Smigg Dirtee 619 say it backwards
When I first met Smigg Dirtee “he changed my life” hahaha (I always tease him about this) we was at the “Yadada Movie” shoot and I was getting a shout out from him on my camcorder. He said “what company are you with?” I said “sydeways” and he said “no your not I know sydeways and your not it” and I said “well we are different” and then he said “yeah!? Well change your name” lol and so within a week I changed my company name to Supa Savy Ent.
Smigg Dirtee a Sacramento native now resides in San deigo. He’s on his grind tough and has many projects in the works. I got the chance to talk to him about the projects coming up and he answered some questions submitted to me from fans.
Me:
Hey smigg dirtee… how are things going with you?
Smigg Dirtee:
Things are wonderful.. duh..
Me:
Lol okay! What’s new? Any new projects in the works?
Smigg Dirtee:
Actually, I’ve never had as many projects in the works before. First off, I got my website http://www.onlikeshit.com where I do a free mixtape series called “My Team Got Work” with myself and other artist I work hands on with, Nov 1st I’ll be doin part two of my daily song series, where I write, record & upload a song a day for 21 days straight, everything is done on the spot from nov 1st – nov 21st, also….. I just teamed up with a power house indie label out of San Diego, and just finished a DJ Skee mixtape together with artist I-Rocc, Dago Braves & El Cajon Tez coming soon called DJ Skee presents “Are We There Yet” and Smigg Dirtee & DJ Skee “Tell Yo Bitch To Come Here” vol1. And then, I just rapped up an album with San Diego producer Dave Moss called “Onlikeshit.com” which feats X-Raided, T-Nutty, Young Droop, Mistah Fab, Doey Rock, Laroo, John Brown, Bleezo, J-Kwon, Mack Twon, I-Rocc, & more. Plus workin on projects for my Teamwork artist Boog & Mack Twon.. done
Me:
Dang! You are on your grind tough! Onlikeshit.com tell me a little more about the website. Is there more than mixtapes? What can people expect on the site?
Smigg Dirtee:
The website will pretty much tell you everything that’s going on with me and the artist I work hands on with, I say “work hands on with” cuz some artist aren’t signed to me but I still put whatever I can in new artist I believe in no matter where they decide to go to pursue their career, such as Young Rebz out of Richmond Ca, and others, but basically http://www.onlikeshit.com will have up new videos, blogs etc, so my supporters can keep up with what’s goin on wit me….
Me:
That’s wats up! My boy had got your last mixtape and said it was the best mixtape out this year so far! That’s big… what can people expect from the up coming mixtapes? And when are they droppin?
Smigg Dirtee:
That’s wassup, they can expect me to TRY to get that same reaction out of everybody who hears these up coming mixtapes and albums, I try to seperate the sound of my mixtapes and albums, so they can always get something different, and grow eachtime, not too different, because its still me but make people not feel like they’re gettin the samething with each project, the DJ Skee mixtapes should both be out before the end of the year..
Me:
when is your next solo droppin? Have you started working on it?
Smigg Dirtee:
“Onlikeshit.com” the album is a solo, but kinda like a compilation, I have a feat. With me on every song, and that should be out by the end of the year aswell, then I’ve started on my main solo album called “Bonita’s Boy” (my mothers name) and I have no idea when its gonna drop, I’m takin my time with this one, cuz my goal is to have it compared to Jay-z’s Blueprint, lol, kinda farfetched but shit, imma try.
Me:
That’s wats up! For the solo/compilation, who can we expect on it?
Smigg Dirtee:
Mostly a lot of artist from Sac, San Diego & the Bay, all places I’ve lived in, I have Laroo, T-Nutty, Brotha Lynch, COS, G Macc, Big June, I-Rocc, Doey Rock, Mistah Fab, T-Nutty, Young Droop, Bleezo, Sav Judah, Devious, Beeda Weeda, J. Stalin, Balance, Guce, John Brown from the White Rapper show, J-Kwon (tipsy), Max B (free max b), Juice Lee, Poodeezy of the Dago Braves, Young Sau, Dubble R, Baby Bandit, Boog and my group The A-Team & I can’t think of whoelse.
Me:
Being a sacramento native, do you have any artists out here that are your favorite or that you slap their music often?
Smigg Dirtee:
There is a lot of Sac artists that I like right now, I fuc with Bueno, G-Macc, Sav Sicc & Bleezo, Flossalini, Lil Retro, my group Sav Tree & a lot others
Me:
Earlier you posted on twitter that you might leak a diss? What’s that about? You’re like one of the only niggas I NEVER hear anyone speak badly upon…
Smigg Dirtee:
yeah, I really don’t have anything anyone can speak bad on me about, unless they are just flat out hatin, id like to believe I’m pretty solid across the board, as for the diss… lol. No comment
Me:
Awwwww! No comment? You sure? Lol
Smigg Dirtee:

Me:

Smigg Dirtee:

