Also working on my album at the same time which will probably come out in 2010 sometime. MP: Yah definitely! I am gonna do another mixtape probably in the fall sometime, kinda like a going back to school present, I am working on that right now. SLABUP: Your mixtape "Matter of Time" has created a lot of noise in the music world in 2009, is there anything else we can expect from you this year? Raspy! People be like “Who’s your favorite rapper?” I’ll be like “Andre 3000, Jeezy” people be like “Jeezy? Your joking” but I am like “Naw he’s like my favorite rapper” you like Jeezy for different reasons than you like Andre 3000 ya know? His ad-libs (then MP went on to demonstrate the infamous Jeezy ad-libs) HUHAA!! YEEEEEAA!! MP: Young Jeezy (answered right away), His voice is so awesome, we are kinda equivalents haha maybe the song should be called Mr. SLABUP: Which artist would you want to do a track with in the future? I just got a bunch of beats from producers in Detroit so I was listening to those on the plane haha, I know that’s not the coolest answer haha. MP: People ask me that a lot haha and I never remember, lemme think, oh, I just gave the Lady Gaga album the whole listen, I wish I had listened to the album when it first came out cuz I had to skip through all the single, but yah I love her. SLABUP: What are you bumpin right now on your ipod? But I don’t wanna build who I am off of someone who likes me haha, but I have been blessed with a lot of people showin support. Jay-Z, that was probably the craziest, KiD CuDi I met in Texas he was really cool. But what artists have shown support? Umm, Bun B had my stuff on his ipod down in Texas. It’s a cool story cuz we never would have met if it wasn’t for music and now we’re like best friends. MP: Man, a lot, first of all my best friend is Big Sean, It’s a cool story man, you know, I am from the suburbs of Detroit and he is from the city, and if you don’t know Big Sean’s story but he got signed by rapping for Kanye at the radio station in Detroit and that’s how Kanye discovered him, and after that happened I interned at that same station, so that’s how I met Big Sean. SLABUP: Which artist has reached out the most and shown you support? I come from a hip-hop background so I try to write pop music that rappers like as well, I make pop music, but the lyrics aren’t corny, they say somethin. And then, you know I am a different person than everyone else, and like I said in the last question I write about shit I know, and nobody is me and no one’s lyrics will be the same as mine, so I really take pride in my lyrics.
MP: Number one, the fact that I write produce and sing, you know my shit is not gonna sound like anyone else’s cuz I am not using a Swizz Beats beat, or a Neptunes beat, or a Timbaland beat, so just by nature it is going to sound different because I am making all of the music. SLABUP: What separates you from other artists in the game? MP: Just real life man, I really don’t ever talk bout shit I don’t know about, so usually I am talking about shit that has actually happened to me. SLABUP: Where do you find inspiration in your lyrics? MP: I am actually a Sociology and Business major.
That’s what’s so exciting I am still getting better every day at singing. I was writing hooks for the beats I was making…damn, my bad I am hella out of breath I just ran up some stairs, all I do is make music now I never go to the gym haha, but I didn’t have any singers to sing it for me, so I just started singing it myself. MP: I always wanted to make music, but actually I only started singing about a year ago, I was strictly producing, for other people and I was tired of having my ideas having to go through someone else. SLABUP: How did you get to where you are right now? Have you always wanted to sing?
