One thing we love about the underground bass scene is that there will always be an influx of upcoming producers that are absolutely crushing it. These gems are usually folks within that one to ten thousand followers mark, especially on soundcloud. If you’re from the state of Texas then you should be proud, there is a gem hidden amongst ya and his name is Thicc Boy. Today we celebrate the release of his newest venture, a four track ep titled “Cursed Speech”. If you’re a jack of all trades and like it rough, weird, and heavy then this was made just for you :). We got the honor of premiering a personal favorite from the bunch that goes by Malevolent Shring, a song that will leave your repeat button broken. Now it’s time to take a deeper dive as to why we consider this what we like to call, a certified bop.
“This EP more so than some like deep philosophical journey for my project or something like that is really what I’d consider a stepping stone. I think the whole process is constantly striving to get better or be more creative and i feel like I had worked myself into a box with this style of tunes! So finally dropping this EP has felt like a good way to move into doing different more creative things.”
DIVING DEEP W/ THICC BOY
1. How did you decide to get into making music? Was there a certain event in your childhood/life that made you stop and realize that you wanted to pursue a career in music?
Music has always been something I’ve done from piano lessons super young I always had some kind of instruments at home. I got hurt playing college football and that was the real turning point though I realized I needed a new thing and I dove head first into production, starting with hip hop in 2017 and moving to dubstep around 2019
2. It can be very hard sometimes to separate music from day-to-day life when it’s a huge part of your life. How do you personally separate your artist life from your everyday life, and have you faced any challenges doing so?
I think this is where I’m at now! Making strides in my “real” life have made it hard to even have time to get my EP rolled out! Which obviously has taken me a lot of time and effort to get ready. It’s definitely a fine line to balance and especially to determine what’s important! Just trying to continue to have fun with it no matter what just loving making beats.
3. As an artist, you can experience a number of roadblocks along the way to achieving your goals. What motivates you to continue to be creative and make music even when times get tough?
I think I’ve finally got people around me who are good about keeping me motivated! Having friends now that challenge me to be better has been huge in helping me evolve and continue to get better.
4. What has been the biggest lesson you’ve learned since you started making music? Do you have any words of wisdom for aspiring producers hoping to follow in your footsteps?
I think if I have advice I’d give the advice I would give myself which would be to seek criticism over gratification. It is nice to hear stuff is good or you’re doing great but to actually get better it takes real feedback and the ability to take that and grow.
