Normalz Interview (South Australian Producer)

Hey all, got an interstate on for you all this time (Normalz has made a bit of noise to me so I figured you guys should hear him to). He is a beat maker/producer from South Australia and is coming out with some really hot beats lately.

 

Normalz Interview

How long have you been making music for?
I have been making beats for 13 years. The first 4 years I was not very serious about it. It was just 1 program (Acid) I would muck around with between beatboxing and working.

Who have you worked with in the Perth Hip Hop scene?
I have done Mastering for Dismay, A collab beat with Seige-A and thats all i can think of from out that way.

Who are your favourite artists from our way?
Definately Schroomz his beats are dope. Too many Mcs and groups to really mention. I am always checking everyones music. I don't often listen to a single group or artist for very long at one time so constantly mixing up what i am listening to.

What is the Hip Hop scene like out in South Australia?
The scene here is good, lots of people putting the work in so thats good to see. I think we have so many dope producers dropping fire in S.A Lots of known and unknown people with dope beats.
My scene is always good because I just surround myself with music and like minded people who live for the music. Like any scene we have things happen for good and bad, hate and love, wack and dope, some sick cunts and some fuckwits.

Who are should we check out from out your way?
Check the people I roll with I'm a big fan of my mates Producing it all up it grows on me inevitably. Clockwork Engine fam; Ansestors of the underground, Forcefed, RwK, Swincorp, Cranx1, Mickee Juce.
There is alot of different styles of hiphop in Adelaide it's pretty diverse with its sound. Prime, Purpose, Mannaz, Trips, Delta, Funkoars, Hilltops and everyone else. There is dope hiphop here for all different tastes.

What do you use to make beats?
Adobe Audition, Flstudio, Reaper, Waves 7 bundle, Korg Padkontrol, About 700 billion plug-ins/VST instruments and i will sometimes get out the Shure7b mic to record some Instruments when i can.

What is your favourite software?
I love Flstudio. People have had a problem with it but i think that's fading away. Since around 4 versions ago Image-Line has made FL a powerhouse capable of doing any task I can think of. It used to feel limited, too structured and easy. People felt it made beats that sounded like they had been made with a kids toy pretty much. Once you start using the Fx rack, Not quantising, Pads and keys for triggers then you really have all you need. They now revolve it around Wav file looking channels you can slice up and move etc... in a more Cubase / Protools feeling way.

What is your opinion on sampling?
I love a fat dirty vinyl sample or real instruments anyday of the week. I am not a producer that agrees with vinyl and nothing else like some do. I don't want to limit myself and the technology is there to embrace. I do avoid sampling a youtube video or mp3s of any sort if i can help it. They are really only worthy for a quick vocal sample you might be looking for or something. They are too degraded and have a pretty thin sound when compared to other sources. I like to record from Movies alot and adding things that are around me like maybe my kids toy that makes cool noises or some sounds from a computer game i have been playing lately. Doing things like that stops it getting too boring or repetitive in my opinion and its heaps of fun.

What makes a quality beat to you?
I like a full sound with good bass and drums. Snares have to not hurt my ears at loud volumes.
Grimey dark shit, boom bap or ambient weird underground is all dope to me. There is some real bad stuff out there with bad mastering but i still think some of that is dope too just because the sample chops are so crazy or even something as simple as a dope snare will make me feel a beat. I like different stuff depending on my mood. There's not much i don't like. I am not a big fan of the gangsta sounding synths with a clap for the snare drum styles.

Who or what are your influences to make music?
I just enjoy it so much i can't get it out of my head. If i am not making a beat I am beatboxing it or planning something about music in my thoughts. My influences would be my mates, El-p, RJD2, J-Dilla, Al'Tarba, Premo, Shadow, Qbert, Cunninlynguist, Ant, Dubstep, the list would go forever.

Where do you see Australian Hip Hop in 5 years?
In my basement.

Mr Grevis Interview

Hey all, check out this interview I have with Mr Grevis. For those who haven't heard of him he is an upcoming Perth MC that has come out with some impressive tracks so far. He is working on a FREE release for you all soon titled 'The Sampler'.

