Slim Gray AKA Big Jay
January 31, 20131. What are your social links
2. How did you get into music business?
I been doing music since before I could remember man, since my mother got me my 1st boom box and I figured how to record my voice on blank tapes.. I even took her old tapes, and pushed tissue in the top of them, and recorded over her joints with my own raps (and yeah, I got my ass whipped a few times for that lol) I was making mixtapes in middle school and selling them out my backpack in the 90's. So id say I got in to the business by the love I've always had for the sounds.
3. Tell us about your mixtape?
STRAIGHT OUTA THE DMV. Frederick MD to be exact. S/O H-town and the whole 301, 240, 410, and 443
Man I spend hours and hours listening to beats, thousands of beats, and what i choose depends on my mood at that exact time, like right now I'm gravitating towards that old school boom bap sound....
As far as inspiration goes I could make this list a few pages... but if I had to pick 3 MCs I'd say 2pac, Ghostface, and Raekwon hands down.
At the moment I'm still an active duty soldier in the U.S. Army, So I'm up at 5am, running miles by 6:30am, training and leading my soldiers 24hours a day 7 days a week.... but every second of free time I manage to come by, I'm writing music, in the studio recording and mastering my craft.
1st I gotta S/O Da Front Porch for the opportunity, INDIEKUSH.COM, FAT WHITE FILMS, THE WHOLE DMV, ALL THE SOLDIERS, SAILORS, AIRMEN, AND MARINES THAT GO OUT THE DOOR EVERYDAY NOT KNOWING IF THEY WILL RETURN FOR OUR FREEDOMS, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY ALL OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS LOCKED UP, WE LOVE AND MISS YOU ALL.
