Rich From The Pole (Zach Richardson)- Chicago made born and raised in Rogers Park on the North side of Chicago (from the pole) was raised in a one parent home living into a grateful existence. You can hear in the music an attitude of motivation, pain and progression. His biggest influence growing up was his mother as she looked out for him. He started hooping early and started playing basketball at 4 years old. After a few wrist injuries he grew more into hiphop and music, which he considers, a “a blessing from God”

Originality is THE QUALITY we seek before creating an Artist Snapshot on our blog.  We work to find artists with unique capabilities, style, and sound; We respect the hustle and people with " RareFlavr "

 #rareflavr #RF

 Pop-culture typically has a common theme with music and what makes a "hit".

Our goal is to find artists who sound nothing like what's trending and are in it to make dope music without copying style. 

Artists who create content for what they think is cool rather than what's "trending" is what it's all about

The great thing about social media is that we are able to network with creatives all over the world. We value rare artists who create their own path and work hard to enhance their skills.

Recently, we had the opportunity to interview an intelligent Artist @MyNxggaE and asked him to share some knowledge, music, and gain some perspective on the industry and social awareness #share #rareflavr

IT ALL STARTS WITH INFLUENCE

"yea I've always had an interest in art and the overall creative process. As a kid I did oil painting, wrote short stories, played a few instruments (drums, cornet, sax). As I got older I got really into graphic design, photography. The biggest influence on me artistically is probably a combination of Langston Hughes and John Coltrane. Jazz was awe inspiring to me as a kid; the complexity, the unpredictability, it was truly soulful music. Thats what got me into playing sax. I got a big ass book of Langston Hughes poetry when I was in high school that man was truly a prolific writer defining social awareness. In a more modern sense Kanye has been HUGE for me. His work with the MPC is forever an inspiration to my production and arrangement. "

GEOGRAPHY

" No actually I was not born and raised in St. Louis. Both my parents are Jamaican. I was actually born in Milwaukee and grew up all over the country (WI, OH, MD, CA) to name a few; I actually went to 3 different high schools in 4 years. But I've been in STL for about 10 years now and it's played a very instrumental role in my social awareness. St. Louis has such a rich and storied black history from the ville and kinloch, historically strong black communities that survived segregation era to the harsh realities of East St. Louis, and the racial injustices plaguing the north city as well as St. Louis County in areas like Ferguson. And this is a history that is not singular to St. Louis but rather something I saw in Baltimore, Chicago, DC, NYC, etc. all across the country as I grew up; Black communities struggling to survive while in search of the American dream. " 

MENTORS, INSPIRATION, INTERESTS, AND INSTRUMENTS

"My musical influences are always changing depending on what music I'm currently fixating on, I think it's my ADD at work. Right now I'm on a synths kick so Devonte Hynes, Majid Jordan, Ryan Hemsworth; but overall Future, Pharrell, Drake, George Clinton, Linkin Park, J-Dilla, and Erykah Badu. The artist that speaks to me the most in music is by far Kanye West; watching him journey from college burnout backpack rapper to media mogul and all the bumps is between is inspiring; his producer/rapper/brand model changed not only the music industry but the fashion industry as well. Musically I feel like Kanye always exemplified what first peaked my interest in hip-hop, the complexity in the musical arrangements to the level of full classical compositions. Lyrically Kanye has always been both deeply personal and yet socially and culturally aware which is a difficult balance in the climate of the early 2000s.

PRODUCTION/EQUIPMENT/INFLUENCE

"Yea I started producing because I kinda have an obession with "cloud rap" like an other world production sound; I absolutely love my Akai MPC Studio best piece of equipment in my studio (even though I do have an MPC Live still working out the kinks the learning curve is crazy). I use my numark mixtrack controller for some chops. I usually do my own masters so i got my jbl monitors, steinberg audio interface, rode nt1 cuz rode mics are amazing for low resonating vocals, my bass guitar, and a fender amp for extra bass. As a Virgo I always favor the here and now over the past, I draw a lot of inspiration from 70s funk, 80s synths, 90s boom bap, but the music that speaks to me the most is the music I'm listening to now. Princess Nokia, Northeast Party House, The Neighborhood, NxWorries, Kaytranada, Steve Lacy, Smino, SZA, and Ravyn Lenae "

