CS:let the people know your name and Where are you from,tell us about your self,

raz pro: My name is raz-pro (razorproductions). I’m from UK. I am a musician/producer/rapper/ (everything to do with music! lmao). I was born in Chatham, Kent, lived in London in my early years then moved to Luton. I’m currently producing on a MPC2000XL, and being a sample freak I rip samples from anywhere and everywhere. I play drums, bass, keys, and some stringed instruments, I teach myself and learn new things everyday. My click is called ARC feat me RAZ-PRO my lil brother G-KEYZ, WONDEZEE, MJAS, SAM WILLIAMS, LORD WILLIAMS. I also produce anyone that wants my beats “neo planets” one of my albums is just pure unsigned artists from over the globe from Germany to Cali! I also remix any acapellas I come across, currently working on a 2PAC remix album and i currently alot of material on the net.

cs: thats whats up how is is the hip hop scene out there in the uk and who are you affiliated with?

raz pro: The hip-hop scene in the UK is nuts… the real artists are tucked away on myspace. Its mad, I’ve come across ill spitters and producers on myspace that easily top anything commercial. My sound is a different hip-hop, its smooth, heavenly, nice and loving, kind of neo-soul, backpack. Not many people can except this, everyone is in to the commercial everyday hip-hop talking guns, money, women, drugs. We just talk life and everyday scenarios. We make real music with real sounds and words. We do this for love.

cs:how was it growing up in the uk?

raz pro: Growing up in the UK is obviously all i’ve known like I think if I was in the states I would be hittin it so much harder on the music scene, more opportunity and more appreciation for the music. Uk is just… I dunno, its hard but at the same time its not. U have to get a job and grind but some people just live off the benefits. I have to work and grind, being broke is against my religion!! Lmao! Plus I provide for my woman and daughter.

cs:what are your current projects, and who are you working with?

razpro: I got a lot going on, like a big ass soup! Lots of ingredients in there.! Working on a 2PAC remix album, and a DREAMSBLEND.COM beat tape and another beat tape called “dilla in the mirror” all coming to mininova.org soon. Its crazy, I mean I see myself like a beat terminator, I can’t be stopped, I make beats everyday and have thousands of them. I have over 260 tracks on my myspace and 111 torrents online. Ill never stop putting out little projects!! Top raz-pro projects:- 1,ILL-USSTRATIONS 2,RECESSION HITZ 3,SCIENCE&WIZARDS 4,SOUL BROTHERS 5,THE LINK UP AND 6,SAMPLE HEAVEN. All avalible to download free from www.mininova.org

cs:As a producer who has influenced you in your work and who do you think you may resemble?

raz pro: JAY DEE AKA J-DILLA (JAMES YANCEY) R.I.P never ever forget him, he is the key!!!!!!!! I’ve shed tears listening to some of his beats! Google him if u don’t know!! And just sit back and take it all in.. seriously, the best producer of all time!! Search for my album “TO J-DILLA AKA JAY-DEE FROM RAZ-PRO” available to download free from www.mininova.org

cs:what do you hope to accomplish in the next 5 years as a producer?

raz pro: Hopefully to be producing big artists and have 10,000 beats on the internet plus remixes beat tape videos/slideshows and live footage of the ARC playing cos we are a live hip-hop group. My lil brother and me jam so hard, growing up in church we analyzed the music from an early age and got addicted. We can’t read music but we have it in our minds. Hopefully would like to be doing shows and I hope to be selling a large collection of my beat loops to other producers.

cs:as a producer tell the people  how would you define your music as an producer?

razpro: I would try to define it in 10 words which would be… mellow, heavenly, smooth, ecstasy, climax, love, real, live, backpack, neo-soul.

cs:what made you pursue you career in hip hop?

razpro:Well I was actually going down the live route until WONDEZEE gave me a slum village CD say 5 years ago, and it blew me away, something was always missing from my music life, all commercial hip-hop was too predictable and I got bored of it fast, until I came across DILLA!! Lol that was it after that, I knew what I was capable of. I wanted and still want to be better, I know I wont but I have to set my standards high to achieve well and heart hittin beats. I get a lot of positive feed back on myspace and my torrents some have even compared me to dilla, which is quite good, but I’m not tryin to be like him. Dilla is a benchmark, I’ve used his inspiration as a kind of template. So yeah Dilla is the reason.

cs:Aside from music some of  your other intrest?

raz pro: I’m a qualified Carpenter and at the moment I’m working doing landscaping. I enjoy keeping fit, socializing with friends and family, my lovely daughter. I have to hit the clubs from time to time, I just love the bass from my car and clubs! I have to feel bass go thru me its mad its like a drug to me! I’m a fiend for bass!! lmao

cs: before we go what advice can you give inspiring producers out there?

razpro: just to keep producing don’t everstop. And never erase a beat if u don’t like it, someone else will. Every project u open is like a blank sketch and you are an artist-artists draw! U see me. Keep pumping and plugging it!! JHEEZE!!!
