D.strange interview

http://www.smileforcamera.com/2009/09/d-strange-interview/

D.strange is an artist thats for the arts, he hails from Va but currently resides in Orlando Florida, quite, calm and collected, he’s here for the good tunes, and making the good times. He speaks about the real and the true, and if you open up and listen, you might just relate.

I ran into long time friend D. Strange the other day at the Venue here in Orlando Club 57 W . He managed to break free from his busy schedule to share with us his passion for the arts.

Interview

BryzerGold – So Mr. D, were are you from?
D. Strange – Originally from Stafford VA, but Ive been up and down the east coast. Born and raised in Virginia!

BryzerGold – What made you want to get in the Hip-Hop scene?
D. Strange – For a while i was a huge punk and hardcore kid and i hated hip hop, then i moved to Macon GA and met some kids that were into MF Doom and NWA. They pretty much turned me on to hip hop with MF Doom and from there i just kinda ventured out. No one in that area liked punk rock so it was hard to start up a band. I downloaded Fruityloops and started kinda making beats, then stopped and moved back to Va to graduate form high school. Then I decided to get back into it cause no one wanted to start a band. Being a producer and rapper, its fun because you can do anything you want when you want and you dont have to wait on someone or teach them a part of a song. its just independent as fuck!

BryzerGold – So true, you kinda answered this already when you mention MF Doom and NWA, but who would you consider a strong member in your line of work?
D. Strange – MF DOOM, Aesop, Atmosphere, Nas, Gang starr those are like my huge inspirations. Those are like the dudes that made me really be like damn i could rap. They all flip shit there way, they dont follow the norm they set the standard, so I’m just trying to catch up to those guys.

BryzerGold – What do you want people to feel when they hear your talent for the first time?
D. Strange – I’m just trying to reach out to the punk kids, hardcore kids and black kids that went through the same shit I went threw as far as being outcasted by everyone hated by everyone im trying to reach out to the nerds and be like its cool where your at man, its gonna be ok and also just tell stories about experiences in my life just really trying not to be preachy. To many rappers preach and dont try and relate!

BryzerGold – I know you perform locally at Austins Coffee, care to tell us how that all started?
D. Strange – Austins Coffee shop got handed to me and a group called “Not Them” . We got “Dizzle” my homie the dj, to start spinning records while we just free-styled. We did that shit from the ground up, like no promotion or anything we just kept free-styling and the more we did it the better we got, and the more people started coming back. They would tell there friends it was crazy cause it went from like 8 people to like 40 to 50 every Monday night, but like all things that get big, it started to get corrupted and all these other mcs around the city started coming around and tying to take over our spot. Really like all the other open mics hated us so we decided to start our own and make our own scene the scene around here is like that man, its cliquey like hell. Im done with that now, me and “Dizzle” quit as hosts for Austins Coffee and are hosting a new open mic downtown at club 57 w.

BryzerGold – The new place downtown? I see, so really, your moving way up in venue size, and in the heart of downtown, you have to be happy with that move! Any big collaborations or plans in the future?
D. Strange – Yeah man. Really it was all “Dizzle” that set that up and he just asked me if i could help host it with him. Its mad dope an honor really. Yeah I’m pretty stoked on the size and the sound of the place and the fact that its downtown. As far as collab go, im just working on my new stuff right now titled “Us Against the Living side A and B” ,its gonna be two eps. One being really aggressive and hardcore about political and social things I’ve endured the past year being in Florida, while the other side is more light hearted about girls, having fun and reflecting on the past. I’m making all the beats and using a lot of new elements like live guitar played by me and some other live elements. Its a huge step up from my old shit after that im just gonna put that out and push it as much as possible and keep working on more stuff. I like collaborating and all but i like doing projects more i feel like collabs are better once you have a huge fan base.

BryzerGold – What is your view on the Hip Hop scene here in Florida?
D. Strange – Oh man i thought u’d never ask haha! The scene here isn’t really a scene, cause there’s no unity, Its very cut throat. I’ve experienced so much back stabbing and lies its ridiculous! Theirs also so many different types of hip hop around here, its just to damn divided, people around here aren’t really susceptible to change or something new. So me, I had to fight my way in, I had to find the people that were real and that weren’t out to fuck me over man. If you can look past that, there are a number of great artist here like “Mad Illz” is insane live, but then there’s so many clowns around here that just try to hard and play with a back track which is fucking stupid man. The scene would be way better if people could unite and put on quality shows, and thats what me and my friends are trying to do. To many people wanna take over Orlando, but there’s nothing here to take over! This is a tourist attraction not New York! haha

BryzerGold – Do you think you and your crew could bring REAL hip-hop back to Florida?
D. Strange – I mean were trying! haha . Like honestly Me and “Dizzle”, “Mad sexual Genius”, “Mad Illz”, “SoS” and more are really bringing it, really stepping our game up and setting the bar. We want something more than just local fame as far as everyone else, they need to do the same or there gonna keep ruining the said “scene”.

