Urban Echelon : Who is A-Mess?!

I recently had the chance to have a one on one conversation with a Union City, New Jersey rapper by the name of A-Mess where I asked him what he been up to musically and what’s to come. As an avid lover of music I often spend my time listening to unsigned artist. A-Mess just so happened to be one of those unsigned artist that I came across on Twitter a few years ago, I began to follow his movement and was nonetheless impressed by his musical style and delivery. He has an extremely large fan-base that continues to grow and has even put together his own in house team called, Lamborghini Dreamz (LD). Not only that he has been crowned one of the best and biggest artist to ever come out of Union City, New Jersey. He has released successful records such as “Shake It”, “Too Fast”, and recent single “Going Down” to name a few. He has achieved worldwide success. Fast forward a couple years and an interview later, and you can get a sneak peek into understanding, “Who Is A-Mess”.

What made you fall in love with music?

Well, I always believed I was born to do music at the age of 12 I remember writing lyrics and expressing myself through music. I connected with the beats right away. It was more of something I loved to do than a hobby. I would say life struggles made me fall in love with music. It became my way out.

Who are your musical influences?

At the age of 12 I looked up to 50 Cent so much. Watching him blow up during the “Get Rich or Die Trying” era inspired me to want to be on stage just like him. I'm 23 now; I'm highly inspired right now by YMCMB and I have since built my own team called Lamborghini Dreamz. My focus is to become the next YMCMB in the near future. Birdman is such an inspiration to me, went from nothing to something.

Being that you are from New Jersey, what are you doing to spread your music to the south or even west coast?

I'm looking to work with more southern artists and make great music. One thing about me I listen to a lot of music from the south. So I'm into their craft and hope to move down south one day. As far as the west coast, I would love to tour for a few months out there and get a feel of the other side!

What can 2014 expect from A-Mess?

You can definitely expect a lot of great music. I believe I'm working the hardest I ever have in my career. My team and I are working on new features with artists across the country so stayed tuned for some new greatness!

What sets you apart from other artist?

I believe the fact that I make music for me, not for the money or the fame. I always make sure to put my life on beats and express myself. Also the fact everything I do is in house. So the music will always sound like a new sound.

Any upcoming shows that you would like the readers to know about?

As far as right now shows are in the talk of conversation, but I'm really focused on creating new music.
