Every time I get one of these promo requests I get weary. Some might call me crazy in my willingness to travel anywhere the MTA will take me for an interview with... Anyone. Everyone deserves to be heard. & you never know who someone might be in 5-10 years. On my way to this one, I just so happen to see a guy with an "I f*cking hate rappers," sticker on his iPad. I suppose in a world full of haters, the game needs one ally. Ella to the rescue, huh?
I met Devyne at Red Eye Group's Open Mic Monday. It's truly a fab event littered with ambitious individuals. You're guaranteed to leave that event inspired and connected --both to yourself and others. It's a sharing of information. Over candlelight, Bailey's and raging Hip-Hop (<3 <3 <3), I struggled to hear most of what Devyne said to me. I mean it was heaven to me & I had to keep reminding myself I was there on business. I remember something about him producing and his ability to "make people sound good" as he nonchalantly described it to me. We talked a bit more about music. I can't remember the specifics but I remember noting his honesty. He was genuine. Whereas others' approach that night was hasty or... Thirsty... Devyne was professional. He gave me his card and subsequently followed me on Twitter. Or I could be mistaken and mixed up people the way things happen when I chase Bailey's with moscato.. but hey *shrugs* From there... We get here.
