Who is humble tip
I want people to enjoy a hot album and keep their ears open for the punchlines, because you know they are coming. I hope they appreciate the promotion, the music videos, and all that I have put into this project, because I have invested a lot. But, overall, I hope they enjoy music that is meant to uplift the name of Jesus Christ.
How is this album different from your debut? Lyrically and Musically. Well, musically, I believe I have matured and evolved. Lately, like on the mixtape, I have really been trying to experiment with multiple flows. I love the punchlines but the Midwest and southern boys got me trying different flows. Also, on this album I hopped on a hip-rock beat and that was brand new for me. There are more tracks with singing and also I tried a pop track. I really want to stretch myself and be as universal as possible.
Lyrically, I think it was pretty thought provoking. I really dug in and hoped to express urgency and deep thought in a lot of the songs. The problem is, in some of the tracks, they are so fun to listen to, the depth of what is being said is overlooked. Sort of like when Michael Jordan makes a difficult layup look easy, nobody really takes into thought how hard it was because it looked so easy.
What inspired you during the creation of the album? Diversity inspired me. I really wanted to try different types of beats and different flows all promoting the same thing. I was inspired by multiple styles of music and artist. Also, I have always enjoyed live instruments, and you can hear this in my beat selection, I love spitting over live instrument sounds as opposed to computer created sounds. But like I said earlier, the main inspiration came from the last days that we are living in.
There is no time for self praise, or boasting and prideful boasting. It is time to be about our Fathers business and get His work done. Oh yes, I cant give any away this early, but there are plans for more music videos. Since your debut you kind of came out of nowhere and caught the attention of the Christian Hip Hop scene, we believe it was from your marketing tactics, any comments?
Man if you are going to do something, you should attempt to do it right. I really wanted to just get the word out to people. But, I do not want people to not get the album because they never knew it existed. That in essence, would be my fault. I really have a business mind and I am constantly thinking of the most effective, cost inexpensive ways to get the word out. And my fans really hold me down man, they do so much advertisement for me and spreading the word and leaving the comments and , man they really hold me down.
But its cool, its where God has me for now. Would you join a label if the opportunity opened? Man, it would really have to be a God thing. See my vision is to supply this generation with the highest quality of Christ centered hip-hop that I am capable of supplying, and present the Faith to the lost in a quality artistic highly recognized media platform that does not water-down the urgency of repentance at all.
If I found a label that had that vision and the connections to support that vision, then I may consider. Would you start your own if the physical distribution comes through? Absolutely not. Man, I know how rough this has been just putting out my own product, I do not wish to go through this again for myself, no less someone else. One thing for sure labels work has changed a lot within the last ten years.
Absolutely, labels are run now so differently now, then they were 10 years ago, or even 5 years ago. And how did you come up with it? The T. Growing up with both parents in the household, two brothers and one sister, Humble Tip learned the value of family and church.
