The Dirty South
has always been a breeding ground for up and coming artists’ making it huge in
the mainstream. Industry execs know that talent in the south is emerging every
minute, giving full evidence that Hip-Hop
will never die. With an array of artists developing new genres, delivering
different messages, and basically getting the attention of the streets, it is
only a matter time when their name starts circulating across cities. Deep
within the heart of Miami, three
young artists are getting that attention, circulating that flare; K-Parn, SpotLyte, and Fee
comprise the group simply known as one esteemed name, I introduce you to the
boys of Mazzarati. Let me step back
and let these three boys bring the noise.

I caught up with Mazzarati at Boss Studios in the outskirts of North Miami
where 24hourhiphop.com got a chance
to interview the name that’s been echoing through the hoods. This an exclusive
interview that you will only see here.

 

24: First off,
how’s everything with ya’ll boys? 

K-Parn:  We
good, trying to get shit poppin with this music.

Fee: Chillin’ like ice, you know how we do. Like my nigga,
Gorilla Zoe said, we just trying to make a joog.

SpotLyte: Shit, I’m just chillin’, you know vibin’,
leaning off of that Remy Martin VSOP

24: What inspired
you to get into the music industry?

K-Parn: I mean
the talent that I have, as well as the talent that I’m surrounded by I want the
world to know and hear what we got.

Fee: You know, we’ve
just been blessed with the talent to make good music, so we’re doing this for
the world to hear.

SpotLyte: Well,
I’ve always love music ever since I can remember I been singing songs and
banging on walls, tapping desks, but when I first heard Trick (Daddy) say, You don’t know nan nigga, I just wanted to have
my song jam like that.                                                                            

24: As a child
growing up, we all have role models and rappers that we listen, name some of
yours?

K-Parn: Oh man,
let’s see, Mystikal, Trick Daddy, Cash Money, Timbaland, I
got some old school in me too, The O’Jays,
Otis Redding, Sam Cooke, and Earth, Wind,
and Fire. You know I gotta jam that old school as well.

Fee: You
already know, Jay-Z, my
nigga, Snoop Dogg, the No Limit Soldiers, everybody was a
soldier, and of course them Cash Money
Hot Boys and all them Hip-Hop
Pioneers, I grew up on them boys right there.

24: Describe the
history behind Mazzarati and how all
of this came together.

K-Parn: It
basically started in middle school me and Fee teamed up, I was doing the beats
and he was doing the rapping. Shortly after that, we picked up SpotLyte and it
was on and popping. 3 to 4 years down the line we formed a group called
Mazzarati. It was a fourth member, but we not gone get into dat. This is where
we are right now.

Fee: I came up with the name and at the time I going to use
it for my mixtape, But K-Parn was like, “Man,
that’s exactly what we are, Fly Flashy Ass Niggas, hand me a wet nap (Laughs).So we kept it and this is who we are Mazzarati.

SpotLyfe: Well for me, at first it was Uncle Luke, he put Dade
on the map and you know Trick set the city on fire and when cash money and No
Limit came out it changed the way these people hustle, shit was real.

24: What do you
plan on bringing to the game that sets you apart from other rap artists trying
to make it in the game?

K-Parn: Good
music, fun music, vibe music, that stick n roll music with a bottle of
Zephyrhills! (Laughs) if you know
what mean. That gangsta music don’t work for everybody, besides just cause I’ll
bus a nigga in his shit, personally don’t mean I’m gonna rap about it. I’m in
it to win it, I’m going where the cash at. Fuck the critics. That’s how I see
it.

Fee: Brand new shit! 
Creativity, nowadays it’s just something you gotta have. I feel like my
nigga Juelz (Santana), Mazzarati is
what the game’s been missin’.

SpotLyte: I do what I know
how to and that’s make good music, that’s it.

24: What
producers are you working with now and what style of music do you plan on
hitting them with?

K-Parn: Well
right now, we only working with the super producer, K-Parn, that’s me. That’s
right, I do it all, besides I’m in the group, so only I know the vibe and
direction we’re trying to get at. The rest we’ll worry about later.

Fee: So far, like
K-Parn said, him, and oh yeah, Hitmann,
MO-X, and S-R, but you can check back on that later.

SpotLyte: That’s
real.

24: Plug the
songs that you got rotating out there right now and explain the message you are
trying to deliver.

K-Parn: Drink, smoke, fuck hoes, and just have fun, that’s the
message we delivering! Life is already crazy as it is. Shit fucked up out here,
niggas dying and getting locked up for nothing! There’s niggas I know that’s
locked up for straight bullshit.

Fee:  Right now, we got the Oodle Noodlez track in
heavy rotation, the hottest dance song on the planet, check it out.

SpotLyfe: Just like K-Parn said, but it’s like real life
music, something that everybody will listen to, you feel me.

24:
How is the mixtape game going and when do we get
to see an album grace the world?

K-Parn: The mixtape scene looking real good for us. We got
one out with DJ J called More than a Movement Vol.3 and three in
the making. The 2nd mixtape is gonna be a classic it’s gonna be with DJ Smallz, you know that southern smoke
shit. But on the album tip, we should have that out by Fall of 2008.

Fee: Stay tuned, Mazzarati stay at it steady, so just keep
