Off The Record with Producer / Engineer Chris Jocko of UpNorth Enterprise
IMM - Off The Record with Producer / Engineer Chris Jocko of UpNorth Enterprise On Meeting Al Papers, speaks on Ace Porters 'Down Fall' record and Syracuse Hip - Hop

Question 1: On meeting Al Papers and what type of relationship you've formed with this artist?
Answer : I meet Al Papers thru music him and I linked up about 1.5 - 2 yrs ago. From there we sat down and made a few tracks together that debut number 5 on various mixtapes and a movie soundtrack with 'Right Now' by Tommy Taxes Ft Al Papers in 'The People's Champ' a movie filmed here in the city of Syracuse where he also made his very first acting debut in a Shamroc Dancil Film. There is always good connection and great vibes when we work together. Initially, we both felt the same hunger in our music and began working together we're like family now he's the BIG BRO!
Question 2: Working on the 'Down Fall' with Ace Porter what was that experience like?

Question 3: What does the Syracuse Hip - Hop scene look like to you and do you think the artists from the 3won5 need to do put to the cuse on the map?
Answer : The rap scene in syracuse is based on alot of diversed independent artists striving for their voices to be heard in this region of Upstate New York or what many referr to as (CNY) Central New York. Many artists in Syracuse don't work togther often. Alot of isolation... from what I see. I strongly believe if we just came togther as whole more opportunities would come forth...Syracuse needs more musical managers to help us break out in a major way to help put our city on the map!
