After the announcement 10 minutes earlier of Striker being interviewed soon and several songs being played in the mean time, the wait was over and it was time for the live interview!
Loni S.: Alright Chicago, we are happy to say that we have Striker on the line! He's an rising rapstar that is supporting
Giselle on her tour which starts tomorrow in New York! He's in New York right now.
*The radio crew claps, you could hear it in the background*
Striker: Thanks for having me on here!
Loni S.: No problem! So, how long have you been making music for?
Striker: Well, I've been producing songs for underground artists for a few years, but I started writing my own material back in 09'.
Loni S.: What persuaded you to start making music?
Striker: Well, my interest in music started when I was in high school. At the time I had joined a music program playing the piano, and from there I just thought it would be a great idea to make music.
Loni S.: Nice, so people have been tweeting me asking me to ask you if there's an album on the way. Is there an album on the way?
Striker: I can verify that an album is on the way, but before I release a whole new album, I'm planning to release a 7-track E.P. soon!
*You can here the stage crew in the background from Striker's phone*
Loni S.: Let me ask you something. Where the heck are you that I'm hearing all that noise *she giggles*
Striker: Hah, I'd been wondering when you were gonna ask. But yeah, that's the stage crew, I'm here in New York rehearsing for tomorrow and the rest of the tour dates for
Giselle's tour.
Loni S.: Oh that's nice, is this your first time going on tour?
Striker: It's my first major tour I'm going on, but I have toured at small venues before. This is just the first major one.
Loni S.: So back to the album topic now. Is there a title for it yet?
Striker: I've had a few titles in my head. One of the titles I been thinking about was 'Long Awaited King', but I feel that it doesn't fit in for the album.
Loni S.: Talking about fitting in, what is the theme of the album?
Striker: Ugh, these are things I can't really reveal to much *he laughs*. I do hope the album can launch the renaissance of hip-hop! In fact, that should be the name of the album *he laughs*
*Loni laughs hysterically!*
Loni S.: Your killing me guy! Killing me *she laughs*. So what do you mean when you say that though?
Striker: Say what? The renaissance of hip-hop?
Loni S.: Yeah.
Striker: What I mean is that Hip-Hop now ah days should really be considered 'hip-pop'. There are so many fake hip-hop artists out right now that releases garbage. I fail to understand how they get signed! I want that to change though *he sighs*.
Loni S.: I want to make an agreeable comment on that, but I can't really say it. But I agree with you on that though!
Striker: Yea.
Loni S.: So you have a HOT new single out right now called
Lost In Transtion, tell me about it! I absolutely love that song!
Striker: Hey, I see your changing the subject *he laughs*. But yeah, the song is a song to my ex. My last girl and I had a hot n cold relationship. I just wanted to make a song about it.
Loni S.: Well I love that song. I have it on my i-pod and we'll be playing that song after we wrap this up. So before we end this there is one thing I want you to say.
Striker: Yup, tell me.
*Loni makes an (Ah-Em) cough*
Loni S.: Say WGCI-FM plays the hottest new joints!
Striker: WGCI-FM definitely plays the hottest new joints!
Loni S.: Woooo! Everybody take a listen to Striker's new single Lost In Transition!
Of two different worlds, I'm lost in the transition
Im out of my head, need a new position
Of two different worlds, I'm lost in the transition
Im out of my head, need a new position
Of two different worlds, I'm lost in the transition
Im out of my head, need a new position
[Chorus x2]
Caught up in two worlds, pressure on my mind
I'm lost in transition, brightness and the night
Brightness and the night
It's like brightness versus the night
[verse 1]
Your my demon, your my angel
Your my darkness, your my light
The pleasure versus the anger
Your my left, your my right
You've got horns, you've got a halo
Shine bright onto the city
Your goodbye, you are heyllo
A beautiful treasure, yet a pitty
Trying hard to find my way out
Yelling for help, screams and shouts
On two different trains, one north one south
Trying to get help, and get out, refuse to cover my mouth
[Chorus]
Of two different worlds, I'm lost in the transition
Im out of my head, need a new position
Caught up in two worlds, pressure on my mind
I'm lost in transition, brightness and the night
Brightness and the night
It's like brightness versus the night
Screams of pain
Screams of pain
Screams of pain
Loving you is insane
[Chorus x2]
Caught up in two worlds, pressure on my mind
I'm lost in transition, brightness and the night
Brightness and the night
It's like brightness versus the night
Screams of pain
Screams of pain
Screams of pain
Loving you is insane
