CHICAGO UNSIGNED HYPE INTERVIEW W/ BOO STILLA
Chicago Est.1837 Recently Caught Up With Rising Artist "Boo Stilla"
1. Introduce yourself & what you stand for as an artist.
This Boo Stilla AKA Mr.Morning After.As a artist I always stood for Loyalty Trust and Hustling. With those three you can never go wrong unless you lose one of those things. Im big on family and having a small inner circle. When i record i like to record in peace. I guess thats why i went and bought my own studio equipment and learned everything myself. Recording music to me is like how Larry Bird use to go to the gym hours before a game or a practice and shoot around trying to perfect every angle of his game. This is something that i just love to do! 2. What inspired you to become a serious about your craft? For me as far as inspiration my deceased brother Gerald AKA "Chicken" raped in front of me a couple times and i just was shocked and amazed at how good he was. I was young like 10-11. I couldn't believe he actually wrote a song Lol... He never liked school and i never seen him do homework so for him to write a song,remember it, and rap it was crazy to me. I always looked up to him....So from that point on i was hooked. I wrote music secretly and never told nobody. I kind of kept it to myself until the day i thought i was good enough or til i thought i had it down pack like my brother did. 3. Rather dead or alive what artist would be a dream collaboration for you? Fabolous! 4. How do you deal with writers block? I don't get writers block no more. I use to tho. Now I understand the meaning of being inspired and chaneling that inspiration into a song. I search for inspiration then i create. 5. Any projects, singles or videos we should be on the lookout for this year? Yeah my next project is gonna be The Morning After PT.2. I just recently dropped a single called "All These Bands On Me' Prod by. KENKBEATS thats on Soundcloud and Youtube. You can also download my single featuring Billionaire Black called "Carlos" on Spotify, Itunes, and Amazon music. Im shooting a video for "All These Bands On Me' and thats dropping late June 2015- early July 2015. So be on the look out! 6. Where do you see yourself within this industry 3-5 years from now? I see myself being the #1 Hip Hop Recording Artist in the United States.
