Rowdy Superstar Interview ™/ Text /Shamz Le Roc / Pic / Grimzy 16th January 2008 Far from your conventional MC roars Rowdy Superstar, the self proclaimed weird beat, hip-hop experimentalist. Influenced by rock acts like Nirvana to your heavy weight rappers like Method Man, one can not help but listen to his eclectic upbeat tunes. His lyrics describe him to be the ‘big bombaclart’ and here at ‘The Cut’, we certainly believe him. Cool, calm and collected, Rowdy sits on the sofa as his sequined New Era Cap glistens with every move he makes, ‘I dunno, I just think they fit me’ he utters. ‘I like that if you see someone in sequins you can’t help but look’. His speech is far from fictitious, his songs mirror his appearance, they cannot be missed. Catchy tracks like ‘Queen of Sheeba’ display Rowdy’s wit and charm as he threatens to take your girlfriend and fly her around the world. With his first mixtape ‘The Fck Up’ about to drop, Rowdy has a promised a deliverance of something ‘UK, self produced and homemade’. With set collaborations from uprising talents like Lingo Scott, the mix tape is sure to leave a big boot imprint in the music scene. The first official single to grace our ear drums will be ‘Tick Tock’. A song telling the tale of a fast girl whose promiscuous activity will not be kept in the closet for much longer, to put it politely. ‘It was more of me looking in on a situation, than being in it’,* Rowdy explains. Music may be his first love but it’s not all he’s involved in. The 22 year old is the front man for Miss Jones’ new men’s fashion label,‘Wonderland’. Miss Jones is responsible for the iconic white hooded dress in Kylie Minogues, ‘Can’t Get You Out Of My Head’. Rowdy proclaims, ‘Im lucky to be working with her, she is an amazing designer’. With all this buzz around Rowdy Superstar, 2008 is set to be his oyster. The music video for Tick Tock will ready for lift off soon although Rowdy has kept his creative plans a secret. *‘Expect; Me, my Bad Arse Hype Bitches, black, white and gold. That’s all I’m gonna say for now because you know how people like to bite my sht.’** For more: www.myspace.com/rowdysuperstar		Bashy Interview The Cool Kids Lady Lykes Grimes New School Rowdy Superstar Interview The Sound Of Reason Slash Interview Hoxton Vs Hampstead Fashion Young Designers Lucinda Chua Interview Will Kay Interview The Brothers Size Chris Lambert Duane Henry Drug Trafficking Feature Does My Bum Look Big in This Life After Prison Whats Upsetting Our Children MP Julia Goldsworthy Autechre Live In London Hardcore Is More Than Music Media Box Paddington Development Trust The Cut On Myspace
