Check out my interview with North Carolina Artist Jah-Monte

1. Artist name and where did it originated from?

  • I've been through so many stage names in my life it doesn't make sense lol my name is "LORD jaH-monte Ogbon" me calling my self LORD is just play off from the 5% calling themselves gods, and jaH-monte Ogbon is what my mother named me.

2. Where are you from?

  • Originally born in Akron Ohio but for the last few years I've been in Charlotte NC

3. Influences/inspirations?

  • My influences for music I would have to say Marcus Garvey (upon whom be peace), LuteNC, Autum Rainwater, FLLS, BOB Marley, Mac-Dre, Maarifa, Cavallo, Common, J dilla, Illa-J, Nige Hood.

4. What makes your music different than other singers ?

  • I feel what makes my music different is the authenticity of it, everything i write about is real life things im going through, what I see in my environment and my life experiences. I also have a different sound from every artist right now that's on ITunes top 10.

5. Dream collab?

  • Aww man my dream collab ! The beat would be produced by J-dilla, Iman Omari, Kan kick & Daringer and I would have a Vocal feature from MF DOOM & West side gunn

6. Favorite rapper and why?

  • My favorite rapper was a local cat out of my city named G.I.S (God in self). He was everything in one had it all, Only thing is he was in the streets heavy and unfortunately he was killed over a pound of weed and never got to reach his full potential.

7. Where do you see yourself In 10 years?

  • I see myself self employed living in Ghana or some where on my own land with my family being self sufficient and not relying on Europeans for anything, i want my daughters to know how to live off the continent (growing food, clothing etc) and creating generational wealth.

8. Favorite album?

  • This is a hard question because I have so many but right now. I would have to say that my favorite album is Common "Like water for chocolate" .

9. Upcoming projects?

  • I have a lot of projects lined up for 2018, my next project probably will be early February and it's called "Real Life ..." That joint is gonna be bang people might wanna be hip but I plan on releasing maybe 5 projects this year.

10. Fun fact about you?

  • Fun fact about me is Home Alone 2 : lost in MY is one of my favorite movies BUT I don't celebrate Christmas lol.
