Beat Talk: Interview with Mono Bagends (talks about his NEW single "You Drive Me Crazy")

 The Beat Yard recently got in touch with rising New York based recording artist Mono Bagends for another one on one "Beat Talk" interview.  This time around Mono Bagends has a new single to promote called "You Drive Me Crazy" featuring singer Mela Bela, with D-Animal behind the boards.  Read the interview below to find out what Mono Bagends has to say about his new soon to be hit record!

 
The Beat Yard:  What have you been up to Mono Bagends sense the last time we've spoke?
Mono Bagends:  Working on getting this music all over the world...been recording and mostly doing interviews. 

The Beat Yard:  For those that haven't heard it yet, how would you describe your latest single... "You Drive Me Crazy"?
Mono Bagends:   Its a pop/dance type of song..fast paced...a club banger...it's about a sour relationship. It has a strong hook sung by Mela Bela.


The Beat Yard:  What words would you use to define the beat?  
Mono Bagends:  It's hot..its fast paced dance type of beat...very different from my previous records.


The Beat Yard:  This is a hot track, I hear that you reached out to D-Animal for this track, how did you hook up with him?  
Mono Bagends:  I reached out to the company that shops his material...we made it happen.


The Beat Yard:  Do you plan on working with D-Animal again in the future? 
Mono Bagends:   We already have....I just recording a second song using his beats.


The Beat Yard:  Do you know of any artists that D-Animal has worked with prior to working with you?
Mono Bagends:  E-40, Paul Wall and LL Cool J to name a few. 


 






The Beat Yard:  In a previous interview you said you hopped to one day rhyme over a beat by Dr. Dre or Timbaland, have you added any other dream producers to that list so far?  
Mono Bagends:  Not really...I don't get caught up in a producers name...if it's hot I'll rock out with it. At this point, dream producers isn't my focus point.


The Beat Yard:   Have you ever considered getting into producing yourself, or at least producing your own records?
Mono Bagends:  Yes I have...I co-produce all my records...I don't make the beats but I co-produce the records...a lot of people think a beat maker and a producer are the same things but they are not.


The Beat Yard:  You are the owner of the independent label Bagends Records, and I know pushing your music first is a priority at this stage, but have you considered signing any other artists or even hiring an in-house production staff?
Mono Bagends:  I have considered both of those things.  I have some people in mind but I need to get my project off and running first. I would be looking for a female singer before a rapper....too many headaches with rappers. 

 
The Beat Yard:  What else would you like to add, anything else you would like to speak on?
Mono Bagends:   I want to thank you for the interview and give a shout out to all my fans and everyone who has been supporting the movement. You can check out my career and music at the following sites.

Beat Talk: Mono Bagends

Mono Bagends has been burning up the Internet, and The Streets with his banging hot new single and Youtube Video "On Fire", and while Mono Bagends is blazing speakers everywhere across the nation The Beat Yard decides to get in touch with the rising artist and talk to him about "beats" while he's still hot!    

 

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. Everyone should check out my video "On Fire" on you tube (link below)....The visual brings the song to life. A man overcoming his struggles to fulfill his destiny. Here are other links where you can follow my career and hear great music.
