The EP is a story, a bad relationship, it’s starts off by being alone and I’ve accepted it, I meet someone stuffs happens and it ends up badly. That is the concept of the record. Haviah Mighty.

I will never forget the feelings I felt after our interview with Haviah Mighty. To quote a listener “I was supposed to be in my car for 5 minutes but I ended staying inside my car for 45 minutes, she blew my mind!” Haviah Mighty has always found an effective way to emit emotion through words and poetry, as a child Haviah Mighty began vocal training at the age of 4, she sang for seven years it was when she was 12 that Haviah began combining her love for music and her love for language. Inspired by 50 Cent’s Get Rich Or Die Tryin’ she released her debut mixtape No Studio in 2010, #Eighteen in 2011, and her latest tape Bars, Girls, & Bars in 2012, which you can all download on her website. Performing her brand new records for the first time ever on radio we are proud to present Haviah Mighty on The Come Up Show. Check it out and let me know what you think of her!

The last time we interviewed Mac Miller was almost exactly two years ago, it was his first time ever in Canada, and he was just 18 years old. Fast forward to 2013 Mac Miller is already off to a great start, he was awarded Complex Magazine “Man Of Next Year” award which is a spotlight on the artists who are set to transform “the worlds of Music, Sports, Art and Design, Pop Culture, and Style”. As the winner Mac received a luxurious custom made varsity jacket designed by Marc Ecko, a custom Fisker Karma car valued over 100 grand, and he shared with us how that honor felt. Mac Miller also opened up about his upcoming album Watching Movies With The Sound Off, he told us it’s the most personal album he has ever recorded and why he decided to open up with us. I asked him if he felt a little bit of insecurity about releasing very introspective music and how he feels people will respond. Mac answers these questions and what he has planned for the rest of 2013. Check this out and more in our interview with Mr. Most Dope aka Mac Miller.

I caught up with Sonreal and Rich Kidd on their Canadian tour stop at Fanshawe College in London, On. Our interview started with discussing the humour in Rich Kidd’s music and he tells us why it’s important to him to keep it playful, SonReal gave us a perfect example by reciting one of his rhymes in the song Best Believe. Even though The Closers (SonReal and Rich Kidd) have worked plenty of times together, they tell us what they’ve learned from performing together and how to deliver a show that is full of energy, flow and fun!

I ain’t taking shit over bro, if I was taking anything over we would have taken over four albums ago, I’m very frustrated, that’s not even a joke, I did Peterborough last night, there was six people. D-Sisive

Wow where do you get started on a interview like this? With the countless of interviews I’ve conducted I have been able to get authentic answers and insights from all types of artists. This interview right here with D-Sisive and Muneshine has to be number one for me because of their honesty, their vulnerability, and frustation they are feeling with the music industry. Right after their performance at the Jonestown 3 album release party at the Rivoli, D-Sisive got us caught up what he has been up to in the past year; his feelings about his third Juno nomination for Rap Recording of the year and the Asian Elvis Mixtape release. What I wasn’t expecting is D-Sisive and Muneshine telling me they are done with Rap music. Check the full post to read my full summary on this interview!

The Come Up Show is proud to present our interview with Yelawolf. Conducted in Toronto, Ontario at Community 54 right before his meet and greet, Yelawolf opened up to us about in detail about his life.

You have to have a lot of pain before you can be culturally impactful, once you share your story that’s the difference between a rapper and a superstar Yelawolf.

If you remember the XXL freshman roundtable last year Yelawolf gave some valuable advice to the younger emcees like Mac Miller, Kendrick Lamar, et al, about sharing your story and tribulations. Since Yelawolf has been through his fair share of pain, I asked him if he felt that all of the struggle had a purpose, if he knew that his story was being created when he was homeless living on food stamps.

In Part.1 of our interview with Styles P he talked to us about working with Curren$y, his book The Invincible and much more make sure to check it out if you haven’t yet. Continuing with Part. 2 I could tell Styles P is more focused than ever! He is promoting a healthy lifestyle by opening a Juice Bar in the Bronx, and giving advice on our diet.

It’s important to use our voice as artists instead of talking about jewerly and fast cars, I try to address some of the issues our community needs, like try to eat healthy, a lot of us have children and family. In America we don’t have free healthcare and most don’t have insurance so we should try to do as much as we can to prevent diseases and health risks. Most of us especially in Hip-Hop we have a fast life most of us  drink, smoke, and other things. We have to weight it out and at least eat right. Styles P.

With his busy lifestyle Styles P still takes the time to “wake up and smell the roses”, he tells us most important is his family, he takes time out to enjoy life with them because they are the reason he hustles so much. You can he is really motivated as this year he is involved in the Wu-Block album, World Most Hardest Emcee, a project with Diamond Clothing Company, working on a second book, if they don’t get the LOX paperwork figured out they will release a LOX Mixtape. Believe it or not Styles has been rapping since 1995, he shares with us the advice on what has given him longetivity in this career. Check this out and more in our interview with Styles P.

Make sure to check the photo gallery of the Styles P and Sheek concert in London, Ontario.

It was such a pleasure to interview Styles P, 1/3 of the Lox and member of D Block. We interviewed Styles P when he was touring Canada with Sheek Louch. Since Styles hasn’t been in Canada since 1996 I asked him about the Canadian tour, his book invincible, and how he connected with Curren$y for their EP #The1st28. If you remember our interview with Curren$y he told us he couldn’t go more than an hour with lighting another joint, so naturally I ask to ask Styles P about his habits as well. Check this out and more in Part. 1 of our interview with Styles P on The Come Up Show.
