This last year and a half has been really hard for me. I am going through a child custody case for my son.

Yeshua and my music are the reason I am still standing.

Explain who you are for those who don’t know/Where are you from?

What’s up y’all we by the name of New Track City. We’re a Hip Hop/Jazz group from Federal Way, WA. We’re formed of 2 rappers (Bem and Chi.Stone) and a producer (Dru on Beats).  We’re just into making overall dope music and giving out dope vibes.

Where are you from?

We’re from Federal Way, WA. It’s a city about 25 minutes south of Seattle. It’s actually right inbetween Tacoma and Seattle.

Whats it like growing up where your from?

Growing up in Federal Way was dope. It was cool because we kind of got both sides of everything as far as musical influence. We got that authentic 90’s Hip Hop vibe but since Seattle is know for it’s underground rock scene we got a lot of that too. Jazz is also heavy around our way so we were definitely influenced by that a lot.

How did you get into music?

We got into music seriously in High school. It first started with us just meeting up and recording at the homie’s home studio (AKA a microphone in a closet) and from that it just expanded into something big. We all had a huge passion for music before getting together.

What is it that you do? 

Man we’re just try and provide the world with the most dope authentic vibes through our music. We feel like that’s our job as artists. We’re here to inspire and innovate.

What are your goals? 

Our goals with music is just to change lives and make the dopest sh*t while doing it.

What are you currently working on?

Right now we just released our EP, “Lose Sight of the Shore”. We’re just working on getting that into the atmosphere as much as we can. We’re also doing a mini college/city tour, so catch us in a city near you soon!

How do you feel about the current state of HipHop?

Hip Hop currently is on the up and up. It’s starting to get more balanced out. At one point it was more one way then the other but now it’s kind of coming full circle. We’re excited to see what’s next.

Anything you would like to say? 

Much love to everyone who has been rocking with us and been supporting us. Y’all inspire us to keep doing what we do and for that we’re thankful. Our EP “Lose Sight of the Shore” is out now! Be sure to go check that out!
