Catching up w/ Dreadrock (06/2022)

We recently chopped it up with Dreadrock for a new Q&A to see what he’s been working on. Check out the full Q&A below:

Dreadrock! How’s it going fam? What you got going on right now? 

I just released 3 single Don’t Stop, Believe in Me and Till You Make It distribution by Eq Distribution partners of (Roc Nation)

That’s dope! So I see you’ve really been working. What do you have planned for the rest of 2022? 

I’m drop two projects: Lex Block 2 and Born Broke 3 

There’s a lot that’s been going on in the world. With inflation, wars, new laws being set, do you get involved much in the news or do you try to stay focused on music?

I mostly try to stay focused in my own thing with the music and the Ukraine war affected my label we just signed two producers from Ukraine 

How do you feel about the new abortion laws in effect here in the US?

I feel everyone should have a choice with your body and I’ll leave it at that 

How do you stay focused on music with everything going on in the world? 

I just keep moving and plotting my success 

As far as music goes, who are you listening to right now other than your self and label?

Soul music and future I like drake new album 

How do you feel about the current state of rap/hiphop? 

They need more of me. Its turning into disco music or dance HipHop 

What would you like to see changed in our industry? 

More support for artist being consistent and awards for up incoming 

We have had a lot of artists murdered/shot in the previous years. Do you feel like it’s important for artists to move a certain way?

Yes once you reach a level you must more like a superstar even if you just local 

Do you yourself roll with a lot of people/security when you go out to events?

Sometimes depending on the area 

We’ve seen in various videos that you’re a weed head lol… what is your fav type of tree?

Og kush 

What type of advice do you have for upcoming artists with no buzz or fan base?

Try your best to be yourself and tell your story without holding back

POPULAR – ILLAH [PROD VIPER BEATS] 

ILLAH is one of the few faces that represent South-Asian/Indian Hip Hop, Los Angeles-based singer-producer Mayurath Sinh, aka ILLAH, knows he stands out in the crowd. On his new Thump Records single, “Popular”, his unique style and smooth flow give listeners the real reason why this talented young musician is one step ahead. In addition to his dope flow and writing his own music, ILLAH has credits with producer Azide for his work on rap group D-12’s member Bizarre and Wiz Khalifa’s (added “‘s”) producer  Sledgren. Even with these stellar endorsements, ILLAH says the Indian stereotype still weighs heavy out in American music producer circles.
