[Interview] Raekwon and JD Era about to make History

Chedo — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 20:19:36 +0000

When I was preparing for my interview with JD Era and Raekwon, I felt something special is really about to happen with these two teams, (Ice H20 and BMMG). Raekwon has planted the flag in Canada when he set up his Ice H20 office downtown. JD Era being the first signee, you better believe success is the outcome.

You have a very hungry JD Era who has been consistently progressing in his career; the mixtapes, singles, TV appearances on The Score and CBC, you can tell this is only the beginning. So when it was time to do this interview with JD Era and Raekwon, I wanted it to be very clear to the viewers that this is truly history in the making. Not only for JD Era but for Canadian Hip-Hop. Watch this interview and see what happens in the next few years. The Come Up Show proudly presents our interview with JD Era and Raekwon the Chef.

When I’m at the gym I Luv watching the outta shape shorties. I think it’s because the look of determination that envelops their essence is so admirable. Richie Sosa

Imagine being just down the parking lot from the Snoop Dogg concert and you with 10-15 artists from Toronto about to do an interview. Richie Sosa completely ripped the stage opening for Snoop Dogg, most of the London audience most likely didn’t know his music but his presence and personality made him very easy to relate. Especially his vulgar style of telling jokes. I can tell people were asking who is this guy? He’s funny and he can rap. One of the reasons I was proud to interview Richie Sosa, I asked him what people should expect when they follow him on twitter, Sosa shows respect for Drake and talks about Outta Shape shorties. Make sure to also check out our full interview with Sese, Jesse and J Probs and the other homies in this interview.

[Interview] Game talks about Heavy D, Kendrick Lamar, Toronto

First I have to say I’m thankful I got the chance to interview Game because I was only granted a media pass for photography and video for his concert at the St.Andrews Hall in Detroit.

I hustled my way backstage and convinced a member of Game team to do an interview. Shout out to whoever his videographer was because he pulled off this interview for me. Being a Game fan for a long time, I was excited to get the chance to interview him. Especially since he couldn’t cross the border last year so we drove all the way to Detroit to be able to cover his show. I had around 5-7 questions prepared and I’m not sure if I caught the Game in a bad mood, or maybe he just doesn’t like interviews but I felt like I got stiffed a little bit. I maintained my composure and kept going with my questions, now when I watch this interview I laugh hard especially at 1:38 in the interview. Check the interview for sure as I try to ask Game about Heavy D, Kendrick Lamar, Toronto and what music means to him.

[Interview] Sonreal talks about honesty, progress, and Vancouver on The Come Up Show

That’s nothing more I love than doing interviews with artists who are constantly grinding, putting themselves out there, progressing and stand for something real. It’s easy for me and other interviewers to want to cover musicians who have blown up but I find it more meaningful when I’m interviewing an artist on their journey to success.

That’s why I’m excited to present our interview with Vancouver based Hip-Hop artist Sonreal. In the past couple of years he has released countless singles, freestyles, music videos and mixtapes like Where’s Waldo and The Lighyear which you can cop at Sonreal’s website. I caught up with Sonreal in Toronto and he talked to me about his progress, the honesty in his music and why we won’t be moving from Vancouver to Toronto any time soon.