Mr Grevis Interview

So where do you get the name Mr Grevis from?
Funny u should ask... I'm in the works of making a 2 minute youtube vid explaining this! haha its not a name! its an expression i made up, the video will explain it better

You are working on an album, what is it called?
I'm working on 2 albums one of which is fully recorded and in the cuts/mixing/mastering stage now i decided to release a 10 track free album first then a full length later.

When can we expect to hear it?
The short album hopefully by april but defiantly may 25th at the very latest. The second album i already have 6 tracks written for and 3 new beats so hopefully december for that one... i have saved my good tracks for that album so hopefully people like the first album cos then they should defiantly dig the second one!

Who is involved in production for the album?
The short album, dazastah, rob shaker and paulie p. Similar for the second album but i have old beats from trials that I've written too and 3 brand new trials beats that I've half written tracks too! There probably 5 of my favourite songs I've done, and i don't say that all that often about my own music cos I'm mega self critical!

Who are you main influences when it comes to Hip Hop?
I would have to say naughty by nature cos its the first tape i ever bought and i knew something changed when i bought that tape! Still love that album! Fucken love guilty simpson he sounds so basic cos his flow just rolls but he is really intricate at the same time spits multis and u hardly notice cos he just rolls on the beat. Brother ali, eminem. As far as ozzy hip hop goes hilltops, drapht, horrowshow funk oars vents downside and i reckon pez is a fucken sick emcee too.... Not really a massive fan of staunch hip hop about shanking ppl etc, i been in alot of strife with the law over my life but i don't wanna put out a negative image and try come across like i think I'm a tough guy! I like to spit about life, relevant issues and send a positive message and make music that i myself would actually wanna hear!

What do you think of the scene in Perth?
Perth scene is fucken sick, mostly not alot of beef and everyone helps each other out etc i think we got a really good community of people that all stick together and unite in times of crisis and need.

Who are some locals we should watch out for?
I think bitter has had that underground crown locked down for quite some time now... very hardworking emcee! it shows in his tunes. My favourite emcee would be complete, dude is crazy talented if only he would just stop rapping about raping small children haha. Soma is fucken dope its like having a sick UK rapper right here in perth! Dsc boys go hard too.... There is a few young emcees and crews who I'm not massively feeling but out of the young guns i would have to say i really like what I'm hearing from Dista theres still a bit of room for improvement but that said i already dig his music and i like the direction he is going with it!

Do you have any shows coming up?
Yes i do... its bitter b's mix tape launch/birthday party at rose mount on may 25th! Headlined by seth sentry. Me and porsah laine are on the support! I will be giving away free copy of my album on the night to anyone who wants one!
Thanks for ur time and props on what u guys are doing on this page! Grevis

Adam Crook Interview

Hey all, check out this quick interview I got to do with Adam Crook. He recently released his debut album 'One Of A Kind'. I seriously recommend checking it out.

Adam Crook Interview

How long have you been working on your debut release 'One Of A Kind'? 

Way too long!! I started putting the album together with the right idea in mind about 18 months ago.. But I first recorded way way back in '97. I didn't really get serious till about 'o3 when I met Shaker through 2 best mates, ones on the album, AMC..

What was the concept behind the album?

Something for everyone is what I aimed for. A real range of topics, themes n ideas, a journey of sorts.. Some of the tracks are five or so years old, but myself, Shaker n my boy Jed, who took charge of the track list order, agreed they still fit. Most are newish... Haha!!
It was pain staking picking the tracks. Cuttin down from forty or so songs, to an albums worth. But I hope everyone finds somethin on there they wana bump to..

Who was involved in the production on the album? 

Rob Shaker, Rob Shaker & Rob Shaker.. Production on most of it, all the recording mixing mastering as well.. AMC gota a beat on there aswell

What drew you to Hip Hop?

Basketball.. Seriously, I played ball from four or five and all the NBA VHS tapes I'd get had this music I really liked n would bounce around to.. My mum ran a video store that also had CD's, so I'd find out the artist, ask mum to order the CD, then take it home n burn my favourite tracks to cassette!! Old school.. Ha. But ball n hip hop went hand in hand from then n will do so forever..

Who are some of your favourite Hip Hop artists? 

Always a tough question, my mates n I used to sit around, drink, play eats and debate top five favourites.. Constantly!!! But a couple of my all time would be Big Pun, Jay, Wu, , Em, Pac, Biggie, Pharoah, R A The Rugged Man, The Roots, Outkast. Also gota love home grown Draphto, Rae, Downsyde, Hill Tops, BnE.. Dude, the list goes on and on..

