Solstice:
Ok, what up HHA, got ya boy Havic here, he up n comin, givin vets a run for they money. Havic, let em know what up!
HaViC:
nuttin much just chillin was actually gonna start writin for my battle vrs leeno but was good ave
Solstice:
Alright, so Ima kick it off with a very simple, very played question: What got you started?
HaViC:
shit i cant even tell you but ima keep it reall when i was like 8 i used to listen to them mainstream cats like bow wow and them and i really aint care what they was sayin i only payed attention to the beats and the flow used to write down other peoples music till one day i was just like hold up i could do better then this(when i was like 10-11) and then i wrote for a bit and quit all together
HaViC:
and didnt get back into the game till i was about 15 when i started listenen to reall hiphop and now i think im at my peak but improvin on a day to day basis
Solstice:
Great to hear your still elevatin. Alright, a lot of artists today use past influences in their music. Take a look at your past,are there any moments that influence your music today? Any deaths or something like that?
HaViC:
well im from new york but was rased in vegas mostly and ive never needed anythin in my life i grew up wit my moms and no pops and for some reason i would never stay on my part of town… like u could say that i used to stay in a suburban area but that was like my sleepin spot cuz moms was always workin so u would never catch me ou t the hood and im sayin for someone that coulda grown up as a punk
HaViC:
and a spoiled ass prick i sure didnt pick that rout but yeah so basicully now im livin in dominican republic cuz of all my “good deeds” you feel me lol but i basicully get my insperation from my life, girls, and homies life’s, and i said screw all that bangin and slangin and now im on this hip hop ish workin almost 24/7
Solstice:
I feel ya on that one, gettin about 2 hours o sleep a night myself. Well, look at all the rappers throughout history… Tupac, Biggie, EZE, and all the rappers of today like Em, Jay, and NaS. Which to you respect the most, and which do you think need to have they tounge cut out?
HaViC:
lmao
HaViC:
i personally think that tupac was more of a poet he let errone know wat he wanted to say so he wasnt that lyrical wit it didnt really use metaphores and ish like that personally i hate eze his voice and all that irritates me, em is and has always been doin his thing and nas i aint been fallowin him recently but with that 1mic join he killed it.
HaViC:
personally i find it funny how cats hate on jay z i respect him cuz shit he came up spittin fire he’s made his money he has done his job and now that he gots money people dont wat him to talk about it shit let him be mainstream if he wants f***ck wat yall think if he can make 10 more mil off of his mouth then i aint hatin let the man get his paper
Solstice:
Haha! Good to see a Jay Z fan, not enough of them around.. Alright, so what about the cats on HHA? Who do you truely respect, and who do you hate?
HaViC:
well i respect ma boy’s casper, wordgames, rydin, noonz, leeno, inc, and sacryfice, oh and i cant forget my boy sydeil he the one that put me on to the ave and if it wasnt for him i prolly wouldnt be this elevated right now.
HaViC:
and i dont really hate noone on da ave but i just dont really get the point of all this text battlen i think them cats just do it for fun in my opinion. but ehhh its w/e
Solstice:
You musta read my mind, I was just about to ask you your opinion on text battling. So I take it you don’t text?
HaViC:
yeah i text but i actually do it to elevate my vocab and meta’s for my audio ish
HaViC:
and its also sometin to do
Solstice:
Ah, I see. Good practice, and a way to kill some time. Alright, so, I have checked out some of your threads, but I never did get one thing answered. Do you do GFX?
HaViC:
well sometimes i play around but ive had bad luck gettin ps so i use somethin called collage maker but notin major, but fresh is one man i truelly respect when it comes to that
Solstice:
I got ya, and Fresh does have some serious GFX skills. Ok, so I got another question for ya. If you could pick 3 dudes from HHA to do a collab with, that would go on an album nationwide, who would they be.
HaViC:
casper-wordgames-and either sacryfice or noonz thats a tuff decision on the last one
Solstice :
Id love to hear that track. Ok, now, moving on. A lot of artists are going multi genre now-days. Besides rap, what are some other genres that you enjoy?
HaViC:
hmmm r&b of course and i can put up with rock and classical music is always iight oh and at parties i listen to regueeton
Solstice:
Sweet, glad to hear you like classical. Now, we’re gettin ready to wind it down now, but I do have a few more questions.Some people dont ever want to be famous. Tell me,can you see yourself signed to a major label, rich and famous in a few years? Or would you rather just live without the paparazzi and abscence of privacy?
HaViC:
no i can and i would definitly like to be signed to a major label rich and famous lol
Solstice:
Yeah, I can see the pros of that. Okay, almost done. If you could pick any label, which would it be?
HaViC:
who is lupe signed with
Solstice:
Ya know, Im not really sure… But I think people will know what your talking about.
HaViC:
yeah well either him, aftermath or interscope, but those are just perferences but as long as i get to do my thing ima do it
Solstice:
I see. So, take a look at all the songs youve made, and tell me which you think would be your personal favorite.
HaViC:
hhhhmmmmmmmmmm thats hard besides tha fact that i have a lot of new tracks that havent been uploaded yet for a specific reason… but anyways i would have to say cryes herself to sleep wich i just posted today ft. wordgames…
Solstice:
Alright, Ill be sure to check it out. Now, last question. Any last minute messages to HHA? Shouts outs? Challenges? Anything?
HaViC:
