There’s no denying the obvious…if you ever get the opportunity to check out JAG’s music, you will hear something that will make you recognize that this dude’s flow is on a much higher level than most. We recently caught up with JAG to get to know a little bit about the man behind the music. With a new mixtape, titled, ‘The Art of Freestyle (Crown Me Edition)’, slated to drop in a few days, JAG prepares his inevitable takeover.
1. First of all I must take a second to let you know how much we appreciate this opportunity. Please introduce yourself to the fans and let them know who you are.
JAG “Chubby Jag Larsiny Family PDub (P.W.I.D.) Whats hat’nin.”
2. For those who don’t know, your flow may deceive some of those that may not have heard of you, many people tend to think you are from the East Coast, where exactly are you from?
JAG “South Central Los Angeles”
3. HHABC have been loyal fans of you for quite some time now, everyone who listens to you seem to spark an interest in you. One question that always seems to pop-up is how did you and Cassidy hook up?
JAG “A friend of mind ran into him and put a word in.”
4. Up until the emergence of artists like Meek Mill, Jay Electronica, J Cole, and Wale, hip hop was really suffering in terms of quality, where do you see the rap game going in the next 5-10 years?
JAG “I see it coming back around to real rap and the newer are starting to rap again.”
5. You’ve been a beast on the underground circuit, killing every beat from Dr Dre’s ‘Kush’ to Diddy’s ‘Love You No More’, is there any chance of you dropping an official album for the mainstream audience?
JAG “Of course, I been putting out these mixtapes, so that my fans can grow with me as a artist. But the album is coming for sure.”
6. As you’ve probably already heard, your style of rap may sound to be heavily influenced by East Coast hip hop, who are some of the artists past or present that have influenced your music?
JAG “Snoop, Pac, Big, Jay-z, & Jada”
7. In your opinion, who would you name as the top 5 rappers of all time…dead or alive?
JAG “Big, Pac, Jay-z, & Eminem”
8. If you could change anything about the music game, what would that be?
JAG “Politics… It would probably be more better rappers if it wasn’t for Politics”
9. Coming from California, you probably have some sort of respect for the legendary Dr Dre. Do you think we will ever get a chance to hear the infamous ‘Detox’ album?
JAG “I hope so. We been waiting for it for a long time. I think its gonna change history.”
10. Tell us a little about your upcoming project, ‘Art of the Freestyle (Crown Me Edition)…
JAG “This one I did for the real hip hop fans.”
11. What else should expect from you in the upcoming months? Do you have any other major projects in the works?
JAG “I’m always working. I’m all over Cassidy Apply Pressure 3 mixtape that’s coming out and we also have a Larsiny Family album in the works and my very own Bret Hart Experience 2.”
12. If you could describe your music in one word, what would that be?
JAG “Pure”
