Cy Harp Interviewed By OHHA
Here's the interview with my dude Cyharp with The Ohio Hip Hop Awards. Check it out.
Name: Cy Harp (The most relatable artist)
City: Massillon, Oh
Skill: Helping individuals commit to doing something with their life. I rap on the side!
Years in the game: Not in the game yet… Still broke and trying to make something of myself. Ask me that same question next year so I can say a few months.

Essince: You started music at such a young age. Did you ever do anything besides MC or did you always want to rhyme?
Cy Harp: I always wanted to rhyme. Just walking in the footsteps of my older brother, that’s all I wanted to be. Luckily, he was doing something positive then, or we wouldn’t be doing this interview right now.
Essince: I understand you also won the 50 Mics show in South Beach. Can you tell me a little about that? How’d you hear about it?
Cy Harp: Being honest, I was definitely the best talent there. But I truly think that didn’t matter. I believe they picked me so I could win the trip to New York. Then once I showed up to New York it was marketed it like, “We got artists from everywhere coming here, so you artists out there should be apart of this.” [The] reason I feel that way is that they had me doing drops with no relevance to anything. It’s all good though, it was a solid look. I don’t even remember how I heard about it truly, I think they hit me up on Myspace.
E: I know you sponsor a high school basketball team. Can you elaborate on that? Did you play at all? Or any other sports?
CH: Yea, I sponsor the warm up gear. The last, like, 5 years there all the best athletes on the hoop squad was like my little brothers. I really helped them with their game so in return they talked to the coach about wearing my shirts and stuff while they warm up. Kind of like a shout out to me. Yea, I played on the basketball team. Massillon Tiger ‘04 hoop squad. Ask anybody about me that we played, I probably lit ‘em up. hahaha
E: Haha. Real talk, I think I remember seeing you play. But, what is your ultimate goal with music?
CH: Being remembered forever for the things I brought to the game!
E: What’s the scene like in Massillon? Is there much of a market for hip hop or do you think you’d need to expand out to bigger cities Toledo, Akron, or Cleveland?
CH: Honestly there isn’t much of a scene in Massillon. It’s only 28 thousand people total hahaha. I’m making it a scene now. Before me you may have never mentioned Massillon. Yes I think I need to expand out to the bigger cities, but I would do that regardless. Even if I lived in a city like Cleveland my whole life. It’s beyond the Ohio cities though, I’m thinking internationally.
E: What do you expect from this year’s Ohio Hip Hop Awards? Both personally and as an event?
CH: I don’t expect nothing from the Ohio Hip Hop Awards personally. My roots won’t allow it, I don’t expect nothing from my momma on the personal side. But as an event, I expect it to be very nice… It will display the underground talent that we have in Ohio.
Essince: Do you have any additional comments or shout outs?
Cy Harp: Just want to say thank you to you first off for even taking the time out to give me this interview. I show love to Ladies of All Honesty, Grady, Brook D, C.H.A.D, Grizz, Double Take Photography, all family & friends, and everybody that supports and don’t support me. I got love for everyone. On an ender, I just want to say to everybody… IF YOU’RE COMFORTABLE BEING YOURSELF, YOU’RE ALL HONESTY!
Look out for Cy at the Ohio Hip Hop Awards this year along with a lot of what Ohio has to offer the game September 18-20. AND BE SURE TO VOTE FOR YOUR FAVORITE ARTISTS, DJs, RADIO SHOWS, AND MUCH MORE!

Ohio Love // Essince
There clearly isn't enough latin rappers out there, so i had to get this guy on the site. His name is Essince and he's out of Stow, OH. Maybe we're seeing the new Big Pun or Fat Joe!!! Tell me what ya'll think of him and be honest.

DJ E-V Runs Ohio (mixtape)
Dead ass real, DJ E-V does his mixtape thing. From the cover work to the mixing to the concept to the overall presentation he's on his game. Not only that he's got T-Shirts made up for mixtape. How many of you can say you've done that? I'd tell you to take notes but that would mean you have to pay attention and well we know how that goes in 2008.Music wise this isn't your typical "hip hop" mixtape. It's just good music and if you know anything about Rapmullet you know we're all about good music. From Kanye's "Lovedown" LMFAO remix to the Kick Drums laced mix of "Thuggish Ruggish" by Bone there's something for everyone. The thing that got me hooked is the energy. I love the energy of the project. It's got that club/elctro vibe going on but it's cool. I mean if you looking to thug it out or go rob a cat this is not your theme music. If you looking to feel good tho this is the wheel. The DJ Won and E-V mix of "A Ohio-Milli" is CRAZY! Cats reppin' for their state like no other. If you ain't up on Chip Tha Ripper by now slap yourself. "Justice Freestyle" is far from lyrical gymnastics but this cat has mass appeal potential. Major props for E-V having that internet home base: www.djev.com. DJs today so busy trying to move units and get promotion yet don't have a home base for the real fans to go to. Add to the fact he's planning to have real tangible goods for sale outside of just a CD he's already winning for the simple fact he "gets" it. This project tho is what it is and if you don't believe me you can download it for yourself here. Peep the track list here. Follow the leader indeed.
hit up rapmullet for the rating!
