This video for Capital STEEZ's song Free The Robots is absolutely amazing! The message is crazy, but you have to watch/listen to understand. In the video there are visuals such as the words friEND, sLAUGHTER, beLIEve, HELLo, I believed that to be pure genius. The visuals are crazy to this song, so watch it for sure!

DJ Spyda Da Don Interview
I met an awesome DJ while I was in Miami by the name of DJ Spyda Da Don. We are working together, and I am going to be featured on his up and coming mixtape called "The Re UP 4" It's gonna be super DOPE! This is the interview that DJ Spyda Da Don has put up on his website, I'm happy about it for sure.
Curci is a young Hip-Hop artist that was born in February, 1995 in Colorado. He started writing lyrics when he was 8 years old and became serious with rapping as a career when he was 14. He has released two local mixtapes with different groups and now, he has a solo career. On 5/18/2012 he released his first solo mixtape “Curci In Wonderland.” He loves performing, and creating new songs. He spends his time not only writing lyrics but he also loves to skateboard and be fashion-forward with his shoes and personal style.
Q: To people who haven’t heard of Curci what would you like for them to know about you and your work?
A: First of all, I love music more than anything! But besides that, I am a 17 year old rapper from Fort Collins, CO. I just started my senior year of high school. And I am probably the most ambitious person that you will ever meet.
Q:How long have you been in Music?
A: Well, I have always loved music, and when I was young I always remembered the words to my favorite songs. Eventually, I just thought that I could write my own songs when I was around 8 years old. Since then I wrote a lot, and released a couple local projects. I believe I was around 14 when I realized that all I wanted to do was to make music. Since then I’ve been on my grind.
Q:How did you get your start in the game and where do you see yourself in 5 years?
A: When I started actually recording my music instead of just writing, it was through one of my classes in middle school. The class taught me a lot, and basically started me off to where I am at now. In 5 years, I see myself as being an established artist that isn’t going anywhere, that has a XXL freshmen of the year title, a few number one video’s, and a number one album under my belt. I would also like to have built a pretty good "empire" of all different kinds of people to make them successful too.
Q:Who do you compare yourself to?
A: I compare myself to Nas, Asher Roth, J.Cole, Kanye West, Joey Bada$$, and Wale. Although everyone compares me to Mac Miller, I guess I can understand the comparison.
Q:As a (producer/artist) what is your opinion on the game?
A: I believe that there is not enough real, and a lot of people portrait to be someone or something that they are not, which makes it seem not cool to be yourself. The media only seems to pay attention to songs that have basically already been done before, and they seem to not want any diversity between the artists.
Q: Who have you worked with and what was your favorite and/or worst experience?
A: When I worked with Chuuwee for the song Monster for my mixtape, I thought it was super cool because I really enjoy his music. I was excited that I was actually talking to him, and he liked the song enough to do it. But in the end when the song was finished, for some reason, maybe he was to busy or didn’t like the song although he said he did. The song didn’t get the support that it should have. We haven’t talked since we made the song, but I would like to again.
For all artist’s that I work with, I really like to become friends more than just business partners, even though the business is very important. How do you think Jay and Ye are so successful?
Q: Any current projects on the way?
A: Yes, I am actually working on my second mixtape right now, along with helping other people with their projects. My next mixtape will be titled “Speakeasy,”and will be released later this year.
Q: Any advice for new upstarts in the production game and artists advice too?
A: I’m not sure of this advice, because I haven’t completely made it yet, but this is what I believe. If you truly believe in what you do, then you will figure out a way to make it happen. Also Just BE YOURSELF! That is extremely important.