What do you think about the Perth Hip Hop scene?

It's in a bigger and better place than ever now, it's awesome. I disappeared for a few years cause too many dudes had beef with eachother, always started ish, cats bombed all the venues to a point there was no where to play.. And I just wanted to play and listen to music man!!
Now venues are open to it and the scene has some what cleaned up..
There's so many cats givin their all now a days, it makes people step up their game. It's dope. There are a few people still sold on the tough guy image, when it's not needed, but it is what it is. I'm the vegetarian emcee... NO BEEF!!! haha.. But all in all there's a shit load of talent in this small city, I'm proud to be a part if it..

Who are some locals that you think we should look out for? 

Alot a dudes doin great things with their tunes.. But some I gota say, Phat Flo, Rae - Speek Easy, Bitter Belief (as if ya didn't know), AMC, Defyre, Creed Birch, Soma, LSD n his lovely lady, Paulie P, Slackjaw.. Once again man, the list goes on..
Thumbs up to all doin their thing, always remember, it takes balls to stand our side of the mic, it's easy for others to talk this n that.. Just do you and let the rest fall by the wayside..

Where is the album available?

You can download the digital copy from my bandcamp site for $10 bucks right now!!
In a couple weeks the hardcopies will be available on my or Shakers Big Cartel sites, plus directly from me for $15.

Online Digital - http://adamcrookmusic.bandcamp.com
Hard Copy - http://adamcrookmusic.bigcartel.com

Do you have any shows coming up?

Performing at The Easter Launch with a bunch of local lads putting it down for Perth.. Gona be a dope event, last years was sick and I can only assume the Launch boys are gona make it bigger and better this time.. Can't wait!!

Trooth - Reborn [REVIEW]

 Trooth - Reborn review by Styla

Finally, after 9 to 12 months of hard work, hours of producing, recording, studio time, the dedication and support of many, Ryan Samuels, better known as MCee TROOTH in Perth’s Hip Hop community, blessed us with his new album 'REBORN', officially released February 15 2012.

With beats and production from Dean 'Loftee Beats' Lofts, from Perth Underground, as well as Mat Rafle, known for his love of sampling, REBORN is a well received addition to Australian Hip Hop. Before I start to break down certain elements to the album, I feel like giving my overall feeling for REBORN, from a fan’s/listener’s point of view first. Like any album I buy, there are songs which grab me immediately. It may be a certain beat that gets my attention right away, or 4 bars from the first verse of a track, or a hook, or it could be just one sound or harmony that strums the chord within your soul and you don’t know why, but you love it. REBORN is no different. Yes, there are some tracks I find more enjoyable than others, however there isn’t one track I don’t like. The high points to REBORN is definitely TROOTH’s raw and witty lyrics, from silly to serious, to confronting and heartbreaking, as well as his consistent delivery and execution, multi’s, his punch lines, wordplay and content. So, my overall feeling? Well lets just say I repeated many songs over and over again, some made me laugh, some made me angry or hyped up, some I couldn’t help but to sing along. Hell, I even blasted it in my car at the lights with my shitty stock standard stereo system. To me, when and artists can get your feelings to follow along with them, as well as keep your attention, that’s a job well done, and something that all artists who are serious about what they do should try to achieve. So……let’s do it!

When I first listened to the album in whole, letting each track play in the order presented, I immediately thought, “RAW”, Trooth is definitely as raw as they come, with a bachelor degree in Rawness. Each track feels like Trooth is dispersing his lyrics right there next to you, without any magical fancy electronic voice tuning, no auto-tune bullshit, technical voice alterations, just Trooth, spittin raw. I personally think it’s important to mention this because I think it says a lot about Trooth as an artist and as a person. REBORN provides the listener with a path to some dark places, as well as some insight into the direction Trooth is moving in, adamant that he not be deterred in any way.

This leads to the first track off of REBORN, “Love of Hip Hop,” and the title pretty much explains itself, as Trooth explains to us that his love for Hip Hop is his muse, his drive in life, he names some artists he’s been inspired by, and how music feeds his hunger to be a positive addition to the Hip Hop Culture everywhere. The hook cuts in with a fitting sample and definitely contributes to the content of the song. It’s a great intro to the ride Trooth is about to take you on, and importantly, I think the opening track is important on any album from any artists from any gender, and here Trooth reminds the listener that this album is all because of his love for Hip Hop, however the lyrics also indicate his respect on how Hip Hop has been his saviour through life. Props.

