Lyricist Chronicles : Premonition (Lyrically Ready)

Define Hip-Hop as it relates you as an Artist and a Fan.

PR: I will always be a fan of this artform, far too many artists become established and forget why they loved it in the first place. That part of me will never change.


What is it about Hip-Hop that made you want to become apart of the historic genre?

PR: Hip Hop has always spoken to me on a level no other genre has. Although I wasn't raised in an urban environment, nothing ever moved like that break-beat. the syncopation of words with drums just made my soul move, i could feel it. The scratch of a record still sends chills through my spine to this day, its a love affair that never gets old but rather ages beautifully.

What is about Premonition that the world needs to know ?

PR: I believe the world needs to know that I am an individual who holds no sense of entitlement when it comes to this art form. I feel privileged to be able to contribute and the amount of respect that I have for this culture shines through in my craft. I pay very close detail to what I present, and would never exploit the art for my own gain. Oh, and they should also know that I'm talented and will die before finish staking my claim.




When "Building" your LP "The Build" what were some of the things you wanted to come across in your music for this album?

PR: First priority of this record to let people know that i'm here. I take this music very seriously and I have a a lot to say. I wanted to adequately display my versatility, as well as brief my listeners on who I am as an artist. And also playing of the title of the album I wanted to "build" my foundation while signifying there i much more to built further upon from this effort.

Describe your feelings on the importance of Lyrics and what you say on a track.

PR: Lyrics are very important. The power of words should never be underestimated. As emcee's our voices are our instruments and the means we have to communicate with the listener. If we don't pay the utmost attention to what it is were saying we will lose credibility as artists. listeners hear everything you say for the most part, so be honest and be careful what it is you choose to say.


We know you have ties with "Fighting For Futures" your strong connection with them is due to your wanting to give back. Tell us about why you feel such a strong need to give back and why more artist should do the same?

PR: Basically anytime I can lend my talents to affect anything positively outside of music, I look forward to the opportunity. Once I saw the things Felecia was able to accomplish through FFF I wanted to find out how I could get involved. After a few successful events we've developed a dope synergy that works in a positive way. So its definitely a good look for both of us and being able to contribute with my music makes it that much more rewarding.

What are the next steps for Premonition?

PR: Well now that I've completed my debut album I want to push it as much as possible. I think the world needs to hear it, and I've witnessed far too many quality projects come and go without the proper push behind them. I don't want that to happen with this, so im going all-out to make this album reach its potential. After that I'll be working on a number of projects including the release of my crew Central Intelligence's debut record "Beautiful Dystopia." I'll also be featured on many projects in the near future including: C Rayz Walz, L.I.F.E. Long, R.Me, Warren Britt and Otis Clapp's future releases.
