Once the first “Jackhammer” dance video dropped with Hitta Slim and SF Music Executive JO Exotics, the vision became clear that Hitta Slim was not a name change, but a morph into something bigger, and more thought out. The Jackhammer to me represents a dance that is for the hustlers truly breaking pavement. No matter if you are a hustler in the streets, a salesman on the ground floor, a new graduate from college, The Jackhammer is nothing more than a victory dance when your standing in the end zone.

The post E-40 – I Don’t Like Em ft. Cousin Fik, Laroo appeared first on All Bay Music.

PIZZO: I got my name before I started rapping from a booking about electricity. Its actually a type of circuit or something like that. But it was just a high school nickname at that point. Fast forward when I became interested in music, there it was.

ABM: Has anything happened in your life that led to the decision of becoming a musician?

PIZZO: The interest in music itself led me to becoming a musician after taking piano lessons as a kid while living in Oakland at the time. Moms had me in recitals and all of that. But what made me want to become a artist was being directly inspired by one of my high school friends Courtney Smith (Fresh Cease) who was already recording music, and I was amazed and intrigued. Ever since that day I became a musician, and starting writing music ever since.

ABM: How did you get your start in the hip hop scene?

PIZZO: My start began when a childhood friend introduced me to his cousin who who happened to be in the process if putting AWOL Records together. My folks told his big cousin that I rap, he said bust something, so I did. He said yeah okay, Im gonna fuck with you. So I was signed to AWOL Records in 1993, and actually did almost a album that was never released. I left AWOL Records later on and signed to Strong Island, who ended up releasing my debut album “Heaterman”. After I re-signed to AWOL and put out two solo projects, along with Executive Producing The West Coast Tripping Compilation, among other records for C-Bo, Marvaless, Killa-Tay, Lunatic, Laroo, Yukmouth, and many more.

ABM: Where are you from, and what was it like growing up there?

PIZZO: Originally from the town although my moms said we spent a lil time in North Richmond when I was like 1 or something. But most of my young childhood was in Oakland. Growing up was cool I guess I went to school like any other kid. I attended Elizabeth Sherman and then frick before moving to Suison City.My mother was pretty good at keeping me away from the streets as much as she could I think piano lessons played a big part in that as well.

ABM: What do you typically rap about?

PIZZO: Nowadays I try to steer more towards giving the listener an insight to life from my perspective, whatever the subject or topic. If I’m partying or I’m trying to share some of what I think is useful information, to whoever hears it. Sometimes vague, sometimes its about something specific, either way I’ma try to paint a vivid picture.

ABM: What are your last full length releases people can go check out right now?

PIZZO: My last release was “Only God Can Judge Me”, which was released independently like 10 years ago. My newest release is “I got what work”, its out now on all digital platforms worldwide.

ABM: What are you currently working on?

PIZZO: Currently working on a collaboration album with Main 1, who is from the 408. It’s yet to be titled but will be released this summer. Also working on a solo album, scheduled for a 2018 release.

ABM: Whats your last visual release people can check out, tell us about it.

PIZZO: Last visual was “Somewhere Special”, a video about loving money more than a female, and always having money on my mind.

ABM: What is your ultimate goal at the end of your career?

PIZZO: The end game that I see is continuing to provide my talents to the game if its me working in developing other artists or video production, basically anything allowing me to be creative.

ABM: How can people reach you?

ABM: Tell us the story behind your hip hop name?

Nyesha Nicole: My name Nyesha Nicole is my government my “Real” name (lol).I have grown to love my name because of the simple fact that over the years I have gotten thousands of compliments saying how beautiful it is. Ironically however, a lot of people try to persuade me to change my name. Of course,people don’t actually call me “Nyesha Nicole” yet (lol). I go by Nee-Nee, NeeDouble, Ny and you may hear me refer to myself in my music as Nascar, because I stay on the gas literally and metaphorically.

ABM: What got you involved in the hip hop scene?

Nyesha Nicole: I am in love with music, I have been all my life. I have been rapping since elementary school. I won best rap and poem at Coronado. I was aired on local television interviewing and to say my rap “Stay In School”.I knew then I had a gift, so I kept writing and rappin off and on. I did talent shows, played instruments, and I was a Bay Area Stepper. 2014 I joined IG and the rap movement on the Gram got me juiced to test my skills. I decided to go hard on a solo song and see what it do. I hit my bro Laroo for a beat line. He plugged me with Trax FDR. Bought the beat for “REAL”, wrote the hook first,came with three 16’s and started looking for a studio. Recorded with Ant Banks Aird Out Records, he plugged me mixed and mastered it. I hit Roo again for video plug, he referred me to Cassius. Roo got my video posted on Hip Hop AveTV You Tube. When my video hit 300,000 views I was hook, line and sinker.People start hollering at me like don’t stop, keep going, the world needs to hear this shit, you dope! They lit my fire! The Success Label/Point Proven Ent.Put me on with lab time. I jumped in the booth recorded six songs real quick and started featuring with Phantom on a beat from TC and beats from The Grump.Right now I got a hot beat from Just Quality and two fire beats from Smackz I’m working on dropping real soon.

ABM: Where are you from and what was it like growing up there?

Nyesha Nicole: I’m from Richmond California, growing up there was survival of the fittest. The streets are a war zone and hustle is mandatory. My family came to Cali from Texas so my roots have always been different. I had to build and outer shell to cope with the hard knock life and streets of “The Rich”. I grew up living with my grandma, my mommy and my brother. My dad has always been in and out the Feds since I was born, he getting out this year after doing 11years. By 24 I had lost my mommy and my grandma and a couple years later my brother was murdered in Richmond. I lost so much…my loved ones, that its bittersweet.

ABM: What do you typically rap about?

Nyesha Nicole: I typically rap about getting money, being Real, Solid,staying focused, female shit, love, things that are bothering me and things that I feel people need to know.

ABM: What inspires you to be an artist? Who are your early influences?

Nyesha Nicole: What really inspires me is listening to music! When I hear a good song I feel it so deeply and it does so much for my soul its healing. WhenI hear beats that go crazy I want to write to it. Every artist from the Bay moving inspires me to keep pushin! My early influences are Too Short, E40, MacDre, Tupac, Hot Boys, Trina, Lil Kim, C.I.N., Philthy Phil. Today I am inspired mostly by Nicki Minaj and Dej Loaf, have me ready to go jump in the booth!