Track 2 comes in with a Latino switch up type of vibe, I’m shit with instruments, but know this, it definitely sounds latinoish… Anyways, the track is called “Knocked Out” , where Trooth comes out just as consistent in delivery and execution as the first, giving a taste of wordplay, multi’s – punches and attitude, with lines like “We’ll tea bag an aneroxic / while she’s spittin, bringing a new meaning to skinny dippin…” you can’t help but smile, as it’s full of lines just like this. Basically, you will get knocked the fuck out if you challenge Trooth in this game of lyrical warfare…

So one of my favourite tracks kicks in, “Addict” , this track cracks me up every time I listen to it, however the more I hear the everything Trooth is sayin, it leads me to believe that he’s giving us an insight into a dark world that once was, but is no more, and is able to put a comical twist on something that is very real today in regards to addiction. Whether insight to Trooth himself, or addicts in general, I myself can relate to many of things stated within this track, and it allows the listener to be able to understand yet smile regardless. Filled with outrageous lines like “You see – if there’s wine in the house / there’s a looker like Amy Winehouse on the couch / she’s slouched / Drool from the mouth / the fool hasn’t figured out that she’s got stool on her snout / I can’t talk – the night before / I drank ales like a whale til I couldn’t walk / I went pale my senses set sail…..” and on and on…. The hook is catchy, and after listening to it you will eventually find yourself singing along, in front of you boss, and wonder why the next day you’ve been scheduled in for a “random” piss test…..

“Going Out Like That” opens up with another latinoish sounding track, with a hook influenced and even somewhat interpreted in a similar style as B-Real from Cyprus Hill. Probably one of my least favourite songs on the track, however not horrible to listen to, filled with plenty of clever lines and wordplay, I feel at times some nonsense was thrown in just to fill gaps or rhyme filler, especially after listening to the rest of the album and seeing the creativity and dedication put into other tracks. Overall enjoyable, yet not grasping as others. However as far as the raw delivery, consistent execution, sound quality and overall production there’s no complaints.

“Tender Lovin” – Even at this moment as I’m typing this review, listening to this track – I want to hit repeat just for the opening of this song….oops, did it already… opening with some banging strings and what sounds like harmonised vocals faint but there, and Trooth perfectly coming to the front with “It’s like I gotta pressure / pressure to be fresher / fresher to impress ya to have the highest measure…” This track has so much to say in every verse it would be impossible for me to not write a War and Peace paper on it. Let’s say this – Tender Lovin is needed for everyone, and everyone needs it, they need it in their family, their pressures, their stresses, their forms of expression, their times of loneliness, times of helplessness, times of watchin your homies getting screwed but you can’t do shit about it, the drug addict, in your belief system – or better yet FROM your belief system. Basically, anyone and everyone is able to say “My soul my life aint right but all it needs is ‘Tender Lovin’…” at one point in their life. Dope track, and Mat Rafle provides one hell of a platform for Trooth spill his guts in the most clean and smooth way….DOPE. If you agree, be sure to peep the video too, directed by one of L.A.’s finest, James Wade.

“Bleeding” Trooth portrays a man strung along in a relationship that he eventually realized was poisoned with lies and betrayal. I mean, what else can I write, if you’ve been burnt, you know exactly the pain and anger flowing through his delivery. Loftee provides a sound that immediately sends me into early Slim Shady land, and I think even Trooth felt this as there’s a moment where he viciously spits bars that remind me of an angry early Eminem. Overall this is a dope topical rhyme….

“Mic Check” – Man, this track is just full of some great punches, metaphors, puns….I love the chorus especially, and the beat is great. Just peep this shit for yourself, it’s silly Trooth packin a right hook, and if you duck you’ll get a left handed uppercut….with lines like “Just in case I lose it / I’ll ram ya head my speakers so you pause and I’m forced to face the music…” and it goes on… a diss to wackness, wann be emcees who Trooth questions in his hook “Microphone check one – check two / is there anyone out there man? Microphone check one – check two / am I the only one who gives a damn?? / Microphone check one – check two / Ummm - Hello? Hellooo?”
HELLO?!

