basa basa mga kapatid - PHS

---

Asha: Why do you chose your A.K.A? What does it mean?

Klumcee: When i was in high school i had the most number of shot glasses accidentally broken during our drinking sessions. Changed the clumsy spelling a bit to make it my own.

Asha: Best Describe you? In one word?

Klumcee: Schizophrenic

Asha: When and How did you get started with Hip-Hop?
            Do you think this genre will last or will people get tired of it?

Klumcee: I started listening to Hiphop/Rap Music when i was 7. I started getting into Hiphop more when i did some research, i found out more about its culture and my life's story in it narrated by several different artists.

People get tired when there's no progress, when ALL talented and great artists start to halfass their works. That just might be it. It would die down for a time, until another hip hop hero rises up to save the day.

Asha: Who were your Music influences?

Klumcee: All the great musicians, famous or not (from the songwriters, producers, performers and most importantly the sound engineers!)


Asha: What Hip-Hop albums did you grow up listening to?

Klumcee: Andrew E, FrancisM (Yo, Freeman), Markie D, MastaPlann (Way of the Plann) 2pac (Me Against The World, All Eyez On Me), Cypress Hill (Temple Of Boom), Beastie Boys (ill Communication), Biggie (Life After Death), Nutty Professor Soundtrack, Judgment Night Soundtrack, The Show Soundtrack, WuTang (36 Chamber, Forever), Luniz (Operation Stackola), Outkast, Warren G. BoneThugsNHarmony (E.1999)

Asha: What would be your dream collaboration with any Rapper or Producer?

Klumcee: Kendrick Lamar and Skrillex

Asha: Since there are so many great Street Hip Hoppers, what determines who gets to the top? How              can you become a Famous Rapper?

Klumcee: Do your research and keep updated with what is happening around you, take your craft seriously, do not over complicate, do not procrastinate, patience hardwork and consistency is gold, study the classics.. repeat the process, it dont end, if you get stuck in that cycle that means you are bound for something really great.

Asha: How do you separate yourself from other artists?

Klumcee: Having my own style.

Asha: What do you usually do aside from Writing Songs, Producing Beats and being a Rapper?

Klumcee: Nothing more, that's just it. more research i guess.

Asha: Whats the difference of this generation's Music genre compare on your generation before?

Klumcee: Music from my generation when i was just a listener has changed dramatically. So many genre crossover, technicalities, digital revolution that made all these changes happen. Im happy in the current state of local hiphop or OPM as a whole, people are more aware, you cant just trick them with hype or so-called revolutionary-this-is-real-music type of shit you want to shove on everyone's throat. We have to think of how we can come up with good music that will get our message across without people getting confused. We have a voice that can influence the thinking and behaviour of people that follow us, if we really are making music to better our society, and out of love for the culture and humanity, we shouldn't be like losers instigating hatred and violence towards other artists. Instead focus that energy on making a classic musical piece that you, your followers and the whole world will be proud of.

: Which one would you choose? :

Brief or Boxers? Boxers

Coffee or Beer? Coffee

Pizza or Tacos? Pizza

Liberated or Conservative? Both

Long Hair or Short Hair? Short

Island Hopping or Bar Hopping? Island hopping

Video Games or Biking? Biking

Single or Taken? Taken

Photos or Memories? Both

just incase you never know her, she's been doing alot for the community

ever since she join, once's started as a underground femcee, and now doing

events and promoting many projects, i can't help but notice

the dedication she have to the hiphop scene. And how do i know these things?

She became a personal friend.. Not being bias or anything

swerte parin to be able to get some words from her although she's have a tight schedule.

So what have we discuss? read below:

PHS: so kamusta kana Ms. Jozza? Anong mga bago mo ngayon

Jozza: Oki kamusta si Jozza Rhymez.. Eto po ok naman. Bc and blessed from all the things that are coming our way 

PHS: anong mga latest sayo ngayon? Are you into doing an album, or organizing events? I’ve known you from sometime and I can honestly say you’re one of the hard working few from the business.

Jozza: Ahh, yes... Were currently workin in a TV Reality show with Qyork. That would be aired on an intl cable channel and in Guam. Were also workin on the music vid of Salbakuta'S GRABE KA track.. And Bobby SKy's D7 band's "Kailan kaya" and a new Music Video for Covenant’s 2nd Album Featuring DX Rhyme from New York.

BloodyRhymez TV Production was also chosen to cater the TOH commercial for Wave 891 so we are very happy to that J

Izz of Q-York Edutainment featured me on his Track “Kanto Style” which we just finished shooting the music video and will soon be watch hopefully in myx too.

As for events. Were continuing the benefit events.. Our latest will be the LAPIS AT PAPEL benefit concert. We are workin hand and hand with our dear friends from the music industry in different genres as well as with the 2 leading online radio station together with some sponsors. LAPIS AT PAPEL is a benefit concert where u can just give some school supplies to get in. Proceeds will be going to Caritas Foundation.

We’re also workin for the Covenant’s Bar Tour this June & July.

