36K: Bringing back the 90’s Sound




I received Tweet with a SoundCloud attached to it. Like All music we receive I took a listen to it, and I was surprised. It felt like an old school Hip-Hop track (and by old-school I’m referring to 80 and 90’s music). The 80’s and 90’s was an era in hip-hop when music had a genuine yet unique feeling to it. It took me back to the time when you got excited to hear the beats and the lyrics that went along with those beats. It was during a period when music had substance. I got that feeling back when I listened to one of 36K’s track. Let’s just say he is going to be a game changer….he is going to bring back the 90’s sound.

When did you fall in love with music?

I began to fall in love with music around the age of 4. I couldn't really understand the meaning to most songs, but what really caught my attention about music was the instruments, every element that went into making what I was listening to at the time, I always questioned how they make that sound the way it sounded.

Who is 36K?

Unlike most producers I didn't decide to be called Dj so and so, or blank on the beat for example. Instead I wanted to have a unique name with a lot of meaning behind it. 36K, is symbolizing the 90's ERA of music also known as "The Golden Age" because music was so pure, so raw, and meaningful. Long story short, my name is representing GOLD, 24K isn't good enough. 

What attracts you to the 90’s Hip-Hop sound of music?

The main thing that attracts me to this style of music are the elements. When you listen to music from this time you hear originality, creativity, inspiration and many other things. Not saying I don't like the music from today, to me music back then was more pure, and meaningful. 

What makes your music unique?

What makes my music unique, is that there's always different elements, and every time you listen you can feel where the music is coming from. You can pretty much close your eyes and visualize something in relation to you, in a way it touches people. 

Describe your movement NEW JWR$EY NATIVE?

NEW JWR$EY NATIVE: Is my own personal movement which I came up with a few months back. It's pretty much a description of what you hear when you listen to my music. We all know east/west/southern styles of music, when you listen to my music you're hearing music from a NEW JWR$EY NATIVE. It’s not anything else but a kid from Jersey with ambitions. 

What was your inspiration behind “While You Wait”?

When I made "While You Wait" I was honestly responding to a few listeners, (I don't call them fans) who were actually looking forward to me releasing some new material. Before that track I have been very quiet because I'm working on an instrumental tape. So the inspiration behind that was to talk to those listeners let them know I'm still active, and give them a taste of what direction that project is headed. 
 



What can we expect from you in the future?

You can expect a lot of stuff from me. I'm constantly making beats daily, I could honestly tell you I make about 3/4 beats a day. My upcoming project is strictly 90's based music, with inspiration from producers like;!ll Mind, Pete Rock, The Alchemist, Battlecat, and many more.

When it’s all said in done, would you rather be remembered as a businessman or for your music?

I would rather be remembered for my music. The reason why is because music speaks to people, you could be a business man for 10 years active, but what happens when someone else creates a better business? You fall. Music lives forever I still listen to Krs One, Wutang, Eric B & Rakim and many more, mind you when those cats were out I was barely even 4. People respond to music.
