Ahh the beauties of myspace. So there I was the other day just looking around and I stumbled upon this talented individual who goes by the name P.H.I.L.T.H.Y. At the first instant of listening to his music, you can tell that he's different. His music carries a deep message, yet you don't feel sad at the events that are happening around the world as you listen to it, no, instead it makes you feel like going out and changing it.He hails from Michigan and has been in the game for about 5 years now, performing live with artist such as The Pack , Tyga, The Cool Kids, Nick Speed, Liza Garza, Othello, Ohmega Watts, One Be Lo, Finale, Invincible, Alias, and many other signed and independent artist.
His music is soulful, yet it's not completely based on religion "I'm not a Christian rapper I make music for sinners too But I am a christian None the less" says P.H.I.L.T.H.Y.
Once I heard him I realized that he had to be the next artist interviewed on The Morning Tilts, so here it is guys, enjoy.
So let's start off with a little introduction. A lot of people may not know who you are, can you inform them?
My names P.H.I.L.T.H.Y. Just a young artist from Lansing Michigan Trying to make powerful music and have fun with it.
That's one thing that listeners really take note of when they hear your tracks, you seem to always have a message, yet you make it in a fun, and uplifting way. What's inspired you to make music that way?
First and for most God This talent is a Gift and I just want to use it the right way but I mean its not even needing inspiration to make the tracks fun I just truly encompass my personality on the track I'm way pass caring what people think of me I'm like if you aint trying to have some f-u-n f-u then lol
Haha, that's pretty good. So I've been wondering, as I'm sure that others have; what exactly does your name P.H.I.L.T.H.Y. stand for?
P.H.I.L.T.H.Y. means Phenomenal Hip-Hop Individual Living Through His Years
That's pretty creative, and suitable for you. Your album SaVe uS aLl has been compared to "Reasonable Doubt" by Jay-Z, another "Phenomenal Hip-Hop Indivudual". How did you feel when you first heard that?
I feel flattered Like Reasonable Doubt is a classic Album I only hope people will consider my debut album a classic as well its a real big deal
I don't doubt that it will be. So I saw on your blog that you're pretty excited about the Origin of Wolverine movie that's set to come out '09, are there any other movies that you've heard of that you can't wait to see?
I'm interested in seeing that W. movie about Bush lol but I'm serious and I with all the hints in Iron Man and the newest Hulk movie I 'm wondering if there really gonna do a Avengers Movie that would be sooo dope
Word on the street is that they're planning on releasing it in 2011, I'm definitely hyped for that too. Since we're on the subject of movies; what would you say is your favorite all-time movie?
It would have to be a tie between The 5 heartbeats and American History X
American History X is definitely a classic.So getting a little off topic, who(if at all) will you be voting for this coming election?
I got to hear more from the canidates but right now its looking like Obama
What's your favorite artist(regardless of genre) at the moment?
SantoGold She's a Genius
Yeah, SantoGold is definitely on heavy rotation on my iPod aswell. Are there any artist that you would like to collaborate with in the future?
Artist I would want to collab with Lauryn Hill, Nas, Kanye West, Gnarls Barkley, The Roots , Justice, man theres so many
So you're currently working on an EP with Jansport J, how's that going?
I've got about 80 % of it written just gotta finsish a couple songs and start recording its looking real nice should be out late08 or real early 09 Its gonna be crazy
Awesome. It's been a pleasure talking to you and we'll definitely be looking forward for that EP to drop. Any last thoughts or shoutouts?
