A Chat w/ Casey Veggies (Video)

Casey Veggies is the epitome of an artist that never stops working. The 19 year old Los Angeles native has been making music since the age of 14 and has only strived to become better and better since, and he has indeed. Since our first interview with him back in October 2010, Casey has graduated high school – he was missing class when we first met FYI – toured the US, featured in an HTC campaign, released a deluxe edition of his critically acclaimed project Sleeping In Class, signed on with Roc Nation for management, headlined his first sold out show in his LA stomping grounds, and the list goes on. We’re not only blown away by the moves Young Veggies has been making, but we’re proud. As one of the emcees at the forefront of this movement out of the west coast, Casey Veggies is poised to carry LA on his back.

While in Miami, I sat down with Casey to talk about tour life and being the supporting act, performing at DC’s first annual trillectro festival, what branding means to him, what exactly is “Y.N.M.,” Young Jeezy tweeting lyrics from his track “Verified,” his plans for the rest of 2012, & more. – Ashley

A (2)Dope Contest: MUSCLE MUSIC w/ Donwill of Tanya Morgan

After Don showed me yesterday’s RAoF entry, he joked about making a beat and using it as an actual song. Well…

I don’t remember the exact conversation but somewhere between email or text while me and Meka were laughing at this video I kinda said “challenge the producers that hit up your site to make a beat with this shit and ill judge the submissions. Hell I’ll rap over the winning beat.” And Meka being the champion of fuckery that he is was like “ok”. Which brings us here today.

It’s simple, y’all submit beats made with the sounds on this video, we judge the entries and announce the winner via podcast and I’ll make a rap song out of that one. I’m sure Meka will have a wonderful time sliding it in his set between “Crispy Chicken” by Mary J Blige and any number of the Lil B songs he has on deck.

Who’s in?

PS – if you niggas could see the other conversations me and this guy have… son…. EPIC.

All aspiring fooligans, you can wither leave your concoction in the c-section (don’t worry if it gets “moderated,” I’ll still be able to see them) or hit the Twitters of either myself or Donwill by no later than and next Friday, September 7th. I can’t wait to hear this shit…
