First off, can you give some background on who you are?
I've been @ this since nineteen eighty-seven. I ran w/ DJ Speed of N.W.A so
I got too see a semi-up close view of success in the music business from some
local cats. I knew KeyKool years before the Visionaries came together, we were
in a group that never came out, thank GOD. I did much work/music w/ Circle of
Power & the Blak Forest. Then Key & I joined forces after him &
Doug Kato set up Up Above Records. Key & Rhettmatic brought in Writers Block
& 2MEX & here we are: the Visionaries...
What have
the Visionaries been up to lately?
Visionaries released PANGAEA on the twenty-fourth of February (two thousand
four) & we've been touring as big as we can to get it to the people. We
are leaving on the eighteenth of May for a month long tour of Europe.
How's this
new album different from your last one?
I feel the overall production is a step up from the last album, other than that
we just changed labels.
Why should
Heads check you?
Heads need this on the account of it being refreshing HipHop music... to all
you creatures of habit, don't be scared to try something new.
What do
you want people to hear when they hear your music?
Think whatever they want... GOD BLESS
How'd
you get your name LMNO?
When I was turning eighteen I was still going by the name Juvenile & I knew
I had to grow in many ways... one day a childhood homie yelled out JK...LMNO
(JK are my initals so all through school i've been called JK) & I knew that
was the one.
What's
it like working with the Visionaries?
It's a Blessing working w/ those cats, they have helped me in many ways.
What's
coming up got you?
OHNO & I rip through music, we actually have a whole nother album ready
to go when the time is right. We finished that before Economic Food Chain Music
came out.
How do
you want people to take your music?
I feel my music family is the future so IM Blessed to hone in w/ all the people
you hear me w/ now.
What's
good with Hip Hop now?
I Give Thanks for HipHop...
Whats the
last music you got?
The last music I got was a crate of records from this collector in Long Beach
CA (allldaayy!!!) it was a cool trade system.
