Reve Kalell – Q&A Interview

Tell us a little about yourself. Where are you from? How long have you been making hip hop?

I was born and raised in one of the coolest cities in America. Denver, Colorado. I’ve been making music consistently since I was eight years old, and it’s been hip hop about half the time.

What influences you in making hip hop?

Innovation. My goal is always to make music that helps the genre evolve. Sometimes it comes back to haunt me when people aren’t quite ready for something new, but oh well.

Describe your music, and what separates you from other MCs?

I try to always make you feel something.

Who have you collaborated with? Who would you like to collab with in the near future?

I’ve been so busy with my band SkyLaw that I actually haven’t been able to work with as many hip hop artists as I’d like, but let me throw something out into the universe and see if it manifests. This year I would love to work with Raury, Tinie Tempah, and Yonas.

Your definition of “Underground Hip Hop”?

Music that rebels against the majority.

Production wise, who are your influences? Who does your production? and who would you like to work with in the future?

I draw influence from a ton of different producers because we often try to create fusion music that has elements of multiple genres. Currently, I’m working with two overseas producers Digital Coma and BeatsCraze, along with local powerhouses Gregg Walsh and Toy Box.

Any current or future projects you are working on?

My new EP “Malware” is dropping next month. I’m going to release the debut single “Light Up” on a random day that feels right. My band SkyLaw is also releasing their debut EP “Evolution” this fall.

Can you give us a brief description of your creative process for your new single “Think Like Them?” Also, tell us a little bit about the concept and idea behind the cover art.

Well, I don’t write any of my music, all of it comes in a freestyle form. This particular record manifested after some issues with a former business associate. The inspiration hit so I drove straight to the studio.

Where can we find your music and info?
