I always had my share of discovering multiple instruments all my life. Drums since 7 years’ old played guitar and bass. I really spent most of my life not listening to much hip hop. Mostly here and there. I was doing cover substituting on drums for a few bands but had plans to make music on the inside around 2014 of producing beats and making some sort of hip hop style of my own. I wanted something new.

I’m too underground because I am different.

Jay Prophet: I started with them back in 2015 took a break to deal with family loss and came back 2 years later.

Tell us something about The Wormed Out tour last spring?

Jay Prophet: It was short fast. We did it in one week only had 1 day off. Every show I saw each of us improve as stage performance and lyrically and vocally. It wasn’t much of big crowds at these shows but Mass had a decent crowd and we kicked so much ass. To me it’s beyond words can describe.

What would you consider a successful, proud or significant point in your career so far?

Jay Prophet: summer mid-July of 2018 I had the chance to perform at a warped Tour event in Mass at xFinity center. I performed on the Transform stage and the crowd was so big it was breath taking. The crowd digged it and rocked out. Even at the end of my songs because it was about 101 degrees outside, I would see the people in the crowd stop and sweating and the feeling of the hot breeze of moving bodies pause as I felt the cool air from the sudden stop. That feeling was so strange and I never thought that was a thing. When it comes to over 5 thousand people and such a hot day it was looked difficult to bare out in a crowd. I only had a 15 minute set. I gave it so much of my all that after my set I threw up because of stretching my vocals from screams the weather really got to me and I was glad it was over but it was the still a huge success.

Have you had success at your Garage shows thrown at your house?

Jay Prophet: Yup 2 of them.

In general, do you consider Internet and all the social media platforms as fundamental in building a career in music today, and what is your personal relationship with the new technology at hand?
