Interview: Twn Chxppa Discusses His DOPE New Single "Rude!"
/
“To me, seeing my friends go in the booth and rap seemed fun, so I tried it for a verse on one of my friend’s songs and even though it wasn’t the best verse at all, it brought a sense of excitement for me to keep at it.”
Salute to you on the release of your new single "Rude!"; it is a great track. What initially inspired you to write the song, and who produced it?
So the track is produced by heydium and my inspiration for creating this song was to go and make a summer vibe. From initially listening to the beat before writing to it, I knew this could be a song that people could cruise and vibe to on a sunny summer day.
With "Rude!" now unveiled, can we expect a music video to follow, or will you be dropping another track next?
So I'm always working on new music nowadays but I do have a music video planned for "Rude!" and it is actually an animated music video.
You're not just an emerging artist on the rise, but a published author as well. Tell us about your book, "When the Time Comes", and what you are most proud of with this literary piece.
So my book is about a young teen discovering his family lineage to an alternate planet in which he is told he has been chosen to protect the entire universe from an evil threat. I think what I'm most proud of with the novel is that I was able to represent myself and the troubles I've had with mental health throughout the years, through the main character AJ to bring awareness towards prioritizing mental health especially in black and brown people.
What specifically was it about attending your friends' recording sessions that motivated you to pick up the pen and pad and start creating your own music?
To me, seeing my friends go in the booth and rap seemed fun, so I tried it for a verse on one of my friend's songs and even though it wasn't the best verse at all, it brought a sense of excitement for me to keep at it.
Especially since you really just began recording music, do you have any goals musically that you want to achieve for the rest of 2022?
I would say that my main goal is to get better and to develop a unique sound so that I can stand out from other artists.
