Roscoe Dash Interview: Part 1







I had the opportunity to interview Roscoe Dash about two months ago.  We spoke about his whereabouts in the last couple of years and the new music he was working on for his new project.  This interview definitely gave me a new perspective on Roscoe Dash as an artist but also Roscoe Dash the person. Check out Part 1 of this interview below.   
He is also on his Where's Roscoe?: Fcuk Yo Party Season 2 Tour [dates below]


Q: How does it feel to know you made such a huge impact on the Hip-Hop game at such a young age?  Because I remember my freshman year of college all the DJs were playing your music. 

A: Well first thank you for that.  It feels great anytime you have an accomplishment so I never really put a timeline on anything.  I don’t really put a timeline on my music either because it takes you back to the fun times in your life. So that is what my motive is: I try to have fun making music and in-turn allow other people to have fun through the music as well. 

Q: What was the first expensive thing you bought?

A: Um, I would have to say my car.  I went and got a M5 BMW and there was only like 100 or 150 of them in the world and I actually bought it for my mom.  We had matching beamers for like a year and a half.

Q:  I’ve listened to The Glitch and you have a lot of notable names on here like Curren$y, Waka Flocka, Cyhi da Prince, and Juvenile. So how do you go about getting those features?

A:  It depends. With different people have I different relationships with, so Waka and me started around the same time and from around the same area and that’s actually one of my friends.  So every time I see him it’s the same situation.  So for people like him it’s just a phone call.  Other times I might walk in on someone’s session or they might walk in on mine…it’s all about vibes. 

Q: Are you nervous about coming back out after you took this break from music?  Do you regret taking that break?

A:  I wouldn’t say I’m nervous. I would say more like…I have really bad anxiety, I’m a perfectionist.  I have really bad anxiety when it comes to wanting to fulfill what my vision is because my vision changes so much.  So I might have a song on my laptop that has been there for a really long time and when I did it, it was done, and then I’ll go back and mess with it some more.  


Q: Music has changed so much since you’ve been out.  Do you listen the radio to draw inspiration from those artists? How does that go?

A:  I don’t listen to the radio that.  I listen to XM more than regular radio and even if with that it’s a hit or miss. There are more people who are not as notable to the public that I actually enjoy more than mainstream artists. For instance do you know the dude Belly who has a song with The Weeknd?

Q: No I haven’t.

A: It’s one of those sleeper records and the guy has actually has some bars.  I’m a really big fan on music as a whole and I grew up listening to Luther Vandross, Lauryn Hill, just a different group of people.  

Stay Tuned for Part II
