What do you aspire to become?“I am determined to become a big hit despite the huge amounts of competition I am trying to separate my music from the genre of underground Hip-Hop in order to become a commercial artist to the likes of Skepta and Devlin I also feel that how UK artists are slated for going commercial is wrong as they are making money and good music. But for me person-ally I see it all as promotion as a negative hype is still hype init”.

What’s next for you?“I am currently working on an entirely back to back promo in production due to release around April it is the sequal to my collaborative promo with Genz “In our spare time” released on Christmas eve which had 100 downloads the same day and after about 2 weeks around 400/500 units had been downloaded the EP was only promoted over face book and people we know but “In our spare time vol.2” is gonna me massive with various features various artists such as impact, minus, screamer, phaser and some mystery artists who I cannot reveal but I can say mixtape will appeal to hip hop and grime fans”

Rx is just working hard to get his music out there get a buzz about his name and possibly become the next big artist on your TV, SO make sure you listen out for his music.

Phillip Brown known as Rx is a 22 year old UK Hip-Hop artist from south Birmingham who has always found

music as a passion he sees it as the perfect and some-times the only way he can express his emotions regard-less of his mood, and now he is making a new promo mix tape called “In our spare time vol.2” and here is an exclusive BLAM interview with the underground artist:

What inspired your name?“I started out being know as reckless because as a youth I was abit reckless you get me but as I matured I abbreviated it to Rx to show my unique image and mature vibe”.

How did it all begin?“It all began when I was a school boy just sampling rewriting the lyrics to some of my favourite songs in my spare time then went on to writing poetry and converged the two together and began writing my own music”.

What made you serious about music?“Initially music was just a passion but one tune I made called “skank out” transformed my mind state as I per-formed it live and I had the whole room banging, the room only held about 200 people and 199 of them was up on stage skanking with me this sense of power know-ing I could entertain people gave me a lot of encouragement”

What was your favourite moment as a musician?“Well it would have to be my first set with a live band called the second city sons I remixed a few of there songs it was sick as the room was packed with about 500 people and to know they were all there to listen to my music it was simply amazing”

“ITS NOT ABOUT THE DOG IN THE FIGHT ITS ABOUT THE FIGHT IN THE DOG”

What was your first ever recorded track ?“I began by recording two tracks in a home studio firstly “big boy bars” ft lexis and CdotDee and then my own “wifey” tune”. This is a beat made by Flukes Productions called Wifey Riddim and used my many artists across the Uk but most famously Tinie Tempah.
