Tanya T6: [Interview] Celebrate the Holidays with the Perfect Gift

Tanya T6: [Interview] Celebrate the Holidays with the Perfect Gift

We recently had the privilege of getting a chance to speak to the sultry sweetheart from Lotmusik, Tanya T6. One word comes to mind when listening to this R&B/Pop/Hip Hop artist: talent. Not only has Tanya T6 got the voice, she has got the look and the personality that won us over. You couldn’t ask [...]

Buff1: [Interview] Brightening Up the Game’s Future — One System at a Time

Buff1: [Interview] Brightening Up the Game’s Future — One System at a Time

We had a great time recently chatting with vibrant hip hop emcee, Buff1. Bringing the ruckus from Ann Arbor, MI, you can’t go wrong with Buff1′s unique artist flavor. While Buff1′s style is deliberately original, he is also influenced by classic acts in underground hip hop. Currently wrapping up a tour full of sold-out shows [...]

Hipsterwave Model: Daisy

Hipsterwave Model: Daisy

Meet Daisy. We found her last weekend at beautiful Laguna Beach in OC. Daisy was so cool that not long after our introduction we decided to ask her if she would have any interest in doing a Hipsterwave photoshoot. Daisy happily agreed so long as we provided the clothes, which we did, and the rest [...]

We’re kicking-off a model series for the site. Meet our first model: Laura Elisa. There’s an association between music and other forms of art and what’s more unique than a person?

Dame Grease: [ Interview ] If It’s Hot, You Heard It from Vacant Lot.

Dame Grease: [ Interview ] If It’s Hot, You Heard It from Vacant Lot.

We got hyped-up when we found out that a world-renowned super-producer like Dame Grease, aka Damon Blackmon, would take time out of his schedule to interview with us. Not only that, it was fun talking to him because of his passion for music and the fact that we got to hear a clip from an [...]

Cell Block Z: Chris Walker Interview About the New Ghostface Graphic Novel

Cell Block Z: Chris Walker Interview About the New Ghostface Graphic Novel

To his fans, Cole Dennis is a heavyweight contender with a devastating right hook.

Lazerbitch: Interview with Libby Picken

Lazerbitch: Interview with Libby Picken

So we caught up with Libby Picken from Lazerbitch and got a chance to interview her, finding out all kinds of information about  the group and some of the East Coast music scene in the process. Even though the Lazerbitch fan base keeps growing, Picken was still friendly and down to Earth, not letting her [...]

Jonathan Denmark & Letron: June 11th Show at Space 15Twenty

When we got to the show we were bummed about the fact that Letron‘s set was just ending, but the last few minutes of it that we saw were pretty great. It’s too bad that we didn’t get to see more of Letron other than some brief dancing and to notice that she was wearing [...]

Godfather Sage: Exclusive Mix for Hipsterwave

We got the privilege of getting our hands on this hot mix: sent from Baltimore to Los Angeles, just for you. As usual, the mixes are tight with a professional like Godfather Sage, and we’re especially fond of the mix between Harmonic 313′s “Dirtbox” and Fat Ray & Black Milk ft.

Born I Music: [Interview - Part One] – Get Familiar. Afro-Asian Electro-Hop.

neonsweb Born I Music: [Interview   Part One]   Get Familiar. Afro Asian Electro Hop.

Photo by Paola Angelino.

First thing’s first, we love exciting artists. Born is exciting to us. Venturing into new, refreshing and explosive areas of hip hop & electronica from the flows to the instrumentals. When we listen to Born I Music, it’s as though Tupac Shakur has passed and been reborn as “The Born Identity.”

We’re not all that spiritual, but Born I Music inspires us to get our meditation on more and to truly “meet ourselves.” We think that if you took Shakur, Ghostface, Kanye, Kid Cudi & The Clipse, put them in a blender and applied some of what Born’s production team (Godfather Sage, Imani Beats, & several others) calls “Afro-Asian Electro-Hop”, you’ve gotten a taste of what this man is doing.

On the heels of his latest release “THE BORN IDENTITY MIXTAPE” which you can download free here. We sat down with Born to learn about the man behind the music, his dad’s cooking and how Born manages to create bass-heavy, spine-tingling songs that just make you want to max out your car system and bob your head. Get Familiar.

Born I Music: You rang? Yo. What’s poppin’ G?

Hipsterwave: Not too much. I’ve actually been listening to your new album for like the past few hours non-stop. We also tweeted about it.

Born I Music: [laughs] Cool. Okay, no doubt. You caught it to the end?

Hipsterwave: Yup. Yeah, man.
