Who makes up "The Company?"

D'ville, Charlie Brown & Young E

What does The Company bring to the table of the game right now?

C. Brown: A different feel of music and the ability to be diverse. I think we have the element of surprise because the game won't know what to think of this combo.

D'ville: We make music you can relate to. I think the game is missing that, plus its 2 rappers and 1 singer
Young E: We got the soul of hip hop, you got the crunk, reggaeton, pop, conscious, gangsta, etc..; We got our own movement, "Soul Hop" which is Hip-Hop from the soul. If it's hardcore, commercial, whatever. It's coming from our SOUL.

Why choose that name?

Young E: Because we all bring different things to the table. We're businessmen before recording artist and entertainers. Every company is known for something special they got. Our Brand is simply "The Company" because we want to be "The Company" you come to for that special thing you need.

What is your writing process like?

C.Brown: The Chemistry is CRAZY, you got 3 talented artists, with 3 ideas, but when you put it together you get 1 hot concept. We put the beat on and get at it; it's all about the music. We do what the beat tells us, if it's some commercial shit, or whatever It's never forced.

Who would you look to as your musical influences?

D'ville: My biggest influences are Old School heads like Stevie Wonder, "MJ", Ray Charles, then new cats like Usher, JE, 112; I've been influenced by a lot of artist.
C.Brown: Of course Banks,Kiss, Jay-Z, Biggie, Pac, Fab, Cassidy etc…all the usual dudes.
