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 Queen Peezy (talks about her music, past and being an Openly Homosexual female Rap Artist)

Southeast Hip Hop Magazine recently spoke to Queen Peezy about her music, her past, influences, artists she would like to work with and getting her to talk about her experience as an openly homosexual female rap artist.  Read all about what she has to say in this in-depth, one on one interview with Queen Peezy and Southeast Hip Hop!

Southeast Hip Hop Magazine:  How are you doing Queen Peezy?

Queen Peezy:  Hi im doing good, maintaining, grinding working on my first mixtape "Queen Pin " the introduction planing to drop early March.

Southeast Hip Hop Magazine:  Why do you call yourself Queen Peezy?

Queen Peezy:  I call my self "Queen Peezy" because my father always called me QUEEN growing up and I never thought nothing less of my self.  Peanut is my nickname from birth, but PEEZY came from the gang/family "Porchlife" AKAthe "Turnt Up Porch On The MURDA" (Enfield St) Bros said they couldn't call me Peanut so peanut turned into Peezy meaning cool, laid back, stay FLEE, love to turn up, little and still get it poppin & snatch all the "Breezies" (laughs) as they say "Peezie Make Look Easy" so I put both of them together Queen Peezy. My Ego (laughs).

Southeast Hip Hop Magazine:  How would you describe yourself as an artist?

Queen Peezy:  Different, fun, flashy, real and confident and I don't care what people saying I keep doing me and fans still love it.

Southeast Hip Hop Magazine:  What are some of the things you rap about as an artist?

Queen Peezy:  Some things that I rap about as an artist are real life, turning up, family, the streets, pain, sex, love and money.

Southeast Hip Hop Magazine:  What makes you stand out and different from all the other artists in the game right now?

Queen Peezy:  Me being "gay" already is different.  My style as of dressing, dancing my swag...those on tracks.  I also bring a certain type of energy coming from some of my fans now .

Southeast Hip Hop Magazine:  How has your experience been as an artist being an openly gay female rapper?

Queen Peezy:  I wake up every morning.  My family alive, I'm blessed and I thank god everyday.  I'm no different from any other REGULAR rapper.

Southeast Hip Hop Magazine:  Right now you are an independent / underground rapper, do you believe that hip hop is ready for a mainstream rapper that's openly homosexual? 

Queen Peezy:  Why wouldn't they be its already out there most just not openly.

Southeast Hip Hop Magazine:  I believe it may be harder for a male rapper that's openly gay to become successful than it would be for a female who is a lesbian to gain success in hip hop on a larger scale, do you agree or disagree with that, and if so why is that in your own words?

Queen Peezy:  Look at Empire ..ok I know you are familiar with Jamal is right?  He is gay.  It took him a min to come out but he became successful.  People like his music, people should not care about nobody sexuality if the artist is speaking truth why criticize?

Southeast Hip Hop Magazine:  Getting back to your music, who are some of the people you've worked with?

Queen Peezy:  I've worked with mostly all local artists like Ace Streets, Dour, Ziggy The Grate, Nuski, Ray Traplife, Kompton, Rell.  I'm also working on a track with Bill Blacks and another track with Young V.  I've dealt with some producers like Malik Mulis Aka Lord Nobal, Ty Nitty Gwop , Beanz and Blazed Up Records.

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

Queen Peezy:  Anybody from the hood long as they ain't no fuck niggas & they wavey.  Or if we got good history.  Industry artists like 50 Cent , Cassiday, The Lox, Mob Deep, Nas, Free Max B. if he was still out ill be on it (laughs). Kendrick Lamar, Eryka Badu, Mary J., Chris French & Dej.

Southeast Hip Hop Magazine:  How did you hook up with Abiss and sign under Blazed Up Records?

Queen Peezy:  I've know Abiss since middle school.  She was a "Staff" for and after school program called Comapas.  She was always real cool and was like one of my mentors she made sure I was on track and if i needed something if she could she would help, but we linked up recently through facebook.  I was looking for more studios & we have been working with each other every since.  She cool peope & she mean business.

