Having stepped away from this hip hop lark in 2007, Genesis Elijah has recently resurfaced, taking his career into his own hands and sounding hungrier than ever. We checked in with Genesis to find out where he’s been at, where he’s going to and what he thinks of the UK scene at the moment. Candy-arsed rappers look away now.
What you been up to and what’s the game plan for 2010? I’m Doing It seems to suggest you’re in a pretty focused mood…
“Oh yeah! I’m on this thing like I’ve never been before. I’ve been preparing for 2010 since the beginning of 2009 and my whole plan for 2010 is to get me in a good position for 2011. I’ve been getting rid of deadweight waste men from around me and adding people who are focused on me. It’s nothing personal, just business.”
What producers have you been working with?
“Erm that I’m Doing It track was produced by Rich West but my new EP Civil Unrest was produced by Beezwax and the one after Before I Was Famous was produced by The Krate Krusaders. I’ve just started working with a producer called Flex who’s got some serious talent and I’ll also be working with Blacksmith & Jonny Simps.”
And what about MC’s? Have you got any collaborations stashed away or coming up for heads to get excited about?