BryzerGold – How long have you been spiting rhymes?
D. Strange – 2 years now, right about when i got outta high school and went to Full Fail and dropped out. I decided to start rapping and producing. haha weird right?

BryzerGold – Naaaaaa Fuck Full Sail!

BryzerGold – Any shout outs?
D. Strange – oh yeah for sure SHOUTS OUTS TO DIZZLE PHUNK, LOMBARDO THE ART WIZ, MAD SEXUAL GENIUS, BRYZER GOLD, MIKE SAPP, MY LOVELY GIRLFRIEND, LASER CAT RECORDS AND KINGS OFFSPRING

SINKING SHIPS!

http://www.mediafire.com/?jzyiymhhmtt

New beat I made for all of you to enjoy.

and

theres a growing hatred inside of me.

having the internet again.

i live a pretty archaic life now, almost like a gypsy, with technology.
i have no cable, i technically do not have power until tomorrow, this is all by choice.
theres nothing good on t.v anymore.
sometimes i think that about life.
i came up with a line today that goes.
time is like money, and i aint got none to waste.
i thought it was pretty cool.
i feel like i've been living in a fantasy world. actually thinking i have fans and that someone is eagerly waiting for my next move.
maybe a couple people are.
i don't know, i probably wouldn't like that if it was happening.
start struck is what they call it. my beer is extra cold, and I've never read no bukowski besides ham on rye. In my new house, i leave my bedroom door open all the time.
its very strange because i never do that but i think it means i trust who i'm living with for once.
i hope i'm approaching the end of this dark tunnel soon. i think i just need a reason to hold out for outside of my own needs.
for awhile i felt like a super hero, a vigilante trying to save something, now i feel like all i was tryign to save was nothing, i think everyones content with the way things and i'm just living in the past.

been awhile

so i'll keep this brief.
I've been doing ok, i am finally moved into my news house and every thing is stressful but great at the same time.
alot of drug use has taken my time... but i am still managing to create music.
my friends are great. i am thinking about becoming a gypsy.
new music is coming from me soon, but i'm only releasing things locally now. i dont have the internet until monday.
you've been haunting me lately, i dont know if you know, but i'm sure you feel what i've been feeling, maybe it means were both thinkgin about each other at the same time.
or my sanity is just slipping....

later man

women my age

Don't fall in love.
How am i tired of useless fucking already at 20?
sluts and condoms don't make a night fun.
I miss the comfort of intimacy, I miss finding the special girls blonde hairs tangled in mine, I miss laying next to someone afterwards and it not being awkward or fake.
I guess what i'm saying is i kind of miss a decent relationship.
(and as soon as i typed that a flurry of memories sprang up)
as always a stomach ache ensues, i never thought panic attacks, anxiety were real, until i started having them.
where is my mind...

o6/24/09ly

today was insane
the crew is back together.
i love music. more than alot of people due.
i study it, breathe it, live it. i love it.
the crew is back together.
currently listening to blue scholars bayani.
its amazing.
fuck you

Little kids in costume.

I'm having a good day.
thats two in a row.
I'm having a good day.
hopefully more will follow.
I'm having a good day.
filled with growth and less hollow.
I'm having a good day.
no need to blog or wallow.

great day

today was great. woke up feeling sloggish from last night.
but today turned into a great day.
bucky lasek came to my job today and was a total douche bag to everyone. that was awesome, im glad he has that attitude, it shows that he's just him self, he wasnt acting like he was tony hawk or some well paid skater, just an asshole vert kid.
i figured out today skateing with some friends that i'm definently in my second child hood.
i skated, shitty at that, but it was just fun having a good time at the park.
now im drinking beer and listneing to one of my favorite instrumentals.
good shit.

