Exclusive Interview with producer "Dego Brown"
LatinoHiphop.Org
What equipment do you use to produce?
Dego Brown
I use Fruity Loops and Reason, but it's not what you use it's how you like your music to sound. You can make a hit on any program.
LatinoHiphop.Org
Do you think that there is any difference in the way that a producer listens to a track compared to how an MC listens to a track?
Dego Brown
Yeah I do because they don't hear what the producer hears. The nuances in the sounds. The way the hi hats flow and different things like that. When I make a beat it's like making a meal, you need the right amount of ingredients to make the perfect dish.
LatinoHiphop.Org
As a producer and businessman how do you use the internet to your benefit?
Dego Brown
Well I have my own website now DegoBrown.com so everything I do I promote through there and it has a big effect on the type of people that come through to listen to my music. I always used the internet whether it be Myspace, Facebook or YouTube. It helps me reach the people I would never been able to reach other wise.

Exclusive Interview with "Kemo the Blaxican"
LatinoHiphop.Org:
If there is one principle, habit or lesson that you can share with a young up and coming artist, what would it be?
Kemo the Blaxican:
Take the time to listen to the wisdom of old folks for they have been there before you. Do your thing and remain cutting edge.
LatinoHiphop.Org:
Where do you see the music industry 5 years from now?
Kemo the Blaxican:
Over saturated, over processed, with more and more clones getting over exposed. To the fans, find the good stuff... it lives.
LatinoHiphop.Org:
How do you go about recording, promoting and releasing your music?
Kemo the Blaxican:
I record at my private home studio. I produce most of my own music and write all of my own lyrics. It sounds controlling but it wasn't planned, it turned out that way over time. I determine where my strong markets are and where lots of my fan base hit me from and set out to reach them via the internet and independent record stores plus live shows. I get the word out on the streets and hit stages where I know my base is going to be.
LatinoHiphop.Org:
What are you currently working on?
Kemo the Blaxican:
I'm working the my third solo album and two other releases for Dead Silence Records (Sicko Soldado and Breezewood La Connecta), 2010 should bring all three.
