Although he’s still heavily involved in the mixtape scene in the South, building up an empire with his ‘Gangsta Grillz’ mixtape series, in 2005 the Philly native also signed a long-term deal with T.I.’s Grand Hustle Entertainment and Atlantic Records, allowing him to reach more audiences worldwide with the major label signing. 77157105ad73cd76218d334f89dafd2f http://www.musicrooms.net/interviews/3041-interview-time-dead-prez-and-the-outlawz.html http://www.musicrooms.net/files/artists/Dead_Prez_Outlawz_270548123.jpg Interviews Wed, 06 Sep 2006 13:18:00 +0100 The highly-anticipated street collaboration of political rap duo dead prez, and 2Pac’s group, The Outlawz, finally dropped this summer with a clear message of unity, power and progression for the hip hop society. 574c6b7578b703e3eada225bd2e0dde3 http://www.musicrooms.net/interviews/3040-interview-time-rishi-rich.html http://www.musicrooms.net/files/artists/Rishi_Rich_886417302.jpg Interviews Sun, 06 Aug 2006 13:14:00 +0100 Rishi Rich - the UK Asian super producer who shot to fame through his innovative fusion of Asian and urban sounds – releases his eagerly anticipated debut album 'The Project' through 2Point9 Records. 5a1e70ec10313e92edc70d8392d80bdc http://www.musicrooms.net/interviews/3039-interview-time-chamillionaire.html http://www.musicrooms.net/files/artists/chamillionaire_194582111.jpg Interviews Mon, 31 Jul 2006 13:10:00 +0100 ‘The truth from Texas’ has arrived.

As the voice of Morcheeba, she soundtracked our lives on albums such as Big Calm, sold five million records and graced stages around the world. And yet somehow, she always remained an enigma. Private about her personal life and modest about her achievements, she never really played the pop star game. We knew her voice. But despite her success, we did not really know much about the real Skye. 9d5ce0ea0a26d4b4df17e6b922bb4252 http://www.musicrooms.net/interviews/3037-interview-time-paradise.html http://www.musicrooms.net/files/artists/paradise_573477636.jpg Interviews Thu, 22 Jun 2006 13:04:00 +0100 PARADISE THE PROLIFIC FEATURING THE MIGHTY KRS 1, SKINNYMAN AND MCD PRESENT “U MUST LEARN” – PART OF THE GOOD AMAMRITAN MUSIC PROJECT 20bda23e5fdf0e645cadcbc9a9f03d79 http://www.musicrooms.net/interviews/3036-interview-time-marvin-the-martian.html http://www.musicrooms.net/files/artists/marvin_the_martian_406296039.jpg Interviews Mon, 12 Jun 2006 13:01:00 +0100 Zap Zap, The Martian has finally landed!

Juanes may be one of the biggest and sexiest male music stars to come out the Latino music scene for almost a decade, but he is not like anything, or anyone, that has come before. Forget Enrique Iglesias; forget Ricky Martin but remember Juanes. 7041395c5654fd590c5d2571b218be69 http://www.musicrooms.net/interviews/3034-interview-time-david-banner.html http://www.musicrooms.net/files/artists/david_banner_376375407.jpg Interviews Thu, 11 May 2006 10:54:00 +0100 David Banner isn't afraid to please his women; you only have to listen to his recent single "Play" to understand that. Apart from that, not a lot is known about the heavy weight producer/ rapper from the depths of America's Dirty South. On his recent pass through of London, fresh from supporting Sway on his tour, David Banner took some time out to talk to Musicrooms.net for a conversation about life, sex (of course), Hurricane Katrina and the possibility of some more UK collaborations. 0eb676c18a8c67c980db761b5890495c http://www.musicrooms.net/interviews/3032-interview-time-ginuwine.html http://www.musicrooms.net/files/artists/Ginuwine_705862500.jpg Interviews Tue, 04 Apr 2006 10:41:00 +0100 Ginuwine with no Timbaland is like Whitney without Bobby or Pete Doherty without a drug scandal; you can’t imagine one without the other. 3c8af7e0051f6a4dcb98fc4e01d09ee2 http://www.musicrooms.net/interviews/3031-interview-time-mary-j-blige.html http://www.musicrooms.net/files/artists/Mary_J_Blige_261941049.jpg Interviews Mon, 06 Mar 2006 21:37:00 +0000 Mary J. Blige is back again with a heartfelt album for the '06. The Breakthrough is a journey that Mary invites you to take with her, a journey of her life, where sheï's been and where she's going. Life is a game of ups and downs and after being down for so long Mary J. Blige is back on a high and she wants the whole world to know. Her journey began in 1991 she sings on "MJB da MVP", the track made hot by 50 Cent and The Game, and has taken her from Biggie to Method Man to Jay Z and from heartache to true love.

