24: For those that may not know you, introduce yourself and let them how long you have doing music?

Rich Hil: What's good, the name is Rich Hil. I have been doing music for about 6 years now. I have always been apart of music growing up but never though about being an artist. I started out as a fan of music with many influences. Then I started recording myself and at first it was really wack but I kept working and found my sound. Spending 18-hour sessions in the studio making 4 songs a day, doing mixtapes.

24: I really want to know who are some of your musical influences because you sound is like no one I have heard in a while?

Rich Hil: Jimmy Hendrix, if you get in my car that's what I'm playing to chilling in the crib Jimmy Hendrix.

24: Was creating your own lane and making a fan base come to you compared to catering to a certain fan base what you're doing with your project?

Rich Hil: Yeah, because so many follow instead of just making a lane and Alica Keys, Kanye West, Robin Thicke, John Legend, and Amy Winehouse shows everyone that you don't have to sound like anyone.

24: How long have you been with "Make You Famous" and how did that situation come about?

Rich Hil: I was in a rap group before I became an solo artist and Sickamore who is an A&R heard my music and he saw my work ethic and wanted to work with me even though my group did not get a deal with Atlantic Records.

24: I know that you are signed to Full Surface so how has that been so far?

Rich Hil: It was a perfect fit for me because Swizz lets me do my thing and he's young even though he has been in the game for so long, he knows what he can bring out of an artist such as myself. I could not have signed to a better situation.

24: I recently saw your chain which is the Phantom grill, who came up with that and how much did that piece run you?

Rich Hil: Yeah, I was just trying to get something different done but I'm not even on the chain thing right now, it seems like everyone in the game has one.

24: Has being the son of world famous clothing designer Tommy Hilfiger make some people ever doubted you and your music?

Rich Hil: I would say at first but when they let the music speak for itself everything else goes out the window. In life you will always have some people who doubt you but you just work hard and follow your dream.

24: How can someone hear more of your music or get in contact with you for future collaborations?

Rich Hil: Message me on my myspace page and I'll get back to you ASAP www.myspace.com/Richhil.
