Here's the Interview: One-On-One with Danny Hill$!
1. How did you come into wanting to become a rapper?
Since I was a jitt I was always just really connected with music. I grew up listening to Wayne , Eminem , NWA, Linkin Park and finding new music just became my hobby. I grew up like an only child so whenever I wasn't in school I was just by myself writing and listening to music. I would have notebooks filled with lyrics that I would write to Instrumental versions of my favorite songs.
2. What separates your music from other artists? Describe yourself as an artist
I'm really genuine when it comes down it. Everything I spit is a representation of what I've been thru or whatever I've ever felt. A lot having to do with experiences I had growing up going back and forth in Miami and Broward. I'd say my music is just real raw aggressive gutter music. The dark vibe in my songs definitely comes from the fact I spent most of my years in Homestead , Florida. If you're from there you just know. Really small place with nothing to do but drugs and just getting into trouble and shit. That place and all the people I've encountered really helped create who I am
3. What artists do you look up to?
First of all the the homies, just cuz they are just as dedicated and passionate as me. Our group is really competitive in a friendly way when it comes to music, just motivating each other to do better every track. When one of my dawgs make a song and shows me out of nowhere, It never fails to blow my mind and makes me want to go even harder. I'm also really inspired by Kurt Cobain and the whole grudge movement he helped start in Seattle. His art and dark lyrics just naturally catch my attention.
4. Why is pursuing your music important to you?
This shit is everything I ever wanted. Since a younginG this is all I dreamed about. I never wanted to do anything else but make a living off of my music.
5. With you being from FL, did the sound of early Downsouth hip-hop/rap influence your music in anyway?
I'm on ride down to Miami right now with the homies for a show we got Friday and my homies currently blastin Trick Daddy so that should tell you enough.
6. What direction you think you're settling for your city music scene?
Bringing passion back into this shit. Lotta these young rappers out right now just in it cause it's what's cool right now. My boys and I bringing that genuine raw shit cuz that's what we been raised around.
7. What do you think will help your city artists become more mainstream?
Everyone coming together and building with each other like they do in Atlanta. But that ain't happening any time soon. Shit is cutthroat down here no one fucks with each other too heavy unless they already popping. Shit just like that but that don't bother me,
