 interview
by Geri C.
Mully Man is the heart of Baltimore. He spits some of the illest
verses I've ever heard. I recently had a chance to link up with
Mr. MullyMania himself and here's what went down.
CRED: Let me just say thank you for taking the time to speak
with CRED.
Mully: No problem thanks for having me.
CRED: First off I have to say that Mully Man is an interesting
name.
Mully: Is that a good thing hahaha?
CRED: Of course that’s a good thing. How did you come up with it
and does your name have any meaning behind it?
Mully: M.U.L.L.Y stands for Master of Unorthodox Lyrics Leading
You. Mullyman is Kevin Muldrow's super Hero emcee alter ego. It
stems from my last name Muldrow.
CRED: Wow that is something different. How important was it for
you to find a name with meaning?
Mully: Very important to have a name with meaning, because your
name brands who you are as an artist, it reflects what people
should expect from you. My style is unorthodox, yet very
insightful, and that's how I came up with the acronym master of
unorthodox lyrics leading you (M.U.L.L.Y).
CRED: Let the people know what genre of music do you consider
your work to be?
Mully: Hip Hop music.
CRED: I have to say that hip hop music is all over the place
right now. From the “snap your figures” to the “drop and give me
50”. So tell me how your music stands out?
Mully: In these times of the Ricky bobby dance and the stanky
leg lmao, I understand why those songs are successful, my
nephews and nieces love those records (the kids). People love to
dance their pain away, but life is more than song and dance.
Artists like me bring balance to an industry of song and dance.
I have club bangers “she hurtin em”, “imma be More”, but I touch
on serious topics as well, as well a focus on true lyricism (the
art of emceeing), there’s a time to dance and a time to think
and reflect on life. Balance is the key. I bring balance.
CRED: Tell me some of your major influences?
Mully: Jay Z, Biggie, Nas, Pac, Krs 1, Big Daddy Kane, Rakim,
Slick Rick.
CRED: I know in making a record you tap into all types of
resources but name one thing that inspires you to make music?
Mully: Life inspired me to make music. As a kid in West
Baltimore I felt like I wanted to express my experiences.
CRED: I’ve seen a lot of your performances on YouTube but for
those who haven’t please school them on where you have
performed?
Mully: I've opened for Ludacris, T Pain, Cassidy, and Baby Sham
at UMES. I've also performed with Freeway, Memphis Bleek, Flip
and more. I love performing wherever people are willing to
listen.
CRED: Think about the first track you ever did. How do you think
you music has evolved since then?
Mully: I’ve matured a lot since I started. I started out rapping
and I’ve grown into a complete artist. I make songs the whole
world can relate too.
CRED: In writing you own rhymes where do most of you topics come
from and do you think these topics will change over time?
Mully: My topics come from personal experiences. I speak on God,
da streetz, da ladies, da club, and all other aspects of my
life. With no change, there is no growth (shout out to Obama).
CRED: Could you briefly describe your music-making process?
Mully: Music process varies. Sometimes the track is made by
producer first. Then I write what I interpret to the track then
record it. Sometimes the idea or the rhyme and hook is ready and
the producer makes the music to support the song.
CRED: Fame or fortune?
Mully: Music started as a passion, but I’m ready to share my
gift with the world. Money is always a good thing. I'm seeking
fame and fortune for what I’m passionate about and love, hip hop
music.
CRED: I know Baltimore is holding you down but for your new fans
were can they gain access to your music?
Mully: You can check me out on www.myspace.com/mullyman or
www.youtube.com/majorleagueunlimited
CRED: Is there anyone you'd like to acknowledge for offering
support?
Mully: I'd like to give thanx to god, my whole Major League fam,
and everyone who ever supported in any way. Geri, I truly
appreciate the love you've shown a brova.
CRED: Any last words?
Mully: I feel proud to be a leader of the Bmore hip hop
movement. Look out for great things from Major League unlimited.