I’m also a Promoter of Battle of the Beats Philippines Now. Thanks to ate Chill & Sam.

My Music on Deliver, MOD Family in Japan is about to release our Mixtape. They actually sponsored my Gym expenses and hopefully matuloy yung Japan Tour with MOD on Sept As for my album... yes.. I’m actually workin on it.. My album TRANSITION is under Q-York. That wud hopefully be out of the kitchen by October.

PHS: So that's a lot under your belt ha, how do you manage your time?

Jozza: Oo nga ehh.. I always wish na sana di lang 24 ang iras na meron sa isang araw but then again im so thankful na nagagawa ko oa din lagat ng paisa isa

PHS: it's really nice to have someone as dedicated as you, i remember you from that freestyle wall batter before ginulat mo pako nun but now your are in everything and you been dealing with the pioneers now so how it feels like working with the legends like boss Chill and other big names from the business?

Jozza: Well ako din... I never thot I'd be like this. Im a big fan of hiphop and everything on it.

Speaking of ate Chill. She's my mentor for real. She really guides me in everything I do. She even made me a part of the upcoming season of Battle of the Beats Phils. We'll promote it soon.Im thankful to all the hiphop pioneers for trusting me and giving value on what im doing in the scene.. This really means a lot to me., This guys are my inspiration & idol for real.

PHS: it's nice that your not just new school hiphop you also learn or tried to love the old school. sa tingin mo is the blending of oldschool hiphop and new school are possible? maraming new school kasi wala tlagang alam sa pinag mulan at walang concern...

Jozza: Im a 90's baby & I love oldschool hiphop. It’s the grass roots of the industry that we are keeping alive right now. And yeah ofcourse I believe that the unity & blending of the oldschool and us newschool will make this industry stronger. Im not saying I do know everything about the history but for me its just a matter of passion. Commitment and all love in this culture. 

PHS: anong opinion mo for the current state of hiphop?

Jozza: Opinion ok.. I can see that everybody's tryna make their own movement. Different ideas. Different perceptions. That for me is the reason why we are being heard. As per my own observation, we are being heard (filipino hiphop music) but ofcourse we shud not forget that hip hop specially to our dear pioneers is a sacred culture and lifestyle that cant be re-face.

PHS: well said ms jozza, so any final words sa mga up and coming artist who will be joining the community soon? any tips for them?

Jozza: Omg... To everybody who loves Hiphop, continue loving the lifestyle and the culture. Continue being a fan. Do not expect. Coz as long as u love it and u have the passion on it, it will for sure take u on wherever u wanna be.

PHS: pls feel free to include your shout outs

Sam Rhansum give props to PHS

so today i read this from sir Sam Rhansum himself

"10-30-13 Today I am thankful for Pinoy HiphopSuperstar. This is gonna get personal, so bear with me. I have spent my life as an “outsider”. A little southern boy who never developed the “accent”. Then a little white boy “rapping” and “making beats”. No matter how many awards, battles won, stages rocked you end up just “good for a white boy”. Never just “good”. I had to fight to earn respect. And I kinda developed a chip on my shoulder to prove my worth. Then I came here to the Philippines. And it started all over. Once again an “outsider”. Now not just my skin color, but my nationality, my history and my swagger. The board was erased and I was once again judged on the outside. And the culture here doesn't see the “chip” the same way. You walk into a joint back home with a smile, you look "weak" and you’ll get eaten alive. You DON’T walk into a joint here with a smile, but this skin color and swagger you look like an asshole. I had to loose the “chip”. But I still wondered if I would ever be accepted here. Some still don’t. But most have seen the heart and the desire to work with good people on good music. Regardless of race, or even language. I STILL don’t know who runs the PHS site. But my inclusion in it a year or so ago meant THE WORLD to me. Someone, who puts their time and efforts into supporting and promoting the local artists, considered me local. And most important considered me “part” of the scene. And for that I am TRULY THANKFUL."

---

I’m actually having troubles getting online lately because I get busy to work, and personal life And sometimes because I’m just plain lousy, or bored of the things I usually do, and appreciation like this inspires me because I remember doing PHS page without even any clue of what I am doing I just love making cards and hate not knowing people that I respect, like when I search about Nimbus 9 or Zikk I don’t know what they look like, that’s the very main reason of me doing the thing, later on it became something of a movement, people in the hip hop community appreciates what I do, they get inspired by it too, and when they do that pumps me up, and get inspired that PHS is something worth all my effort.

Talk about something with the caliber of Sir Sam Rhansum, most of them (international artist) helps us,

Most of them are actually more pinoy than us, they embrace our culture with all of their hearts, some are even better tagalog speaker than us or at least love our country way better. He’s inclusion in the PHS is all worth it, he has done nothing but to keep helping pinoys emcees, producers(Battle of the beats anyone?)

and pinoy hip-hop as a whole.  So I will say this again YOU ARE WORTHY to be in PHS sir, and more than welcome in the Pinoy Hip-hop community. THANKS AS WELL. - PHS
