Alright guys, I got something special for you right here. After I posted that Add-2 mixtape, Add-2 himself sent me a personal message thanking me for the support. I took advantage of this opportunity to get in an interview with a future Hip Hop great. Take a look:To start out the interview, could you give us a little introduction for those that don’t know? What you do, your name, where you’re from, etc.
-What up, I'm Add-2 of the mighty Rascals crew. I'm a writer, college graduate and proud emcee and I was born and raised on the southside Chicago.
How does it feel to come out of a city with such extreme Hip Hop competition? Lupe Fiasco, Kanye West, Common, Kidz in the Hall, The Cool Kids (just to name a few) are all from the city of Chicago like yourself. Does that intimidate you in any way? Why or why not?
-It feels good because all of those artist make great groundbreaking music and they have paved the way for Chicago artists like myself. I look up to Common, Kanye and Lupe and Kidz In The Hall gave me my first opportunity to be in a video so I don't look at it as I have to compete with these artist. Its not really intimidating because I'm not trying to be better than anyone, I just want to be the best songwriter I can be and give my fans what they want out of me. Plus it would be hard to really compete with someone like Kanye his music is lightyears ahead of alot of peoples stuff.
