So Last friday , we headed to Chrizo's new studio Illustrious labs. Once you enter the room, you'll feel the chillest vibe in an instant, with great friends and fresh beats nothing can go wrong. So here's mister CHRiZO's round two interview, talking about his new 10 beats being released this tuesday, and ILLUSTRIOUS LABS. peace!
(CHRiZO)
What have you been up to these days?
Lately I've been really busy with the lab, illustrious lab, ill lab for short, transferred all my equipment here near to the people in the city trying to make business out of it, still learning.
Where was the lab based before?
My studio before was in LP, people have to cross the toll gate and stuff to get there you know, now its a little bit near to a lot of friends and a lot of homies you know.
(RJAY TY of LDP)
Tell us about the dope new beats you're gonna release?
Well thats a good segue question (laughs), I've been really busy with the lab, before i got in to this whole studio thing, i was very active on weekly beats i started last november and i kept goin' and it was around july-ish i kinda slowed down because i was trying to put up the business i was out of weekly beats for a while coz i didn't really have to much time to make the beats. so in a blink i missed 10 weeks man, and i even had a hard drive crash last week so i thought lost my weekly beats but i still have em, i still have to redo a couple so i promised Illa, the moderator of weeklybeats that i give him 10 beats, you know still working on them now i have 10 but they're not really finished, hopefully by tuesday, thats tentative though.
Why should we listen?
Well you shouldn't (laughs) but i think.. i dunno man its for everybody's enjoyment, Im not really trying to make a statement Im just trying to make up for lost time, Im just trying to shake of cobwebs and usually beats come out like when your not trying to prove your self to much, try'na let it flow. A lot of that reflects on the beats, you know i just enjoy it.
If you weren't making beats what would you be doing right now?
I wont be the president, thats to much responsibility, I wont be on a billboard with nothing but my underwear on (laughs) i cant say rapper coz, i cant rap! (laughs). Beats for me is a tough act to follow in my life. I don't think I can talk or act as professionally like I do if it was about anything else. But! i maybe teaching, ironically yeah, i was teaching korean kids for 3 years on the side.
Advice to young hiphop artists and producers.
I'd like to think of myself as young (laughs). Well never look at it as a struggle, a lot of people say they're grinding and hustling, and it doesn't even sound good, it sounds like you're having a hard time. You just gotta have fun with it and be a friend to everybody.