LIVE SHOWS, ENTERTAINMENT, STAGE PRESENCE, STUDIO SESSIONS

" Showcase Tour hit me up, I think they found my info on reverbnation. It was an amazing opportunity for an artists showcase, a nation-wide tour, but each stop being filled with 10+ Local Artists. The show was amazing first time I've performed since I had my first child so I was a bit nervous, but once I got on stage it was all muscle memory lol. I do everything I can to bring my audience into those late night studio sessions with me, so I chose tracks that I think translate well atmospherically. I am always impressed by the energy of live rock shows so I do all my vocals live no backing track, give the crowd something that sticks with them, memorialize the moment. Low-Key I'm cooking up on adding live elements to the song arrangement too (reference that MPC Live I mentioned earlier) and I've been working with a jazz fusion band of late so new things are coming soon. My favorite track to perform is probably That's My Nxgga Prod by @vaughnvibes. The beat has that classic boom bap/J-Dilla feel so it seems perfect to recreate the energy of The Get Down that I was obsessing over at the time I first heard the beat. It has some good call and response portions to get the crowd involved and then showcases my lyrical ability and range well. Yea I'm glad you caught the easter egg of The Store Run; it was a track I made inspired by the nostalgia of me and my less reputable cousins stepping out during thanksgiving to hit the "store run" and come back eyes redder than the devil is and ready to eat lmao. So it was just something creative to commemorate the season; I like making tracks that are real conceptual sometimes. I produced the beat and then just freestyled in rounds like how you take turns spitting over the radio in the car during the hotbox. "

My Nxgga E - "We Jammin" Black Friday Cypher @ 2720 Cherokee St Louis, MO

PERSONAL BRANDS/ UPCOMING PROJECTS

"Negus is my own creation a combination of lifestyle brand and multimedia company. It represents my internal struggle for identity as a black man in America. Negus is the amharic word for king a or a god a title given to rules of Ethiopia the only African country to not be colonized; however it also phonetically is pronounced much like niggas the racial epithet meant to strip black people of the value in our ancestral heritage. Negus is actually the name of my next project, a self produced EP slated to drop this summer. I've been working on this project for 2-3 years now so I've been teasing about it in visuals and making merch to self-fund production costs. The Champion collaboration I did with Negus for the Store Run/Thank You hoodies was just extra sauce cause the track felt like it fit the season so well I needed something to physically commemorate the experience. "

ADVICE FOR YOUNG ARTISTS, STAGE PRESENCE

" Honestly repetition is the father of all learning. I think practicing your material constantly allowing your music to become just muscle memory is key. I treat the lyrics almost like a mantra, reminding myself of the feeling and emotions that I poured into the music so that i can best portray them in my delivery. I'd also say that working the stage is key; having an understanding of how to have good stage presence can go a long way. Negus was made for live shows so while I do have video treatments formulating for a few of the songs, my first step is to bring the material to a live audience likely through a listening session our live showcase this summer in conjunction with the projects release. "

FUTURE OF MUSIC

"The future of music looks bright I see the elements of hip-hop being rearranged not only by the popularity of EDM but also due to the rise of urban contemporary music. I think groups like NxWorries give rebirth to atmospheric hip hop, the latest class of MPC producers (Kaytranada, Sango, Knxwledge) are proof that the legacy of JDilla lives and breathes in a newer generation. The future of the music industry however is on an interesting path. For better or worse the culture IS changing. The release of music has been drastically effected by the success of streaming platforms. Despite the best attempts at combating the diminishing market such as Beyonce Lemonade album releasing with no marketing seemed to only slowed the inevitable; and thus new platforms, and business models must be built. Fashion has always been an important outlet for musicians to display their creativity but the collaboration strategy has given what was mostly a marketing strategy real teeth allowing for strong gains for brands like adidas, supreme and puma putting their product in front of larger audiences and giving them access to a greater range of materials to create from.

Artist Snapshot: LARCIN (@_LARCIN_)

INSTAGRAM @RAREFLAVR . photo @_larcin_

From Poland to the U.S.A. @_Larcin_ is a hip-hop artist that has a unique personality and story. Larcin was originally born in Poland and came to the USA when he was 8 years old and moved three times before finally settling in in Park Ridge IL with his family. He has been associated with music his entire life. He began playing piano at 10 years old and sang in his Church Choir until he was 16 years old. During his teenage years he also picked up guitar. 

@_Larcin_ on Instagram

He started writing rhymes when he was 16-17 years old and At 17, he was arrested for possession of weed and was sent to Cook County.   The administration at Cook forgot to input his bail, So he had to stay in jail for 4 days. Although he has had some challenges along the way, there is still music to be made and we took some time to learn about his motivation and upcoming projects. 