first joint of the day

i've got bad brains

yesterday wasn't that bad, possibly found the next house to live in which i like alot.
its a two story town house, something i've wanted for a long time. i hope we get it.
anyway
i have the first fugazi record, it is bright red and simply says fugazi in black on the top and has a dope pic of the lead singer on the front. it's prolly one of my favorite records right now.
its so beautiful, and its been spun like once. its so clean and perfect. where ever we move to im going to think out the best possible comfort zone in my room.
im not jsut gonna move a bunch of shit into my room and change it around fifty times.
i'm growing up and turning into my parents by the day.
I'm growing bitter, for some odd reason.
bitter and i'm getting filled to the brim with apathy, for my well being and body.
and florida hxc kids are fucking weird. this band called away with you was dope as fuck live. and no one was doing anything for them, not even moving. i couldnt help myself i had to. and then kdis got pissed off, there not used to the way that kids up north "mosh" haha.
way harder than any fuck in this town.

loyalty

been a couple days.
i've been lazy.
today i woke up
chopped up some samples and made two new beats. they could be better but theyll do for now.
i watched the hangover today. which wasn't a very good or funny movie. but maureen was there so it was cool. we ate five guys, and it was delicious.
theres this spot at the movie theaters i'm going to skate, its a huge perfect fucking gap, nothing is wrong with it.
i cant wait.

06/14/09

i stood behind a counter today fo 8 hours,
i watched the rest of dewey cox, and it was hilarious.
my job is good, but i feel like i'm in a place where i should fit in but i don't, everyday is still more awkward than it should be.
i may be homeless soon, hopefully not.
i have a new cd out, which is ok. but nothing i would call special, new or innovative.
late night skating is killing me. no room to grow.
no woman can touch me, like she did. no woman probably ever will.
i ate two bambinos, half a burrito, and a slice of pizza today.
my hands and feet feel strange.
i'm growing a hatred for alot of things again.
i'm starting to turn into a ball again.
i'm starting to hate alot of things again.
days feel very long and short, and very repititive
i'd like to know what i'm doing wrong.
i hate getting compliments but no further steps in my endeavors.
i want to call in to work.
i don't want to be there.
i don't want to be anywhere.
i just want to sleep.
i've been having nightmares that are to realistic. i am very afraid of what is around the bend.
i feel like there are only a couple of people i can trust these days,
every one has something going for them.
but i feel like i work the hardest with no results.
i have stopped working.
i havent created in days now.
i should be sleep
instead i am bitching.
i wish it would just hurry up and end.
no one undestands me. or it.

you comedians

the joke is over.
i've fallen into something weird, something kinda of strange.
i've fallen out of love with women, i'm afraid they've finally got through.
don't get me wrong, some of you are still gorgeous but i know how it all ends. even if your good to me my entire life, your still going to die, and pretty much hit me with everything bad you could've done to me.
i think i'm dieing, and not in the sense of some emotional bout.
i find comfort in drugs and cigarettes, not people, i feel like there puppets.
i dont really feel anything from people anymore, some people i do, but for the most part i feel ridiculous.
i just feel strange, i feel like everyday is wasted.
but then i actually start thinking, my job is great, i'm looked up to by little skater kids, i come home to good friends, i eat everyday, even though its not the full amount, but im still eating.
i'm an idiot i almost let emotions get the best of me.
emotions are the true evil in life. there the only thing that can actually get you down.
but i still like drugs, and girls are ok.

freestyles pt.1

dream land

my dream today was insane.
i went back to high school but it was not colonial forge, it was the high school i went to when i was in Georgia.
i looked exactly like i look now and all the black kids were laughing and teasing me as i went bye,
this time instead of mean mugging and being quiet, i was very much like myself today and i laughed it off and even joked and egged some of it on. i went to class and realized that i had failed every class i was in. which made me feel a little awkward.
i just didn't care, which isn't to much out of the ordinary. i just felt very weird because out of nowhere i was back in school. a couple kids that i remembered from that school were there to and we all dapped hands as we passed each other.
out of nowhere i'm out side on a field in recess, and i'm alone by a fence, pretty much like how gym used to be in highschool. all of a sudden i start running and these kids next to me are playing some game thats a mixture between football, and baseball and they kept calling it kick ball.
as i'm running i get pumpbled by atleast 7 footballs that send me hurtling to the ground. I'm in pain but i get up and the game continues to go on. out of nowhere i run into my old coach from middle school. mr.baker, says long time no see, and we begin to talk for a little bit, he ask meif i want to join his team, he says the way i run is excellent and alot better than most of the kids on his team already. i tell him i have to think about it but the entire time i know i''m not going to join a sports team, i shake his hand and tell him that i'm doing music now, and he nods his head. i run up a hill, much like the one in my old middle school and end up in middle school again.
except for i'm still my same age. nuuge jeremy and someone else are standing in a small circle near the corner of the school and all the busses take off, leaving us there. i start telling nuuge whats going on and he interupts me and says theres a hole in your teeth, why aren't your teeth moving. i look at jeremy who is sitting down with a smile on his face and i say nuuge teeth dont move only mouths do. then it got quiet. i turn to look at the bus ramp and a bus is puling up, i feel really sad because it doesn't seem like my friends anymore, kinda like when i got back from georgia in 12th grade. i feel really alone and as the bus comes around the corner i turn to look at mr.baker and his team still playing the sport. except for the field is very far away. i am very very sad and then i wake up.

