How are you doing? One Be Lo-Chilling. I'm out here in Denver right now. I'm on the road. I'm just trying to stay healthy. You know, give the same energy every night. I've been out here for a minute.
I interviewed you back in January or February. Are most of the songs you are performing from the current album? One Be Lo-Yeah, I mean most of the set is from the S.O.N.O.G.R.A.M album. I pretty much do songs from everything that I've got. People know a lot of the material I put out. The new album is fairly new to everybody. Some people know of the older stuff I put out. I try to do some of the bigger songs from those records.
You are on the Warped Tour? One Be Lo-Well yeah. I'm kinda doing two tours at the same time. The Warped Tour is during the daytime. So if I am in Denver on the Warped Tour in the day and at night I will do another show, a club or something like that.
Okay, maximizing your traveling. One Be Lo-Yeah no doubt.
So you were a MYSPACE featured artist and that is like a HUGE thing. How did that happen? One Be Lo-Man I was on the road. All I know is someone called me and told me I was a MYSPACE featured artist. I couldn't tell you how it happened. I guess I'm just...I guess someone was feeling it and decided to hook it up. I want to give props to MYSPACE for even thinking to do that. I don't think it was a manager or Fat Beats. I think it was just somebody in the friend chain was like, "Yo, you need to check this out."
Yeah because it rotated all throughout the site and was on the main page and the login page. One Be Lo-You know about the MYSPACE thing right?
I'm a MYSPACE girl! One Be Lo-I went from like 5,000 friends to 11,000 in three or 4 days. It's kind of wack because I can't really jump on the Internet right now. I'm just out here on the road and cats are hitting me up and I can't respond to a lot of messages.
I saw your blog where you posted that you couldn't be online much. One Be Lo-Yeah.
So have you been doing any recording while you have been on the road? One Be Lo-Definitly not. This is the first time I went on tour and I am literally by myself. I am on a tour but it's like I have to get in the car and drive and I'm rolling solo. I have to check into the hotel and load up and set my merch up. So it's taking a lot of energy from me because normally I have at least one person in my crew helping me sell merch or travel. I'm out here like One Man Army for real. When I do get to a spot and I have like 10 minutes to sit down, I'm doing that. I'm just expending a lot of energy right now.
What kind of merchandise are you selling on the road? One Be Lo-I got the CD's. Tee shirts, the tee shirts are running low. I've got some vinyl, a couple of DVD's too, just regular stuff.
How long will you be touring? One Be Lo-I'm going to finish up The Warped Tour. My last day is around August 10th. I'm going to leave the Warped Tour and do Scribble Jam. Then I'm pretty much done. I have a couple of spot days like I am going to go out to Cali and a couple other places but Im going to chill for a couple of months till October and go back out October to February.
Have you started making plans for the next album? One Be Lo-I got a couple of projects. I am working on the conceptual part of it. The next project I probably will put out is something I am working on with someone from my crew named Majestic Legend and its called "Security." That's probably 75% done. But as far as solo type stuff I have a couple of projects I am working on. I have a project I am working on it's exclusive.
You say you drive from city to city. What kind of music do you listen to when you are driving? One Be Lo-Right about now I'm just listening to beats I'm writing to. I like to roll through different environments and suck up the energy when I am listening to the beats. When I am rolling through the hood they don't sound the same as when you are sitting in a church parking lot. So for inspiration purposes I play beats and it's cool to listen to it on the freeway so sometimes I have to drive through the hood or pull into a park. Even though I am not in the studio, I am creating and gathering my thoughts to put it to the next project.
You are out there by yourself. …do you have any wild crazy stories from any towns that you have been in ? One Be Lo-Man. It's all like a blur. Other than rocking shows and stuff, The Warped Tour is pretty interesting. There are a lot of things people do to get attention. I'm kinda like out here in my own world because I am by myself I have to expend a lot of my energy for certain purposes so when I'm not working, which is very rare, it's like I gotta be resting or something like that. I'm meeting a lot of people though and a lot of people are showing me a lot of love whether they got the album five years ago or if they are on the MYSPACE thing, I'm meeting a lot of good people out here and making a lot of new family members or fans. So that's pretty much what I'm about just networking with people and trying to spread the love and spread the music so for the next project it can be a little bigger and make your job and my job a little easier.
