"That's RDX. I djed for them"<br />

There is so much that can be<br />

said about my entertainment<br />

group, “Xtreme Soundz.” When I<br />

created this group my sophomore<br />

year in highschool, I knew<br />

there was gonna be a much<br />

larger purpose for us. I hand<br />

picked all the members in the<br />

group in 2011 because we<br />

each hold an individual asset<br />

that makes us outshine together<br />

as a group. For those that know<br />

how we started and the trials we<br />

went through to get here today<br />

, they can definitely vouche on<br />

the behalf of the hard work and<br />

persistence of my group. Making<br />

Xtreme till this day is one of the<br />

Xtreme Soundz Ent Interview With<br />

CEO DJ Haitian J<br />

06 07<br />

best decisions I’ve ever made in<br />

my life. When people look at us<br />

they see just two DJs (Disc Jockeys)<br />

and often underestimated<br />

our Champion group. Before my<br />

partner DJ Tim and I even started<br />

DJing, we started off as a<br />

Band and are still one today.<br />

We all attended Boston Arts<br />

Academy during high school<br />

where we discovered each other<br />

and the passion we have for<br />

our craft. Our band consists of<br />

a amazingly gifted keyboard<br />

player named RJ, a hit-making<br />

artist/vocalist named Siah, a well<br />

crafted rapper named Phenom<br />

V, a killing bass player named<br />

Javon Clark, and three drummers,<br />

DBlaze, DJ Tim & myself. We also<br />

have two other members that<br />

put in a lot of work in our family,<br />

Yabasha & Delta. Together we<br />

form a pristine champion group<br />

that doesn’t tolerate mediocre<br />

work & effort. We are very musically<br />

driven and we express ourselves<br />

everytime we play.<br />

The path that led us to become<br />

Disc Jockeys was something no<br />

one in our group saw coming.<br />

At the end of 2014, rapidly approaching<br />

2015, Xtreme Soundz<br />

art of music is built in to you. We<br />

make sure we stick to our musical<br />

fundamentals. I can remember<br />

countless times where we’ll be<br />

practicing as a group and even<br />

if one of us made the slightest<br />

error, we made that person redo<br />

it and didn’t advance to the<br />

next phase until he completed<br />

the transition perfectly according<br />

to our fundamentals.<br />

This wasn’t to knock anyone in<br />

our family but to strengthen it<br />

and become the group we are<br />

now. We bring a unique side<br />

to music industry in this present<br />

world and everyday I notice<br />

the respect for our group<br />

grows more and more. I do a lot<br />

to keep my group together and<br />

picked up the art of blending<br />

music and fell in love with it quick<br />

too. I often express DJ by telling<br />

your own story how ever you<br />

want it to be heard. That’s all it<br />

is. Displaying the sweet love and<br />

connection there is between<br />

your brain, creativity, hands<br />

& turntables. Truly a beautiful<br />

thing. The key thing that makes<br />

us very unique is that we live<br />

with fundamentals. The musical<br />

fundamental training we all got<br />

in highschool with keys and timing,<br />

especially as a drummer, the<br />

working because I know we all<br />

have something amazing in us<br />

and it wasn’t by chance that I<br />

put us all in the same group for<br />

ongoing 7 years. Although DJing<br />

is our newest talent and only<br />

been going strong for 2 years,<br />

we make sure we aren’t judged<br />

on the years of experience but<br />

on the true talent of turntablism<br />

and blending. From my partner<br />

DJ Tim & I performing at parties<br />

with individuals ipads in our<br />

hands to full blown setups now<br />

with multiple speakers, we will<br />

always be that same persistent<br />

champion group that God has<br />

a plan for. We want to thank all<br />

of our supporters that has been<br />

with us from day one and I promise<br />

you won’t be let down.