DEAD DAYS IN FLORIDA.

is finished
and in my hand
but only can be gotten by seeing me live or maybe ordering it from me.
fuck the internet
some will hold true to the d.i.y. ethic.
bout to go play resident evil 4 because its entertaining as fuck.
i say fuck alot
i still have a headache.
life is about to take either a terrible twist for the worst or go really good.
lets hope for that second one huh.

fuck

my heel hurts,
might have to work.
and stand for like 7 hours.
but vans aint that bad.

ask your self

how do i wake up some days feeling like i do.
its my head, it hurts like theres a thousand pounds coming down on top of me.
my back aches.
I'm down today, prolly because of these habits.
I would love to kiss her lips again, its been two years, and about month since we've talked.
a movie last night reminded me of her.
i think you only fall in love once, everyone after that is a copy of that person, just tweaked a little better for the time being.
but not tweaked enough, to make them permanent.
these days, i don't know what i'm doing or where I'm going. the little bits of hope that get thrown at me dont stick. the older i get the more and more i begin to not trust anyone,
no ones words, no ones actions, nothing.
today i walked through the toy Aile at wal-mart, i miss being a kid sometimes.
but the new toys are terrible.

home

pt.2

This was probably the funnest show yet. everyone was really intrigued by the whole event. (I guess a rapper playing some real shit in a hottopic) It was very fun and we were only supposed to have a 15 minute set but ended up doing 30 instead. big ups to josef and julian for letting us crash the place.

hottopic show pics

BIG UPS TO CURTIS FOR SHOOTING THESE BAD BOYS.

2new tracks on my myspace.

http://www.myspace.com/drstrangelove12

new shit off my new tape called dead days in florida.
tell me what you think.

qtip them ditty ass ears.

c'mon kid your killing me

The city is a strange place
there are strange people there
there are strange places to go to
with stange smells and a strange atmosphere swirls about.
roaches and rats dwell the real underground. bums and four wheeled monsters roam the surface....for what in this city could they be looking for.
I find comfort in the bottom of a wine bottle.
many in this town do as well.
my Apartment hasn't been this clean in a long time.
and it hasnt been this quiet in a while and i love it.
its peaceful and calm. no bad vibes, no bad people, no messes, nothing but myself, my gameboy ds, and the beautiful sound of the t.v. humming in the distance.

wine wit the homies

fuck yeah!!!

dreds....again...

after not washing my hair for a few weeks and constantly wearing a beanie.
tada!
MY HAIR has turned to fucking dreads.
looks preety sick though.
oh and i got my lip pierced...

hate

Its a strong word indeed.... but its how I feel 99% of the time.
I saw my mom today for a few hours and it was fun and lame at the same time.
its never to fun when your mom has to come help you out of shit you did to yourself in college. but non the less i love her and miss her already.
She also brought along her new puppy named Chico, he fell and bumped his head today...it was kinda sad. I honestly think sometimes you never really grow up, that dog jumped on my face and attacked me with puppy kisses and if it wasn't for my age i would've stayed there and left him lick my face for hours. but i felt like my mom would've called me a name or said something mean if i had layed on the floor in the lazy manner i was stuck in.
I currently don't know where my life is headed right now,(join the club) but for me, its a decision and a choice that is very hard to make. 20 years old and i feel like i'm 25. I wish time was like a coach and you could take time outs or sit on the bench for a few minutes to catch your breathe.
instead its a constant struggle, until you meet your final day.

my mom said, "I'm fifty years old, its all downhill for me, you've got to start thinking about your life." my mom makes life and death seem so much worse than it is sometimes.
prozac doesn't work obviously.

one of my favorite bands

i dont really own to much converge but they progressively get better and better each album. i one day wish to attain that musicianship as a hiphop artist.

charles hamilton

you suck....

frats enrage me.

i hate how these dudes pay to have friends and get the bombest pussy all the time cause girls are to stupid to see past the shallow end.

my new shit is almost done. heres a sneak peek...

