Interview: New York Based Rapper Tattooey Talks About His New Song "Nasty Thing"
Congratulations on the release of your new track "Nasty Thing". Tell us about your creative process for its development and how you connected with the producer DOREBEATS?
I don’t really remember the writing process for this track in particular, but it’s been in my back pocket for a while.
When I write a song, what I usually do is find a beat I like, write a song to it, then almost always change the beat to something I like way more, which was the case for “Nasty Thing”.
To be honest I’ve never connected with DOREBEATS. It’s like impossible to get in touch with these producers sometimes, well from my experience at least, so I found the beat on YouTube, and bought it off the website. Every time I try to contact these guys, it’s no bueno for me, but hey, wont stop me from trying.
Can we expect a music video for "Nasty Thing" to follow and will it be featured on an upcoming EP or album?
A video for “Nasty Thing”, uhh I don't think so, doubt it, but def expect a video for my new song “G League” or another song of mine called “Everybody Here”.
Album? EP? right now? Hell nah, lmao, listen I have like 4 followers on SoundCloud and like 100+ followers on instagram. I have to make a song that catches on first before I even think of putting out projects.
How would you describe the scene for rap music where you are located, especially for emerging artists?
Well I’m from the Bronx and I currently live in Rockland County. The music scene here is crazy, ok so if you live in Rockland County, and if your under 30 years old, you’re a rapper making music. POINT BLANK.
As 2020 is winding down, what are some of your goals musically for the remainder of the year, heading into 2021?
My goals is to work extremely hard! Get a viral song, and blow the fuck up!
What are some things that inspire you to create the music that you do, and to take your artistry and music brand to the next level of success?
I’ll tell you right now WHO inspires me, Noah, Abi, Juju, and Izzy. Those are my 4 children! They inspire me to do what I love, I will be great for them, I want them to be proud of me!
