KALANI: What was your primary goal with the new mixtape?
COMPOSE: Basically, this is the 2nd mix in the CNTH line... and my primary goal, as it is with everything We (NSK) do is to always strive to be the best. I was happy with the 1st volume, but there was definitely some room for improvement... So, I guess I took my time, chose tracks that i'm feeling, added some of my flav, and hopefully cooked up a classic.
KALANI: What do you hope the mixtape will help you accomplish?
COMPOSE: more than anything, it's just another way for me to express myself. The whole DJ game is so saturated and so watered down that projects like this keep me inspired and hungry. I just hope a bunch of people listen to it and dig what I did.
K: Where can people pick up V2?
C: I'll be releasing this mix on Halloween at this month's SOUL CLAP event at 39 hotel. it will be available at all the major shops and boutiques (shout to KicksHawaii, In4mation, QUEENS, Dig, Fitted, Prototype, and everyone else who always hold me down.)
K: How is it different than volume one? If it's still available how can people cop volume?
C: This time around, I had some assistance with the homie KnowXone (www. knowxone. com), who runs a very dope music blog. This mix concentrated on Songs and Artists that made noise in the "Blog" world. He gave me some input on some songs, and got some exclusives meant specifically for this mix, which is pretty crazy. That being said, I am always search for dope music... commercial, underground, whatever. I think this mix refelcts that.
Also, we are dabbling into production, and we have a remix from DJ Jami featured on this tape to Kanye's "Love Lockdown", which is craaaaaaazy!
What's funny about the last mix was I felt like I was trying to make a mix of "under the radar" joints I felt were fresh, and it ends up including some of the biggest songs in the radio, even till this day!
