Today’s showcase takes us to the ‘Sunflower State’.
When people think of Kansas, typically, rap isn’t one of the top five things that come to mind.
However, rapper Jay Mizz is on the right path of changing the perception of his hometown state.
Last night, I was able to catch up with Jay Mizz and get a better grasp on who he is and what’s his vision moving forward.
Nationally, the hip-hop scene in Kansas is looked at as non-existent. What would you tell those people?
I would tell them that we have something to say, its not just tongue twisting raps and autotune, people are really making some noise and actually could spit and I’m a good example. So my suggestion would be to hop on the wagon while you can.
What makes your sound appealing to the masses?
My sound alone is what attracts people, as well as my perception on life. I look at things differently then other people do, my heart , my vision and my path is different from anyone elses in this game. I take pride in what you hear and refuse to let bullsh*t come out of my mouth!
After listening to your music, I’ve noticed you really enjoy to freestyle. Where did that passion come from?
I love to freestyle it’s a gift for me , if you cannot already tell I’m not good at writing things down especially a song, and mostly everything I say has or will happen so it comes easy to me so when I hear a beat. I’m like I know what im about to do to this. I always joke with my homie Marcus because im never good at answering questions hahaha.
What’s the latest on your upcoming “Beats Always Wanted” mixtape?
Beats I Always Wanted or BIAW is done and we are going to release that soon. We just need people to champion behind the art and the mixtape a little more , because I will not disappoint. We have dropped 3 freestyles so far from mixtape on my soundcloud ( www.soundcloud.com/mizzthegr8 ) and they have gotten great feedback!! It’s 16 tracks total so be ready to tune in.
We know the mixtape is coming out, but what else should fans expect from Jay Mizz in 2016?
I will be dropping another cd this year all originals and very thought provoking and is guaranteed to push the culture!
