I’ve seen this brother freestyle for twenty-five minutes straight, incorporating comedy, word play, and the clever use of his environment to put on one hell of a show right within the cipher. But after the brief fizzle of his “Pre Last Hope” mixtape I was left with the dissatisfaction one feels when expectations for the best don’t come into fruition. However, I am excited to announce that M-16’s new project, “Me & My Boy Roy” has satiated my hip hop hungry pallet. And I’m even more excited to be able to pick his brain about some things.
SONDRIA: What were you trying to accomplish with “Pre Last Hope”?
M16: Promotion for my album and [I] needed exposure
SONDRIA: Did you meet your expectations?
M16: Yes because I didn’t have any expectations with it. I recorded hundred’s of songs for my album and those were just a couple that didn’t make the cut but were good enough to be released.
SONDRIA: What are your goals for “My Boy Roy”?
M16: More promotion for the “Last Hope” coming this summer by the way
SONDRIA: How long did it take you to finish the album?
M16: The album took a year or so the mixtape took a month including recording and promotion
SONDRIA: Are there any other artists featured on the project?
M16: Yes my No-Pity family: Scoop da Kidd, Asap and Krystina Nicole, as well as my Hostile team: Ramone Jones and MeeSo and some artist I respect and always thought [were] underrated in the I.E.: Epic, Celphi, and Sosa Rose
SONDRIA: What’s your favorite track and what’s it about? Why is it your favorite?
M16: My favorite is the intro “Surprise Myself” because the love I’m receiving from this mixtape surprises me, but I appreciate it. I finally feel like people see me as an artist not just a cipher killa.
SONDRIA: What roll does comedy play in your overall artistry?
M16: A big one. Comedy is entertainment that’s what I make music to do, entertain you, are you entertained? Hahaha
SONDRIA: What does the name M16 mean?
M16: It’s the master of 16 bar’s, not a weapon
SONDRIA: How long have you been rhyming?
M16: I’ve been rhyming since I could get away with peeing on myself without looking like a jack ass, but I’ve been doing music seriously since the age of 16 recording since 13 but that was just for fun you know the homies and shit nothing serious.
