ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: KULA VONCILLE

          You remember legendary emcees such as Roxanne Shante, Queen Latifah, MC Lyte, the late Ms. Melodie, Monie Love, The Lady of Rage, Jean Grae, Bahamadia, Da Brat, Remy Ma, Rah Digga, and Lauryn Hill?  What do all these talented lyricists have in common?  Not only are the individuals on this list exceptionally gifted hip hop recording artists, but they are also strong, intelligent, powerful and influential women that were also inspirational to a nation of young girls aspiring to follow in their professional foot steps.  In 2019 and beyond we have Kula Voncille, the daughter that was birthed from the mother of golden era hip hop.  While the game is now saturated with female recording artists that would rather sacrifice substance in favor of shock value. Nowadays we have more Barbees, Strippers and IG models picking up the mic to represent for the ladies instead of strong willed, powerful women with integrity giving hope and motivation to the next generation of girls, but with the rise of Kula Voncille, she has enough stage presence, lyrical skills, flair and substance to bring the art of "femceeing" back to it's glory days.

          Kula Voncille was born and raised in the heart of Richmond, VA and is the living embodiment of the state mantra "VA is for Lovers and Hustlers" (because Kula is most certainly both of course).  Kula Voncille AKA Kueen Kong has always been a student of hip hop, but graduated from the school of hard knocking hip hop emcees in 2014 the year she started her music career.  In that year Kula won the Soul Logistic Radio Gong Show Contest and opened for the legendary Slick Rick.

          Kula's musical influences include but certainly not limited to Eminem, Lauryn Hill, J. Cole, T.I. and Redman just to name a few.  There is no one word that can encompass everything Kula Von is as an emcee.  Kula is so versatile as a performer that it's hard to put her in a box and hard for the artist to even describe herself, when others ask her to define her style she kicks a verse a capella to show them rather than tell them!

Kula Voncille has performed at various prestigious venues in many cities in Virginia such as Ma Michele Cafe and Catering, Maple Bourbon, 

The Camel, The Top, VCUs International Contemporary Arts Building, 

The Well Art Gallery, The Beauty and Barber Fashion Show.  Kula Voncille has also performed at Fashion Shows in Atlanta, as well as industry parties and open mixes in New York and North Carolina.

Interview with Blakk North (The Lyrical Truthologist)

Southeast Hip Hop Magazine recently sat down with rising Ohio based emcee, Blakk North AKA The Lyrical "Truthologist".  In this in-depth, one on one interview Blakk North talks about his new album Creation, the types of subjects he tackles in his music and more! Read all about what he has to say in this interview below.  

Southeast Hip Hop Magazine:  How are you doing Blakk North, are you ready for this interview?

Blakk North:  Yes

Southeast Hip Hop Magazine:  Why do you call yourself Blakk North?

Blakk North:   Blakk North comes from the idea of ones journey inward to knowledge of self through the Creator. The North part is me heading upward toward the mind/ brain thus using the energy of the Creator to open the spiritual/ third eye to see the truth of the Creator.  Blakk is name of the apprentice who learns the ways of the Creator.

Southeast Hip Hop Magazine:  You are from Ohio, how is the hip hop scene where you are from?

Blakk North:  The scene here exist but has no real outlets. Plus artist nor people stick together in support of each other.  This makes it hard to have a successful career unless you promote outside of the city.  This we call the Jesus Theory meaning if you can't get love at home go else where.

Southeast Hip Hop Magazine:  The lead single to your current album Creation is titled "Freedom", for those that may have not heard the single yet how would you describe it?  What is the single about?

Blakk North:   Freedom express the cries of people looking to be free from hatred, fear, pain, sorrow, separation, divide, and manipulation.  It's about standing together as one race....THE HUMAN RACE....WITH THE CREATOR LEADING THE WAY...

Southeast Hip Hop Magazine:  What are your thoughts on all this police brutality going on in America on young black men?

Blakk North:  I believe we need to teach our youth not to express themselves all over the Internet media holding guns.  Posting videos talking about what they going to do to people if they come to their hood and so on.  This doesn't make cops right in shooting first and asking questions later. Every person should be held accountable for their actions just like with any job you work at.  However, until we as a people commit to unity and stop our hatred for ourselves and for others nothing will change.  We must stop trying define each others cultures and learn from each other.  Thus building relationships that advance us toward peace and intellectual upliftment.

Southeast Hip Hop Magazine:  You touch on a lot of heavy issues in your music, what are some of the topics and subjects you tackle in your songs?

Blakk North:  I touch on fathers who try to be fathers but are being messed over by woman who use the children to hurt the fathers.  I speak on finding peace within yourself through the Creator and realizing we are all one.  I talk about Karma and how it can hit you in ways you didn't expect and have negative consequences.

Southeast Hip Hop Magazine:   How would you describe the overall feel of your current project Creation?

Blakk North:  The overall feel of the album is to teach a person that you are not alone in your struggles.  However, this is how you can over come it through the help of the Creator.

