Phenomm

By
Dub G.

Everybody knows  
the south has influ -
enced the hip-hop  
game in a major
way. One market
that’s picking up
steam and showing
no signs of slowing
down, is Mississippi.  
The state has a new  
sensation ready to  
explode on the  
scene. I introduce to  
you Phenomm.

NP - So what's the business Phenomm ?
Phenomm - Aint much man. Down here working and
that's it! NP - You're new to the game, so tell us a
little bit about yourself. Phenomm - I'm a live wire.
I'm very versatile and can deal with any situation
quickly. However u want it, you can get it. I am the
Phenomm, and that's what u get. Something
phenomenal ! NP - Where are you from ?
Phenomm - I'm from Uptown New Orleans. Straight out
the 3rd ward. I moved to Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, a
minute ago. And all my ties to the rap game come
from here. I'm representing 13! If yall don't know what
that is, its Mississippi. Do the math!
NP - How is the music scene down on the
Mississippi gulf coast ? Phenomm - We got cats
down here doing it big. A lot of quality material is here.
This like a boiling pot. You can find whatever u want
here. As far as the business goes, its stagnant. U
can't get everybody on one accord at one time. When
something big comes from this source, the other ain’t
ready for it, and vice versa. There are a lot of groups
and records labels here, but only a few stand out and
make a name for themselves. I know it'll get greater
later. We just got to network more. NP - Do you think
it's harder to get out of Mississippi as an artist?
Phenomm - It's not where you from, to me. It has a lot
to do with your timing where you from. Timing is really
important. If you look at the states around us, they've
had a big force or a mediocre force to bring light to
they spot. It goes to your hustle and grind. Who's
going to go that extra mile to get out? I'm the type of
cat, who, if I work with you, I'm going to give 110% and
make it happen. If I got to be in Starkville to do a track
with some one and take a six hour trip for one song,
I'm going to do it.  That's the attitude a lot of cats have
to have to make it. That's how I think.
NP - What would u call your style of music?
Phenomm - Well, I do so many different styles of
music. It’s hard to say. I like the riding music the most.
That's my comfort zone. Don't get it twisted because I
got one of the biggest mouths you'll hear on the mic.
My music is targeted to the southern region. I got the
East and West, too. But this that southern flavor.
NP - Tell us about your new album? Phenomm -
We got "Mr. Down South" coming soon. It's all original
music. But it's like an underground album. You can
only get this off the streets or our website. Be looking
for that late Summer, early Fall. I got 19 tracks to
keep your speakers jumping. I got 17, Dub-G, DJ Sgt.
Rock, Freakie, and the rest of my peeps on it. I'm still
in the studio recording on the real deal "Viet-Nomm.”
That'll be here around the first quarter. So look for
that. It's a lot of people I'd like to work with on this one.
It's going to be a hot item no doubt. NP - Any outside
projects we can expect to look for u on?
Phenomm - Everything! If I can be a part of it, I will be.
There are no barriers, as far as I go. NP - Where do
you see yourself in the industry? Phenomm -
Being successful is what I see. I'm a hustler. So I'm
going to get some of this money. I love he game, but
at the same time, I want to eat and feed my family.
NP - Anything else you want to tell your fans?
Phenomm - Thanks for the support. To the fans, dj's,
and anyone who feeling me, follow me - because I'm
not going to steer u wrong. U can expect all of me
when u see or hear me on a track. Holla at the family,