“Spit Like It This” – “Yeah – Everyone says yeah, I’mma say Nah….” – Another track full of lines packed with punches to another bangin Loftee Beat, basically backing up Mic Check with a challenge, a challenge to “Spit It Like This” – go ahead – do it….with nothing in ya pockets…Great combo with Loftee and Trooth…REPEAT

“Reborn” – Initially I didn’t think I’d like this track, as the beginning beat just didn’t appeal to me, because as soon as it started I thought of Elton John, and no offence, he’s a great artist, pianist, etc, but he creeps me the f*ck out…anyway, this song, sharing the same name as the album itself, is one of the tracks I’ve skipped the most. Now, not because it’s bad, because once I shook off the eerie feeling of Elton John, it kicks in with a tune that strikes an inner chord inside me and then followed up with a powerful story. I skip this song the most mainly due to the impact of it, as I can relate a lot to this song, and it’s one of those tracks that combine a sad tale with a message of hope. The only thing I can say about this track, is that production wise I think Trooth’s vocals felt as if they were behind the beat, in other words I felt Trooth was a bit muffled and his vocals were too much “in” the beat, instead of in front of it. I had to adjust my equalizer a bit on my system in order to get a good quality sound so I could hear what Trooth was saying without concentrating too hard on it.

“Sixteen Bars A Day” – Just what the doctor prescribes to maintain a lyrically healthy diet! Nuff said.

“Washed Hands” – Loftee Beats provides the soundtrack while Trooth provides the storyline for a tale of betrayal from that one person you called a homie until you find out they were scheming and deceiving you behind your back. Dope track….

“Rock You” – My second favourite track on the album. Look, everyone likes a song that brings that “anthem” feel, the track where you wanna bounce along and sing the hook too…This is that track for me on this album. The only thing I can pick out on this track is that I think the hook should of definitely been stronger, whether through mixing or getting more back up vocals cuz that’s the bit I shout along with, and in front of a crowd, the hook would definitely grab the attention of all viewers. I must add, even though this track is one of my favourite, a few of the beats from Loftee up to this point have a noticeable signature, a little high pitched dribble that sneaks in, and I think that it could be left out or even used in moderation, because I after I picked up on this I heard it every time it came out and it’s somewhat distracting.

“Power Of One” has a beat that is smooth as butter, and I honestly don’t know what it is about this track I like or don’t like, I mean, there’s just something about it that I love. There’s a couple of noticeable spots where I feel Trooth may have slipped a tad in his delivery, and initially I thought the hook was too lazy, like there wasn’t a lot of effort put into it, however I can’t NOT sing along with it, and the more I listen to it the more I think it fits, yet a part of me wants more. I’ll leave it that, because I’m unable to really express my thoughts with this one.

Last but not least, Trooth ends the journey with “Drug Related” – a story telling track that tells of what I feel is a tale of an abused boy, and possibly a true story or a story close to the truth, or the mind of the abused…The track itself is 3:20, with Trooth delivering a 3 minute verse of nonstop topical lyricism, however it’s not one I would bump, or listen to repeatedly, but one I payed attention to, because I needed to hear how it ended. And so do you!

Conclusion – Production wise, beat wise, etc…there are moments where I think Trooth is in the beat instead of on it, and I felt that at times where energy was needed for hooks or backing vocals, although present, needed to be stronger. The dribbling sound effect within some of Loftee’s beats can get a bit distracting, taking away a bit of impact to the song. As for Trooth and his presence vocally, I definitely feel his emotion, his desire, his motivation, compassion, and love, yet there lyrically there are times where I felt that filler lines were dropped for the sake of “filling a gap” – and moments of fumbling/pace control within his delivery, but this is just me grasping for straws, as I believe without a doubt this album is worth your money and your time. Trooth has no doubt the ability to comically please you, challenge you, and allow you to see inside his life, whether present, past or future, his love, his heart aches, his failings, his doubts, his compassion, his motivations and inspirations, while producers Loftee Beats and Mat Rafle at most times help to encourage his message by providing sounds, beats and rhythms to compliment REBORN.

It’s raw, it’s real, it’s TROOTH. GET IT HERE
