Harn SOLO, “Say Bruh” | produced by Pro Prospek | “Shooting Star” album out now
New Orleans-based emcee Harn SOLO presents the Mally X-directed music video for “Say Bruh”, the first single from his new album Shooting Star, produced entirely by NOLA HipHop Award-winning producer Pro Prospek. Moving from Los Angeles to New Orleans a few years ago, SOLO has since performed alongside Wu-Tang Clan, Rebirth Brass Band, Mickey Factz and more. SOLO has seven albums under his belt including The Awakening, SOLO 3.0, Reaching Higher and The Grind, his recent full-length with fellow Nola emcee Lyriqs da Lyraciss (watch “The Grind” video here) also featuring 2011 NOLA HipHop Award Album Of The Year winner Lyrikill.
Eli Escobar – Love Thing (DJ Mehdi Remix). Label: Plant Music
Eli Escobar’s “Love Thing Part 2” (DJ Mehdi Remix) has been a staple for DJs on both sides of the Atlantic and beyond, appealing to those with a disco sensibility as well as those that play a little harder. This is quintessential Escobar, a song that sparks the imagination while making feet move, with his seemingly effortless instrumentation that is as melodic and catchy as the vocal hook. The remixer, DJ Mehdi (of Paris’ Ed Banger fame) sadly passed away in 2011 in a tragic accident that left the dance music community stunned. We all miss him dearly.
“Love Thing Part 2” (DJ Mehdi Remix) is taken from Plant Music’s new compilation PLANT MUSIC: LOVE ME (released in the UK 25th June 2012)

Pairadyce Interview
What would you say is your biggest achievement in the music industry so far in your career?
Engineering song on Slim Thug’s Tha Thug Show. Being in the studio at that time and learning things just really helped me step my game up. It was also interesting to see how other artists created their songs because before working in the studio, I was just used to seeing how I worked and it’s always interesting to see others create.
How long you been making music and what was the first track you ever released?
It’s been around a decade of writing and making songs and when you quantify it like that it feels so long ago. So long that I don’t honestly remember the first song I released but I used to frequent message boards because at that time the digital realm was just coming up and that was a good way of getting a broad audience.
How would describe the music you make? What words define your sound?
I would describe my music as “real life situations” in that, I think anybody could relate to what I have to say. That phrase and those words would best define what it is I do because I don’t know what it’s like to be in the upper class, I’m just a regular ‘Joe’ living the same life as most of my listeners.
Where are you living at the moment and do people from your city support you?
I’m living just outside of Dallas at the moment. It’s strange in the south because I don’t have that “southern style,” which I love to death, so while I get a lot of respect as people hear what I do and appreciate it, it’s a lot harder to retain those listeners because their ears are trained to a certain swag I guess you’d say. But I haven’t had anyone tell me I can’t rap, so it’s just about doing something memorable and connecting with the people who listen.
With Hip-Hop being so global now, do you like any Hip-Hop at the moment that is not from your country? Are there any overseas artists that you really like or rate?
I’ve been listening to a lot of K-Pop lately to be honest because my wife is Korean. My new favorite is Big Bang, they remind me of the Black Eyed Peas and their presentation is on point.
How has your quest in music going? Are you trying to get signed or do it independent?
It’s going good… I used to think being signed was the ultimate goal but once you learn how the industry functions, myself personally, it became less of a desire. I’m all for the independent notion, I run my own website, hand out CDs, connect with people. Being signed would be nice but I don’t want to lose any connections.
Is there anybody in the scene you would love to work with? Producers, rappers, deejays or record labels?
I could name a bunch of people I’d love to work with, probably at the top of my list would be Chamillionaire or Royce da 5’9″ just to see their creative process and now with my K-Pop interest, I’d like to connect with Korean rappers and work with the producer Teddy.
What record label are you on and who distributes your music?
I’m not on any label but I work heavily with Knowledge Giving Birth Productions, we distribute everything on our own but the album we are working on will have digital distribution from Island Def Jam.
What’s your favourite Hip-Hop magazine/website and why?
I guess XXL was my favorite magazine coming up because it seemed more general and not just a “you have to reach this level to be featured” type of magazine. As far as websites, I occasionally browse allhiphop.com or hiphopdx.com because they usually have the best interviews.
What’s your favourite radio show ?
I don’t listen to the radio anymore, but when I do it’s usually Power 105 in NY with the breakfast club (Charlamagne, DJ Envy, and Angela Yee)
What’s ya favourite clothing label and why?
Probably PNB, cause it’s fashionable, unique, and hard to find. They have dope styles.
What’s your Twitter and website links?

Thanks for doing the interview, before you go is there anything else you’d like to add or an opinion you’d like to voice?
Shout out to my production team Rediculus, Jon Glass, Kayser9soze, & Rob Connelly. If you’re an artist, remember what made you love music, that’s what inspires me. Album on the way.