Oh.. Dirteeboy@gmail.com contact or myspace http://www.myspace.com/smiggdirtee
Me:
Question: Brandon Wilson from Antelope asks: “Is he plannin on making another tonight show an why cant i find the second tonight show ?”
Smigg Dirtee:
Yes I will be doin another tonite show, probably will be doin a few, were also gonna be doin the Bluez Brotherz Tonite show, me and i-rocc. The reason why people can’t find part 2, which to me is waaaaay better than the 1st one, is because its digital only, you can find it on itunes. I was like the first nigga to do a Tonite Show, I think Fab’s came out 1st tho.
Me:
I have another question from @prettiesexi on twitter: “ask him how he feels about the groupie blog” [I posted a blog about groupies on certifiablydefined.blogspot.com]
Smigg Dirtee:
I haven’t seen it, but I don’t see anything wrong with groupies.. my babys mom is a groupie
Me:
Omg! Smigg you a foo! Lol
Me:
Thanx for answering the questions! And thanx for taking the time out to interview with me Smigg! Much appreciated!

2009 MIXTAPE ARTIST OF THE YEAR: ROCCETT
2009 MIXTAPE ARTIST OF THE YEAR: ROCCETT!
How many mixtapes would you say you see a quarter? Hundreds right? How many would you say are from the west coast? Hundreds… okay… how many are dope? How many do you slap on a regular basis? When you think of mixtapes you probably think of Demolition Men, Dj Fresh, or Balance… especially if you are from northern california. Well Roccett got some of the dopest mixtapes out. And has such a buzz goin on for himself he got named “Mixtape Artist of the Year.” He has pushes out some of the best mixtapes like “West in Full”, “I am Roccett” and his latest “Another Day, Another Dolla” with Dj Scream. I got the pleasure of interviewing Roccett. We discussed the west coast, Young Jeezy and much more.
Roccett is very humble, entusiastic and a hard worker! Always on his grind. Never letting minor things set him back. Like Fab says “The Grind is a terrible thing to waste” and Roccett stays GRINDIN.
What’s new going on with Roccett?
ROCCETT: Really just grinden, in the studio recording, city to city doing shows, making it happen. I got a few new projects I am working on, so getting them ready also
So you are from southern california. How in SoCal has influenced you?
ROCCETT: Yeah I am from Carson. My environment has influenced me because I make music about what I have lived or experienced. Who has influenced me? The Pac’s, Snoop, Cube, etc, but honestly Jay Z, Nas Outkast, etc have also influenced me.. I don’t just make music for the West Coast, I make my music for the world
I asked this in one of my previous interviews. They say the west coast is the west coast is dead. Do you believe that… and if so who do you think can bring it back?
ROCCET: Nah the West Coast isnt dead. We active.. I know Roccett is active, city to city, on the grind. There a lot of talent out here, we just city, on the grind. There a lot of talent out here, we just gotta push to get it on national spotlight. I am always gonna play my part and rep the west, so if that means im bringing it bacc about others or what others think.
I am from Sacramento, and I see a divison of artists and music all the time and music all the time in northern cali. Is it like that iin SoCal?…
ROCCETT: Yeah we got young artists out here in Southern California, we got a scene, a movement, whatever u wanna call it. I try and make movement, whatever u wanna call it. I try and make sure my movement expands outside of the state outside of the country to be real. But LA def got its artists like the Bay
Are there any artists from northern california that you would like to work with?
ROCCETT: Mistah Fab, Cell Ski, and Keak are the homies so I def work with them. Beyond that, E 40 and To Short cuz they Legends. Anyone with quality music, I am with it..
You are young! Born in 1983 just a year older than me. Do you get a lot of love from the older folks in the game?
ROCCETT: . Yeah I have been able to work with a lot of older artists or people that been in the game a while. I have worked with Akon, Jeezy, and most of the other top artists etc and I get respect, because they respect my grind and grind and my music
I know you get asked all the time what happened between you and Jeezy, do between you and Jeezy, do you wanna touch on that?…
ROCCETT: I just felt it was time too really just do me. My movement is Get Your Green Up. I felt Jeezy really wasn’t focused on being a CEO, putting out an artist, or following the formula too successfully break an artist As a As a man, I felt I couldn’t do the sidekicc homeboy thing, I really make music cuz I love to make music and I need too put my all into my career. I play to win and me and my team focused on winning
ROCCETT EPK “IAM ROCCETT”
When you make music who do you try to relate to? Everyone? Do you have a target audience?
ROCCETT: I make music from the heart, I talk about whats rea and I know others respect and can relate too whats and I know others respect and can relate too whats real. My audience is the world and everybody in it. I feel I make music that everyone can relate too, my music music is diverse, each time im in the studio I can do records that are different than the next day because my that are different than the next day because my emotions change on the daily. So if today I feel like talking about partying or women, that’s the type of record u will record u wil get, but if tommorrow I am going through a struggle, or I lose a homie, etc u will get a record that reflects those feelings
You just released the mixtape “Another day Another Dolla” with Dj Scream and was voted Mixtape Artist of the Year. What’s next for you?
