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.

24: Tell me some artists, signed or unsigned, in the game
that gives you inspiration to come up with your best songs?      

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!!!
