Random Interview with Mike Swift

I was there, the first Araneta Dreams created by sir Mike Swift, i did along with 

my sister support that dream, i also write a review of that event

it was dope, it was adventurous, fearless, and can be a bit risky but it is what it is.

It's a dream by one guy who has a big faith in local hiphop, a dream that local fans shared too

and this year Road to Araneta is coming again,

i was able to talk with sir Mike Swift, so what have we discuss? 

read below:

-------------------------------------

PHS: What's up sir? whats new?

Mike Swift: Series of many things. Ever since i came into this game,
i had been consistent with newness 

PHS: i can see that your busy with something too... can you tell about us about it?

Mike Swift: Latest is the R2A 2015 journey. I basically put together a self made tour with the agenda of bringing awareness to the world about our April 9 Araneta Dreams project.

PHS: Speaking of R2A ngayon lang kita matatanong about the first R2A that happen a year ago? i have my own review of that event, pero para sayo, how was it?
do you think it went perfect? meron ka bang plano that day that didn't take place? do you have any other surprise that didn't happen?

Mike Swift: Everything went PERFECT!

PHS: is there's anything you need to improve from that first one? and what can we expect from this year april 9?

Mike Swift: We are going to improve on every aspect of our presentation. One thing you can expect...... SURPRISES!

PHS: do you think that this year can be better than the first one? do you think there's still
momentum in hiphop? or do u think it's declining

Mike Swift: I think we lost momentum on 2014 because of the many culture vultures that arrived with intentions to exploit the hotness of our hardwork.  That mixed with thirsty artists who were willing to be fooled, we fell back a step or two. But i can guarantee you a fired up and active 2015 for hiphop ignited by this R2A plan that is sure to shake up not only the pinoy hiphop scene, but to tremble the world.

PHS: sa sariling mong opinion sir although hiphop is getting some airwaves nowadays what else does Pinoy hiphop need?

Mike Swift: A make over! An international na local mover and shaker, more skilled warriors, a lesson in dignity and ethics, and a miracle! Hotter songs! We need that for sure.

PHS: Do you think we need foreign acts? does that snoop and em a teaser or a preview of something or a dream?

Mike Swift: A dream preview of a dream come true - i would love to have foreign acts, so they can open up for us in Araneta Dreams.

PHS: but like your stats a day ago, do you think they will just eat our artist, do we need them for our leverage?

Mike Swift: we can not afford them anyway, and if we can, i really would rather that money go to our locals, para naman madagdagan ang belief pa natin sa mga sarili natin at makagawa pa ng mga bagong projects na makakatulong sa pagunlad ng sariling atin!

PHS: i would agree to that sir. So with better songs, and better artist, what else do we need?
how do you think pinoys would make hiphop stronger, and ano pa kaya ang nakita natin sa R2A na di pa natin napapakita in this coming April 9

Mike Swift: Halos lahat   surprises upon surprises. I suggest for no one to blink.

PHS: to wrap this up sir... give your message to your supporters and promote what it is to promote

Mike Swift:  THE COLISEUM (Araneta Dreams 2015)  , enough said.

PHS: Lastly give your shoutouts

Mike Swift: Shout out to the universe! I know god's listening.

PHS: Thank you sir

Random Interview: with Klumcee by Asha Mojica

Klumcee:

Producer / Songwriter / Composer / Arranger / Mix Engineer / Recording Artist / Nocturnal

ano nga bang napag usapan nila ng aking partner LADY PHS na si Asha?

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.