The new tape is going to be called DEAD DAYS IN FLORIDA.
It follows the last few months of recordings and day to day living.
I think i'm going to be doing a whole series dedicated to Florida, cause there's so much to write about.
so far there 9 tracks completed all produced by me except for 2, my mans brown and M.will the shogun sent me a joint.

Also i will be on the compilation for M.Will's journey through time and space so peep that shit as well.

yo excuse me...

I've been having dreams about this girl i used to date.
so fucking weird.
we were at this house, on top of the roof and i was sitting in her lap and she was a lot taller than me.
i kept looking back at her stomach, which looked really nice and so did her thighs. from time to time we would talk then all of a sudden jump off the roof onto the concrete. she would land on this couch and i would land bare feet on the ground. it kinda hurt but i would get back up and we would go back on the roof.
i never got a chance to land on the couch once and the final time beofre waking up it really hurt my feet. so fucking weird.
i went to her facebook today and ofcourse she has something stupid posted in her status bullshit.

eh...relationships...

Madlib invasion

This is 12th grade right here.
i remember riding around listening to this with my two best friends. I had to put it on cassette to listen to it in my car and it made it sound so cool. i love madlibs beats and his pitched up vox. Quasimoto is a huge influence to my music and the way i craft beats.

THE FUCK ARE YOU LISTENING TO?

DREAM GIRL? maybe..

I totally would date her, her back tat is crazy and kinda sexy seeing how i like zombies.
Would be really funny to wake up to her sleeping on her side and you see that screaming in your your face.

Word..Life

I've been drawing alot lately, and making a lot of new tunes. Gentleman J and Myself, are recording and releasing a tape under our group name, MILES MADE US.
its going to be about 8 to 10 songs, all production done by myself.
We dont have a myspace, and I don't really feel like making one for the group. i may just post updates and songs on here. it'll be like a hip hop fugazi, in the sense of staying away from all the blood sucking outlets.
And i just dont feel like going through all the bull shit that myspace comes with nowadays.
I miss when myspace was simple as fuck, you used to be able to get girls, listen to half way decent bands, and it was a small community of your friends. I remember like me and my friends were the only people using myspace when it first came out. Then like a year later it exploded into a beast.

geeezee

Madlib invasion of the day

The master of them beats

YO DAWG WHERE YOU AT!!!

YO DAWG WHERE YOU AT!!!
more random postings haha.

CeremonyHavoc

Two of my favorite artist doin what they do best.

The dudes got jokes.

I like how every time I see Obama, he puts a smile on my face, i don't really pay to much attention to politics and all that jazz, but the president enstills me with good feelings and a sense of comfort.
Stay up O.

Super Nova

http://www.zshare.net/audio/59987228668c902b/
Mr.Hudson is fucking gnarly period. In Fact my favorite track off Kanye's 808's and heart breaks was paranoid.

4:43

Todays been all over the place.
woke up to some atmosphere, great way to wake up after you've been drinking the night before.
Then listened to some cat power, and actually made a beat out of one of her songs. cant tell you cause i'll get sued prolly.
Any way, that new mos def track is beast mode if you haven't heard it.

I'm fucking amped to hear the rest of the album. sounds like its going to be good chill stuff.

MADLIB INVASION

just made a sick beat for the new tape, i don't know when it will be done but until then blast this shit.

MUSIC DOODS Not Them

http://www.myspace.com/notthemmusic
http://www.myspace.com/notthemmusic


My buddies Not Them are awesome! period awesome. They have a new tape out called poor party poets and its a jam to blast at any party or event. from start to finish, you'll find your head bobbing and your body dancing all over the place. Its a party CD that has a lyrical depth to it as well, matter fact its not even a party record, its a serious dope cd about being poor, and making it through lifes struggles with an upbeat vibe instead of going the dark dreary route that most rappers take.


I also did like three beats on the mother fucker haha!

ADVENTURE SESH

KERSED

CEREMONY is one of my favorite bands out right now, from stage presence to there cd's, its all around good shit. I saw em in Richmond before i left for Florida and it was the best going away present ever.
