Street Connfinement: So as far as the features and productions….
Box: Features is me, myself and I, word. Ni$$as be like Box when you gone do your solo s**t, I understand you got ya team but when you gone do ya solo s**t. Uh, eat it. Eat it now, it’s just me. Nah mean I want everybody to know me, hear my voice. Know how I sound so if you hear me do a collabo you’ll be like “Oh that’s Box”, you feel me? If you hear Lil Wayne on somebody s**t that’s Lil Wayne you feel me. I want somebody to know me by my voice, so it’s like this fresh out the box, this Box s**t.

Street Connfinement: Especially when it’s so soon right after releasing your compilation.
Box: So soon, tell you the truth I had this done at our release party. I’m halfway done wit my second volume to my solo volume two. I just, I always right you feel me? I always work, yeah I do have a nine to five. Ya boy work, you know I be grinding man. Trying to stay out of trouble, nah mean. Have fun. You know how I do. But at the same time you gotta, if this is your dream then you gotta go for it. You can’t just be sitting back waiting and waiting, you gotta keep giving them s**t. You gotta keep giving them s**t. And I feel, I wanted to drop it in March but financially it was like, I wanted to cop the chain so I’m like I gotta put a couple things on hold, so I just dropped it another month back. Yeah we got a weekend now, instead of a day we got the weekend. Shutting it down. Word. So if you don’t make it the first day you damn sure gon make the second one.

Street Connfinement: That’s what’s up. So as far as the chain what’s that about?
Box: Oh yeah, nah mean. It’s, s**t I been paying on it for a while, I ain’t even gon lie, I been paying on it for a while. But I just wanted something to nah mean when you working hard you want something to show that you putting in work and you working hard nah mean? Like when you in school and s**t you want to go home with a report card and say I got a A, nah mean this is what I been doing in school. And then they see my chain and they like oh yeah he doing what he doing, you feel me?

Street Connfinement: That’s what’s up. As far as after this mixtape how did you come up with what songs you wanted? You said you already got the next one almost done?
Box: I didn’t. I just seen what I liked, nah mean whatever I was feeling at the time I was writing it and The Fresh Out The Box it’s not really a certain theme of the s**t. It’s just what I was feeling, all my hot songs meshed into the CD, the mixtape, you feel me? I’m in the process of working on my album right now, untitled, I don’t know what it’s gon be right now I’m just pushing out these mixtapes cause they quick banging, and they fire. Getting money at these shows, yeah. So I’m not in a rush for that one.

Street Connfinement: So what are some of the other shows you performed at, any videos?
Box: Yeah, shout outs to Zo hooking us up yo, we just did the Oh So Fly for the Wire 4. And for grind season we dropped a love song off the Fresh Out The Box. Yeah you’ll see it, you’ll see the video. But the s**t’s crazy nah mean? We got a lil split joint on there, that s**t is fly as hell. Got all my Team Jerz campers on there and s**t. It’s fly nah mean, when you hear the concept of the song it’s like this ni$$a like, this ain’t no regular ni$$a that just be poppin s**t or doing this that and the third. When he talking bout the bitches he coming at the bitches. Nah mean? When he talking about this that’s what he talking about. It’s not no garbage rap, so word you gotta come at it a different angle.

Street Connfinement: Go down the line-up like CD’s coming out under the Team Jerz umbrella.
Box: CD’s coming out. Well my Fresh OutThe Box of course. Nah mean my boy D Fox got his Foxaholic Anonymous- The Veteran, Mook got his coming out after, it’s not titled yet by Mr. Main Event or something, nah mean he don’t got a title yet but yeah that’s the line-up so far. Probably after that we’ll probably drop volume three for the Team Jerz joint and start over. Keep hearing em. That’s the line-up though.

