Charlie Slum: I’ve been rapping since the age of about 7 years old. Little
bullshit here & there. Then around 14-16 I started recording, doing
shows etc. We (Greenhouse Hooligans) got serious as a collective though I’d say, in the past 4 years with varying degrees and patterns of
seriousness and success. I’ve been doing music with Vaguz Nerve since we
were like 12/13 and B1S since I was 17.
HipHopInformant: I notice you have influences from Tupac to John Coltrane. Can you
give me your top 5 Hip-Hop artists and why?
Charlie Slum: I just love any music my ears perceive to be good. As far as a list,
I mean this will be strictly in terms of personal favourites and not
really in order of best to worst but..
Nas - To me, Nas is the textbook definition of the perfect rapper and
when I was just learning, honing my skills, and finding my sound it
seems like he was breaking down how to rap in the process of
rhyming..the phrasing is always superb, stories so vivid and intricate.
He’s Scorsese.