Crazymix: nagsimula ko mag Rap bata pa ko mga 3yrs old kinakanta ko na yung mga kababayan ni FRANCIS M. at humanap ka ng pangit ni ANDREW E. tas nung grade school days lagi kami nag rarap ng kuya ko. sya talaga yung mahilig mag rap. samin nga nauso yung "MIB ang aming tatak isinilang kami sa dugong hiphop."  haha tapos lagi ko pinapasulat sa kuya ko yung mga nirarap nila para kabisaduhin ko. nagsimula na kami makinig ng ghetto doggs, death threat, pero palihim pa namin pinapakinggan yun sa walkman at cassette kasi may mga mura sisirain tape namin nun pag nadinig ng matatanda. haha tas nung first year high school ako. sinusulat ko yung verse ni GLOC-9 idol ko kasi sya ang bilis nya mag rap.  sinusulat ko yun habang nag pause, rewind, play sa cassette habang naka earphones bago matulog kahit mapuyat ako, kahit may pasok bukas. tas pinapakinggan ko paulit ulit yung verse nya iniimagine ko na sikat na rapper na ko kinakanta ko yung verse nya sa harap ng madaming tao. iniimagine ko ako yung bumibitaw ng verse na yun. at ngayon kumakanta na ko sa harap ng madaming tao kinakanta ko na lagi sa simula yung verse na yun.. kung napapanood nyo sa mga video  yung verse na yun kay GLOC-9 yun nung DEATH THREAT days nya pa. yun yung dahilan kaya kinakanta ko yun. nalaman nga ni kuya ARIS yun e. sabi daw nya kay SMUGGLAZ si mix kinakanta verse ko pinabilis nya hehe.. di ko lang masabi na yun yung dahilan lol.. maiba tayo ulit. ayun nung high school na pag walang teacher sa room nag rarap kami ng mga classmates ko at school mates ng mga verse na kabisado namin at dun ko napagtanto na ako lang nakakagawa ng mga verse ni gloc 9 malinaw ko nabibigkas. elibs sila lahat sakin.. hahaha dun ko natuklasan na may kakaiba kong dila jkgheuihjkcvndhwoevhjsdknvhu- TRIPLE TIME lol. tas nung 2nd year ako namatay yung kuya ko na mahilig sa RAP ipinagpatuloy ko lang yung pangarap nya kinarir ko na talaga. actually dancer yung kuya ko at rapper kaya nag dancer din ako nun pero mas minahal ko yung pag raRAP. kasi gusto ko din naman talaga..tapos madami ng RAPPER sa school namin mga kabarkada ng SALBAKUTA. ang titikas pumorma parang mga gangster sa america talaga tas pag dumarating sila nagbubulungan mga tao, uy mga rapper yan.parang ang cool pakinggan.. pero pag nadidinig ko sila mag rap napapaisip ako mas magaling pa kuya ko diyan mag rap e. (kung nabubuhay lang sya) tapos sa subjectl namin sa filipino pinapagawa kami ng tula e nadidinig ko sa mga rap lagi "ITONG TULA NA TO"  naisip ko may rhyme yung tula tuladng rap naisip ko na parehas lang siguro gumawa ng tula saka rap. ayun 100 ako lagi pag pinapagawa kami ng tula hahaha natatapos ko agad yung tula ng 5mins. tapos nagpapagawa na mga classmates ko sinisingil ko ng bente hanggang di ko namamalayan buong classmates ko na pala nagawan ko ng tula pasado lahat haha nakadagdag sa pambili ko ng AIR FORCE ONE uso kasi nun pag rapper ka naka ganung sapatos, CORTEZ saka K-SWISS. at ito pa, may teacher kami na makulit sa filipino pag nalate ka sa subject nya pagsasayawin ka o pag rarapin ka sa harap. ginagawa namin ng classmate ko si CHRISTIAN TATEL na mahilig din mag rap at pamankin ng GUIDANCE TEACHER ng school ay nagpapa- LATE talaga kami para makapag RAP haha hanggang 3rd year na kami pag may nag rarap sa 2nd year pinapatawag pa kami nung teacher namin sa filipino para lang labanan ng rap yung mga bago nyang estudyante haha kulit diba??  nagsimula din nun yung RAP-PUBLIC days nanonood ako lagi nun. kausuhan na ng mga RAP na may kanta sa koro. hanggang RAP-PUBLIC 2 sumali yung CRAZY AS PINOY daily pa lang to ah. nadinig ko silang tatlo PUCHA kakaiba. 

"UNANG BESES KO KINILABUTAN SA RAP" parang may kakaiba sa kanila. sinubaybayan ko sila hanggang finals at sila nga yung nag CHAMPION. tas nababalitaan ko na sumasali sila pag rap contest sa katabi naming brgy. tapos nag sulat na ko ng rap nun ang unang kanta na nasulat ko yung "HUDYAT SA KABATAAN" anti drugs na rap kasi kinanta namin yun una sa LIBRARY e  sinali ko sa song writing contest. tapos pyesta na samin. unang beses ko sasali sa rap contest kasama mga kagrupo ko na si TATEL (na classmate ko) at iba pang school mates namin (na kapitbahay ko) may cd ako nun ng live sa EAT BULAGA performance ng CRAZY AS PINOY lagi ko pinapakinggan yun, pampagana kasi kinikilabutan pa din ako kahit ilang beses ko pakinggan. bago umakyat ng stage pinapakinggan ko yun sa disc man ko para hyper ako pag akyat. pucha ang kumakanta bago kami ay yung GWAPITOS bata ng CRAZY AS PINOY na laging CHAMPION sa mga RAP CONTEST na finalist ng RAP-PUBLIC JUNIOR  inisip ko "ok lang yan may 2nd place pa naman e" at ito kami na yung kakanta (actually madami ko sinalihan ng gabi ng pyesta na yun dalawang dance contest at isang rap contest. kaya medyo pagod na ko bago yung rap contest)  after namin mag RAP sigawan mga tao iniisip ko yes rapper na talaga ko kasi nag RAP na ko sa stage e tas nagustuhan pa nila yung sarili kong RAP mismo. kaso ito ang matindi parang pelikula ang kasunod naming contestant ay ang mga idol ko.. "CRAZY AS PINOY" nawala na sa isip ko manalo basta mapanood ko sila ng harap-harapan hahaha. ayun kinanta nila yung PANAGINIP. 

