

I cant really say but I guess a small talent I have that i’m proud of is the fact I have really good directional awareness/memory. I only need to visit a place once and Id remember exactly how to find my way, and i’m really good with maps.

Thank you!