"keep ya<br />

head high,<br />

hold ya<br />

head"


10 11<br />

Mark Edmond was born in Stoughton,<br />

MA, but raised in Sunrise, FL. Introduced<br />

to music at an early age,<br />

he wrote his first rap around the age<br />

of 8, or 9, which at the time was just a<br />

hobby. Initially, his dream was to play<br />

in the NBA. At 10, he was in a group<br />

with his two older brothers, cousin,<br />

and one of his cousin’s friends called<br />

“Tha Finest”, where they would record<br />

their music on a cassette tape player.<br />

That only lasted through the summer,<br />

but Mark kept writing on his own.<br />

He started taking things more seriously<br />

around the time when he got<br />

into high school, after losing his love<br />

for playing basketball. At that point<br />

is when he turned to music fully, started<br />

perfecting his craft, and saw it as<br />

a potential career for himself. Since<br />

then, he’s released a series of singles<br />

MARK EDMOND<br />

throughout the years. Still, looking for<br />

his big-break.<br />

Q: Who are some of your musical inspirations/<br />

or influences?<br />

A: I have so many, I could go on<br />

and on for hours naming names, but<br />

to name a few, I would have to say<br />

2Pac, Michael Jackson, and Jon Bon<br />

Jovi are on the top of that list. Those<br />

are like my heroes. Then, you have Ludacris,<br />

that was the first rapper that<br />

I could say was my favorite growing<br />

up. I love 90s, early 2000s Hip-Hop,<br />

R&B/Soul, so I found, and still find a<br />

lot of inspiration from a bunch of artist<br />

from those eras. As for today’s era,<br />

J. Cole is inspirational. All in all, I listen<br />

to all types of music, so my inspirations<br />

and influences come from all<br />

over the place. I’ve been into music<br />

for as long as I can remember. That’s<br />

my ruling passion, for sure.<br />

Q: What was the first album you ever<br />

owned?<br />

A: “WWF The Music, Vol. 3”. I remember<br />

getting it for Christmas in 1998 I<br />

believe. We were huge wrestling fans<br />

back in the days. We had the the<br />

heavyweight championship belt and<br />

all.<br />

Q: What are your thoughts on today’s<br />

music?<br />

A: I’m a fan of some, not a fan of others.<br />

I think there’s a time and place<br />

for everything, but there needs to<br />

be more of a balance on the mainstream<br />

level. It’s hardly about talent<br />

anymore, more so about image and<br />

popularity, so everybody thinks they<br />

have what it takes. Most of them start<br />

by following whatever is trending at<br />

the moment, now you have all these<br />

people trying to make some-what of<br />

the same song over and over again<br />

to “turn up” to, but what about real<br />

life? Not saying we don’t need those<br />

kind of songs too, because that’s<br />

what I’d prefer to hear when I’m in<br />

those environments, but the club or<br />

whatever function is only a few hours<br />

out the day. That’s why a lot times<br />

people make reference to “back in<br />

the days”, because most of the artist<br />

who were in the forefront had real<br />

talent, took their craft serious, and<br />

were making music with actual substance<br />

that you coulVd actually feel,<br />

which is why much of it is still relevant<br />

today. Music is what helps a lot of<br />

us get through whatever we’re going<br />

through in our lives, but often times<br />

now, a lot of that shit slips through<br />

the cracks. Good thing we’re in a<br />

time where you can listen to whatever<br />

you want, whenever you want,<br />

but you have to really look for it, because<br />

the market’s also over-saturated.<br />

I try to give everybody a chance<br />

once I get around to it, but I’m only<br />

going to continue to listen to what I<br />

like, so in my world, all’s well.<br />

Q: There’s thousands of rappers being<br />

born everyday, what would you<br />

say sets you apart from the rest?<br />

A: The fact that I’m being my true<br />

self! Me being me makes me unique.<br />

I’m not trying to be the next, or new<br />

nobody, except for the first Mark Edmond.<br />

Q: Where do you see yourself in 5-10<br />

years?<br />

A: By then, I would hope to have<br />

found my niche. Prospering. A successful<br />

business owner. Doing what I<br />

love for a living. Traveling the world<br />

off the strength of my music. Making a<br />

positive impact on the lives of others.<br />

Overall, I just want to be truly happy.<br />

God willing. Oh yeah, mentioned with<br />

the greats. I want to at least be in<br />

the conversation!

