SINCE 2011. NO ONE KNEW IT WAS IN MOTION...

THE RADIO INTERVIEWS

It's 2011. Mic Militant has an interview scheduled (Bronx). LaiLoMuzik is in Chicago and happens to have an interview the same day, on the same platform. The host of the show promotes independent artists building bonds together to progress the underground movement. He makes sure contact information is exchanged. MIDWEST2BX begins...

Since the radio interview in 2011, the two underground artists stayed connected and built strong bonds by simply “keeping their word” and being consistent with communication. 

Focused business conversations of how/when to bring their community efforts and muzik to elevated levels and make greater impact were regular whenever they spoke. 

These discussions were regular and had to be strategically planned due to extremely tight schedules. Eventually, ideas and track concepts were being pieced together (long distance) while both continued to handle local studio obligations.

Neither artist had their own studio equipment, or an “in-house” audio engineer to initiate the long-distance project so attempting to collab from two different cities created difficulties. It became evident that they needed to plan and implement the project another way.  

Both artists considering themselves as being “Head strong. Hands on. Head on.” writers/lyricists decided it was time to make some serious sacrifices, meet in person, and get these projects handled. 

In 2015, Lai'Lo arrived at LaGuardia Airport from Chicago O'Hare Airport. She had finally made it to The Birthplace of Hip Hop. That same day, studio time was being planned. It was time to get to work.

March 30, 2016 Interview Location: Hollygrove (New Orleans, LA)

It had been almost a year of independent touring. Mic Militant reached out to different NY contacts to promote the For The Industry Level I Nonprofit Mixtape. During this time, LaiLoMuzik and the team were in New Orleans, Louisiana marketing (on foot and in-person) everyday. It definitely wasn’t a time of peace or ease, but Lai’Lo keeps her composure and gets the interview done. Travel image gallery available in Patreon. Images uploaded frequently.
