Jarrett- What's your expectations for "New Slang"?
Boognights- I think it will do really well when it drops. A lot of dope up and coming artists are on it and I'm grateful to be featured as well. So it will definitely do well. There are a lot of big supporters on the net.
Jarrett- The New Year is fast approaching, what's your resolution?
Boognights- A resolution? I would say to keep growning as a man and a artist. Get my music out there for more ears to hear.
Jarrett- What inspires your creativity? How do you keep the music fresh and never redundant?
Boognights- I really don't know. I let the beat talk to me and tell me what to do and I just write. It's funny but it's true. I just write from the heart. I think that's where the best music comes from. I'm just true to myself.
Jarrett- What got you into rapping?
Boognights- A old friend of mine named Ambush really showed me the essense of rhyming. That's how I feel in love with it. He was a dope artist. It just stuck with me since.
Jarrett- Who are some of the people who inspired you and made you what you are today?
Boognights- There are so many people. As far as in my life it would be my mom, father, sister, brother, and Ambush. Nas, Biggie, Pac, Jay-Z, the whole Wu-Tang. Just to name a few.
Jarrett- How did you get the name "Boognights"?
Boognights- It's funny how I came up with that name. You remember the movie "Boogie Nights"? Well when I was younger in one of my verses I mentioned the character Dirk Diggler. Ever since then I kept making references about the movie. Then I would say boogie all the time. I started calling my self boogie nights and then I finally shortened it and kept it as BOOGNIGHTS. It throws people off now. I think they don't know what to expect from my music lol. But that's cool though.
Jarrett- What excludes you from other rappers and makes you unique?
Boognights- Well first I would say my name lol. I wouldn't really say that I'm different. I just think that I actually found myself as a person and a artist and I'm comfortable with me. That allows me to be myself in my art. A lot of people can't say that now a days.
Jarrett- If you could work with any rapper who would it be and why?
Boognights- I would love to work with Nas. Of course there are many, many other artists on there but he's the first that popped in my head. He's my favorite emcee and growing up I always loved his flow and tried to mimic him lol. I just love his music and I think he would be great to work with.
Jarrett- Whats your favorite track from your upcoming mixtape "New Slang"?
Boognights- I actually haven't heard the other songs yet from the mixtape.
Jarrett- Any shout outs?
Boognights- My whole family and friends. Jumpman crew. A.M.E. And anybody who believes in me and my music.
Jarrett- Anything else you wanna say?