In the beginning, Larcin wrote raps on his phone until one of his friends @SAPA INCA took him to the studio.  About 6 months ago he started to think of rap names. That is where LARCIN was created. Before that, his first rap name was herb-- all of his close friends called him HERB from ages 12 and at 19 changed it to MARCIN The dream and at 22 LARCIN.

More Recently, the projects he's working on is an ep called, "Life Aint What it Seems"EP that is coming out in mid February with Features from brewski, sapa inc and blunt gutta.

 

Larcin was raised by polish parents who are very against drugs and very religoius but very musical.  His influence comes from first ever rap D12 my band and 50 cent in the club then fell in love with hiphop and rap. He has been expanding his musical ear ever since but lover of 90s and 2000s rap the most. 

He mentioned he listens to alot of Jim Rohn who is a motivational speaker and who has a lot of inspiration in his life. and gets a lot of inspiration looking for and listening to people and see how their lives everyone has traveled a different journey and it's cool to see where they came from.

"i try to be original but i love different kinds of music not just rap i listen to a little bit of everything except country" -larcin

What do you look for in music what do you appreciate the most that most people take for granted?

"I look to make something that can catch people's ear something that can get stuck in people's heads so they come back and listen to it again and have that tune in their head all day long! I try to appreciate the little things and be happy with what i have now because i know that so many people in the world have it so much worse than me. My favorite quote,"its better to be prepared for an opportunity and not have one, then to have an opportunity and not be prepared"- Whitney Young

 

"Behind Larcin is just a kid that's trying to leave a mark in the world and help as many people as I can to get where they want to get in life."- Larcin

What to expect next coming weeks

The "Life ain't what it seems ep" with features from brewski and sapa inca and blunt gutta and a couple of singles dropped after the ep.

What was the music scene like for you growing up in Texas? What got you influenced into music? Any Specific band, movie, etc? 

"The Music Scene for us is very diverse. We have a strong Rock, Soul, and Hip-Hop influence so I grew up on things like UGK and ZZ Top which is a crazy combo lol. My dad played guitar, harmonica, and sang so I always had music all around me. My favorite artist is Jay-Z and favorite producer is Timbaland so watching those two made my inspiration go through the roof. All my friends were getting into rapping or different things so I just kinda naturally slid into making beats. " - Trakksounds

We noticed you've worked with some big named rappers and singers. What was that transition looking like starting from making beats in High School to featuring artists like 2 Chainz and Scarface?

"Man it kinda just started happening because i was so persistent on the internet. I was hitting people every day like let me send beats, let me send beats, let me send beats lol. Eventually the 2 Chainz placement happened and I just kept at it. Every little placement opened the doors for my big placements and I worked with a lot of up and comers before my first big track so I was just staying patient because I could feel it coming"

- Trakksounds

That's sick persistence was the key. Is your studio set up in Houston? Do you do a home studio or somewhere you rent out or someone you know own a studio? Or mostly remote traveling w/ your studio? 

"I have a home studio and a like office studio called IMIX Studios that I bring clients to and did a lot of my biggest tracks there in Houston." - Trakksounds

Nice what is your favorite Kit to use? Drums trumpets, organs, 808's etc and why? Also, what types of equipment is essential for a successful session?"  

"My favorite kits are probably my own that I make from random sounds lol. I have all types of random equipment in sessions from keyboards, guitars, talkboxes, percussion, etc. But gotta have a keyboard only mainly and I can make it happen. I can even use my laptop keyboard and make some tracks."

- Trakksounds

On Trakksound's YouTube Channel, he not only showcases tracks he has made but also a glimpse into the actual creative process. If you are interested in learning about that creative process check out his YouTube Channel Here. As well as a quick "The Other Side Documentary" 

What would you say is some important advice for aspiring producers and young artists? What has been a key to your success? 

"I would be ready to do a lot of unpaid or way below what  you think is your value because at this point you have to build your name as a producer as much as an artist and brand yourself. " - Trakksounds

Artist Snapshot: SWITCH (@SWITCHSB_)

via @rareflavr on instagram

" I TOLD EVERYONE MY PLAN AND THEY DIDN'T UNDERSTAND"  RAPPER 'SWITCH' SNAPPIN ON THE MIC!

