DWEN: I’m Dwen

24HHH: Before we get into your music, can you describe your history about how you got into and what inspired you?

DWEN: Yeah. I started writing poetry lyrics at the age of 16. Growing up, I use to stay in trouble. So “Writing”… for me, really was the main thing that use keep me out of trouble.. sometimes! But I didn’t become “motivated” I would say, to start rapping until I witness.. a Freestyle battle. That was the first introduction for me.

24HHH: What was the hip hop scene like for you growing up where your from?

DWEN: The Hip hop scene back then while I was growing up for me… was epic. I didn’t know then.. but I know now. It was epic.Some of the Great Eras’ I had the chance to experience.. Tupac, Bones Thugs ‘N’ Harmony, Biggie, J.T Money , Uncle Luc , Trick Daddy, Master P, Snoop Dogg, Dr.Dre, Scareface, Outkast, Nate Dogg, Warren G,Lunies. And you probably won’t even be find any n**** where I’m from.. that grew up in the same time as i did… To say that they never vibe to at least one of those Artists.

24HHH: What makes you Unique as a artist and different from other rappers out now?

DWEN: Well to be honest.. I really don’t focus much on the other rappers that’s out now… Not even enough to do a compare and contrast. But I Am tune in. And what makes me unique as an Artist. there’s only one of me. My experience, environment, everyday life style.. 100% Me. Passionate!

24HHH: In todays free download age, what do you need to do to make your self a household name?

DWEN: Determination, never settling, just being consistent.

24HHH: How do you feel about the current state of the hiphop scene?

DWEN: One phase “Time for A Change”. We need more music with substances. Music that’s more meaningful…Music where most people can relate too.. Not just talking about money , cars and hoes but the everyday real life situations.. And, I am truly a firm believer in: just because you’re from a certain place doesn’t mean you should limit yourself just to that place. The world is big And beyond that. A “trend” is not a “trend” until someone sets it.

24HHH: Outside of the music what else are you currently working on?

DWEN: To be honest… All I do and everything I do.. Is music. Other than that, I’m just trying to keep my head above the water.

24HHH: Where do you see yourself going in 2014 and how do you plan to separate yourself from the other artist out today to get the recognition you feel you deserve?

DWEN: I try not to think about the future much..But really try to stay in the moment. if I keep doing what I have been doing…Then the next year and so fourth on will be always be a bigger look for me. Not saying that I might not have roadblocks and detours..But it’s evasive maneuver, adapt and adjust.. moving forward always gotta be the movement. I’m gonna keep doing my thing in my own lane..foot is glue to the gas pedal..100 on the dashboard.
