Interview: HipHopShizzle

Grand Angel Interview - 1/11/10
by HipHopShizzle

Excerpt from the interview... "We’ve both been writers for many years previous to the music game. Music really just came naturally to us, Hip-Hop and music in general is the air we breathe. We’re influenced by each other mostly. We’re constantly trying to elevate and that pushes each other to be greater and greater with every song, with every performance. Also our concepts and tangent conversations open us up to new ideas and creativity."

Interview: RAGO Magazine

Grand Angel Interview - 1/4/10
by Tricksta at RAGO Magazine

Excerpt from the interview...
Do you think the internet helps or hinders independent artists?
Grand Angel: If used correctly, responsibly and socially... the internet is the most valuable tool for ANY market. The problem is not the internet’s accessibility to the artist or to music; it’s the fact that people are still “promoting” using the old-school methods, like excessive SPAM! People who like your music need to be able touch you and talk to YOU these days; you need a Twitter or a MySpace. I regularly give people my cell phone number! And I’ll answer as long as I’m not asleep or in the studio! Haha!"
