BFM: What part of the Chi you reppin homie?
KFDC: I'm from the Humboldt Park area. I been there my whole life.
BFM: Would you like to comment on the violence going on over in West Humboldt last week?
KFDC: That's exactly the shit I'm talking about. You hear about gang violence so often on the news that its pretty much normal. I didn't know the victim (Jovany Diaz) personally but a lot of people on my FB newsfeed did and the pain of those people was easily felt through a simple Facebook status. The fact that he was only 15 is fucking scary to me because I have two teenage brothers that live in this area. It never ends. You already know somebody's gonna get theirs. Its a circle. How do u stop a circle of retaliation??
BFM: What's the project you're working on now. Can you put everybody up on what's the whole concept around the project?
KFDC: Right now, I'm working on the video for my single "Grindin Like Daaaamn" which will feature my cameraman and a few others on the team. Basically, the concept of "Grindin Like Daaaamn" revolves around an educated, young hustler going about his day. While he is being surveilled by detectives, he acts on his instincts, dodging the detectives on their endless pursuit, that is, until they catch up with him................
BFM: What are you working on right now, what are your big plans for the future?
KFDC: At the moment, I'm just working on creating a buzz over the coming summer. I've gotten a lot of positive feedback for the music I been putting out recently. I feel like I'm finally settling in within myself as an artist. There's so many aspects of what I do and the work is never ending. From creating a beat, to writing the lyrics, to producing the video; it keeps your mind at work 24/7. and I love it. Some of my current goals are to start doing shows and putting out more music. As for big plans... I just wanna be one of the dopest.
BFM: What are some things you love or hate about the Chicago Hip-hop scene right now?
KFDC: I think Chicago niggaz got a lot to offer when it comes to hip hop. Just through browsing Chi-Bangerz, I was put up on some DOPE ass niggaz that I never knew existed such as them UDOTfam niggaz. Now I'm bangin they shit heavy lol. Its all about originality to me. There are lyricists in Chicago that put creativity and thought into their music and get no love. There's a lot more to Chicago hip hop than money, drugs, bitches and guns. Its a normal part of life for anybody that lives and knows their own hood, but its not the only aspect of life and i just think we need to explore and touch more on the real life shit instead of actin like this hood shit is the way to live, cuz from first hand experience, its really not.
BFM: Where can we get our hands on your music and where can they see you live in person next?
KFDC: You can find my music on my Souncloud @ http://www.soundcloud.com/iamkoopa & you can find most my videos @ http://youtube.com/4DaLo88. I dont have any shows booked at the moment but Chi-Bangerz.com will be the FIRST to know.
