Eddie Kane
24: What made you want to get into music? Eddie Kane: I love it, always have since the old boy use to wake me up on Saturdays bumping Frankie Beverly and Maze loud as hell. I used to sit in front of the TV watching MTV raps writing down 2Pac's lyrics and rapping it myself. Niggas at school use to think it was mine, that's when the light bulb went on like, shit I can do this and what's a better career than doing something you enjoy and love. 24: What do you think it is that separates you from another artist? Eddie Kane: My delivery, my wordplay, my versatility and they way I jump into the beat like one of the instruments. I'm not following patterns, I'm doing me, my way, no tight shirts and chains on my jeans homey that shit don't excite me. 24: These day's everyone seems to have a record label, rap or sing, so if I was a label A&R why would I sign you instead of the next artist, what else do you bring to the table than let's say some hot punch lines? Eddie Kane: That's a good one. I would have to say my work ethic and the way that I can come up with songs, not just hot punch lines, but actually bangers. They aren't too many niggas writing 6 to 7 verses for one song, ya dig. 24: Tell me some of the projects you have been working on lately and who are some of the producers and artists you have been working with? Eddie Kane: As of right now everything is home team like The Bottom Boys, my nigga Murph , Prime Legend and Webbz. We got a small circle. As far as the beats go I'm working with Alion (Hall-Of-Fame's in-house producer), CKP out of the Atlanta, and C-mal. 24: What label right now do you think would best fit your style and complement what you do best? Eddie Kane: Right now I'm strictly on that Hall-of-Fame Entertainment shit. We're looking for some distribution. Def Jam, holla at us! 24: Since Miami seems to have the music industry's eye right now, after the success of producers Cool & Dre and Rick Ross. DJ Khaled's last 2 albums reaching #1 as independents as well as Brisco, Flo Rida and C-Ride being signed to major labels, why is it still hard for up-and-coming artist? Eddie Kane: I think it's just how niggas is out here. If they don't know you, they ain't fucking with u unless somebody from they're camp know you and vice versa. We not Atlanta, we're not Houston. We move solo, it's fucked up but that's just they way it is but I promise to change it when I get on though. 24: What type of beats to you like to get from producers, do you look for a certain sound or vibe? Eddie Kane: It's whatever with me and not too many beats I rap on sound the same long as it got enough space for 3 verses and the hook and a nice little vibe I'm on it. 24: How do you write your songs because I know some artist start with the hook and some start with the verse? Eddie Kane: Man, It depends on how I'm feeling. They are days when I start with the hook first, then the verse or the other way around. As long as the song comes out correctly, it doesn't really matter.
Eddie Kane: Only a selected few like Outkast, T.I. and Rick Ross other then that, I'm seeing what Pac was talking bout and listening to my Jay-Z vol. 1 24: Anything the fans should stay tuned for or look out for
from you? Eddie Kane: Look out for me, about to change this game and make niggas appreciate the south. Look out for me to take niggas from my city under my wing and do it how it's supposed to be done, straight up. If u don't got the "Making a Way" mixtape u need to get it check your local flea markets, corner stores or my myspace page WWW.MYSPACE.COM/EKANEMUSIC. 24: Any last words you want to say to the people reading this interview? Eddie Kane: To all the people supporting me in the street, bet dat up. I'm the future man get wit it. For all the haters you already know, die slow and look out for Southern Gospel sometime in December it's bananas!!!
