Lexicon - The Interview
Wednesday, October 25, 2006
Tell me about the group.
Lexicon: We put out two indie albums in the last 5 years. Over the past 2 years, we locked ourselves in the studio and recorded over 60 songs. We narrowed it down to 5 songs for the EP. Some of these may be on the full length novel that comes out next year.
Oak: Me & Nick, we're the heart of the group. We're actually brothers. We have C Minus our DJ and we have a guitartist and bassist. Those guys are there for our live shows.
Are you going on tour?
Lexicon: Next year, when we release our full length CD. We've been on a couple of small tours. We've played all over the US and Canada. Hopefully, we'll be touring from everywhere next year.
What made you decide to do the EP?
Lexicon: We kind of vanished to our fans, so we felt like we needed to put something out for our fans.
We hope that the EP will bring in a widespread fan base.
What kind of advice would you give others wanting a music career?
Lexicon: Believe in yourself; appreciate everything that happens along the way and work as hard as you can.
Your sound is unique. I like commercial rap, but I also like listening to artists that go outside of the box, but still sound good.
Lexicon: We're doing what we want to do and giving our interpretation of what hip-hop is. We enjoy commercial songs but not the copycats.
Anything else you would like to say to your fans?
Lexicon: Many thanks to you and to all the support. Every little thing that's said or done is appreciated. If it weren't for those of you supporting us, we wouldn't have any business doing it.
