Sony B

After meeting Sony B, we realized there are still young, smart focused rappers out there. As a full time college student at Indiana University of Pennsylvania, he incorporates the new knowledge he gets everyday with his music. He expressed to us some of the in's and out's of his interest in music, from why he started, to why he loves it. Sony B: "I have to say my biggest Influence was my uncle.  He always surrounded me with music and songs of his own as a youngin, and teaching me minor techniques or skills I incorporate till this day." I have been on about 25 songs, and mixtapes one, with my partner in crime Slynk (Bestfriend/Rapper). Though if it means anything...I got tooooooo many offers to recall haha. My biggest fear is not being understood, or losing myself. As an artist I feel its only right for me to appeal to those around me, though i dislike the feeling of having to "Dumb Down" my raps because it seems like they just don't understand (or want to) when REAL lyrics are being spoken. Often I was related to as a Jay-Z, then Lupe, then kanye. But now I'm getting hit with the J.Cole title...I'm koo wit dat... But we'll see if I can maybe  just make a lane for myself!
I knew i wanted to be a rapper since 7th grade. 6yrs later- I think its about time everyone sees why.. I often just listen to songs that fit the scenario. Or I just bang out to an instrumental until i make my own. In '09 mom dukes just had me a lil sis, so thats CRAZYYY motivation to make something happen. *ShoutOut 2 Alisha & Chrisette Yates*, I was always told I had/have a way with words so i enjoyed that. And I really wouldn't mind that rap star life haha.

ShoutOut 2 my bro Slynk too...You'll hear of him shortly!

HH Spady

With just a few questions we were able to explore and learn how focused, determined and serious HH Spady is about his craft. Starting with a question as simple as “Why did you want to be a rapper?” took us further into the life and thoughts of this extraordinary rapper then we expected. Spady:” My biggest influence is my way of life. I don’t have the best life, and that motivates me to want to do better and not continue to be in the same position my whole life. With that said my biggest fear is dying before I accomplish my goal of being one of the world’s greatest or more successful hip hop music artists”.

Those quote’s are just the beginning of the influences on HH Spady’s life and music. “My life changed when that guy didn't pull the trigger when he had a gun to my head. Now I maintain my sanity through my struggles and experiences by reminding myself daily that its always someone out there doing worst then me. As long as god gives me another day, I use it as another chance to try to succeed in life”. HH Spady now use’s music as his way of becoming successful. “I knew I wanted to rap when I was in the 10th grade.                              

I’m not sure why I wanted to rap but one day I told my homies at school that I was going to be a rapper but I was joking. Since that day I never stopped rapping, only because they didn't take me serious. I realized rap was for me when I first stepped on stage Dec. 2009 at a dj P.Cutta event. That was a very successful performance even though I had the slightest idea of what I was doing or getting myself into. I believe that I relate most to rappers such Eminem and Tupac because their music gives me inspiration. I also idolize these artist, and I am often compared to them through my music.   Now I just work hard, and I have been featured on about 25 different artist tracks and nearly 60 different mixtapes in the past year”. HH Spady has a lot of meaning behind the reason why he strives so hard for success.  Since we have known HH Spady (high school) he has always been a very creative strong minded person and it’s great to see him apply that gift with music. He proves his creativity and talent with music on his solo mix tape “No Breaks” and on about 25 other mix tapes that he features on. As you see, HH Spady is chasing his success with no breaks or signs of slowing down.
