Hip Hop is more than music. It’s a culture and there is one that is in constant growth here. This month I took time to speak with Kaimbr and Sean Born. Many have come to know them from the famed low Budget Crew. Kaimbr has literally been cooking in the kitchen with his show “Copious Amounts” (view on YouTube) and Sean Born with his vivid pen game and production on the MPC One. Their project collaboration, Nino Green is filled with hard beats, rhyme play, and it’s the soundtrack that the streets need.
Can you tell me how you came about the album title and concept?
We’re selling dope to the culture. We the lightskin Wes Snipes… We are our brother’s keeper… We G Money if he wasn’t gettin’ high on his own supply and worried about hoes.
I Love it! You both have been on the scene for quite some time and seen the change in landscape. How does this project blend in or is the intent of not blending in?
I didn’t want to sound like anything out right now. I wanted to sound familiar but fresh.
I totally understand. Sean, let’s talk beats. You primarily handled most of the production on the album. Can you talk about your beat selection for this project?
I wanted the production to move a lil… a lil more upbeat. It’s a lot of people making dope music right now. We all don’t have to sound the same. I want people to feel the same way they felt when they heard the War Report or Supreme Clientele.
So it’s 30 years of New Jack City and the cover art says it all. How do you embody the characters of such a classic film?
There’s Nino Brown/Green in all of us.
Please drop your social handles for our audience.
