FANBOYMAG Interviews: The 6th Letter

Thursday, September 22nd, 2011

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.
