Below is a short interview with the upcoming underground artist PUNCH 151.
How did you decide to become an artist?
PUNCH 151: Back in 1986 I was stage crew at the Fresh Festival In Detroit where I got to meet Run Dmc, Whodini, LL Cool J, and The Fat Boyz. Every since then I been In love with hip hop, so I started writing my own lyrics and started performing at school, church, etc… Then In 1997 I started an Underground label called 31G Records Detroit formed The Unstoppable group 31G, and been producing, and recording every since then.
The best advise given to me as an artist was, to never give up on my dreams.
What about concerts? Do you play live?
I occasionally perform at clubs as a solo act, or with my group 31G
Best punchline you ever wrote?
31Gun Salute
What are you currently working on? Did you release something in the past?
I’m currently working on my upcoming mixtape LYRICALLY SPEAKING set for release on July 1, 2014. 31G released our album Can’t be Stopped in 2010. And I got a few artists set to release their Mixtapes this year also.
Last but not least: Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yes, I will sign with a major label as an artist depending on the label, but prefer to be signed as label to a Mother label so i can bring out my own artists
Any last words?
I would like to send a shoutout to my Executive Producer SwitchMatiC, my artists D’A HEFNER, Tone ET, Leo TheDon, King RAYY, Khilla Khidd J-MO, and BIG MOE. And to my city Detroit that 313
