Doc Dvrddy - Fear and Loathing

IMG_1744.JPG

Yo Yo wassup Doc Dvrddy! It’s been a while since we had you on so i figure we just start by catching up with you. What’s new on your end?

It’s been a minute for sure. It’s great to see the growth you guys are making. Shit yo, I’ve been recording like crazy. I recently got let go from my job, so I’ve been in a weird space for the past few weeks. It focused me though. I think I was becoming a little too complacent. I got a 4 track EP on the called “DRVDDPOOL” in the works. Comic books played such a big part of my childhood, I feel it’s only right to have comic book-themed projects. I recently just dropped the first single “Live & Die” .

So tell us about fear and loathing what inspired you to make the project, what’s the theme of it, and why did you decide to give it that name?

The original name of the project was “Nasty 19” a lot of the songs were a year or so old. I’m now 21 lol so I felt like the title didn’t fit. I chose Fear & Loathing because those were the emotions I felt when I recorded the records at the time.

The cover art goes crazy!! Who designed it, and how does it fit the theme of the project?  

The designer’s name is Ashanté Dujour. She’s a Howard student that I met at a social gathering Howard was having called sesh collective. She really did her own style with it & I appreciate her for the participation towards the project. I like my covers drawn because it really allows my imagination to run. 

So you got a ton of fire producers including Yung Nab, Donnie Katana, & G Cozy and
many more talented producers how did meet each of them, and what led to you guys
working together to get some songs on your album?

The internet is a crazy place lol I would spend hours searching threw YouTube for beats. Shoutout all of these producers cause they still supporting the guys. We got a whole lot of new stuff coming real soon.

The whole tape is fire bro buy my favorite song gotta be “Daily”, tell us more about this song?

The beat already had that bounce to it. The lyrics really just came to me while I was listening to it over and over again. The synths remind me of like an alarm going in the morning. 

So you only included one feature on the album which was Martyheemcherry, how did the
two of you meet and what drove your choice to give him the only guest feature?


Man, to be honest, I can’t remember the very first we met. But that’s the homie, I respect his artistry. He brings his own vibe every time to the track. It’s never formulaic. When I wrote out my verse, he came in mind automatically. The way the song came together was honestly legendary as well.

So let’s talk Chanel Gang what's new with the label as far as music and the individual
artists?

Man Chanel Gang as a whole we’ve been locked in the recording. Jimmy got a new tape in the works. Sage going crazy right now. We got a song out right now called “No Assist” off his “Weight of Love” tape. The beat is insane on that one. Chachi got his tape with Fendi coming up. Doc & Chachi 2.5 out now go check that out man; Chachi & I did it again.

Will, we ever get a Chanel Gang themed tape with all the artists on it, and when are you and Chachi putting out another collab tape?

Yeah, we def got a Lil EP coming for y’all. “Chanel No.1” gonna be 3 tracks featuring JimmyOG, Doc Drvddy, & Chachi. Sage got a lot of crank coming y’all way. Stay on the lookout for that. Yeah, Chachi & I def got a lot more music. 


What can we expect from you in 2020??


This year has been eventful, to say the least. I did my first paid gig this year. That’s a big step for me, I love performing & someone willing to book me & allow me to talk my shit is always appreciated. I dropped my first official project. Paid for out of my pockets, with professional mixing & mastering. My video “Broke Boy” just broke 6k in 2 months. Big shoutout to Donnie for posting the video on his channel! This the most views I’ve gotten so far. My plan going into the ’20s is just expand. Different sounds. Different video concepts. 

Any last words?

I appreciate you guys. For real for real. Stay tapped in on this Drvddy shit. On this Chanel Gang shit. DRVDDPOOL coming real soon. Go stream that “Live & Die”, go stream “Fear & Loathing” & don’t litter 
Peace

Chachi - Murder Capital

IMG_2978.jpg

 What’s up Chachi! It’s been a while since we had you on Nefarious Suppy! So to get this new year started what’s new with you give us some updates on what’s happening with you, your music, and Chanel Gang?

First off Happy 2020 to the Nefarious Family! It’s been a hectic time since we last talked, I’ve been just working trying to stay consistent as possible. I dropped two tapes in 2019 one being my second collab with my bro and “Chanel Gang” Member Doc Drvddy titled Doc & Chachi 2: “How High” and My First Ever Solo Ep “Murder Capital” over the summer! I got a lot of music in the vault right now as does the rest of Chanel Gang just been preparing ourselves to have a big decade for these 20s!

So coming into 2020 what’s something you are excited about and what can your fans expect from you in the coming year?

Just excited to embark on this new decade can’t wait to see transitions in not only my music but music in general. My Fans can expect double the content they got from me this past year meaning Tapes Videos and just our good content and just giving them a better opportunity to get to know me a bit more!

Tell us about your latest release Murder Capital EP, what inspired it, and how does this latest body of work fit into your artistic image?

I and the Last Cult decided to part ways this past year but that’s still Family the bro Cobraz should have some New Content on the way soon. What Inspired my “Murder Capital” EP was just being a Washingtonian and showing people roots of DC Street Culture that molded the city into what it is today while also shedding light on problems occurring now far as our battle with Gentrification and DC Culture being diminished. Also just letting the youth of this area know that they can do shit and be stars themselves I think it helps with my artistic image to let people know I can be serious and rap about topics of meaning that actually matter!

So you and Doc Dvrddy are like Young Thug and Gunna every time you guys get together the product is heat! And you continue that trend on the trackWeeks”. How is it working with him in the studio and how does your creative process mesh with his?

IMG_2977.jpg

Lmaooo appreciate that foreal just tryna be the best we can be! It’s always a movie every time we in the studio I’ve known him for damn near 20 years so we already know wassup with each we pump songs out quick together usually even on our last two projects we finished both in a matter of a couple of months! Our creative processes mesh well cause we brothers at the end of the day we just be on the same page and we both want this shit real bad so we just bring genuine love to each track we make!

Walk us through each track, and what is your favorite track and why?

Well, there’s 6 songs and 2 interludes on the EP and I’m pretty much just giving you an in-depth look of what’s going on in Washington, DC along with introducing everyone to who I am and just things I’ve dealt with in the past couple of years with life and music! No funny but every song I dropped is my favorite even the interludes there are songs that stick out such as “Darkside” and “My Time Is Now” but every song and interlude on there has a unique story you just have to listen but front to back I think it’s a great listen if you actually listen you find a lot of hidden gems in it.

Are we going to get any visuals for Murder Capital?