This one rocks a Salvador Dali-esque moustache, long bleached blonde hair and a wardrobe seemingly more befitting of a glam rocker from the late seventies than someone who claims he wants to be the "Rap Morrissey". Musicrooms.net got up close and personal with Akira. 0adc31a79558ca9c2456c65468457f7a http://www.musicrooms.net/interviews/3028-interview-time-floetry.html http://www.musicrooms.net/files/artists/floetry_692241620.jpg Interviews Sun, 13 Nov 2005 21:26:00 +0000 From SE5 to Philly's West Side, Natalie Stewart and Marsha Ambrosius have achieved what most of the UK artists today strive to, but unlike some of their peers, they remain extremely humble and forever grateful. Gone are the days of performing on small university stages in Elephant & Castle, they now command attention from industry veterans for their vocal and song-writing skills. Musicrooms.net caught up with them on the eve of the release of their long-awaited album, to share in their home-coming excitement. 8132723bd1c52184cf345976243ca89e http://www.musicrooms.net/interviews/3027-interview-time-angie-stone.html http://www.musicrooms.net/files/artists/angie_stone_785212017.jpg Interviews Sun, 13 Nov 2005 21:19:00 +0000 “It’s all about the music”. Words that have somehow disfigured amongst many artists of today, but for Angie Stone it is still a high concept of who she is. From actress to singer to songwriter, producer and a mother, there are no mountains high enough that this woman is afraid to climb. In the comfortable surroundings of her West End hotel suite, Musicrooms.net got up close and personal with Angie Stone. 69595b2eae3ea6abed9eba2ee51f32ce http://www.musicrooms.net/interviews/3026-interview-time-killa-kella.html http://www.musicrooms.net/files/artists/killakella_562354161.jpg Interviews Sun, 13 Nov 2005 20:55:00 +0000 Learning to beat-box was all fuzzy to a seven year old. But at twenty-seven, he is more than capable to tell us a few tales. With beat-boxing carefully locked under his belt we can experience Mcing and singing to add a fresh new angle to this existing unique sound. Musicrooms.net was invited to have a jump off with the legendary beat-box champion. e7febfcad720c8598f54546e47787dc7 http://www.musicrooms.net/interviews/3025-interview-time-lady-sovereign.html http://www.musicrooms.net/files/artists/lady_sovereign_632702752.jpg Interviews Mon, 07 Nov 2005 20:46:00 +0000 2005 has been a very good but busy year for the White Midget a.k.a.

A key member in East London's reigning N.A.S.T.Y. Crew, he has talent, credibility and vision coming out of his pores, and let's not even mention his looks - handsome enough to melt knicker elastic at a thousand paces, he's currently out of love, and weighing out the options: 'Single. yeah,' Kano grins.

And she may be only 22, but they are hardly the “I love, you love, aby love”-type songs you might imagine. Like prodigies Kate Bush and Alicia Keys – both signed to similar deals as Nina Jayne - her lyrics are working an altogether deeper seam: they take in everything from disastrous relationships to homelessness and domestic violence, drawing on everything from her visits to women’s refuges to her observations of poverty in London. 40536ddef45f01b084bb31fd84ed2314
