Nine Questions: Eremsy

Posted By on Wed, Dec 14, 2016 at 9:00 AM

Producer and programmer Eremsy considers what he does as "Cliché SoundCloud rap type stuff. Not too serious." You can see Eremsy preform on Dec. 18 at R Bar and can listen to his music on SoundCloud.

What was the first concert you attended?
It was Wiz Khalifa at the AVA Amphitheater. I had lawn tickets and it was me and my cousin and we were decked out in Jordan gear, so this guy walks up to us just because we were wearing Jordan gear and he was like, "Do you guys want to sit closer?" so he offered us seats in VIP. It was pretty awesome.

What was the first album you owned?
It was Webbie's Savage Life. When I was young, I would always be watching MTV at my grandmas house and I'd see his videos. I had my dad buy it for me at Best Buy because I was too young to buy it.

What are you listening to these days?
A lot of SoundCloud, a lot of Max B lately. Yeah, a lot of SoundCloud producers and rappers.

What artist, genre or musical trend does everyone seem to love, but you just don't get?
Country. Still till this day I don't understand.


What musical act, current or defunct, would you most like to see perform live?
Honestly Tupac and like Ramón Ayala, honestly.


What is your favorite guilty pleasure?
I don't know what genre I would put it under, but its this guy named Madeon and its kinda EDM-ish—like dubstep sounding. I listen to it on my own time, never in front of people because people perceive me as just listening to gangsta rap and stuff.

What song would you like to have played at your funeral?
Probably "Never Had a Friend Like Me" by Tupac. Its a good one.

What artist changed your life and how?
I would say Kid Cudi. He was pretty much all I listened to in middle school, all his early stuff. His first mixtape [A Kid Named Cudi], Man on the Moon and stuff like that.

Figurative gun to your head, what is your favorite album of all time?
Kid A by Radiohead. That's my favorite album of all time, I would say. I can always go back to it and hear new things on it. It never gets old.
