Get to know N8TE below in our exclusive q&a interview with him

Explain who you are for those who don’t know..

A. My name is Nathan Bradford. Born and raised in Milwaukee, WI. 21 years old. Pretty chilled guy who likes to have fun. Like to laugh and make others laugh. A positive person and hardworker. I keep to myself a lot and not the loudest in the bunch. But I’m a person who’s willing to help you in any situation and always there for friends and family.

How did you come up with your name?

A. Nate is my nickname. Didn’t really wanna pick a name that didn’t mean anything so just went with a name everyone around me knows me as. I made it N8TE to make it a little different.

Where are you from?

A. Milwaukee, WI

Whats it like growing up where your from?

A. It’s tough. The crime rate, violence, drugs is serious here. Milwaukee, WI has been getting a lot of attention the past couple of years for that. I didn’t grow up in the best neighborhoods around here and didn’t get into the streets like most kids around here are. That’s not me and never will be. It’s more out there then the street life that Milwaukee needs to see.

How did you get into music?

A. I’m a music head. I listen to mostly anything from rap, rock, reggae, r&b & etc. So the music I hear influences me all the time. Freshman year in high school (2011) I recorded my first song with my older brother who’s a rapper also goes by Picaso Jetson. People I was playing it for supported the song so I got the confidence to make more music and turned out to be something I like to do. I use to sit in school or at home just writing to see what I can come up with. Now I’m older I’m really focusing in on the music and Tryna become as good as I can and learn from other artists.

What makes you different than other artists?

A. Being me makes me different. I have different situations, different thoughts or even being in different environments from where I’m from. Everyone is different. I don’t copy people because of a hot sound. My music is gonna come from whatever’s in my head at the moment and whatever beat I like. I don’t go for a certain sound. I just let it flow and come out.

What are you currently working on?

A. Right now I’m focusing on single records. I am very new to being a artist. I wanna put out different vibes to express my difference in my artistry. A full length project for me is not in the works anytime soon. I wanna build people into getting to know who I am and what my sound is.

Anything you would like to say?

A. “My Ex” will be my next single dropping. It features Breana Marin. Song is a very smoove vibe that many people who’ve been in past relationships, heartbreaks will understand. My music is gonna come from everything I go thru or observed. Being true in my music will give people a better understanding on me and hope I can grab the ears. More music will be coming soon…

Explain who you are for those who don’t know

What’s good y’all, I go by Cyphaa aka SamuraiCyph or that one fly samurai, which ever is dope

How did you come up with your name?

I got the name Cyphaa because of all the freestyle cyphers I used to get into with my boys back in high school. We would skip school alot of times to light up, throw a beat on, and just rap for hours. I fell in love with that shit, the whole cypher vibe/feel meant a lot to me. That’s hip hop man, so I decided to run with it

Where are you from?

I’m originally from Queens, NY. Jamaica Queens if you want to get technical. I moved out to Orlando, FL at the age of 16 and been here since. I ain’t complaining, Orlandos dope.

Whats it like growing up where your from?

It’s pretty rough where I’m from originally in Queens. I got into a bunch growing up out there as a kid, you know how it is running the streets younger then your supposed too. Built my stripes and what not. But Orlando, man Orlando ain’t no joke either lol. Me being from up top, I came thinking things are sweet. It has its beauty, but definitely lives up to it being the ‘dirty’ south. They get live out here lol.

How did you get into music?

I got into music in 08 actually. I was really big into listening to freestyles and shit. Really big into listening to cats zone out and go off. Moved out to FL and met a few dudes in school who were really out here freestyling. So, I linked up with a few of them and started joining in on the cyphers they would have in the backyards, or school yards, wherever we was at at the time. Fell in love with the reaction and feelings people got from hearing me. From then on I fell in love with the realization that I can create a vibe that can affect each and every person that comes in contact with it a different way. That shits priceless .

What makes you different than other artists?

I’m not here to be like/sound like /act like /talk like /please etc , ANYONE. I’m here just to bring my own sounds, vibes, and waves to the table. I don’t focus on other artists. Don’t get me wrong, im huge on music and new/old artists, and I respect them greatly, but I’m really here just trying to generate my OWN type of vibe for people. And those who rock with it, I do it for them. Everything else is irrelevant to me at this point.

What are you currently working on?

I’m currently working on a collaboration tape I have with Creamaveli3600 and the GTBPG movement, & also Mackk Glee$h and the 1upWorldWide movement. It’s gonna be pretty lit, make sure to stay tuned for the release date to that.

Anything you would like to say?

I wanna thank HHR for talking with me. Huge s/o to my SKROLL label mate FrankDollaZ, the whole GTBPG (Creamaveli3600, GTB Sayce), big ups to my bro Mackk Glee$h and the 1upWorldWide movement. Make sure to follow me on social media, much love to all y’all out there supporting us artists really out here grinding. #ItsASKROLLThing

Read our full q&a interview with Grainz below:

Explain who you are for those who don’t know?

My name is Grainz North. I am a Hip hop Artist from Toronto. More specifically, from North Side, Galloway area located in Scarborough.

How did you come up with your name?

I came up with my name because growing up people around me always said when I performed or spit my lyrics, they felt it. So, I realized early on that I had the ability to move people with my words. Most people when they hear the name “Grainz,” automatically think of ammunition. However, my name is a metaphor for just having the ability to impact/hit people with my music. I added “North” to my name because being raised in North Side Galloway (NSG) and I’m coming from the North (Canada) also in North America.

