[Tru Principle]

How does it feel like being the top don?

 

[aloivas]

damn, that's dope that you own your own club...

how did that come about? (i understand you don't wanna talk about finances, etc.), but yeah, was it a club or shop or something before and you just changed the name, etc., or did you start from scratch? i assume you're renting the building... was it a long/hard process opening the club? ive never been to adelaide... is gouger st right in the city? is it a main street?

 

[Casey]

Ruk - trust you better get at me if/when you get to London. I'll show you where the parties at, for real. If you're serious about expanding to a club in London, even if just for a one off event, I can be of some help there.

Ermm... Its taken about two months from concept to launch, probably two and a half including just talking and looking for a venue.

It used to be a dance/NRG club before but has been shut since the start of the year until we stepped in. We renovated, a lot by hand to cut costs. In fact we sanded the floor down today and we're gonna stain it tomorrow.

I guess it is long and hard, I quit my job to handle all of the day to day shit, it isnt easy, but its fun for me so I dont care. A lot of head fucks and stress, a lot of hiccups on the way, but its all coming together.

Gouger Street is one of the main streets in Adelaide, it is the main resturant street and China Town is connected to it. It also has a big under cover market and it runs off of Victoria Square which is the heart of the CDB.

Come to Adelaide and holla.

1. In your own words, what ways are the "rap" & "hip-hop" genres different?

2. What is your greatest fear of being in the business you are in (if any)?

3. What advice would you give to someone who is just starting out and want's to follow in your footsteps (in the music industry)?

4. Now that you are rich and famous, how do people (that you know) treat you?

5. If you could have any women to star in your music video, who would it be, and why?

6. What is the one thing that brought you into this business and what is the one thing that will make you want to leave?

Looks very nice. My friends mum wants us to come over to her house in NZ. If I do I'll be coming OZ, and I'll be coming to see you in Adelaide too. Lucky you.

1. In your own words, what ways are the "rap" & "hip-hop" genres different?

Nothing, rap is something you do, hip-hop is something you live. Rap is part of hip-hop.

2. What is your greatest fear of being in the business you are in (if any)?

My greatest fear is this doesn't work and I let the people that rely on me down. People have families and depend on me for income, its a big thing if you think about it; your performance as a business man dictates what someones kids are going to eat.

3. What advice would you give to someone who is just starting out and want's to follow in your footsteps (in the music industry)?

Dont trust anyone and play the part you want to take. Be prepared not to sleep. You have to love this to do it or else its a 24/7 head fuck.

4. Now that you are rich and famous, how do people (that you know) treat you?

Im not rich, I dont really have any cash thats what people need to understand in this game. You have nice things, you have assets, but you dont have cold hard cash. Technically if you check my bank balance Im a broke ass dude, I just happen to be a broke ass dude with a club opening up and some nice things.

The problem is for the most part, any money you make goes straight back into promo and maintaining a lifestyle that is expected, it is really hard to save, and if you dont have anything saved up you aint rich.

Im too busy to keep in touch with a lot of friends, the people I keep in touch with is the people I live with whom I run the club with, the crew sticks together thru thick and thin, the three of us going thru the same shit so we're not treating each other any different.

People out and about treat us different, we are VIP anywhere we go and get away with a lot of shit no one else would. For example, we dont have to pay attention to any dress code or line at any club or show. It is cool.

Everyone else that just jumps on the nuts is either funny or annoying.

Girls become stupid and dont get the time of day from me. The crew on the other hand love them.

5. If you could have any women to star in your music video, who would it be, and why?

Rihanna, because she is hot and at her peak and it would be a bossy fucking move to have her drapped over me.

6. What is the one thing that brought you into this business and what is the one thing that will make you want to leave?

I basically woke up and realized I have dedicated the past 7 years of my life to hip-hop in terms of sites or magazines or promo or radio or whatever and I dont have anything else. Study stopped making me happy, Im not the 9 to 5 type, I love to make music and I love to run my own shit. So I basically said its time to go all out or go home.

Fundamentally I think I can make a good living off this, make a lot of money and as a business man that is what I want. I want to support my family well.

What will make me leave? If it stops being fun. I can make money anyway, it really isnt hard, but I want to enjoy the journey and be in a position to help support others.

Wow thanks, that was fun hehe. One of the better interviews I have done

Aiight you can stay with us, holla.

 

[Amara]

I basically wanna go see Amara serve me a good english pint

I can serve you a pint in England but if you're after an English beer, you'd be hard pressed to find one, lol. They all drink Fosters! We have Becks Vier on tap - you'd probably like that.

 

[7 Syns]

I always thought English beer has a weird camel urine taste to it.

peace.

 

[Pittsey]

What is English beer? Carlsberg is brewed in the UK if that counts. lol

I drink Mexican beer myself.


The only English beers I know are bitters, not largers. John Smiths and the like. But only old men drink them.

 

[Rukas]

now that ur more stable and have ur own business and the music thing is taking off, did u quit that other job u had? project manager or something?

I did quit my other job yes. We record most nights I cant handle a day job, I have to sleep sometime.

 

[Rukas]

Of course.

Yeah the only ones we have are bitters - brakspear, bombadier - that kind of thing and yeah, lol, predominantly asked for by old men.

Well considering Ive never actually had a Fosters that might work... Otherwise yes, Ill drink some Becks.

Old men, LOL. Hey we went to the German Arms at Harndorff last week and some old man wanted to play us in pool.... Sure I thought, why not it will make him happy... His hands kept shaking as he went to break.... Then he totally kicked our ass...

Moral: Maybe I should be drinking those old man beers.
