You might not recognize his name, but i’m positive you’d instantly recognize his production. Rick Ross- 600 Benz? That’s him. Llyod Banks- Start It Up? That’s him. Young Chris entire Revival mixtape? Yep that was also Cardiak. This New Jersey producer is a great example of how perseverance and talent can open up the doors that will lead to your dreams. After the jump you can read my interview with Cardiak discussing multiple topics that range from, how his collaboration with Young Chris happened,producing at age 14, and much more.

He’s on all your favorite blogs, performed in all your favorite cities, and given a listen will probably become one of your favorite rising artist. Describing him as a skilled wordsmith would be a understatement, lyrically, all i can say is his name does him justice. In my interview with Lyriciss we discuss the background surrounding his name, his current EP The Balance: Respect, A3C,and much much more. Watch The Balance video above, view the interview after the jump, and be sure to check out his music, guaranteed it won’t disappoint.

Yung Nate

You’ll be surprised not to see this guy on all your favorite music blogs, his face pops up so much i don’t know if he’s running a #FreeMusic campaign or for president. I’m referring too Twenty-Three year old emcee Yung Nate. His grind and consistent release of quality music is rare, making him standout like a giant in a room full of midgets. With a free album out entitled Meant To Be Broken, and music flooding the web it was a no brainier to reach out too the Atkboyent artist. We discuss the album, The FreeMusic campaign, his producer Woody, and much much more. You can enjoy the interview after the jump and be sure to check out Meant To Be Broken.

#TheTapeDeck Meets Ryshon Jones

Many young up an coming artist music is easily influenced by radio. So many kids came out rapping like Wiz once Black & Yellow became the number one song in the country. This isn’t a problem you’ll find in Ryshon Jones music, actually its the exact opposite. With each song or mixtape released, nothing really screams top 40 hit or generic, but XXL was impressed enough to feature him in their magazine. This 20 year old Philadelphian creativity is what will keep him relevant and that’s what artist should take from him more than anything. BE CREATIVE! After the jump you’ll see me & Ryshon discuss Brightest, Night/Darkest Days, ideal women, success to him, and much much more.
