Interview: Newark, NJ Rap Artist Beeb Discusses His New EP "The City Aint Safe"
/
“i guess the overall theme is like a warning of a movement that’s been happening. The audio clips add an extra feeling of danger and humor at the same time.”
Congratulations on the completion and release of your new album "The City Aint Safe". What was your creative process for the development of the project's songs and how did you connect with its producer Pyramid Tapes?
Honestly, frustration, lockdown and the fact I built a booth in the basement...I reached out to my homeboy one night and said man I need to rap. He hasn't stopped sending beats. Pyramid Tapes is the new moniker for Prospek, an extremely talented producer from New Orleans, label mate on THE GUERILLA PUBLISHING COMPANY and long time friend.
His ability to create the environment made it very easy to write dope shit. Our first project “Ungodly Ours” is still available everywhere. Not to mention all the other goodies that can be found on the website.
How would you say that the environment of Newark inspired the subject matters that you addressed on the album's songs?
Newark keeps the words edgy, raw. I usually write from experiences but still try to entertain a bit.
That said, is there an overall theme or concept to the album? If so, how would you describe it?
i guess the overall theme is like a warning of a movement that's been happening. The audio clips add an extra feeling of danger and humor at the same time.
Can we expect music videos for any of the tracks on the album? If not, what is next for you musically?
i wouldn't rule that out just yet, but next is Vol 2 of some sort, some new features; keep pushing.
The album features ELESPEE, PLUSH OMEGA, MOEMAW NAEDON and CALIG KONTRA; how did you determine what songs that each of them would appear on?
SOB was easy; it’s called sons of babs, elespee is my brother and I believe he recorded it on or around his birthday, that was dope.
PLUSH OMEGA, MOEMAW NAEDON and CALIG KONTRA we have all worked together before on other projects; that you should check for as well. The beats fit them well; Prospek has a good ear for that.....shouts to Pittsburgh, Ohio and New Orleans of course.
