Day 24 part 2 : Interview Questions with YEZZI




1. What was the first song you felt really touched by?
I can't exactly remember what it was, but it was most probably a Phill Collins song called "Another day in paradise". I deep and truly love that song, even up until today.
 2. What are your favorite genres of music? And why?
Hip Hop.  It just shows so much creativity in its style and passion for making music that no other genre does, I also feel that Hip Hop is the best genre for me.
3. In terms of music, what songs are your guilty pleasures?
Any songs from a soundtrack from the Disney movies either "The Lion King" or "The Jungle Book", I know my fans wouldn't expect me to listen to music like this because I’m a Rap artist but that is why it truly is a GUILTY pleasure.
4. Who has inspired you to write some of your songs?
My ex's and my crushes have inspired me in the past, but also members of my family
5. When you write lyrics, is there any special time or place you write?
I write them whenever a bar or song hook pops up in my head. That can be anywhere from the shower, to when I'm even at work, when it does I just type it on my phone or save it as a voice note so I know exactly how I want my song to be.
6. What do you have going in the near future?
I have my competition "Yezzir Freestyles" coming out where people pick their favourite song clip, and then the song with the most votes I'll release as a full song and make it an E.P. "Who.What.Where" will be coming out soon.
7. If you could steal any artist’s clothes, whose wardrobe would it be?
Probably Teyana Taylor or Rhianna. Rihanna has some awesome style,  she’s la true fashionista.
 8. What is your favorite album of all time?
The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill - By Lauryn Hill.
I just feel like every song on the album is a masterpiece, and it isn't easy for me to be impressed to this level. I love Lauryn Hill.
9. Which do you prefer meaningful lyrics or  fun lyrics ?
I prefer meaningful lyrics because I feel it’s easy to connect to, especially on a deep and emotional level. But I do like fun lyrics also.
10. What do you think of the British Rap scene?
I think there was time when their wasn't one because people were too caught up trying to copy the U.S rap scene, but now people are embracing being British more, its in a very good position right now and even the U.S rap scene are recognizing the talent we have over here.
11. How do you produce your music? Do you do it all yourself?
No I don't do it all myself. I normally pick the beats that someone has previously made, then start writing my songs with a rap verse and a singing chorus then I would record it.
12. How would it feel for you, to get signed to a major record label in the future?

That would be nice as long as I'm put in a position where I still have control over my creativity, I would dislike if anyone tried to make me something I'm not.
13. If you could pick one word to describe yourself, what would it be and why?
"Growing" I know that sounds weird but I believe I'm not the same person I was yesterday, everyday I believe I'm growing and my music is improving  and changing for the better.
14. How do you feel about the representation of female rap artists, in today’s industry?
I feel that female artist's should only portray themselves how they really are and not just for the sake of attention seeking,  because doing that only devalues other female rap artists music.
15. Who inspired you as an artist?
I'm inspired by Lauryn Hill, Snoop Dog, Biggies Smalls, 2pac,Kanye West, Drake, India Arie, Musiq Soul Child and Beyonce. I could go on forever if I wanted to, but with these artists in particular there’s a special element that each of these artists have that one day I hope I will achieve.
