TONE DOLLARZ "Q&A Interview" /// UndergroundHipHopBLOG.com
-Tell us a little about yourself. Where you are from? How long have you been making Hip Hop?
My name is Tone Dollarz and I am a 23 year old upcoming rapper from the South Bronx. I have been making music on and off for about 5 years. I recently just started working on my first mixtape called “Im REAL” it would be released in late August.
-What influences you in making Hip Hop?
I simply think I make music to tell my story and it helps me to explain who I am. My father and my peers also influence me to make hip-hop music. I think I just have a passion to make music and I dont care who likes it or not, I feel its just who I am.
-Describe your music, and what separates you from other MCs?
My music is lyrical, I enjoy punchlines, metaphors, similes, and word play. Alot of my fans tell me that I am creative and I bring alot of word play into my music. I think my metaphors and creativeness seperates me from other MC’s. I admire creative punch line artists like Big L, Biggie,Tupac, Eminem, Drake, J Cole, Casidy,Fabolous, Kendrick Lamar, Wale, School Boy Q and Joell Ortiz, I feel they bring that creative word play and that keeps me entertained.
-Who have you collaborated with? Who would like to collab with in the near future?
I have recently collaborated with Freck Billionaire, Oun P, and URL battle rapper Rich Dolarz. I mean I am open to work with almost anybody because I feel the more exposure I have the more recognition I will recieve. I will like to work with Drake, J cole, Fabolous, Joell Ortiz, Kendrick, and ASAP Rocky.
-Your definition of “Underground Hip Hop”?
I think underground hip hop is just music not to many people heard of or music that is not publicized and pushed onto mainstream radio stations. I dont think underground hip hop is a bad thing, I just feel its not the finals stage for an artist, the main goal is to make it main stream and get the push needed to be publicized and marketed. Underground means exactly that unless in rare occassions an artist has the Wiz Khalifa ambition and makes hits and makes his own push.
-Production wise, who are your influences? Who does your production, and who would you like to work with?
My production comes from a variety of producers such as Omito Beats, Sloppy Joe Beatz, Mr Mayz and many more. I would like to work with Swizz, J cole, and Young Chop.
-Any current or future projects you are promoting?
I am currently working on the Im Real mixtape which is 90% completed. I am currently promoting a new song called Rep Ya Ganghttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GoFAuwD41nU . It was me stepping out my comfort zone and acknowledging the trap style of music also promoting this video called swear 2 God http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEn5GP2O334
-Where can we find your music and info?
My music can be found on youtube.com/poloflow23 and soundcloud.com/tonedolarzmusic-1
-Any shout outs?
I would like to give a shout out to my fans, my father and my sister who has been a huge suporting cast to me and also my friends Wakko, Scotty, and Los. They have helped push me to make music and they will have no problem telling me if they think a song or a line is not up to par. I also would like to shout out and thank Underground Hip Hop for giving me this opportunity.
