5 & Done: B. Martin
Born Brendan Martin, and dubbed by Hot 97 as “The best new Hip-Hop artist in New York ,” to his music fans he goes by B. Martin. Recently B. Martin released his first album on Itunes called Ladies & Gentleman this pass Tuesday. We caught up with B. Martin to talk music and his hot single “I Want It All” featuring Kendrick Lamar and Juicy J. AllHipHop.com: Why did you start rapping? B. Martin: I’ve always loved music, I’ve always loved Hip-Hop. But it wasn’t until high school that I started playing around with writing. Then one day, this kid tried to diss me. So I went home, wrote a diss rap on him, and took him down. After that, I continued writing. I realized how much I love the process of creation and having control over what I deliver. AllHipHop.com: What inspires you ? B. Martin:. I’m inspired by great music as well as my family and friends. Music is my love & passion, it pushes me to become more creative and try new things musically. AllHipHop.com: If you could describe your music as a superhero or villain who would it be like? B. Martin: I would say i’m closest to Batman. The way he transforms from a quiet reserved American into a crime fighting animal could be compared to my shift from being super calm off stage to letting it all go when the spotlight hits. AllHipHop.com: What are you working on currently? B. Martin: I’m currently working on songs that range from telling my childhood stories to bangers that will have the clubs getting HYPE. A really diverse portfolio of melodic music that’s true to my roots. It will probably turn into a mixtape or an album in the near future. My main focus is my newest single – “I Want It All” with Kendrick Lamar & Juicy J. We are currently in the process of shooting the music video. AllHipHop.com: Where do you see your self in 5 years? B. Martin: I just want to keep progressing. In five years I see myself in the studio still trying to perfect a song, sound, or lyric. I want to make sure my music relates, inspires people throughout the world. That’s my goal now, and will be five or fifty years from now. Follow B. Martin on twitter @BMartinOfficial
5 & Done: Yung Bleu
Rapper Yung Bleu is making a huge impact with his latest single entitled “Go Head” produced by Grammy nominated multi-platinum producer Drumma Boy. The single is one of the top independent songs at radio according to the charts. Background: Yung Bleu is a charismatic rapper from Mobile, Alabama poised to take the music world by storm. He is confident, bold, artistic and creative. He is working hard to further put his hometown on the Hip Hop map. AllHipHop.com: What’s good Yung Bleu? You’re buzz is crazy right now, but for those who are not familiar, let them know who you are? Yung Bleu: Yes, My name is Yung Bleu. I’m a rapper originally from Mobile Alabama. I was recently featured in XXL magazine, YoRaps.com, Top40-Charts.com and more. I started music as a young kid watching my brother rap and do music. I really just fell into what he was doing. I started rapping on tapes in my room. I would sit in there all day just recording and then I would take my music to school to let everyone hear it. By the age of 13, I went up another level and started recording in a real studio. But basically, I have a hustler’s ambition coursing through his veins. In 2010 and 2011, I released two Mixtapes called Anticipated and The Movement. The Movement mixtape featured a song called “Little Secret.” The video for the song was well received and it caught the attention of Memphis-based multi-platinum producer Drumma Boy. Me and Drumma boy joined forces to create a banger called “Go Head” which is currently getting a lot of radio spins around the country. AllHipHop.com: What project are you currently working on? Yung Bleu: The current project I am pushing is my street album called “Hello World” which is available for download on Livemixtapes.com. I really brought my artistic side to Hello World. It has stories about me and what I’ve been through. Stories that’ll get your blood flowing in the club. Just all around good music. It’s a good project. I worked with Drumma Boy on this project. In fact, the single “Go Head” is the first single off of “Hello World.” [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ceIths15N2c] AllHipHop.com: What is your USP? (Unique Selling Proposition) and what sets you apart from other artists? Yung Bleu: What sets me apart is that I have a certain swag and rhythm in my songs that I think is not heard among other aspiring rappers. My words are put together in a unique fashion. I rhyme with flavor. I have my own flow. And I keep it authentic. I’m not trying to mimic others. I’m just trying to be me. AllHipHop.com: Who or what are your inspirations? Yung Bleu: My inspirations include Lil’ Boosie and Do Or Die. But especially Lil Boosie, because he represents the struggles that I was going through at my start. Also my Young Boss Entertainment family inspires me. They give me guidance, direction and motivation. AllHipHop.com: Any Final Words for the people. Yung Bleu: Yes. Thanks to AllHipHop.com for the opportunity. Much love to Mobile, Alabama, my fans and the radio DJ’s spinning my records. Big shout out to Young Boss Entertainment. Follow me on Twitter @_Yungbleu. Also go get my single “Go Head” off of Itunes.. Salute!