  Luke Thornton Also known as 'Switch is a dope rapper who drops BARS. We had the opportunity to interview Switch and get familiar w/ the music he's put out and the current project he dropped this week on 4/10/2017. Switch is an island emcee from Vancouver Island, British Colombia in Canada. He has been rapping since he was about 12 years old and has been using rap & Hiphop as a canvas for art ever since. "He has performed with numerous artists including Mob Depp, SNAK the Ripper, Bender of Flight Distance, Merkules, MadChild, SonReal, EvilEbenezer, the Outlawz, R.A. the RuggedMan, AlphaOmega, MOKA Only and TOUCH. To date, he has performed at 107 events" (Facebook.com/SwitchMusic1992)

We had the opportunity to listen to tracks by Switch & Morgan Murray on bandcamp and also thru some 42 tracks dropped on Switch's Soundcloud. Freshley, switch has gravitated to the sounds of dark boom-bap type beats as well as hiphop beats. These are mostly beats produced  by Phil Script out of Houston, TX as well as Yeshintae out of California. 

Switch

More recently he has had problems w/ Drug addiction going in and out of rehab from drug use. Even though he has been thru tough times with the addiction disease, he has used this struggle to be expressed in his music. Addiction sweeps the world in our youth and it it can be tough to overcome- HIs next LP, Substance Abuse Dropped April 10th, 2017 includes his battle w/ drug addiction and the depth it goes into understanding human beings and our race itself .

Rareflavr asked, " Switch what can we expect from Substance Abuse? "

"Truth. I really wanted to speak on some shit that is often glorified I wanted to put it out in a different light, cuz wasn't shit glorious about it na mean. It's an everyday struggle, addiction is a disease and it kills millions, im blessed to be here, i still gotta work at it but i'm lucky i'm still breathing and this album some of it was written before treatment in treatment and after so it's a pretty crazy project I'm happy with it and I know anyone who's ever suffered like I have or anyone who knows someone who struggles with addiction will relate, it's the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth" (RareFlavr/Switch Interview)

There is substance in the music and you can tell Switch has developed as an artist and producing more quality music.  Substance Abuse is about all the drugs he has had to deal w/ and all of the problems / upsides/ downsides of living that lifestyle. We can all learn as human beings everyday and dealing w/ one another &  what we've heard from Switch is realness making him a dope MC. If you are reading this and have the opportunity..Please share this ArtistSnapShot & visit The social media pages of Switch. Listen, Like, Share, Follow, and comment on the content he has released especially the release on April 10th, 2017 with Substance Abuse.

Artist Snapshot: BOBBY BODEGA (@BOBBY.BODEGA)

Live From Morris Heights Website- Click Image to Visit

Bobby Bodega (@bobby.bodega) artist and musician born x raised in the Bronx, New York recently caught our attention as a voice and musician in the music industry that will not go unnoticed. Born and raised in the Bronx New York, Bobby has been molded by the people of his neighborhood hence the title of his branded website ( www.LiveFromMorrisHeights.com ). We asked him some questions to learn about himself as an artist, "Any Particular point in time you decided to take music more seriously? "  Bodega responded, "I kinda just fell into it, I didn't have music growing up other than listening to my pops playing Bob Marley on Saturday mornings. I started to use it as an outlet when I got older and took the opportunity to focus on doing something bigger than myself.. It's amazing the power of music has and how it allows you to connect with people you probably would have never met before". Bob comes up with song ideas mostly while in transit, but produces most all of his music organically in direct collaboration with his producers in the studio including the production group called Audio Never Dies.  He has two professionally released projects on his website: one 'Character's Welcome' and two 'Live From Morris Heights'. Most of the products used in the production process he mentioned are Abelton, Super 55 Microphone,  Yamaha Monitors Hs5's, and uses Dr. Dre Beat Headphones for personal use. Some upcoming clothing brands he mentioned also are Sherman Preston and Terry Winston. The success of his music has encouraged Live performance opportunities not only at SOBS and Mercury Lounge, but also has opened for PUSHA-T at a notable show at St. John's University. The overall goal for @bobby.bodega is to make good music people can relate to and put his city on the map and fall into people's Top 5 conversation. Also, his major goal is to build up and get a show at the Madison Square Garden and sell out a show. This artist has a unique soulful sound combined with deep lyrics. We highly encourage you to visit his website, browse, as well as listen to both projects he has released! Make sure you drop some comments and shares, and please provide comments below for feedback on the movement.
