So then, what’s the band name and what do you ‘do’ in the band?
They call me Drama-J and I’m an MC, with me is my man, my partner in crime, Loyal, better known for his unique drumming, representing our crew YellowCake. As founders of YellowCake we both play important roles in the crew. Loyal is the man behind our beats and music, he also organises the band and pushes our musicians to perfection (especially on stage) and I basically organise our MCs and keep ’em motivated to bring our A-Game every time and anytime so lyrically we are equipped in the studio but more importantly on stage. Together we organise shows and the visions for YellowCake.
What do you think people will say you sound like?
I think we have our own unique sound and with so much diversity and talent in the crew my description of YellowCake would be an urban mixture of different styles containing hip hop, reggae and soul that creating what we call “MAGIC!”
What do you love about making music?
What we love about making music is the fact that you can never know enough when it comes to music, you are always learning new things challenging yourself to reach perfection. Also being able to get an audience to see and feel the passion in our music, our ability to relate to society and the power to create memorable moments for the people. See we see music as a part of life, every time you hear a song it’ll take you back to the feeling and that moment you had at that specific time.
What do you hate about the music industry?
We hate the fakeness in the industry of artists and musicians who have no passion or love for music and are deceived but more thoroughly focused on money, fame and riches and everything that comes with being a successful artist, music isn’t a job it’s a gift and a passion.
What can a punter expect from your live show?
Flamboyant flows put together creatively to make music that puts you in the mood to hit the dance floor! Coz that’s what we do.
What’ve you got to sell CD-wise?
We’ve got an EP launch in December at sale prices of $10 also our mix tape YellowCake Official is flying around for free along with various artists from YellowCake like Mose’ and Mc JC with their individual mix tapes as well. Mose’ has also dropped his album called Onslaught featuring Menlo Park and the whole YellowCake family and that’s selling on iTunes
When’s the gig and with who?
Our gig is on the Saturday October 6 at Level 2, with DJ Fingaz, DJ Xrated, DJ C-Ram and Dj Khalua on the wheels of steel to Gee Up the night with new and old school hip hop. Doors open at 9pm ’til 4am.