Where are you from?

North Side Galloway, Scarborough (Toronto).

Whats it like growing up where you’re from?
It’s real. Growing up where I am from is no joke. It’s not easy, especially because both my parents passed away before I turned 16. It’s just been my brothers and me, but I love how tight my community is and how we support each other. The love I get from my neighborhood and close friends is what motivates me to keep going and continue to put out music. My brother Jerz and I started our own company The Way Out Inc., and it became a movement in our neighborhood. You will always hear my team and me saying #WayUp #TheWayOut. Everyone is trying to invest their time in something they are passionate about and can help get them out the hood. S/O my whole team and the man dem in Galloway, dun know.

How did you get into music?

I started writing music at 11 years old. But then I stopped because I was occupied with other stuff. When my father passed in my arms, I needed an outlet to express my self. Anyone that knows me, can you tell I don’t talk much; I’m real quiet but observant. The passing of my father ignited a passion in me to stay occupied and focus on music. It was also a way for me to communicate and share my lived experiences and about stuff going on around me and in society.
What makes you different than other artists?

I am a critical thinker, versatile artist and I write my music. I’m very engaged in every creative and business aspect of my music and The Way Out Inc. I put a lot of thought into my lyrics, and I speak on real shit happening. But I can also make music that can people moving in the club. I am also a fan first of my music before I decide to put it out there. Sometimes, I just listen to my music because it’s helping me get through the day. It feels nice when people hit me up like that track made me feel good, or say they can relate to what I’m talking about in my music.

What are you currently working on?

Now, I am working on releasing my EP, The Way Out, set to drop in fall 2017. Also, I have a music video for “Entrepreneur” and “Goin Thru Hell” coming out soon. Look out for more music, videos and some other news.

Anything you would like to say?

I just want to say appreciate this interview with Hip Hops Revival and the support from the U.S and Toronto blogs, as well DJ’s, Producers, Radio stations, my fans, The Way Out team and my Publicist Arifah. You can stay updated with my music, videos and get to know me better off my social media sites. Everything is under my name Grainz North.

Explain who you are for those who don’t know

Hey folks! My name is Romandrey Manning aka Roman Da’Fro and I am a young 19 year old hip hop artist coming out of Garland, Texas looking at a chance for exposure and success. I want know the feeling of being in the spotlight, entertaining millions of people around the world enjoying my fantastic music.

How did you come up with your name?

I know you’re saying right now “how did he get the name from Roman Da’Fro from Romandrey Manning ?” Well its quite simple actually, so here’s the story on how I got that name. One day in the garage having a studio session with my pops (which is my producer by the way) he said to me, “So what are you going to start calling yourself now that you’re rapping doofus”. “How about yung doofus?” he suggested. Then I realized he was being an ass again so I just kinda ignored him. But I never sat and actually thought about until he brought it up so it was good he brought the idea to my attention. This after my first week of recording (November 2015 age,17 ) so now I had to think what I was gonna be calling myself, what will everyone call as they scream my name as I rock the mic on the stage. My first suggestion was the initials of my name Romandrey Kzel Manning. Then I thought theirs to many rappers who’ve done that already so I didn’t call myself RKM. As I was sitting in silence contemplating my pops just blurted out “THAT!” Once he did I was very puzzled and confused “what the hell is this crazy old man talking about oh no! has he finally lost it?” But I noticed he was pointing at my hair but before he said anything else he got and walked off for a smoke break. I thought to myself what does my hair have to do with anything? Then it hit me! My fro, that can be my signature their aren’t any hip hop artist that I know that rock Afros(everyone seems to be into colorful weird rainbow dreads for some reason). Theirs people that love how I rock my hair they always wanna touch it or praise me for it. But the reason I started rocking it is because that’s how I express myself, I don’t give a damn what other people are doing with their hair. Theirs also people that always suggest (which sometime irritates me) “Hey! why don’t you get dreads?” Why? because their not my thing not every dude with a lot of hair has to get dreads you know. This is how I express myself as an individual. But back to the point, so I started from there with my fro. So I started with “The Fro!” but that wasn’t dope enough for me. So I took the first five letters of my first name “Romandrey” and got “ROMAN” then changed “the” to “DA” and that’s how I got Romaaaaan! Da’Fro. Then from there the name stuck I thought it was dope and so did other people so I kept it.

Where are you from?

I was born in Dallas but mainly raised in Garland and as far music goes down here I feel like it slacking. I was born in Dallas but mainly raised in Garland. As far music goes down here I feel like it slacking. Back then I remember riding in the car with pops as he listened to Texas artist such as Z-ro, Fat Joe, Big Krit and Scarface. But besides that theirs nothing music oriented going on in Garland and Dallas has turned into a nothing but trap fanatics doing nothing more, nothing less. But there are a few indie artist down in the area I have respect that are keeping the art alive.

What makes you different than other artists?

What separates me from other artist is my originality, my own personal, and unique look which gives off a different vibe. I’m not one to be flashy either, never been one to go out of my way to but something I know I can’t afford. I just do my own thing and try my best to stay who I am because i know this industry will change you.

What are you currently working on?

As of now I am currently promoting my singles “Flawlessly Imperfect” and “Gallery”. I also have an official video for one of songs “So Sick” and I have an mixtape out titled “Ace In Da Hole”. So as of 2017 I have plenty of content and more coming
