1. My G! What’s good? State your name and where you’re representing.

        What’s up bro. Ricky Ramses from Cliffwood, NJ.
2. Coming up in New Jersey do you feel the pressure of being overshadowed by NYC? 
        Not at all actually man, I pretty much feel that I have my own lane in this music so I don’t really feel “pressure” from anyone. They should probly feel pressure from me though Hahaha.
3. Where did you perform your first show?
       Church, when I was like 11. Haha nah but I performed at the VFW in Neptune,NJ.
4. If you could bring back any MC from the dead who would it be and why?
       Tupac, definitely Tupac. He was more than just an “MC” in my opinion. I mean, he died when I was like 5-6yrs old so of course when I was younger I only recognized his music. But now looking in retrospect as a man, and seeing how this world really is, and the moves he planned on making, he was an activist … A revolutionary. He wanted to make moves bigger than music, he wanted to make change for the people, that’s bigger than hip-hop to me.
5. Favorite spot to eat in NJ?
   Wendy’s haha I’m a simple brother, or coldstone or something like that.
6. Are you working on any project’s right now that the people should look out for?
       Yeah, I’m actually wrapping up the production of my next mixtape, ‘A New Beginning’ which will be dropping within the next couple months so look out for that. Also, I just shot the music video last week, for my 1st single off the mixtape, “Bounce” which will be dropping August 5, 2014, so definitely look forward to that!
7. Any last shout outs?
      Yes of course, my bros, Snacks, Bop, Phamee. Everyone at Paradigm. The women in my life. The almighty woman. My man Rich Mahogany, and last but not at all the least, me! Haha follow me on IG @rickyramsesthegreat. Twitter @rickramthegreat. Hit me on Facebook, Ricky Ramses. Subscribe to my YouTube channel, Ricky Ramses. Much love, respect, and blessings to Liberation Live Radio!

Interview: NiGE HOOD

nige hood

1. What’s your name? What city are you representing?

A: My name is NiGE HOOD, and I represent myself by way of Charlotte, NC.

2. As a lyricist, who would you say is your number one influence?

A: Nas, I would say the foundation of my flow came from him.  Nas had a slow delivery, he used the multiple syllables of words, broke them apart, and smoothly lays them down over the beat to construct his verses.  I adopted that flow early as a youngin’ because it allowed me the room to fit all of the deep ideas in my head over a beat.  As opposed to me rapping like Ludacris or something, lol, my songs would sound a lot different.

3. Top 5 Dead or Alive?

A: I’m gonna cheat and instead give the 5 pillars of what made up great Hip-Hop for Myself as a fan:
Nas, UGK, Outkast, Eminem, The N.W.A. lineage (Cube, Dre, Eazy) and A Tribe Called Quest

4. Do you feel Charlotte is going to get the attention it deserves in the industry?

A: I believe that attention is attained via talent, presentation, luck and hard work.  Charlotte definitely has the talent to entertain America and the larger world.  More and more rapidly, the quality of our projects, videos and overall presentation of our artistry is improving.  If we continue to work, work HARD, all we need is the will of God and good timing.  That’s how every movement gains force.

5. Best place to eat in Charlotte.

A: I rocks with Maddie’s Diner and of course I’m getting dessert at Amelie’s French Bakery. Jack Beagles in NoDA has some DANK Mac n Cheese!

6. Are you working on any projects? What do you have out now?

A: Right now I am promoting my recent release, “THOUGHTS Vol. 2”, available on iTUNES, GooglePlay, Amazon and Spotify.

You can find my past projects at www.Soundcloud.com/NiGEHOOD/Sets

7. Any shout outs?

A: Shout out to my team at BLVCKUNIVERSE.com!  The Charlotte music family, Mic Iver, King Callis, Joe Sig, Elevator Jay, Jay Pluss, Quent Young, SeniorYr, Tim Stack$ just to name a fraction of the talent that we have out here in the city.
