Artist Spotlight: Matrixx

This week we present "Matrixx" to you.



Check out what he has to say.

I'M AN 18 YEAR OLD MC FROM THE SOUTH SIDE OF CHICAGO. I'VE BEEN RAPPING SINCE I WAS 10. I THINK MY MUSIC INFLUENCES COME FROM A VARIETY OF PLACES, BESIDES MY FELLOW CHICAGO ARTISTS, I ALSO GET A GREAT DEAL OF MUSICAL INFLUENCES FROM OTHER RAP ARTISTS LIKE UGK, AND T.I., OLD WEST COAST MUSIC LIKE N.W.A., MY FAVORITE ARTISTS GROWING UP WERE NOTORIOUS B.I.G., MASE, EMINEM, AND JAY-Z. AN UP AND COMING RAPPER BY THE NAME OF "BLU" DEFINITELY HAS A BIG INFLUENCE ON MY MUSIC AS WELL.

I HAVE A CREW CALLED THE "RENEGADES" WHICH IS MADE UP OF VARIOUS ARTISTS,PRODUCERS, AND GRAPHIC DESIGNERS.

MY WHOLE PURPOSE FOR RAPPING AND ACTUALLY TRYING TO GET IN THIS INDUSTRY IS TO "PIGGY BACK" ON WHAT OTHERS LIKE KANYE, AND LUPE, AND BEFORE THEM, A TRIBE CALLED QUEST, AND COMMON HAVE DONE, AND THATS CREATING YOUR LANE, AND SHOWING PEOPLE ITS ACTUALLY COOL TO BE YOURSELF IN YOUR MUSIC. AND WHEN YOU ARE YOURSELF IN YOUR MUSIC, MOST OF THE TIME, IF YOU HAVE ANY TALENT, THE QUALITY OF MUSIC HAS A BETTER OUTCOME.

WITH THAT BEING SAID, MY NEW ALBUM "REVOLUTIONS IN SMALL DOSAGES" WILL BE OUT LATER THIS YEAR, PROBABLY IN FALL OR EARLY WINTER. AND AS A FAN OF MUSIC, I'M VERY PLEASED ON HOW ITS TURNING OUT. AFTER THE ALBUM IS OUT, I'M GOING TO TRY TO HIT EVERY MAJOR CITY AND DO A SHOW, SO IF ANYBODY HAS ANY SHOWS AND NEED AN ARTIST HIT ME UP. TO STAY UPDATED ON ME AND MY MUSIC..CHECK MY MYSPACE..
