ISSUE NUMBER 24 POCKETZ

 

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH POCKETZ

Q. Where are you from? and introduce yourself.
My Name is Pocketz, I'm from Indianapolis, Indiana born April 12th 1989 and I'm a 
hip-hop addict!

Q. What first got you into music?
I first got into music when I was eight years old, I used to watch my cousins and their friends freestyle to instrumentals and record on the  karaoke machine. One day they was rapping having a cypher and I just jumped in freestyling and all my cousins was like woah lil cuz you rap!! Lol

Q. Who inspired you to make music?
My cousin Dj aka SixWays on Facebook, was one of my biggest inspirations in music. He literally taught me everything I know as far as being a great artist and teaching me to write music with substance and lyricism. Also another inspiration is my favorite rapper Jay-Z.

Q. How would you describe the music that you typically create?
I feel like I don't fit in just one specific category or genre of rap/hip-hop, I create music that's universal, I've been through a lot of challenges and obstacles in my life, some good and some bad that can relate to a lot of people around the world.


Q. What is your creative process like?
My creative process consist of alot of things, depending on my mood and the song. I typically like to be in a secluded area, with no distractions or around nature or water.

Q. If you could go open a show for any artist who would it be?
J. Cole, because I feel like we relate alot and share similar struggles.

Q. Tell us about your upcoming project.
I moved from my hometown to California to further pursue my career and dreams. Since I have been here in California and getting their raw vibes, yet mellow environment, I have grew even more as a artist and the experience influenced me to write a E.P. called "CALI DREAMING".

Q. What are your plans for the near future?
I plan on being internationally known within the next two years. Also I plan on 
running my own tv show and having my label, "New 
Improved Hiphop LLC" well established and firmly imprinted into the Hiphop 
society.


Q. If you could change anything about the industry, what would it be?
I would change the whole perspective of it and give it a little twist of my own and bring that true Hiphop back to the game.
