THE INTERVIEW
1. What song or moment in time sparked your passion for music?
Stephen King: Creepin on ah Come Up
Reinman: Outkast/2Severe
Mallachi: First time hearing Thuggish Ruggish Bone/Reinman
Brothers 2severe helped mold Reinman & Reinman helped mold the youngest Mallachi.
2. If you had to create a Mount Rushmore of inspiration, what four individuals molded the artist you are today?
Bone Thugs N Harmony, Three 6 Mafia, Tech N9ne, 2Severe
2Severe is part of Bloodlin3's Mount Rushmore because without him, Reinman & Mallachi, probably wouldn't start taking this art seriously.
3. How does your creative process work from the moment you develop the idea to the completion of the record?
2Severe: I always start how I want to end a line first.
Reinman: If I don't have an idea, I listen to people around me in conversation to spark an idea. If an idea is already there, I just listen to the beat until something come into my head.
Mallachi: I tend to hum or harmonize a style first and then add words to fit the style I just came up with.
4. As for this release, who is the producer and what about the production moved you?
The Producer is Wyshmaster, we loved the dark opera chants especially but overall the whole beat is fire.
5. When it comes to the songwriting on this record, what is the message you want to get across to your listeners?
Don't give up...don't let anyone say you "can't.”
