24:
Introduce yourself to everyone?
Trel Mack: Yeah, what’s the deal this your boy Trel Mack the next up and coming
artist representing Philadelphia, Pa and you know the kid makes the music for
the fly honeys in the world. I’m just that hot hip hop artist about to bring
Philly back.
24: What are some of the projects you have been working on lately?
Trel
Mack: Right now there are a few things I’m working on this year to grab the
people’s attention. As of right now I am working on my new promotional album
called “Mack Of The Year” which will have about 10-12 songs featuring a few
artist from Philly, Shawn Archer, Ricardo Bailey who is on my hit single “Be Ya
Man” for the beautiful ladies out there, Crystyle from London who did her thing
with me on the “Autograph” track and big shout out to her for reaching out to
me all the way from London to be part of what I have to offer to the world.
Basically the promotional album “Mack of the Year” is to show people what I
have to offer as an artist. I’m not the hardcore type of rapper that the
streets look for; I’m more of a mainstream individual when it comes to my
music. I want a variety of people to be able to listen to my music and say,
“He’s hot, and I love his swagger and his approach to the music industry”. I
think the “Mack of The Year” will show my personality and I know the people are
going to feel it and not only that it’s free. Everyone will gets a free copy of “Mack of the Year” and
also I’m working on this mixtape with Quinton Hatfield AKA “Q the Question”
titled “So What’s the Answer” which is going to have a few of my latest songs
and also some nice music from your favorite artist in the game. That will be
something the world should want to look in to and it’s coming soon. I also was
featured on two mixtapes overseas in which one of them got over 15,000
downloads online, so as you can see I’ve been moving just trying to be apart of
as much things as possible and trust me it’s a lot more to come.
24: What makes Trel Mack different from any other new artist trying to get into
the game?
Trel
Mack: I just do me and talk about what I know and present Trel Mack to the
music world. I just try my best to set myself aside from everyone else by doing
different things that the average artist wouldn’t think of so I’m always
thinking. I’m thinking of ways to be different not only in my music, but on how
the way I do things, the way I treat people, how I handle my business and how I
reach a goal without taking unnecessary paths. I’m going to change the game and
make people notice it so I’m molding myself to be different in all ways
possible and not only the music side of things. That’s what a lot of artist
need to do, they need to check themselves and really dig deep within their
hearts to bring what they have that no one else had and for a lot of
underground artist trying to come up I’ve been able set myself aside them as
far as being different. I’m talking to all of them that are not handling their
business and I’m just focused.
24: Tell me which artist inspires you?
Trel
Mack: Music as a whole inspires me, everybody who is doing their thing and
doing it right inspires me. Other artist mistakes and accomplishments inspire
me and that’s for everybody, but I have plenty of people I look up to. I like
Jay-Z’s success he is my role model, everything that he does within his music
and his business is amazing. I think every Black man should respect him for
what he was and what he had become. Hip-hop legends like LL Cool J, 2pac,
Biggie, Big Daddy Kane, Slick Rick, and EPMD also inspires me. There are a lot
more and it’s so many to name, but if your hot you know who you are.
24: If you had to choose one song to represent which would it be and why?
Trel Mack: If I had to choose one song to represent I would pick “Be Ya Man”. I
chose that song because its for the ladies and all the ladies love that song,
I’ve been getting great responses from that song and I think the world will
love it. Most of these dudes have girlfriends and their girlfriends are going
to want to listen to it and their going to get mad [laughs] so either way there
going to hear me. I love making music for the ladies and I think it’s only
right for me to choose that style. Every girl will think I’m talking bout them
and that’s what makes “Be Ya Man” so special.
24: If you could choose any major label to be on, which label would you choose
and why?
Trel Mack: STREET KNOWLEDGE ENTERTAINMENT, which I’m already on. Not only that,
I’m co-owner of the label. Right now I’m not really chasing any major deal,
because I know the pros and cons of being with a major label. It doesn’t look
to appealing to me right now so I’m just doing the independent thing with my
homey Quinton Hatfield who is also co-owner of the label. Big shout out to him
for holding it down for SKE. I just feel you need a strategy for this music
industry, like my partner Q he is the publicist, a true net worker for the
label, not only that a journalist and a manager. Me I’m the hot artist and also
the net worker for label, we can do half of these things a major label can do
without money. It’s all about your communication and observing skills, you got
to see what’s moving and how it’s moving in this industry. If ya’ll labels not trying to give us a deal
on our terms we don’t need it, nobody else count but SKE.
