The Microwave Interview with D.I.V.

 

 



Check out our Microwave Blog interview with rising indie hip hop star D.I.V.!  In this interview D.I.V. talks about what he feels is "hot right now" from movies to music, and to plug his forthcoming album The 12th Hour set to be released 12/12/12

The Microwave:  You're in the "Microwave"....What makes D.I.V. so hot right now?

D.I.V.:  Anytime vision and execution are in tune with one another its monumental. I have my own sound, I'm intelligent with a message and a current sound.  I am super versatile, riding a lane that isn't occupied, and have a New York minute work ethic.

The Microwave:  What mainstream hip hop artists do you feel are "hot right now"?

D.I.V.:  Honestly the hottest shit I've heard lately has been from Styles P. and Currency.

 

The Microwave:  Besides hip hop, what other genres of music do you listen to and who?
D.I.V.:  I love soul, jazz, roots and culture reggae, r n b, and classic rock. I love music in general though.

 

The Microwave:   One of your recent videos "U C Me" seems like a movie, do you plan on doing any other videos similar to that one?
D.I.V.:  Yea, honestly that is all I wanna shoot from now on.  My directors have been developing treatments.  I really just want to add new expression to the music and the movie style joints really develop the music and give a great visual.

The Microwave:   Speaking of movies, do you plan on getting into any acting?

D.I.V.:  Well I'm really planning on just making my videos forums for me to act.  Right now I'm doing music, but if I have the blessing of being able to act, that would be dope.  I'm just really focused on music scores and sound tracking my visuals correctly.

                                                                                             

The Microwave:  What movies are "hot right now"?
D.I.V.:  The dopest movie I heard of is The Man With The Iron Fists... SOOOOO MONSTERRR!!!  That has a lot to do with why I wanna act. RZA is real inspirational and one of my influences musically as an artist producer and engineer.

 

Some of my favorites:
Godfather 1 and 2

HEAT

Goodfellas

Smoking Aces

Shottas

and pretty much any 007

 

The Microwave:   Do you have a favorite actor or actress?
D.I.V.:  Al Pacino and Robert Deniro

 

The Microwave:   Getting off the topic of movies and back on to music, when can we expect another So OD project?
D.I.V.:  Well its already done, we are just working out budgeting and schedules.  Me and Nuf are focusing on different avenues for our music and that is also putting a hold on our movements as far as So O.D.

 

The Microwave:   What is your partner Nuf Sed up to?
D.I.V.:  Nuf is focusing on battling right now and trying to get involved in that circuit. He is definitely capable and determined to slaughter anyone in his way lol.

                                                                                                                      

The Microwave:   Getting back to you as a solo artist, where do you see yourself as an artist in 5 years?
D.I.V.:  In five years, lord willing, I will be touring and continuing to deliver dope hip hop music and visuals alongside my Giant G Fam. The reach will be much greater and the budgeting will allow us to do more. In the meantime, look out for "POWER" and "World Goes Round" Videos from the upcoming project The 12th Hour dropping 12/12/12
