Describe the tone of your rap style?
JokerFace: I consider myself versatile. Sometimes I like to be lyrical, sometimes I like to just flow on a beat, sometimes I wanna show some swag on a track, and sometimes I just rap how I really really feel and let it come out in the way it’s meant to, whatever that may be.
Who inspires you to rap?
JokerFace:I’ve been inspired by many artists, but I mainly started rapping, from working with Rai L. His passion for music inspired me to take interest, and over time, hearing myself develop, I kinda started to look to myself as an inspiration, because to me, growth in anything, is one of the most important aspects of life.
Do you have favorite producers/ rappers you want to work with?
JokerFace: I never really had a specific producer in mind. However I feel determines the type of beat I would want to get on. And Id be willing to work with any producer. Everyone Im familiar with is talented.
Do you believe a rapper has to change his/her flow over time to keep relevant in the game?
JokerFace: No, but I believe a rapper has to change what their focus lies on. After a while, the money songs begin to fade, and ‘ not saying it’s wrong to do them, but there should be a limit. Eminem is successful, not only because of his flow and lyricism, but for his emotion and ability to create different focuses, and people who are stressed or wanna hear hip hop for emotion, gravitate to that.
What goals to you have set for your self with music?
JokerFace: The goals I have set for myself, are to first be able to make music that I can enjoy. Its like self esteem, if I can’t be happy with myself first, how do I expect others to be happy. Next of course is to make music that others enjoy. And finally, I want my team Dramatikz, to be able to find great success in the music industry, and to find wealth. I want this because I want us to be remembered. I want to change the slum that the hip hop industry is in now(it’s not dead). And I want to be wealthy not to stunt. That would be nice to, but I want it mainly to live a comfortable happy life, and to support those I love women, or immediate family.
Do you perform? If so, then where?
JokerFace: I have yet to perform, but I am looking forward to it in the future.
How has your environment influenced you on how you construct your music?
JokerFace: My environment has taught me how life is, as far as dealing with negative people, women who play games with you, struggling to reach a level of having the nicer things in life, and always having to see others have those things and be treated different because of it. It pushes me to make music for those who’ve been where I still am right now.
Do you believe the internet has help you with getting your music out to the public?
JokerFace: Certainly, I would not be doing this very interview if not for the internet. It’s a very powerful tool and I cannot stress enough the importance of taking advantage of it. I’m grateful for this technology, because it’s hard to make it big in the music industry now, so I can only imagine it was much harder back then.
What can we expect from you?
JokerFace: Expect for me to speak my emotions on a track. I love to connect with others through my lyrics, and myself, because I like to make music to help me project my current state of mind. Also, I tend to write things that may come off as hard to understand, and I never do that to flex my lyrical muscle, but I do it because that’s how my mind is. So look in depth into the lyrics and you may find something you missed. And expect me to expir
How do you feel about today's music?
JokerFace: I feel today’s hip hop has only lost that connection to the listener, where they can get their emotions out, or listen to situations that their familiar with. No one always wants to listen to other people brag about stuff that the listener doesn’t have. And it gets old. However some artists are beginning to bring that aspect back, and make no mistake, hip hop is not, nor has ever been dead. At least not in my opinion.
