Exclusive Interview with C PLUS

2009-05-21T12:33:00.000-07:00

Briefly tell us about how you got started for those who don't know.

Started freestylin' in my early teens, just kinda stuck with it. started recording and putting out lil' mixtapes and what not around the age of 18. Built a small buzz within Sac, and now im here.

We see you did some stuff with Black Milk, how did that come about, what was it like working with him?

umm...well i never actually worked WITH Black Milk haha. He put out a beat tape in '08 called Music From The Color Purple. My tape, The Purple Heart was just me goin' in over that whole beat tape. I met Black at his album release in LA, and he was cool....gave me a drop for the tape. I don't think he ever listened to it tho...haha

What has been your best and worst moment since you stepped into the hip hop game?

It varies...i'm pretty sure the worst and the best are yet to come. Purple Heart was def. a high point. I've been passed up for a lot of shows, and missed a lot of big opportunities in music due to other responsibilities. That's always a downer, but you gotta tough it out, ya know

So what projects do you have going on right now?

I just dropped my 3rd mixtape of '09; May/Mar Madness. In March I did a live music feed where I leaked a song everyday for the entire month..so this tape is just that .zipped up for my loyal listeners...the ones who really fuck with me. We didn't do any promo for it...I just woke up one day and was like "fuck, I still need to put out all that March Madness shit". So I made the cover art and put it out that night. As I do this interview Im with Lee Bannon, dumping down beats that are gonna be used on our EP that will be out hopefully before the end of summer. Me and Nicatyne got a project in the works. Me and Dj Oasis have a mixtape coming in June/July; A Breath of Fresh AIR! That'll be me on a lot of industry/mainstream stuff that's already out, just giving it my flavor. Then me and my older brother; N*Pire are sitting on enough material to put out a album, but were still stacking tracks daily...we're not putting out Band Of Brother's without some type of deal, cause it deserves one. Me and Rock Burgandy have a mixtape done that's waiting to be mixed (5th AVE is a busy MF). And i'm always putting new shit in the works. All the projects I named will be out before the end of 2010, then I might go to College and stop doing music for a lil'...or somethin' like that

Lately Sacramento has been stepping its game up, how do you feel about the love local artist have been getting and what would you ultimately like to see happen in Sacramento?

Sacramento doesn't get a quarter of the love it deserves from it's city. The promoters and venues are slowly coming around, but the fans is still a losing battle. People don't come out to shows because the club owners make them feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. Then they don't wanna pay to see a show because there's prolly somebody dope on the bill, but they have to sit thru 2 to 5 bum ass niggas that only got on cause they're somebodies freind or cousin. I'd eventually like to see everybody gettin' money, fans loving our music, and venues WANTING us to come perform at they spot; not the other way around. I wanna see Sacramento get the national spotlight as far as Hip Hop; just like Houston had. They Bay had it for a sec. ATL had it. Then MIA had it last year. They gave it back to ATL but now it's slowly moving to LA with the whole new school scene out there. But I honestly feel we got it. They just don't want us to have it 'cause were a small city and were not blown up on a scale of popularity in general. No one ever says, "Hey, I wanna go on vacation. I wanna go to Sacramento." I compare us to Detroit like that in a lot of ways. Same with the DMV. (D.C., Maryland, Virginia)

Hip Hop Congress is holding HIP HOP AWARNESS show, how do you feel about that event?

Straight up. There's a lot of dope niggas on the flyer, and a lot of the B squad. I feel it when people say stuff like "Oh, there tight but just not for everybody. Or, this ain't my thing but, I see why pepole would listen to it". But whack is whack. I don't think y'all need to make people more aware of already bad music. Weed the dope niggas out from the bums, than will see what's up. But I will be at that shit, with a open mind too.

Tell us about the the song people will be able to download.

The song you'll be able to grab is MightyMighty. It was produced by Billy Hi-Life from Neighborhood Watch. This is prolly what you would consider my most "street" record to date. It was me giving the listener a taste of my struggle and frustration, but in an almost cocky, braggadocious way. It's dope haha

Click "Here" to Download MightyMighty

Any last words or shout you would like to give?