RIINGZ<br />

M y name is Ronin Ingwersen<br />

better known as Riingz from<br />

Boston Mass. I originally<br />

grew up in Woodstock, New<br />

York but have a variety of<br />

family in Brazil. I'm a music<br />

producer and DJ performing<br />

along the East Coast from<br />

New York to Florida but<br />

mainly based in the Bay State<br />

Area. When I first started<br />

growing up I was into a variety<br />

of music going from EDM to<br />

Classical then to Rap but as<br />

time carried on to 7th grade,<br />

everything started going<br />

downhill with daily life like<br />

friends, fighting with family<br />

on a daily basis, and failing<br />

many classes which kept<br />

me really unmotivated to<br />

keep music going but then one<br />

day a friend of mine came to<br />

me asking if I would be down<br />

to DJ at an event of his for<br />

a promotional show so I decided<br />

to take the offer and<br />

before I knew it I was out on<br />

a grind with many email coming<br />

in about needing a DJ for<br />

parties, social events and<br />

even the occasional opening<br />

for many mainstream<br />

rappers which completely<br />

turned everything around<br />

and the music scene was on a<br />

roll. When people came to me<br />

asking what I did for a living<br />

my first answer was DJ and<br />

that's it until a good friend<br />

of mine that I met in High<br />

School known as KIDQ asked<br />

me if I was into making rap<br />

instrumentals and tracks<br />

but partially brushed it off<br />

for days on end until I made<br />

this one track #LavishLife<br />

which came out as my first<br />

mainstream instrumental<br />

that pretty much brought<br />

me into the life of being full<br />

time DJ and Music Producer.<br />

Since that day connections<br />

have been created and<br />

many shows have continued<br />

to build up which from what<br />

I can tell you, brought me<br />

right out of the mud and into<br />

a daily life that is full of<br />

creativity and excitement.<br />

When I got older, I took my<br />

first trip to visit my mom<br />

that had lived in Dubai, UAE<br />

where I had my first show


14 15<br />

I am doing shows from Cambridge<br />

my physical and mental ability<br />

to Manhattan with a couple of<br />

as a whole greatly but in the end<br />

upcoming shows down the coast<br />

has made me a better person than<br />

around March which will soon<br />

I could have imagined. I would really<br />

like to give a shoutout to ev-<br />

hopefully transform to all the<br />

states and get abroad as much as<br />

eryone that has helped me through<br />

possible. I am now part of a production<br />

company that goes by 781<br />

am today but the person that I<br />

thick and thin to get me where I<br />

Productions which was created by<br />

should really be recognizing is my<br />

my first artist KIDQ and photographer<br />

Georgie in which has been<br />

put in to give me the education and<br />

mom for all the hard work she's<br />

known on many social media websites.<br />

Starting out this job was<br />

place that I'm at now and I real-<br />

funding that I needed to get to the<br />

not easy, building and breaking<br />

ly appreciate all that she's done<br />

bridges have started and stopped<br />

because without her I wouldn't<br />

many different controversies in<br />

be here at this very moment. And<br />

my experience. the music industry<br />

trust me I will maintain my place<br />

has impacted<br />

to represent the city of Boston,<br />

"this is Riingz and I 'm off"

mizzie cash<br />

I'm from Boston. I started doing music around 7-8 years<br />

old . I always had a passion for the culture. before I even<br />

knew what rappers were even saying, I loved the culture<br />

FOR WHAT it WAS. Growing up I liked 50 cent & dipset, then<br />

I got older and did my research on Tupac , Max b , & Gucci<br />

mane WHO soon became my favorite rapper. I always knew<br />

I wanted to do music no matter what phase I went through<br />

in life.<br />

Everywhere I went people told me I'm ahead of my time, So<br />

that always gave me the idea that i could be somebody .<br />

Around September 2015 I Formed a group called self made<br />

& we had a studio. at my sisters house and everyday we<br />

smoked weed and went to work in the studio even though<br />

it was low quality, we made good music. I ended up making<br />

a good song a lot of people liked called Guccivelli i n<br />

the same room . It has over 37,000 views on SoundCloud<br />

now. That really gave me a lil local push . It made me feel<br />

like aight I got a lil wave going . I Just Kept Going And Doing<br />

What I Really Like Doing & Making Music .Now I have my<br />

mixtape Called C.A.S.H coming next Probably Around February<br />

- March. Next Mixtape Is Mizziechusetts Ep Then<br />
