MG

CS:whats going on fam  let the people know your name and where you from:

MG the future: I go by MG, I’m from New Jersey, but I’m currently been
holding it down in Raleigh, North Carolina. Better known as Ruff
Raleigh or the City Of Hate.

CS:I all ready know what it is! but tell the people that dont know who
you  are and what it  is that you do!

MG: I’m an artist at heart. I produce songs, make beats, engineer
tracks, web design, computer programming, you name it. Pretty much
everything it takes to be an independent entertainment label, I have
my hands in. I’ve been producing strong since 2003. Been posting and
shopping beats online since then. Recently in 2007, I won Lil Wayne‘s
Making The Next hit contest that came to my region. That inspired me
to take on new challenges. I currently produce for local artists in
hopes to make more buzz for myself and those who are riding with me.

CS: That’s what it is man,oh and by the way, what artist have you
worked with that you have  sold your beats to ?

MG: I work with anyone willing to work. In my city it’s all about
giving a hand to anyone willing to work and go hard. So I offer free
beats and studio time to the people who I feel are particularly
talented. So far I’ve worked with atleast 20 individuals in raleigh
alone. Online is a bit different. Whomever comes across my music on
the web and is willing to buy, i sell to. I get alot of love from
California and Georgia with that. Right now I’m currently working on
projects with locals Supa Dame and Rio Blaze. Looking forward to
wrapping this project up and giving the city what it needs right about
now.

CS:how much do you make? selling your beats per week?

mg:
A good week for me would be about 500$. It Varies for me. If my focus
is to push a particular instrumental for sale it can happen in as
little as 2 days and as long as 2 weeks. Most of the time I try to get
my tracks to artists I’m working with at the time. And in that case, I
typically only charge for studio time.

CS:how would you describe your sound of music that you produce?

MG: Inspiring. I do my best to craft instrumentals that inspire an
artist to write their best verse. A lot of my music is very moody and
brings out the realness of an artist. Whenever I work with an artist
in person, I like to get their opinion on what sounds and styles they
prefer. Then I mix and match that into what I do. Comes out great. I
think I have a good ear for picking out the best sound for a
particular concept an artist may have.

CS:what are your influencese as an producer and why?

MG: When I started, it was the greats in the industry. Ranging from
Timbaland to Dr. Dre, Ryan Leslie to Scott Storch. Right now, It’s the
cats who I actually have access to. That I’ve been able to watch
develop over the years that I’ve been doing it. Such as I.N.F.O of
blownup records, Soleternity, Showdown, and many others. You rarely
get a chance to see a star born. But with these guys, I’ve kept up
with them since day one. Posting on the same sites as me and
exchanging reviews. Now they have moved up closer to their dreams and
dealing with the “industry” as it comes their way. With that being
said, I know it’s just a matter of time before I get my turn to take
it to the next level as well.

CS:what do you think about the game today of producing music,how do
you feel about it:

MG: Today is a lot more different then when I started about 6 years
ago. There’s so many resources available to aspiring producers now,
thanks to the internet. If you have the time and patience to study and
figure out programs, then anyone can really get good at producing.
With that being said, it makes the market very saturated. Today the
cream definitely needs to rise to the top. There’s guys who download
fruity loops today, and are selling beats tomorrow. Because of that
dynamic, anyone aspiring to be noticed or great, has to do something
different. It’s just not about making beats any more, or being “good”
for that matter. You really have to work hard on your craft, your
business sense, your market and promoitons, and relationships with
people. Like anything else, but more so with producing since half of
the people you’re competing with are using the same exact resources
and methods as you.

CS:thats what it is fam,before we go is there any body you wanna shout
out and how can the poeple get ahold of you if they wanna buy any of
your music?

MG: I just wanna give a shot out to anyone who’s supported me through
the years (even back to when i went by Dskillz) and the reader who
finds out who I am for the first time by reading this article and
becomes a new fan today. I’ll continue to do my best and hopefully
inspire others to make their dreams blend. I’m on myspace, soundclick,
facebook, everywhere.
