Beat Talk: Az-Iz talks about his upcoming prjects!
Rising indie hip hop recording artist Az-Iz talks about his upcoming projects, mixtapes, buying beats and MORE in this one on one, in-depth interview with The Beat Yard. Check out what he has to say here in the interview below.
The Beat Yard: Hey Az-Iz could you tell our readers a little bit about yourself? Could you introduce yourself?
Az-Iz: I’m just a regular guy. I like sports, food, beer and music (laughs), but I am a highly motivated individual. I’ve never been one to just “settle”. Ever since I was a little kid, I remember always having a vision, a dream, a plan. Granted, that dream changed SEVERAL times growing up, I ALWAYS had aspirations to be GREAT. I come from a hood in one of the poorest communities in our country, Detroit, Michigan. So, growing up, I experienced and saw the worst in people and our country and I believe that is part of my drive to be more, to be better.
The Beat Yard: You are currently working on a mixtape and your self titled album Az-Iz, could you tell the readers what type of beats the listeners can expect to hear on this project?
Az-Iz: Well, I can tell you that the selection will be a reflection of myself. There will be a nice variety of music on the album AND the mixtape. The entire album will feature beats from Young Goku, Young B, and Beatamatix while the mixtape will feature beats from those 3 producers as well as a few “remixes” of popular songs. There will be new-school club beats, trap beats, classic beats as well as some story music. I bring variety and originality to the table. #snowdat
The Beat Yard: What types of beats bring out the best in what you do?
Az-Iz: Really, I do not lean towards a specific beat “type”, I get into any music that I can “feel”. Basically, if it’s a quality beat, it allows me to be at the top of my game. The type and BPM really doesn’t have an impact. I’m a fan of MANY music genres. My two favorite bands are Pink Floyd and Green Day, BIG difference just between those two. I have a diverse pallet when it comes to my music taste (laughs)
The Beat Yard: What types of sounds do you enjoy hearing in beats the most?
Az-Iz: I’m definitely a fan of hats and kick drums, but really, I enjoy anything different that works together. A GREAT example is what my boy Young Goku did with the instruments on the beat to my upcoming single, “Time Is Money”. Ya’ll will definitely have to check that out when it dropped WORLDWIDE on May 5th.
The Beat Yard: Who are some of the producers you are working with for these upcoming projects?
Az-Iz: (laughs) Guess I got a little too detailed earlier. The 3 producers I will be working with on my album are Beatamatix, Young Goku, and Young B. My mixtape will be featuring a larger variety of producers, but mostly those three at the core of everything I do.
The Beat Yard: Who are some producers or beatmakers that you would like to work with in the future?
Az-Iz: I’m actually REALLY happy with the quality and variety I get out of my 3 producers, but, if I were given the opportunity, I would LOVE to work with beats from David Banner, Swizz Beatz, & Manny Fresh just to name a few.
The Beat Yard: Who are your favorite producers?
Az-Iz: MY producers are my favorite producers, they will be household names VERY soon: Beatamatix, Young Goku and Young B.
The Beat Yard: What are your top 5 favorite instrumentals?
Az-Iz: “Shook Ones” – Mobb Deep
“5 On It” – The Luniz
“Rubberband Man” – T.I.
“Time Is Money” – Az-Iz
“Hate It or Love It” – The Game
The Beat Yard: For up and coming producers that would like to submit beats to you, how do they go about doing that?
Az-Iz: Send all beats and beat snippets (with price details) to OfficialAzIzTV@gmail.com
Do not send them if you are going to get mad when they get rejected. Constructive criticism is part of this business and just like my music is not for everybody, not all beats are for everybody. But I am always open to working with new talent.
The Beat Yard: Do you buy beats?
Az-Iz: Yes I do. I buy ALL my beats except for remixes for mixtapes of course.
The Beat Yard: Do you prefer a producer to send you a track, or do you like producers to be more hands on with you in the studio?
Az-Iz: Both suit me just fine. It’s always nice to work with a producer, but I find that most producers work best when you give them an idea and let them run with it. It’s WHAT THEY DO.
The Beat Yard: Is there anything else you would like to mention or plug in this interview that we haven't touched on?
