This episode of the Garden State Hip Hop Hour is a special one. Our host Rich Zeller and Sloppy Vinyl Studios have teamed up to continue to bring you premium quality interview content, and after a crazy year, we’re back stronger than ever. This is episode one.
On this episode Rich invites Plainfield, NJ native Mike Lowery Bludoe to talk about his rap career. Before the interview even begins, we’re already impressed with Mike’s dedication. Having been called in only two hours before we got started, Mike knows what it means to stay ready.
Mike opens up to us about his rap journey, which sprouted at the young age of nine, to staying connected while being away, and getting right back to work as soon as he came home from prison. This year alone the artist has dropped five singles and two albums. He delves deep into what influenced his sound, mentioning growing up with his grandma in Greenville, Alabama, and how he is incorporating the blues music he would hear around his home, into his “trap core”- leading to the creation of what he calls “trap blues”. He also talks to us about his upcoming project, “Blue October” which drops on Mischief Night. The passion for his work is clear, and this just might be the rapper who puts Plainfield on the map.
He goes on to give us a sneak peak into a new project he’s working on, named after his signature sound, “Trap Blues”. To us it sounds like it’s a project he’s really proud of, saying that this is the project that will separate him from other artists. This is no ordinary project, “now you’re about to get the real Mike Lowery Bluedoe”. Stay tuned to see who that is.