Shouts to everybody who listen to my music, and see's my vision and where i'm going with it. I feel like we can give some of the younger cats something to believe in, and they'll really get behind me (pause) and a few other select cats and help us break Sacramento to the rest of the world. Shouts to all my producers who give me the canvas to paint these pictures on. And also big shout outs to you guys, and all the other digital media outlets pushing real music. One love to my fam, and the whole Watch Gang (Bang!Bang!) and Loops&Legends Music Group. LET'S GET THIS $$$!!!

Nyle "Let The Beat Build".... BEST FIND OF TODAY

2009-05-14T10:47:00.000-07:00

I am at just pure awe at the level of talent put into this video. There is so much creativity going on that my head was about to explode. From the fact that it’s all shot in one take, to the perfect lighting, to the awesome lyrics of a REAL (non-auto-tuned) rapper, to the introductions of each part that helped the beat bulid. Lil’ Wayne’s version just sounds like regular mainstream clear channel trash. Good beat, but it doesn’t actually “build” up like Nyle’s version. Plus, Nyle’s version has lyrics you can understand and enjoy while Lil’ Wayne is just sounding like a guy who is high or drunk (or both). Lil’ Wayne is “acting like he’s street, but (hes) barely sidewalk.” More props to you Nyle.

PHOTOGRAPHER LUKA KASE

2009-05-07T11:50:00.000-07:00

Bio via Lukakase.com:

Having been raised in a family where photography and traveling were part of everyday life, young Luka was no stranger to running around with the camera and playing with film rolls. When he was just nine years of age, one of the many photographs he had taken already became his first published work. He spent his youth taking pictures, but natural curiosity led him to venture beyond pulling the trigger, towards the emerging magic of computers. Notwithstanding his obvious talent, he decided

to pursue graphic design. Over the next couple of years he strove to combine his two great interests, graphic design and photography, which resulted in numerous successful collaboration projects with movie makers, music artists and magazine editors. And yet, one cannot escape one’s fated love so easily. At a certain point, Luka came to understand that photography was his essential means of expression. His photographs are strong and filled with emotion.

They will never leave the viewer indifferent. Although a photograph may only capture a split moment in time, those taken by Luka contain such narrative power the viewer is each time filled with new impressions, with insight into new stories. Storytelling, namely, is the main element of Luka’s photography. He tries to discover the hidden side of the subject posing in front of the camera, and reveal a whole new identity of the person portrayed through his photo

Yeezys just changes my MIND

2009-05-05T10:20:00.001-07:00

Now I was like aot of people and wasnt really on this whole hype of the air yeezys. UNTIL i saw them at the release at St. Alfreds.!!! DaM!!! I my feet are going to look like that at night...I think me and Marty Mcfly are going to be twins for a min.

ST. ALFRED'S press release from Krabby Rangoon:

Our concept for this release was to re-create the shoe within the
store. We did this buy covering the floor in a glow in the dark paint
to represent the sole.. I was able to find a paint in Maryland that
actually glowed as bright as the Yeezy's do after being exposed to
ligt.. if you look at the pic of the shoe on the floor you will see
green around it.. that's the floor glowing and not light being cast
down. Since we couldn't flip the entire store we built a set within
the store, when the customers came in they walked into a black room
with a glowing floor, pink accents, and smoke from a fog machine to
represent the grey around the toe.

Our line started on Weds the 29th and hit capacity early Thursday
morning.. as the build out was too large to pre-fab and bring in we
had to close at 6pm Friday night to start the construction. We opened
around 1am to a very eager crowd of tired people.. Upon opening we
had the customers come in one at a time, after each person left we
paused the line and brought out the flood lights to charge up the
floor and shoes so every person had the same experience with shoes and
floor glowing insanely bright. It was awesome.

I noticed when we did the last event that we lost a lot of the "glow"
effect to ambient light
from outside. This time we blacked out all the windows and doors,
leaving only our "A" logo on the door in Hot Pink as a marker of where
they were and what was going on. This also allowed us to give each
person a private experience. Most these guys had been in line for 3
days, each of them in and out of the shop a few times each day.. they
thought they were gonna be coming into the Saint Alfred they knew.
The initial
reaction on their face was the best part for me.

Also, we had our front gate painted to match tees we created for this
event, you will see it in the pics sitting under the shoe.

We sold the shoes for $300. Each person getting the tee we created
for free and one of the customers pair being free via a random number
drawing..
