If there was ever a definition of an underground MC, this would be it. Tujay Harmoniquez has been on the South African hip hop scene for a number of years now, and has already released his first album, started his own label, recruited new underground artists and is currently working on two new releases scheduled for late 09- early 2010. Now you might be asking yourself; why am I not familiar with his music? Answer: Cos he’s too underground for ya!The UnderGround aNgLe was lucky enough to get an exclusive interview with the man himself about where he’s been, what he’s up to and what’s dropping next. Peep this.
You’ve been putting in mad studio time since you dropped 16 Bar Wire in 2008, what are you working on?
Just been hard at work with my album R18VSNL (Visual Sentences N Lyrics) and my upcoming promo titled Parental Guidance. I also been grindin’ on a couple features and projects I’m invited on; like the Lyrical Murda mixtape in London.
What’s 4Site Musik, and who are the artists affiliated with it?4Site is my label. The name was inspired by me being a visionary, but also that I one day want it to be a internet driven label strictly selling online on mobile and pc. We affiliated with Ruff Cuttz Entertainment, we actually also working on making a conglomerate called Hitmason Family which is founded by my boy Krossword(Ruff Cuttz Ent Head) and myself.
What’s your relationship with Royal Swiss Cartel (R.S.C)?
I had been looking for management for a while man... I actually tried couple people that had big promises but never followed up. When I met K-Swiss, she told me bout R.S.C and I was very interested. they'll be releasing a compilation titled 'The Vault' with artists that they’re affiliated with including me and other big names like Rashid Kay and A.K.A to name a few. That'll be also touring the album.
When can we expect R18SNVL?
Ima’ release Parental Guidance first. That'll have my 3 singles and some tracks on used beats and some that didn't make the album. So during 'The Vault' tour, I'll be giving it away for free. Once there's demand, then I'll release R18VSNL.
Who are you working with on your next project?
At the moment I’m working my homies Krossword and my artist Trey Eighty. With production, also Krossword but I’m always chatting and networking, meaning a lot of production will come through so I can’t mention everyone now.
How are you planning on getting your music out there?Mostly on the net bra, but also at gigs and Slam poetry sessions which is something I’ve recently taken on.