champion GWAPITOS 2nd CRAZY AS PINOY 3rd yung mga dayo na wala daw pamasahe pauwi galing laguna. ok lang kahit di kami nanalo nakamayan ko naman sila. si ZAP pa yung naapiran ko ng matagal nun longhair pa si CRISPIN nun. kasi si BASSILYO may kasamang GF kaya nauuna lagi at si SISA kasama bf.. paglipas ng isang linggo  nabalitaan ko na may RAP CONTEST sa CONCEPCION MARIKINA na JUDGE ay CRAZY AS PINOY at isang taga EAT BULAGA. dumayo pa talaga ko nun kasama yung isa kong kagrupo nakita ko na naman CRAZY AS PINOY nun. late kami last contestant kami nun pero nanalo kami ng 3rd place nun. bigay todo ko sa pag raRAP nun. hanggang nung pauwi lumapit sakin si ZAP aka CRISPIN sabi ito MICROPHONE MASTER to. may potensyal ka. tas mga ilang araw sa tambayan sa CUBAO may pumuntang tropa namin na kakilala ng CRAZY AS PINOY pinapahanap daw ako ni kuya Deyb aka BASSILYO may potensyal daw ako isasali daw nya ko sa EAT BULAGA. dun ako naging CRAZY FAMILY. alam nyo na kung bakit kumukuha ko ng mga rapper na gustong matuto at mga baguhan na gusto mag rap? kasi ganun din ako dati ipinapasa ko lang bilang ganti sa pag tulong sakin ng CRAZY FAMILY ayun malawak na kami ngayon. at sana maipasa din nila sa iba...   tingin ko sa tagal ng paglalakbay ko sa HIP-HOP ang mga tunay ang di magsasawa at habang buhay na magmamahal dito...

WHERE ARE THEY NOW: Where is SYKE by Asha

Isa sa mga hinahangan kong artist si sir SYKE dahil narin siguro sa kakaiba nyang

tunog, sa kakaibang delivery at style, minsan sa kasagsagan ng hiphop

maiisip mo na parang nawala sya, parang hindi actibo,

asan nga ba sya? anong pinagkakaabalahan nya?

Lady PHS Asha manage to interview sir SYKE

ano nga bang napag-usapan nilang dalawa? read the interview below:

Asha: Why do you chose your ALIAS? What does it mean?

SYKE: Galing sa pangalan kong Isowai Todake. parang spelling. s-y-to-the-ke. syke.

seriously, during my high school days, we were called by our last name. my real name is mykl syco, so my classmates called me syke.

Asha: Best Describe you? In one word?

SYKE: Syke.

Asha: When and How did you get started with Hip-Hop?

SYKE: Nasa grade 5 ako nung pinabasa ako ng tula ng aking guro. binabasa kong parang kantang give peace a chance ng the beatles. sabi niya, break it down. sabi ko, peace out.

Asha: Do you think this genre will last or will people get tired of it?

SYKE: Nagbabago ang tugtugan from time to time. ang napapagod at umaalis, naiinitan sa kusina.

Asha: Who were your Music influences?

SYKE: Buklod.

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

SYKE: Mastaplann. death threat. legit misfitz. 4 east flava. h-bom. svc.

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

SYKE: i am their dream collaboration.

Asha: Since there are so many great Street Hip Hoppers, what determines who gets to the top?

SYKE: Getting out from the underground scene will get you to the top. maraming gustong sumikat pero ugaling underground, kaya pag sinubukang mag mainstream, tunog sell out. gumawa ng kantang naaayon sa pinaglalaban mo pero maayos naman na alam mong magugustuhan ng karamihan. 

Asha: How can you become a Famous Rapper?

SYKE: Eat well. sleep well. stay healthy. para kahit hindi maging famous, busog at malusog.

but seriously, you don't need to be sikat. you just need to be significant.

Asha: How do you separate yourself from other artists?

SYKE: uhm… i'll stay away from them.

Asha: Any Plans of Coming back?

SYKE: I'm never gone.

"akala mo nawala kaya parang nagbalik." tanyag. loonie. unltrasound.

