Nfinit3

Where are you from?

I’m originally from the panhandle of West Virginia but I have been residing in Winchester, VA, what I consider an extended locale of the DC/DMV area, for many years now.

What do you do besides music?

I definitely express myself through the arts, which does include this whole musical movement. I write poetry and do a little designing as well. I actually went to college for Graphic Design. Outside of that, I work as an activities coordinator/art teacher/counselor at a facility for neglected, abused and low functioning children. Its quite an experience.

What do you love and hate about the music industry?

This is a serious question ha ha…well. I’d have to say I love the fact that those who paved the way and presented us with the real, meaningful hip-hop are still around and still putting out products and promoting worthwhile material. People like Nas, Jay-Z, De La Soul, Pete Rock, Big Daddy Kane, KRS One (to name a few), they’re all still actively trying to educate folks on what this whole genre is supposed to mean and be about. Furthermore, there are artists in the new age who are still putting out good music. The underground stays abuzz with a lot of talent. Some are getting the shine they deserve, others are content with where they are and who’s listening to them.

On the flip side, I hate that the industry is flooded with a lot of nonsense. I’m far from a hater, but when I turn on the radio or the television I’m just not impressed or interested in what I hear and see. Its rare to hear someone saying something of significance these days. Like I said before, you have to go elsewhere to hear what you want to hear. I don’t even use the radio in my car anymore. I keep the ipod fresh and uptodate with what I consider hiphop.

What/who inspired you to become an artist?

While I was in college I started to develop a niche/feel for what I enjoyed. My inspiration started with 9th Wonder, Little Brother and Kanye West. Then I discovered the work of J. Dilla and decided to educate myself on Preemo and Pete Rock. It was like heaven to my ears.

Who have you worked with or would like to work with?

As far as who I’ve worked with, I’ve had several artists who have local notariety in their respective areas. That list includes Bucky Dolla, Range da Messenga and P. Genz. Most notably, I’ve worked with Phocuz who is a Justus League/Hall of Justus affiliate.

I’ve been itching to get some artists that I respect, musically and personally, on my next mixtape. I’d love to have Royce da 5′9, Jean Grae, Sean Price, Wale, Marky, Oddisee and Freeway all involved in my next installment of my Track Sessions Series…along with the folks who I’ve been working with. You got some connections? Tell them to hit me up, ha ha.

How would you describe your style?

I’d consider myself an extremely soulful, consistent ‘bridge between the old school and new school’ type of producer. For me it’s like remodeling the past to deliver something new for today and tomorrow. I’m like a collage of all the producers before me, I learn something, soak it in and apply it to my own work.

What projects are you working on and have worked on?

I have several projects available now. “The Mixed Bag Effect” and “The Almighty Dolla” were both joint albums with artist Bucky Dolla that I produced entirely. You can google each of those and find a purchasing locale of your preference to buy them. You can download some free material from me over on my website, http://www.nfinit3.com. Just goto the media page and click the download link for whichever project you’re interested in.

Why should people listen to your music?

Why shouldn’t they? I’m not the bragging type, nor am I going to throw what I do in the faces of the fans and listeners. If you enjoy soulful, melodic, real music with a positive message then this is for you. If you miss the hip-hop of the 80’s and 90’s when it was fun and meaningful then you will enjoy what I have to offer. Nothing is watered down, its presented with the intent to move you mentally. Just take a listen, I promise I won’t let you down.

Where can people go to listen to your music?

You can search Nfinit3 on iTunes or Google me to find links and songs to preview. Also, my website, http://www.nfinit3.com, has every free mixtape/project of mine available for download. The majority of my traffic and listeners are found on my myspace page, http://www.myspace.com/nfinit3. Go check it out.

Any other comments you want to add in the end of this interview?

I appreciate you taking the time out to chop it up with me. I wish you nothing but success with your movement, website and networking as I’m busy chasing a similar dream. Its all about the passion and music. To the readers, I hope you all enjoy what I have to offer. If you got a myspace page hit me up, if you’re interested in working with me or whatever, email me. I’m always open to build with folks. nfinit3beats@gmail.com. Until next time, pCe!

Thanks Nfinit3! :)
