The young and talented artist known as Spoat, out of the Miami area, sits down with us to speak about his latest projects, some of his influences and much more! check out our exclusive interview below!
ViewHipHop: Who is Spoat? where are you from? etc..
Spoat is young dude representing Hollywood Liberia, Fl. Im business man first, artist second. I come from the struggle so I use music as a way to be a voice for the ones who still in it. And I smoke like chimney lol!
ViewHipHop: Being born in Miami, how has the recent run of music from artists like Rick Ross, DJ Khaled, Ace Hood and others effected your style music?
The recent run of music didn’t effect my style but I can’t say it really motivated me. To see people from where I’m from, captivate fans across world doing the same thing I love to do is serious motivation.
ViewHipHop: you are releasing your 2nd “Spoat Illustrated” mixtape, what features and producers can we expect on the project?
Im releasing 3rd ‘Spoat illustrated” so you can expect production by @Ramonsmusic @Izzle @Vitodropthat @Bossgrind @StreetempireMG features from @TherealyungSouf @thatboychungo @OfficialScrilla and more. The single off my mixtape “Hood Forbes” is a metaphorical song about a young fly, go getter who wants more than what the hood has to offer.
ViewHipHop: i heard that at a young age you were inspired musically by Jay Z, The Hot Boyz & 2 Pac, do you feel like your music today has a sound like theirs, or any new artists today?
Being that my music is inspired by the Hot boys, and Jay z I would get them comparisons when i was younger. But over time I developed my own style and flow. “You gotta give em that shit to turn up to,” but I got life stories type songs, the creative type songs too. I got all sorts of flows” But you can be the judge of that.
ViewHipHop: with such a major spotlight on the Miami music scene at the moment, what are you as a rising star going to do to stick out among all the major artists in Miami?
What I’m do to stick out amongst a lot of raw talent from the crib (Broward /Miami) is travel. I plan to hit the road, let a lot more people know I exist, connect more with my fans, and stay consist as possible with music and videos. I know my time coming though.
ViewHipHop: when working in the studio what are some of your needs and wants?!? any certain must haves for you to work?!?
All I need in the studio is some loud of course, and some snacks for the munchies. I don’t take much for me to get in my zone.
ViewHipHop: Have you worked with any major artists from the Miami area?
I’ve worked with Yung Scrilla, Yung souf, Lee major, Ace Hood, Brisco, Billy Blue, Ball Greezy, Busta Free, Young A.c, C-ride and Piccalo. I met A.c for the first time at Brisco crib, where we recorded “Tupac”prod. by @Whoispressplay. I didn’t meet Blue until I was at Poe boy back in 2010 where we drop a song call “Walk alone” prod by @Bossgrind. Souf, Scrilla, and Major my brothers and I knew everybody else from doing my thing on the underground scene in Miami.
ViewHipHop: if you could work with any producers in the game, who would it be and why would you choose them?
Thats kind of a hard question lol Its a lot of dope producers in the game, picking just one to me can be nerve wrecking.
ViewHipHop: being a young grinding artist, can you see yourself on a upcoming XXL freshman list?
Most definitely I can see myself on the XXL Freshman list, My music is dope and I have a story that’s relatable to a lot people that in some type of struggle, I feel I would be a real breath of fresh air in Hip-Hop. I been putting in a long hard grind since 2007 and I still am. To top if off, I don’t think it has been anybody on the Freshman list from Florida since Plies.
