The point of any artist interview is not merely to ask the subject where they're from or who their favorite artist is. It's to hear their thoughts on growing up in several cultures and multiple cities. Or it's about what type of art, if any, hangs on the walls of the apartment they go back to when they're not touring. It's about knowing them outside of their music because ultimately, those are the things that make up their music. That, in part, was our intent when we spoke with sonic soul crooner, Jesse Boykins...

While I can't yell "New Tigallo! New Tigallo! New Tigallo!" in regards to new music from the North Carolina rapper, I can enthusiastically yell "new visuals for a Tigallo jam", which isn't nearly as catchy and is quite a mouthful (try saying that five times fast).

Phonte is one of those MC's you have no choice but to love just because he exudes charisma and he has all the elements that make an enjoyable artist.

Phonte has been all around the hip hop game and used to be the frontman for the trio Little Brother along with Big Pooh & 9th Wonder. This time around Phonte is about to drop his long-awaited solo album, Charity Starts at Home on September 27th. His newest track released is "The Good...
Wow! What an amazing lineup you have with this track. Phonte and 9th Wonder have, of course, worked very closely together as they were both part of Little Brother but after hearing that they were disbanding; you had to wonder if any of the members would work together again. And now, Phonte is...