Southeast Hip Hop Magazine:  What are your plans for the rest of this year?

Queen Peezy:  Just to keep aiming for my goals making music and keep living life.

Pupp Barber:  I am good.  Doing very well and excited about my upcoming project.

South East Hip Hop Magazine:  Why do you call yourself Pupp Barber?

Pupp Barber:   My name originated when I was in college.  I played football and I played as a true freshman and I was one of the youngest guys on the team so all the older guys called me "Pupp" and it stuck with me since then.  Barber is my real last name and I chose to stick with that because it represents the real me and that is what I give in my music. 

South East Hip Hop Magazine:  How would you describe yourself as an artist?

Pupp Barber:   I'm an honest, passionate artist who works very hard to improve my craft.  I enjoy challenging myself to do different things with my music and I'm not afraid to take chances and try new things when it comes to creating music. I also try to be as versatile as possible. 

South East Hip Hop Magazine:  What inspired you to want to pursue a career in rap?

Pupp Barber:   I honestly used to rap for fun and write a few lyrics here and there. Then I began writing remixes to mainstream artists' songs and rapping them to my friends. My friends noticed I had talent and one of them was a producer so he gave me some original beats and I came up with my own songs and people liked them and eventually I got a few songs played in the clubs and people liked them and it encouraged me to try to pursue music on a serious level.

South East Hip Hop Magazine:  Who were some of your favorite artists coming up?

Pupp Barber:   My favorite artist who inspired me is T.I. , Trick Daddy, Tupac, Nas, Jeezy  and Field Mob just to name a few. 

South East Hip Hop Magazine:  Who are some of the artists you listen to now?  Who is in your iPod?

Pupp Barber:   I listen to T.I., Jeezy, Tupac, Jay-Z, Lil Wayne and Future.  I like to listen to all good music to be honest because I like to learn as much as I can from each artist. 

South East Hip Hop Magazine:  Who are some of the artists that you work with?

Pupp Barber:   I haven't really had the opportunity to work with many different artists. I have worked with a few R&B singers such as Dat Guy Kalvin who is a Florida based artist and Sa Myia who is also a south Florida based artist.  I'm hoping to work with a lot more artists in the future to create the best music possible. 

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

Pupp Barber:   I would love the opportunity to work with T.I., Pharrell, Jeezy, Lil Wayne, J. Cole, Big Sean, Kanye, Nas, Jay-Z just to name a few. 

South East Hip Hop Magazine:  You have a new album coming out, Something to Prove, what can listeners expect to hear on this album?

Pupp Barber:   On my New Album fans and listeners can expect to hear my story and life experiences in a variety of scenarios. I have a few songs that displays the excitement of the club scene for me. I also have songs on there that explain where I came from to where I'm at now. I talk about everything from family to my aspirations of one day becoming a successful artist who will hopefully make millions. I believe the listeners will appreciate my honesty in my music and a variety of listeners will be able to identify and relate to every song on the album. I like to say there is something on there for everybody. 

South East Hip Hop Magazine:  What types of beats bring out the best in what you do?

Pupp Barber:   I really love anthem beats.  Beats that challenge me to create a movement. I like beats that will have longevity in the music business that will be timeless.  I also do enjoy the trap beats as well. 

South East Hip Hop Magazine:  What producers did you work with for this project?

Pupp Barber:   I worked with several producers such as Drumn' skillz who is a Florida based producer, Killinit who is also a Florida based producer, Gambit who is a Florida based producer and LowKey who relocated to the Washington D.C. and has produced records for Twista and Shy Glizzy. 

South East Hip Hop Magazine:  Where do you see yourself as an artist in the next five years?

Pupp Barber:   In the next five years I see myself as being one of the top artist carving my own niche into the music industry. I plan on working hard enough to be considered one of the best nation wide and I challenge myself everyday to become that. 

South East Hip Hop Magazine:  What do you plan to accomplish before this year is out?

Pupp Barber:   Before this year is out I plan to expand my brand tremendously and create a buzz that will draw more fans attention as well as other artist in hopes of being able to collab with some of the top artist in the industry right now.
