A queen for the real KING[s]

This weekend we had the pleasure of partying with Miami's very own Rick Ross, at his album release party for "Teflon Don". His fourth number one album, and man was it a blast! We had the opportunity to hang out with some of hip-hop’s best and the party went on till six in the morning. Although the night was fantastic, there was one thing that seem to be out of place……. the beautiful Dollicia Bryan. She’s on the cover of KING August 2010 and man is she stunting. We said hello and even conversed for a bit and before leaving she made sure to promote herself for LUMNO….

Demolition- Soul Searching
interview after the jump...

Introduce yourself to the world.

What up what up world! Its ya boy Demolition. I'm happy to be here with Lumno Media!

What is your main purpose of putting out music?

Well my main purpose of putting out music is to live out a lifelong dream. To use a god-given talent i have been crafting for some time.

What was the first hip hop record you ever heard?

Well i honestly don't remember back that much since hip hop wasn't played in my house like that, but songs like Brenda's gotta baby by tupac come to mind

Top 5 rappers ever?

Hmm that's tough for me. Rakim,Nas,Pac... Prodigy was a monster back in the day... and a unknown to most but a true talent was Slaughter Rico!

Your major musical influences?

I was always a huge fan of illmatic, but my influence comes from where i first worked on writing, and that's poetry and writing. I'm more James Baldwin than anything

Moment that defines you as a artist?

I feel like that moment hasn't happened yet. Each year my style and the topics i touch change. I feel i haven't settled and reached my defining moment.. Yet!

What emotions do you try to bring to your music?

I try to invoke feelings people may not like to speak upon on a daily basis. I like to dig deep into life, and that reflects in my music. A constant search for truth.

One thing you bring to hip hop that you feel is unique?

What i feel that is unique about me in hiphop is my background and the honesty that comes with it. My upcoming Mixtape titled Soul Searching maybe a concept record, but if you
listen hard enough, you may see a little of me, and yourself, in the stories and characters portrayed.
