Exclusive Interview with Extraordinaire

 



So EXTRAORDINAIRE where are you from, and what’s it like in your home town? 

    I am from Chattanooga Tennessee. I was born in Nashville and spent a lot of time in that area learning the music game and my father was from Atlanta so I spent a lot of time there  with him absorbing that rap scene coming up. Back in the day a lot of artists broke in my Chattanooga so we have a great history and a real dope music scene in and of itself

 


Could you tell us more about Black Folk Inc. and Circa 94 Beats? 

They are both musical outlets for me. BFI is a musical I started with my partner B-Lo Brown and it was supposed to be a flip on NWA and we have released a few projects and singles over the years . Circa 94 Beats is a production crew that B-Lo is also apart of as well as my partners Mcghee and K2 .It's an outlet for other types of production in hip-hop that is not in the mainstream. Jazz to Boom Bap to lofi.


How long have you been doing music and who are some of the notable people that helped you along the way?  

I started in the game when I was like 12 and B-Lo Brown was actually instrumental in me getting started in the game because he was a little older and had a crew that DJ'd and made beats. I was cool being the hype man and eventually got equipment and worked up to being a producer and eventually rapping. I later went to Middle Tennessee State University where Tay Keith graduated for its Recording Industry program.

Could you tell us about your latest project?  

   I did a song  called "Bobby Brown" after the R&B legend Bobby Brown of New Edition fame. I shot a video in his honor and it seems like as I was about to roll it out he had a tour , a a documentary and reality series drop at the sametime so it's all love to the King of Stage. I was lucky enough to get him in my music video for a cameo which was an honor.


What was your first major success and could you tell us about the experience?

   My first album with Black Folk Inc. got a lot of love from critics and magazines that championed us to the masses. It let me know that I was built for this. While I  don't always win at the level I want to , I continue to get those little signs that I am not losing either and those bright spots keep me moving forward, That is a success in my book: doing something you love and getting confirmation that I am on the right track. 

Besides music do have any other interest and hobbies? 

    I truly like being as low key as possible when not working on music. So that includes movies and TV watching. I am also getting my game up on investing for the future especially nowadays

 


What can we expect from you in the near future?  

  I am plotting out several musical releases  from singles to EP's . I am an indie so even though I know it helps to put music out regularly I want to take my time and make everything as much of an event as possible. So taking my time to set up my marketing and promotional plan with my team is nearly as important to me as the music.


Anybody you would like to work with, and why?  

I have some dope features lined up and some projects with some legendary artists that I am in the process of finalizing. Stay Tuned



Any last remarks? 

This is your boy Extraordinaire The Great AKA Walter Lee AKA El Jefe The Boss and I want to implore you all to check me out  https://linktr.ee/extraordinaire and let me know what you think t

Michelle Rose Exclusive Interview

  Q:  What's it like growing up in Mpls?   Does the city have interesting stories about Prince?     A:  I only lived in Minneapolis until I was three, but I have fond memories of it.  Even now that I live in a suburb of Minneapolis, I still feel like I'm a part of Minneapolis.  I think a lot of Minnesotans have "Minneapolis Pride", even if they don't live in Minneapolis.  Minneapolis has so many fun things to see and do, and the arts are very important here, with so many theaters and live shows.     Prince put us on the map for music.  I hear Prince stories everywhere I go in Minnesota.  I've met so many people who were associated with Prince, including one of his dancers, and even a former Paisley Park employee working as a cashier at the local grocery store, so I've heard many Prince stories.  I wish I could've been a Chanhassen resident when Prince was still alive, because I know that many Chanhassen residents saw him casually riding his bike around

Den Edie Flyah interveiw

  Den Edie Flyah interveiw So could you tell us a little bit about your upbringing in Ohio?  I was sent to guitar leasons by my parents when I was 10 years old. My uncle lived with us back in    Ohio then and he played the drums. I grew up with a Rock band practicing in my basement.    I did not know it at the time but this little town I lived in knew how to rock. When did music become your main interest and what lead you to take music so seriously?   When I was 13 I saw my first rock concert. It was The kinks (one for the road tour.)    It changed me instantly. Suddenly that was the only thing I wanted to do.    To this day I'm still doing it. My guitar obsession had just started and    I did take some music theory lessons as well. I began learning how to create music or write a song.    I recently worked with two clasical Violinist. A Saxsaphone player and a Pianist. The Music theory lessons did pay off as I was able to talk to them in a launguage they understood.  Being a Singer
