1. Who are you and where are you from?

The 6th Letter, Toronto born and raised.

2. Tell us about your art. Tell us about your movement. Is it Toronto-centric?

In a nut shell, my music is quite nostalgic, containing remnants of the 90’s “boom-bap” era with a new school stoner twist. As far as my movement goes, it’s a pro-positive movement as well as an anti-tobacco one. Hence, the title of my mixtape (Go Green). It is Toronto-centric and also continuing to spread throughout Canada & the US. I am the founder of my own collective (Above The Rest Entertainment) which consists of two producers and six rappers (Two of which are rappers/producers) from Toronto, Mississippi, California, Houston & Florida. I am also an artist under NeakO’s “The World Music Group” imprint, I’m sure you’re familiar with him.

3. Top 5 Rappers in the game right now in your opinion.

Kanye West, Curren$y, Big Sean, Dom Kennedy & NeakO.

4. Who are your biggest musical inspirations? Who affected you personally, in your career?

I’d say Pharrell Williams, OutKast, Method Man, Snoop Dogg & A Tribe Called Quest are my biggest musical inspirations. Personally, ATCQ affected me the most in my career. Midnight Marauders & The Love Movement are two of my most favorite Hip-Hop albums ever.

5. Tell us about your projects right now current and future, #GoGreen just came out on iTunes I see.

Go Green is my sophomore mixtape presented by The Smokers Club, The Goodie Bag Blog & GoodFellaMedia.com.

I am currently working on my 3rd solo project which is still untitled. I have a fresh new sound ready to bring to table. I know my fans will appreciate it. Great music is undeniable.

7. Where do you want to be in one year? in your career? as a person?

By this time next year I want to have at least 4 solid projects under my belt and be on tour with my team. As an individual I want to be a lot wealthier, knowledgeable and experienced.

1. Who are you and where are you from?

H: Wassup, my name is Hue Jane. 17 year old recording artist from Brampton, Ontario, Canada.

2. How would you describe your music? Is there a style that you like or emulate?

H: When it comes to creating my music, it reflects of what’s going on in my life and it’s inspired by the positive and the negative situations but I’m always trying to do something different to keep my style relevant and tight. I think that’s what my listeners want to hear from me, the chill, positive, creativity and versatility in my music.

3. You’ve started releasing more and more songs on youtube, how has the response been to that… can we expect an EP or a mixtape?

H: Yeah I started releasing a few leaks on my youtube channel, nothing but positive comments and love I got from listeners and artists who are now getting on my shit. I’ll always be leaking stuff on my youtube to get in touch with my fan base. I don’t have a stable date when I plan on dropping my sophomore project but it will be dropping sometime late August so keep smoking that good.

4. Who would you say are your top 5 influences musically right now? and do you only listen to hip-hop?

H: My top 5 influences musically right now are Snoop Dogg, Outkast, Curren$y, Kanye West and The Pharcyde. I dont always listen to Hip-Hop, sometimes I feel like relaxin to some soul music and vibe to The Isley Bros. or some Jimi Hendrix but it all depends how I’m feeling.

5. In the future, do you see yourself moving to Toronto?

H: In the future I do see myself having a place somewhere in Toronto where I can either push my movement in the streets or just hang & smoke out lounges with the homies. [Laughs]

6. What shoe brands are you fucking with right now?

H: Chucks, Nike Dunks, Air Jordans. I also wear a lot of skating shoes from time to time but I’ll rock anything that looks dope on my feet.

7. What do you want to accomplish by the end of this year?

H: Before the year of 2011 is out, I want to accomplish as many things as I can like growing as a person and a rapper. I want to put out one more mixtape before the year’s out and hopefully have a lot more fans to support my music. One thing i’m working on though is to have a home recording studio at my crib to just work and basically do what I’m doing now but on a larger scale and just building my brand with upcoming artists.
