24: How did you find your way to Florida?

730:
My parents are from New York originally and my grandparents, I spent
most of my life with my grandparents and they came to Florida, cause it
was too cold up North.

24: So now you live in Ft. Lauderdale?

730: Yeah.

Automotive, so I’m doing that right now, besides the music thing.

24: Your name is 730?

24: How did you get that name?

730: My moms she would be like, “Boy, you crazy,” and since she’s a nurse, 730 was the hospital code for crazy.

24: Ok that’s cool alright then, what song do you have out right now?

730:
Right, I have a single that I’m pushing called “Money is the Motive.”
The beat was made by a childhood friend of mine and he just started
making beats, but when I heard it I was like that could be a hit, he
didn’t think so, but I was like got nothing, might as well give it a
shot and put it on the underground station and people liked it in
Broward.

24: How did you come up with the lyrics to that song ?

730:
Just being dumb like, “money is the motive,” it’s a recession everybody
need money I just tried to make something everybody could relate to.

24:Where can people can find that song?

730:
Right now, I got the mp3 for it. Go to youtube.com and from there on
hopefully get on the radio and people can hear it when they turn on
their radio

24: How long have you been rapping for?

730:
On and off since early teenager like me and my friends and we just hear
a record sing it and make our own version that’s how it really started,
but later on it progressed. We just try to make our own sound and it
kinda took off. from there. So since I was 15, I’m 19 now. So since like
14,15.

24: Are you dating anybody or is there anybody out there who thinks 730 is their own?

730: Not at the moment, I’m a single guy at the moment.

24: Out of all the girls in this business who do you think is the hottest girl that you would take home tonight?

730: I like home team, my favorite is Trina.

24: How do you feel about record labels and their future in this business?

730:
It’s like two sided you know. I don’t know, I like what the majors do,
but sometimes it’s always controversy they don’t let you be yourself.
Then you got the independent who always want you to be yourself, I mean
at the end of the day just trust your instincts and know that who ever
you deal with, make sure they in it for your best interests cause I hear
a lot of people on records saying that this deal  fucked me over, so at
the end of the day you do it cause its what you love but you got to
protect yourself cause you don’t want to be in the long run owing
anybody or being a has been. You want to be that person that’s always
rememberedc like KRS-ONE and them, their names always come up. I
remember them, you don’t hear people saying like he’s a has been nobody
cares about him and things like that.

24:
With that being said what do you think about the internet and how it
affect the ability to earn income from your music with people stealing
music?

730: Stealing
music is kinda like if you don’t copyright, you got to copyright, but as
far the internet goes it’s definitely a good thing, cause some people
may not want to come to your shows but they still listen to you, put you
on their iPod and the iPod is like for some people depends on where you
live cause like some people drive all the time so if  they don’t have
your CD, they can always plug it into their iPod. So the internet can
def be a good thing, iTunes things like that

24: Who influenced you?

730:
I listen to all kind of rap. Going to see my father in the summer, he
grew up in New York, so in the 80’s. I use to listen to a lot of Nice
& Smooth, KRS-One, then like down from there Hot Boys, Lil Boosie. I
like to listen to everything I’m not just rap, I listen to R&B,
Reggae, whatever.

24: What separates you from other artists?

730:
I don’t wanna be cocky or arrogant that’s just not me, but I say what
separates me is that I try new things if it a reggae artist and he say
he like me then we can work pop. I just don’t want to do one genre,  I
want to expand, I wanna catch the attention of everybody no matter what
genre you are, I’m here for it.

24: Who would you say you would like to work with in the future like would as far as production?

730:
Production, I like Drake, Swiss Beatz, Timbaland, and whoever producer
here I’ll like to work them too. Definitely a good look.

24: Tell your fans something about you that they don’t know?

730:

don’t know, just hit me up and we can take it from there. Whatever you
want to know, we can play mini-interview too.
