HHK: Thanks for speaking to us Iron Braydz. For new fans, can we have an introduction please?
Iron Braydz: Peace, my name is IronBraydz, I’m from North West London, I’m a recording artist, producer, radio presenter and just recently started a career in playwritting.
HHK: The single Golden Legacy is getting heavy rotation at the moment. How has the response generally been from fans? And why did you select Golden Legacy as a lead single?
Iron Braydz: The response has been great, I don’t have fans, I have friends. They have all given me very positive feedback on the track, Endemic went as far as to straight up call it UK Wu-Tang. I chose Golden Legacy as the 1st release because from the moment I produced that beat I knew it would be my first solid joint to let out as a warning shot. M9 was originally gonna record the track with me so we could put it on a collaboration album we spoke about quite often, but things change. We ended up recording another dope joint called “Devils Death Day”, it’s the 1st track on the project.
HHK: We also had news that the single is from the forthcoming album “Devil May Cry”. What gave you the influence for the album title? And is there any confirmed guest appearances or any guest producers involved yet?
Iron Braydz: The influence for the title first came from the PS2 game, but I slowly developed it into my own meaning, this is verbal warfare, the title kind’a speaks for itself, but feel free to let it mean what you want it to mean. I’ve got Marley Marl on there just showing me love when I was on 279’s Friday Night FLAVOURS, Lewis Parker, M9, Cyrus Malachi, Guilty Simpson, Sav KIllz, Proppa, Morph Beatz and Chemo.
HHK: You’re obviously assosiated with the Iron Rap Show. What can you tell people about the show? And how did you manage to hook up the deal with bangradio?
Iron Braydz: The Iron rap Show is my radio show that’s on air every Saturday from 6pm to 8pm. I play Hip Hop, old school, new school, UK to world, no discrimination. MC’s holla! if it’s good, i’ll play it! I’ve been involved with the station since the very begining.
HHK: Can you explain the prank that was pulled by Viper G?
Iron Braydz: No, because I’m not sure what you’re talking about. Lol!
HHK: Your music has been compared to the likes of Immortal Technique and M1 from Dead Prez who you’ve had the good fortune of sharing a stage with. Do you see the similarities in music styles with those artists? And if you could work with any artist, who would it be?
Iron Braydz: Is that right? WOW! I’m honoured and humbled by that, I can say I do see or hear the similarities because they’ve always been a big inspiration, but I gotta say it’s always been RZA of Wu, because from that moment he showed what to do with the MPC2000xl i’ve grown from strength to strength, I did also share the stage with him back in 2001. I gotta name drop but the biggest honour has to be when Chuck D of Public Enemy personally asked me to come join him and the whole band on stage at the Kentish Town Forum back in 2005. I’d Love to work with Massive Attack! them brothers contributed to Hip Hop in a big way back in the mid 90’s, I need that sound in my life.
HHK: Speaking of shows, are there any live performances planned for the rest of 2009? And where has been your favourite venue or city to perform?
Iron Braydz: Nothing on at the moment, my most memorable performance was the one I did the day my father had passed away.
HHK: Do you have any other plans for 2009? And where are the best places where fans can check for updates?
Iron Braydz: Catch me youtube.com/ironbraydz or myspace.com/ironbraydz, facebook.com/ironbraydz or just Google the name. If you’d like me to come do a show just holla, iron.braydz@gmail.com. My plans for the rest of the year is to finish my next Hip Hop project, get the PR campaign moving and get the CD’s pressed.
HHK: And is there anything else you’d like to add to the interview?
Iron Braydz: DEVIL MAY CRY!
HHK: Thanks again for speaking to us Iron Braydz. Good luck with the album release and keep in touch!
