The Beat Yard: How would you describe yourself as an artist?
Mono Bagends: Unique...I have a different style. I truly do not sound like anyone else. I've been nominated at Underground Music Awards for Most Original Solo Artist so there is some merit behind my statement.

The Beat Yard: What type
of beats bring out the best in what you do?
Mono Bagends: It's
hard to say..I am versatile. I don't look for anything in-particular
but I know what I want when I hear it. I do like high energy
tracks....fast paced..but it doesn't have to be those type of beats. Basically, when I hear a beat I know whether I want to rock out over it.
The Beat Yard: For those
that haven't heard the single yet, how would you describe the beat to your
latest single "On Fire"?
Mono Bagends: It
is simply hot....hard to describe in words...when you hear it it just
gives you that good feeling...you want to hear more. If I needed to pick
one word it would be inspiring. The chorus is ridiculous and the flow
and lyrics are monsters. I am very proud of it.
The Beat Yard: What
producers have you worked with?
Mono Bagends: Luxxury Music did "On Fire". I have also worked with T-Weezy, DR Period, D-Sharp and D-Animal.
The Beat Yard: What
producers would you like to work with in the future?
Mono Bagends: Dr.
Dre has to be number one. He is so talented, I would love to see what I
could create with his guidance. Timbaland has always been someone I
wanted to work with also. I feel that I could really ride his beats.
The Beat Yard: Do you
ever buy beats from up and coming beatmakers?
Mono Bagends: Of Course. Some of the better beats I have
gotten are from up and comers. My boy T-Weezy is sick. I don't care what
your name is...if it's hot...it's hot and we can rock out.
The Beat Yard: What is your process for selecting beats?
Mono Bagends: I
don't have a step by step process. Sometimes producers send them to me
via e-mail, sometimes they are pre-made and I hear them right in the
studio and sometimes we create them right there in the moment around my
flow and concept.
The Beat Yard: Who are
your top 5 favorite producers of all time?
Mono Bagends: DR. Dre, Timbaland, Manny Fresh, Kanye West and Scott Storch.
The Beat Yard: Do you like to be in the studio with the producer or would you rather them send you beats and you work on them at your own pace?
Mono Bagends: I like working at my own pace..I don't mind producer feedback but I prefer to initially create it myself.
The Beat Yard: Is there
any last minute things you would like to say, or anything else you would like
to plug?
Mono Bagends: Absolutely.
