Featured artist: The Villains – Trailblaze, Countup Deniro, Drooopy, and Kid Littt - The Villains: Saving Southern Hip-Hop?
Below is a short interview with the upcoming underground artist The Villains – Trailblaze, Countup Deniro, Drooopy, and Kid Littt.
How did you decide to become an artist?
The Villains – Trailblaze, Countup Deniro, Drooopy, and Kid Littt: Trailblaze: ”I just always loved music, no matter what kind it was i was always surrounded by it. With alot of stuff going on around me growing up that was my only escape through music.”
Countup Deniro: ”To make good music not the bullshit niggas be on nowadays, and to stay paid so I can feed the ones I love while doing something I love.”
Drooopy- ”I was really into hip-hop growing up and recently got more into writing lyrics and structuring songs. I guess its just how appealing it was to me and I felt I could succeed in this.”
Kid Littt: ”I always was a good reader and writer in school, and never really saw anything else that i really loved that I felt I could do for a career. My senior year in high school was when i knew this is what i wanted to do with my life.”
”Give it your all and beleive that you can do it because if have talent but don’t beleive in yourself how can you expect anyone else to buy into your dreams.”
What about concerts? Do you play live?
We are currently scheduled to appear at our first live show with Coast2Coast, in Miami May 29th and hopefully we will gain momentum from there and build our concerts and fanbase up to do even more shows.
Best punchline you ever wrote?
”You know its bad when The Villains gotta save the day…”
What are you currently working on? Did you release something in the past?
We are currently working on our debut group effort, ”Blunt Brothers”
Last but not least: Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Not too sure if we would sign a record deal just yet. There are so pros with getting a major label deal early on such as the money, promotion, and big time cosign, but we want to establish ourselves first and deliver the people our own message without the guidance of a label forcing us to make a certain type of sound.
Any last words?
We wanna first give a shoutout to the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ because he helped overcome so many obstacles to even still be around in order to make our dreams come true. But yeah we would like to give a shoutout to our hometown The Music City Capital Nashville, Tennessee, we would like to shoutout our promotion group I65Nation, and we would like to shoutout all of our supporters and people who believe in us and share our dream.
Where can we contact you?
The Villains – Trailblaze, Countup Deniro, Drooopy, and Kid Littt: You can folow our group page on twitter @TheVillains615 and in the bio it has links to everyone in the groups personal page.
Thank you for your time. We wish you and your career the success it deserves.
