Karma Collective on sturban clothing Blog
Where are you from and what was it like growing up there?
SuperStead: London, It was hectic and dangerous but there are lots of interesting people to link and make music with.
Scribbles: Scribbles: Yeah my name is Aiden David Scribbles from Swaziland, South Africa and the UK (a member of the new race and its a long race to run....but
were running not away, from, but to).
Don Le Morso: The Killer Streets of SJT.
Suffice: I am from Liss in the South of UK. There was not much to do there, pretty boring with no music scene. I used to travel to London to see bands and go raving.
Snook: I'm from London so its that big city life, delayed tubes and buses and overpriced council tax.
Semantics: I live in Portsmouth.There is a weird music scene in Portsmouth that doesn't seem to know what itself is doing really, kinda like a dog chasing its tail.
How did you get your name and is there a story behind it?
SuperStead: SuperStead aka R.I.L.L.A.I have always been called SuperStead since i was a child, it was a play on my name Steadman or Steadmankind.
Don Le Morso: I used to be called Autistik when i was younger but it became too offensive and a change was needed. Don Le Morso is a slanged abbreviation of the french Dans Les Mourceaux which means In Bits.
Suffice: I have had a few names including JK Jesta when i was a D+B MC but for Hip Hop i am called Suffice which i feel summarises me as a rapper and poet in general. I speak suffice words, only Suffice will do.
Snook: Snook came from my youth where i was always the sneaky cheeky one, so mans called me snook so it sounds like ive already done rather that im about to sneak. Silver Tongue came more recent and thats my lyrical side. I spit a lot of realness hence Silver Tongue.
Scribbles: It began with me and a friend levi and it started as David Scribe then it turned into D Scribe then it became David Scribbles. The root of the name is representative of King David Scribe, Solomon's Father. Hatter was my fathers nickname but it directly came back to life through the KC subconsciously due to my surname which is Hadfield.
Was there a situation or a person who inspired you to rap?
Don Le Morso: Yes, i loved MCing to D+B in my head, badly. I spent a summer working in Sainsbury's warehouse with MC R1der who i used to freestyle with.
SuperStead: My man Jordan or Jords Chords aka JRJ. I have been involved with him since i was 6 making music and recording Hip Hop and R+B tracks.
Suffice: There was no real situation i just wrote poetry and songs cos i am so into music. I enjoyed writing, rapping came later.
Scribbles: Um..... I was the first person that inspired me or... i mean i have enjoyed hip hop since i was a kid so numerous artists from various different genres actually influenced my writing in this time but one main person who may have got the ball rolling was Levi or Slew Dada.
Snook: I grew up in London during the Garage days when everyone was MCing so it just came naturally.
Tell us about your latest release.
Snook: Its a collection of tracks to introduce us, Karma Collective, to the people.
Semantics: It is called "The Mixed-Up Tape" by all the crew, it is a collection of songs we have been working on for a while now and it came time to step up the game and get it released. It is a fat multigenre journey through styles and flavours. The follow-up volume 2 is nearly recorded and is sounding even more banging than this one.
Suffice: It is sick go grab yourself one.
SuperStead: Watch out for Reflective Materials present SuperStead and the Home Truths LP from me.
What do you prefer; playing live, recording in the studio or battling?
Snook: I'm an event man, I get a big adrenalin rush when I'm on stage.
SuperStead: Playing live, there is nothing like being on stage.
Don Le Morso: Battling people but not on stage.
Suffice: I am not a battler, i love playing live or recording, they are completely different but i couldn't choose one.
Scribbles: Well i enjoy all three but i prefer playing live or busting it out in the studio or cyphering.....
How would you describe your personality? What do you enjoy doing?
SuperStead: I am down to earth, open minded and open to new experiences and new people. I like good food, watching sport, reading and movies.
Don Le Morso: I am the epitome of efficiency and i am obsessive with being organised. I also like making music, mixing and getting (really) smashed.
Snook: I'm cheeky chappy whose life revolves around music. I'm here to enjoy life and make the most of it.
Suffice: Um.... I am a balanced person and i live for the moment. I enjoy creating ideas and coming up with stuff.
Hatter: Chaotic order (hence member of the Chaos Order). I enjoy reasoning.
How did you go about setting up independently?
Semantics: Well i set us up as a LTD Company so we are registered and we have a home studio, Sativa Cuts Studios, in my house in Portsmouth which we record everything in.
I do all the engineering and production, having learnt a lot from Doc Jones from Specimen A- nuff love bro- and reading a lot!!
We have just started pushing ourselves properly and getting everything sorted there is just never enough time.....
What’s your favourite clothing label?
SuperStead: Co-exist an independent UK clothing label.
Don Le Morso: Addict
Semantics: I am with Don on this one Addict are some sick UK clothes.
Snook: There's to many, Rocawear, Avirex, Academiks, nike, if it looks good i'll buy it.
Suffice: I don't have a favourite. I just wear lots of stuff for different reasons.
Scribbles: No labels and if there is a label read it or you will be poisoned.
Forget the budget, what would be your dream collobo?
Snook: Making a beat with Pharell, the brers a genius
SuperStead: Madlib.
Don Le Morso: Current Value
Suffice: Right now at the moment Blackmilk
Scribbles: It would have been Bob Marley but he has passed so it would be , so many, but KRS 1
Semantics: Dj Shadow.
With so many artists out there, what are you doing different to get heard?
SuperStead: Speaking real home truths, no BS, truly universal.
Suffice: Our producer, the sound he is making is so different from other hip hop with a rawness. We also have a combination of MC's from a wide range of places making us sound different and fresh.
Scribbles: Write utter crazyness and utter crazy sensical madness......
Snook: Keeping my lyrical content away from the norm which you will see on my solo album which I hope to drop in January, and making my flow stand out. Plus the tracks we do are very individual.
Now is your chance to get something off ya chest! Anything getting you down or any opinions you need to voice?
SuperStead: Stand up for underground UK hip hop cos the mainstream is whack and the underground is where it's at!!
Suffice: The UK in general needs to step up its game. We have a lot of talent and A+R people need to wake up and smell the coffee and put more money and time into us and trust UK Hip Hop.
Snook: Yeah what is it with skinny jeans and plimsoles at the moment. Sort it out.
Scribbles: Everything is blessed.
Okay, before you go please give us you’re My Space details.
Semantics: Just check out Karma Collective and you can find the whole crew on the top friends.
