nonseq: I suggested the name
Tin Men to reflect our shared sense of humor...heartless
most of the time.
demancey: Most claim they
have love for the music, and then release
these JaRule-isms. If that’s the case,
then we're taking on roles as the anti.
J3551C4: Who
came up with the concept?
nonseq: Me.
demancey: He came up with
the name, and we built the concept from there.
You'll get a better explanation once the Tin
Men LP is released.
J3551C4:
What do you hope to accomplish in
the music industry as producers and artists?
demancey: To gain respect
amongst our peers. We want to be known as
producers of musical classics--the cats that
were a part of the movement of breathing new
life into the music.
nonseq: Hopefully, the Tin
Men name will be associated with works that
are universally viewed as classic.
J3551C4: Is
there a particular feel that you associate
to your music, i.e. the ridiculous genres
made up my mainstream music jerks like: gangsta
rap, chewstick rap, backpack rap, hardcore…
I don't even know where they get these from
but you know what I mean.
demancey: There isn’t
a particular feel that we can associate with,
because we have various styles of beat-making.
Nonseq has a more basic, grittier sound, while
I have more of a complex, musical one. Its
just good music when it all comes together.
We've been branded with this neo-soul title,
but if that’s how they wanna call it,
then that’s their opinion.
nonseq: I tend to create music
based on what I'm feeling emotionally at the
time, but that can encompass any genre. When
the Tin Men are working together, however,
we tend to lean towards retro-hip-hop sounds.
J3551C4: Are
you going to strictly remix songs or will
you be releasing works produced 100% by Tin
Men?
nonseq: We have plans to release
at least 1 more remix album featuring artists
from the Carolinas as well as 2 albums of
all original material featuring our artists.