Available to purchase on CD BABY

Southeast Hip Hop Magazine:   Who did you work with for this album?

Collins(Vocalist DemonShifter), Skool, Jillian Brooks (Singer), Ms. Dee Dee Vernell (Singer), Ja` Meze Latrail (Singer), AfroSoul (Rap), Meche` (Background Singer), Jazmyn (Background Singer), Shamon (Rap), Mista Swift (Rap), Moezart (Rap), Alyssa, and G.L. Davis.

Southeast Hip Hop Magazine:  Who would you like to work with in the future?

Blakk North:  I would like to with anyone who has a great sound and is looking to be on some truthful music.

Southeast Hip Hop Magazine:   What are your favorite songs from Creation?  In your opinion what are some of the highlights?

Blakk North:   Creation is my favorite but I love  them all. Highlights of the album is the songs that relate to the everyday struggles of people everywhere.

Southeast Hip Hop Magazine: What plans do you have for the rest of 2016?

Blakk North:  To keep spreading the word about this album.

Southeast Hip Hop Magazine:  Is there anything you would like to plug?  Any shout outs?

Blakk North:  Please check out my website at www.blakknorth.us and spread the word about what you hear on this album even if you don't buy it. So we can change the world together.  Shout out to everyone who put this album together and to those who spread the word.

Interview with K.W. the Artisan (King Wondaboi)

Southeast Hip Hop Magazine recently sat down and talked with rising hip hop recording artist, illustrator and graphic designer K.W. the Artisan about his current mixtape Paradise Phone Home, his background as an artist, plans for the future and more!  Read all about what this young, brilliant and talented artist had to say.

Southeast Hip Hop Magazine:  How are you doing K.W. the Artisan?
K.W. the Artisan:  I can't complain.  Too blessed to stress. Too great to hate.

Southeast Hip Hop Magazine:  Could you tell the readers how you got the name K.W. the Artisan?

K.W. the Artisan:  The K.W. stands for King Wundaboi.  Malik (Maleek) means King in Arabic.  Wundaboi has always been my rap name since like middle school.  The Artisan is the line name I earned from my fraternity, Pi Sigma Epsilon.

Southeast Hip Hop Magazine:  How would you describe yourself as an artist?
K.W. the Artisan:  I'd say I'm a jack of all trades.  I rap, draw, photo edit, and create videos.  There isn't much that I can't do and I am currently in the process of learning the stuff that I don't know. 

Southeast Hip Hop Magazine:  You are a young artist that's influenced by a lot of 90s, golden era, boom bap hip hop.  Who are some of the artists from that era that influenced you?  
K.W. the Artisan:  2Pac is definitely my biggest influence. Some others are J. Cole, N.W.A., Jay-Z, Bob Marley, and Jimi Hendrix to name a few in no particular order.

Southeast Hip Hop Magazine:  You have a mixtape out now, Paradise Phone Home... how would you describe the overall feel of the mixtape?
K.W. the Artisan:  Trippy, in one word. It's music for late nights and smoke sessions.  If you listen to it all the way through, it'll definitely take you on a trip.

Southeast Hip Hop Magazine:  Who did you work with for this project?
K.W. the Artisan:  The features I have are Deak the Digger, Phenom, and Cairo Starr.  Mike Blayz helped executive produce and let me use his studio.

Southeast Hip Hop Magazine:  Although I'm sure you are proud of the entire project, what are some highlights on this mixtape?  What are some of your favorite songs?
K.W. the Artisan:  "Pride" was the 1st song I recorded in a real studio.  It was also the 1st song I wrote after I took a break from writing for a few months.  "Paradise" was a song I had fun with. I wrote each verse differently and it just feels good.

Southeast Hip Hop Magazine:  What types of topics and subjects do you normally rhyme about?
K.W. the Artisan:  I usually just write about what I'm going through or feeling at the time.  People relate more when it's real.

Southeast Hip Hop Magazine:  What type of beats bring out the best in what you do?
K.W. the Artisan:  Hmm I guess I would have to say beats that sound old school.  Stuff that Outkast started out on for example. 

Southeast Hip Hop Magazine:  Who are some of the artists you are feeling right now?  What's in your iPod?
K.W. the Artisan: I'm listening to Bas right now.  I keep Logic in rotation.  A$AP Ferg just dropped a dope album.

Southeast Hip Hop Magazine:  What are your plans for the rest of this year musically?
K.W. the Artisan:  I plan on performing some and hopefully do a few collaborations.  Just work on getting my name out really.

Southeast Hip Hop Magazine:  Where do you see yourself in the next 5 years?
K.W. the Artisan:  Alive hopefully.  Just making more music and art and being better at it.

Southeast Hip Hop Magazine:  Is there anything you would like the readers to know about you that we haven't mentioned so far?  

K.W. the Artisan:  The 1st time I went to Lenox Mall in Atlanta, I saw Gunplay in the Apple store.  I didn't say nothing to him or anything because he was trying to make a purchase and the girl he had with him was bad.
