This week's Microwave blog entry is dedicated to popular indie rapper Mono Bagends!  In this interview Mono Bagends talks about his blazing hot single "On Fire", the artists that he feels are "hot right now" and other topics.  Read all about it below.....

The Microwave Blog:  You're in "The Microwave", what makes Mono Bagends and your single "On Fire" so "hot right now"?

Mono Bagends:  It's a positive song that people can relate to. It makes people feel good..I think some people are tired of hearing about the same nonsense that is recycled in rap music so this record and myself are a breath of fresh air.

 

What artists in the mainstream do you feel are "hot right now"?

Kanye West, Drake and 2 Chainz

 

Besides hip hop/rap, what other genres of music are you into?
I really like all kinds of music..if it's hot and I can relate to it I'm on it.

 

Getting back to you and your single, the video recently reached 170,000 video views! The people are loving it!  Have you decided on a song for a follow up single, or are you going to continue to max out this video at least until next year?

The new record is coming at the top of the new year...I know which one I am going with but don't want to give it away just yet....it is a going to have more of a dance/pop appeal to it...its a dope record...I collaborated with a gorgeous female singer on it...Shout out to Mela Bela.

 

What do you feel was one of the most effective ways to get your music video seen by over 170,000 people?
It's all about word of mouth...I am not dealing with a major label budget so I can't promote everywhere. I feel like the record hasn't even been seen.

 

What does Mono Bagends get into when he's not in the studio cranking out hits?
I enjoy watching football, working out and reading...

 

Have you ever considered getting into other fields withen the music industry? If so, what else could you see yourself doing?
I co-produce the majority of my records..maybe one day I will fully produce my records. I probably could do a good job managing an artist but too many artists' have crap attitudes so don't know if I would want to burden myself with that.

 

What movies or television shows are you "hot" right now in your opinion?
Once upon A time, Boardwalk Empire and I am looking forward to Spartacus and Game of Thrones starting up again. Games of Thrones is my favorite.

 

Would you ever consider breaking into other forms of entertainment yourself?
Acting is something I would like to do...I know I could rock that out.

 

Is there anything else you would like our readers to know?
That the music game is a very difficult thing to do. If you like an artist you should support them and buy their records....Don't Bootleg!!!!! On Fire is on sale now on itunes. If you like it cop it.
