Music: Acemeezy Photoshoot / Interview For Urban Culture Magazine

In case you missed this exclusive interview with Urban Culture. here's the load down on it. We must admit though that these boys don't sleep, word on the street is Acemeezy (Acematic + Meezy) are working on an EP together. Not to mention that Acematic Released "Stolen Beats Vol.2" in June, and Meezy Released "Stuck In The Booth" in September. This will definitely bring waves into the city, PE you best prepare for a tsunami!!! 


1.  What kind of music are you interested in? and what kind of music do you write?

Acematic: I’m in interested in all types of music, which includes RnB, Soul, Afropop and even House Music… and of course Hip-hop. I write hip-hop music, mostly mainstream hip-hop.



2. How long have you been writing and recording?

Meezy: Damn, it’s been a minute. I started writing in grade 7. I actually started rapping from stealing Slim Shady’s (Eminem’s) rhymes back in grade 6, and since I had a reputation of rapping I knew it’s a matter of time I start coming up with my own rhymes and that’s how it started. I recorded my first track for my Grade 7 farewell… good memories *smiles*


3. Have you been signed yet?

Acematic: NOOOOO!!!

Meezy: [laughs] nope, we not signed yet. Got hopes of being signed in the near future though


4. What element of your career stresses you the most?

Acematic: Blowing up. Being exploited by promoters who don’t want to pay, they need to bump the cheese up!


Meezy: The moves you got to make before being noticed. Getting everyone’s attention is a mission so I think that’s the most stressful part in this career choice


5. Are you a boy-band or two solo artists?

Acematic: Nope, we’re a girl band ‘bands make her dance’ [laughs]. Kidding, we’re two solo artists working together, something like Kanye & Jay-Z.



5.1. How long have you two been collaborating?

Meezy: It’s almost been 2years now



6. Do you see a career in music?

Meezy: Yeah I do, this industry is for the musicians who make good music and the ones who’ve got the image, it’s best if you’ve got both. Connections are also a good key into getting into the industry.

7. How much support are you getting from your fans, more especially from your family?

Acematic: We get a lot of support from our fans and our fan base is growing rapidly. As for our folks though, they don’t see this as a career much but they do want to see us succeed.

8. What is urban culture to you?

Meezy: I think urban culture is a reflection of music, fashion and trends amongst the young people in the city.


9. Which good underground/rap artist do you listen to and find inspiration from?

Acematic: Tumi, Nas, J.Cole. Kendrick Lamar, Proverb and many more

Meezy: Kanye West, AKA, Drake, Jay-Z, Wale and many more

10. What’s you’re take on pursuing your dream and education?

Acematic: Well for me, the only reason I’m doing Civil Engineering is so that I can have something to fall back on and to make my mom happy. Otherwise I’ve got love for this music thing; I want to do it till I die. I’ve got a passion for this music

Meezy: Life gives us many decisions to face and many choices are at stake. It’s good to have a Plan B in case things don’t work out. So stay educated but also keep your eyes on the prize.


11. What is Hip-Hop?

Acematic: Hip-Hop is what you make it, it has no specific definition. But in general it’s a lifestyle, characterized by music, fashion, and art. It’s basically about expression.

Meezy: It’s a culture, its bigger than just a music genre. It’s a platform of expression.


12. What advice would you give to someone aspiring to be a musician?

Meezy: Quit!! We got this rap thing on lock, you just messing it up [laughs] I’m kidding, just put quality in your work and be yourself.

Acematic: Do what you love and love what you do but don’t do it for the wrong reasons