Az-Iz: BIG shout out to South East Hip-Hop Magazine for all the support and hard work behind my movement, SNOWDAT! Also, shout out to everyone with my team, GMT (Grown Man Team) as well as my family at the Realistik Network. You GOT TO have a solid team around you that you can trust and I am blessed with JUST that. Shout out to the artists that will be featuring on my album including Keyz 2 Tha Game, General Grown, Sweets, and a few more. Also, MAKE SURE you grab your copy of “Time Is Money” on May 5th from either Amazon, GooglePlay, iTunes or ANY OTHER digital media retailer and get ready for the release of my upcoming album. Also, don’t forget to subscribe to the mailing list @www.OfficialAzIzTV.com. And as ALWAYS, SALUTE THE FANS!!!

The Beat Yard: When selecting music for your mixtapes is there a certain sound that you go for?
DJ Nero Maserati: Actually my titles sets my sounds. It's like the title of a book or movie basically tells you what your in store for. CW3 RELOADED had my mind set at an up beat bouncy flow. Not on a twerk level but more on that action/adventure movie sound. You know thrilling. No dull moments period from one song to the next.

Beat Talk: Shys Debiocci
Current South East Hip Hop Magazine featured artist Shys Debiocci sits down and talks with us here at THE BEAT YARD about his forthcoming projects, the types of beats that bring out the best in him and more! See what this young gifted artist has to say in this in depth one on one interview below.
The Beat Yard: What's up Shys Debiocci?
Shys Debiocci: Hard work and my eye lids. lol. Real talk.
The Beat Yard: You have two hot singles out right now.... "Twerk" and "My City" how would you describe the beats on those two singles?
Shys Debiocci: The beat on "My City" is like a guddah street banger. Like when you hear it, it makes you wanna get live (turn up). Make you wanna shake yo dreads, yo head, whatever street hyper. Twerk is what it is a "Booty Shaking", sweat it out beat. It's no way you can hear that beat and not wanna dance. I swear you got fellas feeling it. I know some dudes that came up with a dance with some females, and it's a player dance I didn't even know it could be converted, but you gotta see it. They are not dancing nowhere close to a female, it's just how fellas kill the beat.
The Beat Yard: What type of beats bring out the best in you as an artist?
Shys Debiocci: I mean of course I can get off on any beat, but I like those beats like Meek Mills, Lil' Wayne, Rick Ross, Dipset. They got Jada and DMX type beats, ether type beats. Them hard joints! I murda them beats real talk.
The Beat Yard: Who are some of the producers you've worked with so far?
Shys Debiocci: As of now just one producer and that's Baby Breeze Productions. He's a guerrilla with the beats.... true story!
The Beat Yard: Who are some producers you would like to work with in the future?
Shys Debiocci: Some producers I would like to work with, Dr. Dre, Mannie Fresh, The Runnas, Cool and Dre, Swizz Beats, Kanye and many more.
(Cool & Dre)
The Beat Yard: What are 4 of your favorite beats / instrumentals?
Shys Debiocci: 4 of my favorite instrumentals are Nas "Ether", that's a MONSTA beat. Umm Jay-Z "Dynasty" intro beat. Jay-Z's "Renegade" beat is retarded, and Lil' Wayne intro freestyle on The Carter 2 is sick!
The Beat Yard: How can beatmakers/ producers go about getting in touch with you for submitting beats?
Shys Debiocci: To submit beats you can e-mail me Shysmoney@gmail.com
and of course you can hit me on my facebook SHYS DEBIOCCI and Instagram SHYS DEBIOCCI.
The Beat Yard: Do you buy beats from up and coming producers?
Shys Debiocci: I would support up and coming producers, but what they have to realize is I had to pass out songs and sell CDs for $3-$5 to get known. You can't come out with outrageous prices and you don't have the rank yet, you gotta build. Sometimes you gotta build friendships. Give 1 or 2 beats and gain forever loyal-ness. It'll come back to you sometimes you gotta get your name out there 1st. Giving me a beat, you become known because of my fan base and deals I got lined up, and shout out my people every interview.
The Beat Yard: Do you have a process for selecting beats?
Shys Debiocci: Do I have a process for selecting beats? I mean, not really. I sometimes get one made to an idea I already gave in mind, or just listening to the beats and seeing what catches my ears. I write stuff in my head, just listening to a beat, and it depends in my mood if I feel beastly, I get a gudda go hard beat. If I'm laid back that's what I look for.
The Beat Yard: Is there anything else you would like to plug or mention in this interview?
Shys Debiocci: Look out for the movie I co star and direct "The Cougar Story". I'm still touring, but if you wanna book me hit my e-mail or inbox. My book is close to being published "2 Ways 2 Hustle", and I gave marketing and distribution deal that will put my music everywhere so be on the look out for that. Thanks to my supporters and fans. Let's go! I #GoLive
