Exclusive Interview with Tae Harlem - Im Back !

Before he relocated, this artist started a whirlwind of trouble! An artist well known for telling it exactly how it was, or how he felt things were. Tae Harlem made a name for himself by continuously dropping hot track after track but kept the heat blazin when name dropping on other artists in the city during freestyles. Since then Harlem has returned to the city and has seemingly made an effort to tone it down a little. To read more about what Tae is working on and recap on some of the nitty gritty from his past, Check out the exclusive interview he did while sitting down with us at CatchingTheBee !

Q:  How Does it feel to be back in YOUR city?

A: It feels great!! I’m enjoying working with a lot of local artist. I wasn’t able to do that before because I was into it with just about everybody lol  I have some dope features from local artists like Young Shank, Ray Jr, Arod, Shuicide Holla and Tezzo Tezzo. It feels good to be collabing with new people.

Q: Tell me about the project you are currently working on?

A: My solo project Gxld Cxka hosted by Dj Ace and Dj Logikal will be released on 11/21/13. I’m also working on a group project with my brother Bam Bandz called Cxka Gang which will drop early 2014. Also my single Lil nigga don’t trip ft. Young Shank will be out 10/10/13, so be on the lookout for all of that!

Q:  What can we all expect from your new projects?

A: The whole Gxld Cxka thing is something that’s different for Cleveland. This is for people who love REAL hip hop. It’s just a new style; I even played with my voice and the auto tune a little bit lol I feel like people are really gonna like it. Cxka Gang will basically just consist of Club music, the bangers!

Q: People often look at you as a problem starter bc of your diss tracks, what would you want to tell people on the outside about your motives?

A: I never have a motive lol honestly I don’t feel like I ever provoke the beef but I do finish it. It’s all about giving people wants. The city wants to hear my response to certain things so I speak on it! That’s what people want.

Q: The most recent encounters were the diss tracks dropped against SnoopySymone, CircleSide and Dj StephFloss, would you have anything to say to any of the individuals involved if they were tuned in to the interview right now?

A: I do not have any issue with any of them. The beef is completely squashed! As far as StephFoss I just feel like his opinion is biased and I wish it wasn’t. He has the power to break barriers and I don’t feel like he uses that power to put out some of the talent that is being overlooked. He’s a dope dj though I even follow him on twitter now lol. I have no problem with CircleSide or SnoopySymone at the end of the day diss tracks are a part of hip hop it’s all about competition.

Q: What mainstream artist do you think dropped an ill diss track?

A: I would have to say Nas when he dropped Ether. I listen to it back and forth it motivates me. You have to research these people, dig up dirt on these people for a diss to be interesting.

Q:What message do you want to give to your fans?

A: IM BACK!! It’s my turn, I did a lot of bullshit but I’m back and I’m ready to put on for my city. It’s no stopping me now IM BACK

Q: What do we have to look forward to from Tae Harlem?

A: More collabs! I have some industry collabs I’m working on but I won’t speak on that too much. I have an interview with Joey Millz of Source magazine in November so keep an eye out for that.

Q: Do you have any Shoutouts you want to give?

A: I gotta thank Ray Jr. and all of Legit Paper, My management Lano and TO. Also big shoutout to BigHeff he has been looking out for me. All the artists in the city, the blogs, my supporters because without my fans none of this would be possible and Shoutout to CatchingTheBee of course!

Exclusive Interview - #LockedBehindGBars

In 2009 after mastering the creativity of poetry a young G’bars realized he could turn his passion for poetry into something more than just a hobby. It was his goal to take poetry and combine it with a harmonic beat to create something unimaginable. Desperately working to invent the perfect recipe for his new found craft, this poet found himself transforming into an experimental lyricist. G’bars went on to release his first solo project titled Audio Addiction followed by Penitentiary in 2010, which received great reviews and created the foundation for the new artist. After taking a 2 year break from releasing music G’Bars is BACK with a message for all those who doubted him and his fans who remained loyal.

Q : Tell me about your most recent project Nu Composition !

A : Nu Comp dropped 06/15/13 available on datpiff.com as well as Gbarsmusic.com ! The feedback I’m getting has been crazy. It’s a good feeling to receive recognition from different places; I got a response from someone in South Africa. I’m actually in New York working right now! It’s humbling but I still have work to do.

Q : Who are some of the artists you get inspiration from ?

A : I listen to a lot of different music, I like Nas, J. Cole, Kanye West, Lupe Fiasco, Curren$y and Common. I try to switch it up because I want to have my own sound. If all I listened to was A$AP Rocky then I would sound like Rocky and that’s not what Im looking to do.

Q : Are there any local Cleveland Artists that you look forward to working with?

A : I have been working closely with Prodigal of CreezMob and we have a few projects in mind. Mizzy2Low, Dope Kulture, Purple Monkey Sircus, R the Czar are all grindin hard and making good music I look forward to working with them more. I really would love to create with Lorine shes very unique and her sound is so rich.

Q : What made you want to start your own label?

A : I started Nu Black Panther Records in 2012 and I always knew ultimately I wanted to be the head of my own label. So I decided to build my own brand from scratch, I plan to create music under this label that has a message. We want to touch souls and inspire people ! Right now Mizzy2Low is another recording artist under NBPR who just dropped a project Party N Bullshit, I’m looking to add a singer to the team but we are open to hear anyone out who has their own sound.

Q : Are you already working on your next project ?

A : I am actually dropping two more projects this year ! After taking a 2 year break from releasing music I feel like people questioned my work ethic so I plan to continue to working, I’m just going to consistently drop music. Hoop Dreams is a collaboration with Proda which drops 10/25/13, its real hip hoppy ! Im releasing Heart & Soul 12/24/13 which will have 10-12 tracks, this project Is very heart and soulful lol. My projects are nowhere near rushed because I’m a perfectionist, Im a virgo that’s what we do!! Just listen and you be the judge

Q : What else can we expect from you in the near future?

A :  Look forward to more appearances, shows, open mics. I’m gonna keep droppin music and branding. Also NBPR is putting together a compilation project of artist from all over Cleveland, which will be called Nu Cleveland so be on the lookout for that.

Q : Do you want to give any shoutouts?

A : Well of course S/o to CatchingTheBee.com, my manger Scott and God because without him I wouldn’t be doing any of this !

Paper Paulk - Fuck Em All (Official Music Video) Produced by Dre$ki

This artist is one of the underdogs in the city ! I say underdog because honestly I dont feel like he is getting the credit that he deserves. His VERY FIRST project did NUMBERS, he is consistently putting out dope music and crazy visuals, killed freestyle kings and his first show!! yet I still dont hear his name buzzin like it should be. The thing about PaperPaulk is that his goals go far beyond Cleveland. lol so don't try to be a fan when he's on because in my mind he's been ON ! hes gonna be a star... Mark my words ! Paulk good luck at the Show in BG this week #StreetDreaming