Asha: Any Future related Hip-Hop Projects?

SYKE: Gumagawa ako ng riprap para ma-absorb ang impact ng mga hiphop na weak/wack.

Asha: Future Plans?

SYKE: "Hayaan na natin ang bukas." tama ka. eraserheads. natin99.

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

SYKE: I make music videos for some friends.

Asha: Whats the difference of this generation's Music genre compared to your generation before?

SYKE: Dati, amboy lang ang rappers. ilan lang ang nagtatagalog. ngayon, lahat na may facebook.

Asha: So, what are your thoughts on the current state of the game?

SYKE: Naging malawak ang palaruan. maraming manlalaro. 

Asha: What will they (Your Fans/ Supporter) expect from you?

SYKE: Always expect the unexpected.

Asha: This year?

SYKE: Maraming mas mahalagang bagay na kailangang pagtuunan ng pansin. next year na. busy pa.

Brief or Boxers? naked.

Coffee or Beer? water.

SO RANDOM INTERVIEW: with Mark Dexter Lau

* so again SO RANDOM interview with professionals, outside the hip hop world.
  we can't ignore them, as one day we might do business with them. Im always interested
  to models and photographers, so learn with me guys.  And i hope to not explain featuring 
  non hip hop related personalities in the future. READ. LEARN. and ENJOY

PHS: what your current profession sir?

Mark Dexter Lau: Im still a student. On my last term na, as intern sa BMLab. At the same time freelance artist din ako bilang vfx artist, cinematographer, sa freetime ko gumagawa ako ng mga fine art portraits

PHS: That means alot, ... fine art portrait? what do you mean by that?
what does vfx artist do? is this stands for visual effects?
and what course did you take?

Mark Dexter Lau: Fine art portrait. photography din sya pero difference is there is manipulation in the photograph, can be in the set or in editing.
sample

yup vfx is visual effects some of my works https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xy0Pm-Gz7vA
im taking up multimedia arts in asia pacific college

PHS:  Whoaaaaa... asia pacific college... salute...Whats inspires you to take multi media arts?

Mark Dexter Lau: At first tinake ko multimedia arts dahil trip ko. sa ngayon, di ko sure kung magkacount sya as inspiration, pero masaya lang ako sa ginagawa ko eh.

PHS:  So this is like photography, photo and video editing,... do you guys still do manual drawings,
i mean the traditional art?

Mark Dexter Lau: Weakness ko yon. actually yun yung naging problem ko sa multimedia arts. pinasok ko sya ng di ko alam na sobrang laking bagay pala non,eh di ako marunong magdrawing. pero yes, kasama din sa multimedia art majors yun

PHS: So that means na may mga tradtional art din pla sa multi media art, to be honest with you im a fine art student myself. but fine arts and multi media although almost the same are different as well.
ano ang pinaka forte mo?

Mark Dexter Lau: Pinakaforte ko eh cinematography, and video editing.
di ko parin sure kung anong malaking pinagkaiba ng fine arts sa traditional artists

PHS: So minimal photography?
Mark Dexter Lau: Sa output lang siguro kung sa photography nasa stage pa ako ng puro experiment, alam ko na kaya ko pumantay don sa ibang professionals, pero problem ko eh di ko pa talaga alam kung anong klase ng photography ang gusto ko.

PHS: I see, but miss jozza recommended you to me as a photographer.

Mark Dexter Lau: I can do photography naman. same lang din sya sa cinematography, difference eh hindi moving ang subject sa photography

PHS: do you have sample of your works in photography?

Mark Dexter Lau: (links given)

PHS: Do you have any certain style to what you do?

Mark Dexter Lau: Wala pa naman akong specific style pa sa ngayon kung sa photography, pag nagffreestyle editing ako madalas napapansin ko eh karamihan ng output na nagagawa ko eh dark or yung may nostalgic na feel

PHS: I see that's nice and that's a style indeed, Meron ka bang mai papayo to people who wanna try multimedia arts?

Mark Dexter Lau: Siguro. dont focus on everything. multimedia arts eh napakalawak. may 3d, 2d, photography, traditional, film, game, web, graphics at marami pa. mas magandang magfocus ka muna sa bagay na tingin mong magaling ka at kung san ka nag eenjoy. sa sarili ko kasing opinyon ang mahirap sa art eh pag mas pinipilit mo lalong pumapanget.

PHS: Tama, i have this friend who told me "you can't rush art" is there's any site that we can check about you? i mean your works, and art? so we can promote it as well?

Mark Dexter Lau: I have a vimeo and youtube account where I post my personal works, pero wala pa akong sariling site or facebook page, I am planning to make one soon.

PHS: So The only way they can look about you is your fb account?
