The life & times of ...

Hey hey what's goin' on... it's your home girl Hooch! Lettin' E kick his feet up for a bit! Shout out to E by the way for having yet ANOTHER successful shoot with Michelle W! Big ups for that.. More on that in our future post.

Now you all know how much I LOVE music!? & If you know me personally you know having a phone conversation with me is the worst because I ALWAYS have music playing, no if and's or but's. I'm always open and looking to explore new underground artist, or local artist tryna' make something out of something out of nothing out of something out of ... ok I'll stop... :(

Anyway I'm extremely picky with the music I actually LIKE... I'll listen to ANYTHING, but I won't like EVERYTHING. & this dude we're featuring today... THIS DUDE.. from his lyrics to his face, to his hair, down to his beats, mix tape etc... ( I can go on for days) .. This dude stole my ear with his music, my eyes with his face, and my heart with his ability to have an intellectual conversation without sounding like a fraud!

You'll love him, we do! & We will continually update our site, letting you know what's going on with our boy! Good music, good taste, good conversation, all we needed was a drink and a two chairs under a gazebo & it woulda' been set! haha.. alright alright now here we go, the one and only, our boy, the talented, gifted, and lovely------ M-Eazy!




1. State your name for the record please

M-Eazy in the flesh.

2. Why "M-Eazy" ?

You know what? I don't know. I feel names should be given to you. You don't decide what people call you. When I was younger running the streets that's what my friends called me. My real name is Matthew so obviously that's where the significance of the "M" comes in place. Supposedly it's a common nickname. I get a lot of dudes hitting me up saying I'm not M-Eazy, they are, blah blah blah. So on a lot of my accounts I put "The Real M-Eazy" out of humor of the situation but keeping it funky. Hov calls Memphis Bleek, M-Eazy. So really Bleek is the real M-Eazy. I don't know if I'll ever get into a problem with the name because of that or not.

3. What do you do for a living?

Right now I'm just a college student at Full Sail University. Majoring in Recording Arts and Music Business.

4. At what age did you begin writing, & what inspired you to do so?

I think I was around 14-15. I started off writing about girlfriends I had. Then when I was 17, I actually got into the recording and getting more creative with my writing.

5. Do you consider yourself a rapper, or an emcee?

Neither. I consider myself an Artist. What I do is just an art. I'm more into the making of music rather then the actually rapping on the microphone. Soon I would like to be considered a Musician. I'm taking classes in Piano and maybe if I'm good enough I might take some in Guitar.

6. What goals & aspirations do you have for your music?

My number one goal is just want to have a successful career. Whatever I end up being in this industry I want to be really good at it. Doesn't matter if I'm a millionaire or just living comfortably but I do want to have enough money for my mother to quit both her jobs so she can finally relax for once in her life.

7. Now a day anyone can spit & make it. What set's you apart from all the mainstream bull?

What sets me apart is I can do it all. I don't just write and spit. I can record and mix my own beats and vocals. I'm working on my producing skills but I'm hoping soon enough I'll be up to par with that as well. Where I am right now with my music I got here completely by myself. Everything you hear in my music is usually all done by me. Except this mixtape I did get some help on getting beats from other producers. Like I said I'm working on that part of my game. Everything else is all me.

8. Who are some of your inspirations in music?

I could get inspiration just out of a situation that happens throughout my day but music wise. I've always been big fans of Jay-Z, Joe Budden, Stack Bundles, Fabolous, The Roots, Evidence (from Dilated Peoples), Coldplay, and as of the past year even Drake and Kid Cudi.

9. If you were president what would you do/change?

I don't really follow too much on politics but as a average guy, outside looking in on the situation. I think recession is a big deal. Even college students graduating with a degree are having trouble finding jobs.

10. Aight so I'ma start you off and you continue .. readyyyy?

".38 to the skull, feelin like a fool. There’s a breach in my hull. Not made by a tool. I’d never take my own. But my world is gone. Classify me as John Doe all along. Lost my vision. Glasses can’t help it. Call me what you want just don’t call me selfish. More like my eyes are missin’. My heads still on, I checked it. I felt it. Surrounded by strangers. Completely misunderstood. All things in life can be dangers. You did the best you could. I was hyped and optimistic still. I thought I was doin somethin. I wonder if Cupid is a whopper. A blatant liar. I guess if there is nothing to regret, there is nothing to desire.":

GO HEADDDDD' !!!

haha you're funny. aiight.... ahem.

The block hot. I'm bout to lay low in the shade

Brim low, smokin haze. Livin' for another day

Tony Hawk'n it. Stayin on my grind

But I got shorty sparkin if you gettin out of line

At a young age I was blackmailed

They said "We caught a long haired Caucasian and a Black male"

He did the crime and I did the time

So in other words he's just a rat with a black tail

I'm the book that you judged the cover

and ya girl is undercover under covers

Gettin juiced up with my G.F. brothers

Either get fetti or you ain't nothin

Cause the streets left me heartless, left me targets

Which ended up leaving me with a empty cartridge

Empty stomach, empty pockets. Lint and pennies

They saying "You ain't gettin any"

So i worked hard to get where I got to make it to the top

Now I'm sayin "I gotta make something drop"

Family feud. I can't work it out wit pops

So I got my weight up. Now I'm workin out a lot.

11. if you could change one thing about music what would it be?

I wouldn't change anything about the music itself. It's the fans that choose the direction music goes. I think we need to get more people into what heart and soul of the music. Music with more meaning and inspiration instead of all hype flow and dancing type songs. I mean that shit cool when you with a girl and you tryna do ya thing but a dude like me got different types of vibes and different types of moods for different types of music. Feel me?

12. your handsome.. wait. that wasn't a question

Haha. Thank you. I'm all smiles.

13. So I heard your mixtape.. It was dope.. What did you want to accomplish with that?

I just wanted to get more people to hear what I have to say. Grow a bigger fan base and just prove I'm good at what I love to do. That I'm not just another local guy who thinks he can rap.

14. do you hope to make it big like Gucci mane and Wayne, or do you hope to remain underground like Mos Def, Kwali, Elzhi , and Grae? (I didn't mean for that to rhyme)

Now you just named a lyrical legend. Being anywhere near the same category as Talib Kweli would be a honor but I have no destination on where I hopes to be categorized. I think my fans will have more control on that situation then me. I'm just going to make music that I feel that stands for me and try to be successful in anyway I can. I still ain't shit compared to a lot of people who are in this industry and this is a tough business to get into so I'm willing to get my foot in the door by any means necessary. I mean... even Tupac had to do the Humpty.

15. Is there a message you want to send out through your music?

Of course there's a different message in each and every song. I have a song called "Jumping Off A Building". Now just looking at that name you would never guess it's a track about my girlfriend. Basically saying I'm down for you and I'm willing to do whatever step needs to be taken for us but once we take this step it's do or die and if things go wrong. My heart will be jumping off a building. Then the "I Can Do Bad By Myself" is the sequel to that song and in that song one of the bars goes "My heart is on top of the building. I think it's about to Ron Browz". You know Ron Browz jumping out the window with this one! haha.

16. LASTLY, do you think you have talent, or a gift ..? (there's a difference)

Now Denisse you my homie so I won't put you on the spot that talent is in the definition of gift (haha) but I feel what you saying. I think I may have both. My grandfather was naturally gifted with music. He played the harmonica and the piano. He never had lessons. He just taught himself. He also sung in his church's choir. So, maybe I got a little bit of him inside me. Who knows but with that gift I worked hard to create it into talent. With both in my favor hopefully I'm potential of something great.

There you have it folks... Matthew (M-Eazy) doin' it big!
