MMMH #15: Trev Rich – Goldeneye 007, Denver, Drinking Habits, Dreams

by Leave a Comment

Mighty Mighty Marsten House is finally back!

After releasing fourteen successful episodes, we took a hiatus to do some other things here at Lawson Entertainment.

I received a lot of great feedback about the podcast and many people asked me to bring it back. So, here it is.

Episode 15 brings Denver artist Trev Rich. Trev is probably most well known for his Dreams (Interlude) track on Joe Budden’s “A Quarter on the Loose.”

I got a chance to talk with Trev about his growth as an artist, his creative process, and we even dove into some of his lyrics.

Here’s a look at Trev’s answers to the lightning round:

Tim Lawson: Dead or alive if you could have any MC or artist collaborate on a track with tomorrow who would it be?
Trev Rich: Bob Marley

Tim: Same question only with a producer?
Trev: That’s tougher than an artist, I’d rather do a collab production with 40 ?, Timbaland.

Tim: If there was anywhere in the world that you haven’t performed at that you would want to do a full set concert at where would it be?
Trev: South Africa

by Leave a Comment

Neema is a hip hop artist from Seattle, Washington. He has collaborated with artists like Jagged Edge, Twista, Tech Nine, Joe Budden, Crooked I, Macklemore, and others.

Neema talks with Tim about:

  • Discovering hip hop
  • Being signed to a label at an early age

  • Overcoming alcoholism
  • His latest album release – The Cigar Room
  • Working with artists like Tech N9NE and Jagged Edge
  • Featured track: Shots Fired off of The Cigar Room

Here’s a look at Neema’s answers to the lightning round:

Tim Lawson: If you could work with any artist dead or alive on a Neema track who would it be?
Neema: Jimi on the guitar, Timbaland for a beat, my gut reaction says Jay Z as an MC but I want to do a record with Drake or Dre.
Tim: If you could perform anywhere where would it be?
Neema: Red Rocks Amphitheater
Tim: If could get on a slaughterhouse record but you had to replace one of the four guys who would you kick off to be on the track?
Neema: I’m not answering that I know those guys and they will call me pissed off. I would say don’t put me on any songs they have with Eminem because that’s too much pressure.
Tim: Alternative question of all the tracks they put out what have you hear that you wish you could have been on?
Neema: The BET Cypher. An alternative answer to any song out right now that I wish I could have been a part of is the Speedom with Eminem, Krizz Kaliko, and Tech N9ne.
Tim: You just texted me the flier about the tour you’re about to go on with Tech N9ne tell us about that?
Neema: Were about to kick it off October 18th in Seattle, were just going to do incredible things it’s going to be beautiful. I’m really excited. I work with these guys nonstop it’s not even business it’s family. I love it.

by Leave a Comment

Mega Ran is from Philadelphia and is best known for his love for video games. They even make their way into most of his music. Host Timothy Lawson and Mega Ran get into A LOT of different topics:

  • How Mega Ran was introduced to hip hop
  • How he became Mega Ran
  • His creative process
  • Charleston shooting
  • Raising a child and being a teacher
  • Which video game he wishes he was in

If you put video games, the 80’s, hip-hop, soul music, jazz and standup comedy into a blender and hit “puree,” you’d have something close to The Mega Ran Experience.

Here’s a look at Mega Ran’s answers to the lightning round:

Tim Lawson: Which franchise would you want to be incorporated into if they made a Mega Ran character?
Megan Ran: The ultimate dream would be to be in the Mega Man games. Like if I could pallet swap character, a player two, or a guy who just popped up to help Mega Man. Or even put me in the enemy category, a new foe for Mega Man.

Tim: Which video game character would make a dope rapper?
Mega Ran: Barret Wallace from Final Fantasy 7, because he’s bad ass.

Tim: Which game from your childhood up until PlayStation 2 warrants a remake?
Mega Ran: Parappa the Rapper

Tim: If you could bring any MC on a Mega Ran track who would you want?
Mega Ran: MF Doom

MMMH #9: Jus Allah – Jedi Mind Tricks, Chess King, Hateful Lyrics, Marsten House

by 4 Comments

Jus Allah joins Tim Lawson on Mighty Mighty Marsten House this week.

Most of you probably recognize Jus as a former member of Jedi Mind Tricks.

Tim and Jus will discuss more of Jus’ introduction to the culture, his creative process, being a group artist vs a solo artist and so much more.

Here’s a look at Jus Allah’s answers to the lightning round:

Tim Lawson: If you could collaborate with any artist on a Jus Allah track who would it be?
Jus Allah: Asking people to collaborate with me isn’t really my thing. I don’t want to load my album up with guest spots. It seems weird to pay people to play music with me. It takes away from your own sound. If I got cool with a rapper yes, but not someone I didn’t know personally.

Tim: Is there anywhere you haven’t performed that you wish you could?
Jus Allah: I never considered touring as a rapper. Anywhere that good people are. I haven’t been to Japan, I don’t really know how into hip hop they are. It all kind of runs together. You just see the hotel and the venue and then you are on the way to the next place.

Tim: Same question but with a producer?
Jus Allah: I’ve developed a sound with the people I work with now. I would say Alchemist. He can make anything sound good. The High and the Mighty. Now days Apollo Brown.

Tim: When can we expect your next album MMA?
Jus Allah: I didn’t feel a rush to release it. I don’t have a date just yet.
