In Shantou, where the hip-hop atmosphere is weak, it can be said that it is more difficult to meet someone who also loves hip-hop music and wants to make hip-hop music, but it is impossible to meet them. Their meeting adds a bit of color to the hip-hop atmosphere in Shantou. We also asked them how they met and started to devote themselves to hip-hop music creation together. Their answer is "Everything is fate! Hahaha, we are classmates in elementary school, playing beatbox together in junior high school and high school, and then starting to form a team in 16 years after working. "
when they started to set up a team obsessed with beatbox in 16 years, they did not choose to continue their study of the most familiar beatbox, but set up a strange and familiar rap group "Artascope Kaleidoscope". The strangeness was due to an unprecedented attempt, but the familiarity was still the same drum, but in a different way. When I asked them why they want to transform, they affirmed that "in fact, there is a very close relationship between the two. At first, we would listen to a lot of hiphop music when playing beatbox, and the transformation was to express our lifestyle and attitude through rap", but in fact, there are many people who rap through beatbox transformation, such as Tizzy T, who is also from Chaoshan area (Chaozhou). He also rapped through beatbox transformation and won the title of "South China" in 21.
Artascope kaleidoscope has achieved great success in just two years, with tens of thousands of fans and recognition from many predecessors in the circle. Along the way, they will encounter some creative setbacks, and they clearly say that "the more songs you write, the more you will find the lyrics and motivation, so the two of us will sometimes struggle, and a song may be considered".
On the road of music creation, there are some good voices, of course, there are also some bad voices. The most important thing is to have an enterprising heart, and they look at these gossips like this: "Let them go! Those who know understand themselves, there is no need to care! Just do yourself ",but this is actually the case. No matter what industry, there will be such a voice.
There are 1, ways for 1, rappers to get inspiration, but they can't do without life, and so can the Artascope kaleidoscope. At the same time, they also explained to us about the source of creative inspiration and what they want to convey: "Creative inspiration comes from life, happens by themselves, or is shared by everyone. We still want to convey our positive energy through lyrics, which should be the reason why everyone likes us. "
On June 1st this year, the single "Days Without Work" was very popular on the Internet, and it was among the top songs in Tik Tok and became one of the divine comedy in Tik Tok. Their explanation for this song was that "this song is an idea after we quit our jobs. After we devote ourselves to music, we don't have to work from nine to five as before. What this song wants to express is that you can listen to this song when you work hard every day and have a holiday occasionally. I hope everyone can have a happy mood during the holiday. "
Near the Spring Festival, they also wrote a single with Chaoshan holiday flavor, "Pai Hong Bao", which reflected the harmonious atmosphere of Chaoshan people during the Spring Festival and some local customs in Chaoshan. For this song, they said, "You should give a red envelope every holiday. Pai Hong Bao expresses the expression of Chaoshan dialect, and writing this song is purely handsome". This song was also sung in dialect form, and when asked, they were not afraid that the dialect would give this song. They said, "It doesn't matter, after all, our main focus is Mandarin, and singing dialect songs is to tell everyone that we are from 754".
In this year's "China New Rap", in fact, Artascope and his brothers also appeared at the audition site in Guangzhou Station, but unfortunately, they lost the election, but this did not stop their love for music. When we asked them how they felt about the atmosphere, they said, "It's very good, hahaha, I've seen a lot of Rapper that I haven't seen before, and I've made many friends", and they also said that G.E.M., which is quite controversial.
At the same time, why is Artascope so obsessed with HipHop culture? In fact, they are influenced by the "One Finger Group" also from Shantou. This group has been in the army for decades and has been insisting on promoting Chaoshan dialect rap. It is essential for a perfect combination to have a professional music producer. They said that "our current music calculations are all made independently, and we also hope to have a good producer to lead us". At the same time, the music producers who help them a lot are "AZooM and AXITEE".
finally, we asked them what their plans are this year, and they said "national tour".