Street Connfinement: Summertime coming up too though.
Box: Oh I already got, man July, it’s gon be a July 4th volume two Fresh Out The Box. Don’t quote me though. Word don’t quote me, it might be July 3rd or July 5th nah mean? A ni$$a be busy on the 4th. But um yeah I’m working, I’m plotting and planning on my volume two already so you already know I’m working ahead. I’m waiting on the CT cover ni$$a. You already know. If I could get that July spot that’ll be cool. That’ll be perfect timing. But yeah you know I stay grinding, nah mean we just came back from Jersey and s**t. It wasn’t on no music s**t, it was a funeral. But we be back and forth so.

Street Connfinement: Remember last time you were talking about they had everything over in Connecticut and to contact and highlight the video for the awards show. What can we expect of that?
Box: Yes, the dude Tone I’m bout to hit him up with my mixtape, and the Team Jerz mixtape. We damn sure gon be in the awards if not winning, nominated. I already know my s**t is the hottest to I don’t give a f**k. Quote that. Word. I put bread on it. My s**t is the hottest.

Street Connfinement: So since you been in Connecticut have you linked up with any other CT artists?
Box: Um some local cats’ nah mean. Some real local cats. They, I’m not trying to s**t on ni$$as, nah mean but ni$$as need to, if you really want to be a artist you gotta present yourself as a artist. You gotta let ni$$as know you a artist. You can’t be no quiet ass mc. You feel me? If you trying to make it big how you make it big and ya ni$$as in ya camp only know you rap? I’m like oh s**t you spit? You nah mean, ni$$as gotta hear about you. Like ni$$as be like yo Box you spit? I be like what you ain’t know. Nah mean. S**t it’s not I collab wit a couple cats out here but I’m on some s**t like yo I’m not gonna charge you to collab but come at me wit a collab and you not gonna push it. I don’t wanna be on ya s**t just to be doing it. I want you to push that s**t. You know if you gon touch at least a thousand people then that’s cool wit me. But if you gon play it in front of ya boys then I’ll spit a quick sixteen for em. I don’t need be wasting my time. You feel me? Time is money.

Street Connfinement: So what are some of the other artists that you look forward to working with?
Box: Um tell you the truth I look forward to working to industry artists. This local s**t, it’s cool nah mean but I really want to work wit some industry artists cause nah mean bitches be on they d**k, nah mean real talk. It is what it is. Nah mean that’ll make my s**t sell more. Unless another ni$$a go in just as hard as I am. It is what it is. I’ll collab wit anybody as long as they on their grind.



Street Connfinement: So besides the release parties have you been performing at any other places?
Box: Um my dude Blink Money was hooking me up wit some Hartford s**t you nah mean, the s**t at the Club Charisma, that s**t got shot out though nah mean. So ni$$as had to postpone it or whateva. But yeah I been touching outside of Norwich, New London it’s just whatever’s open nah mean been to Providence at the Black Rep and s**t. I don’t know, Jersey. Wherever’s available we there. We’ll go to New York, we’ll go wherever.

Street Connfinement: So as far as being on the Providence, RI cover what do you want your readers to know about you over there?
Box: Well when they get the album, when they get the CD cause I’m damn sure gon be pushing it out there and this magazine they gon know something about me. How I roll, how I am. A lil something. Nah mean if you really listen to the CD that’s what I’m about. All I be talking bout, I’m bout to get caught up. But nah mean I be talking bout bitches, getting bitches, getting money nah mean. That’s me you feel me? Bitch you don’t like to be disrespected get out my face. Get out my face nah mean. If you ain’t on the same page as me then flip it.

Street Connfinement: So as far as going from your compilation CD to your solo CD what did you bring differently?
Box: I brought excitement, you nah mean it’s just like wow this ni$$a, you nah mean it’s like you listening to the compilation you like alright this ni$$a gone be sick, damn I gotta wait three tracks to hear him again you feel me? Now what it’s like? Track, track, track, track, track. So it’s like oh s**t. It’s like oh s**t after oh s**t. Word. It’s mad s**t on there.

Street Connfinement: What was the selection process as far as actually picking the songs?
Box: There wasn’t, there wasn’t. Order wise it was kind of hard. Nah mean wanted the brim right, wanted the beats to sound good together, Roy did a hell of a job on there. Word. But um it was, I don’t know, I don’t know. We just sat down one night and banged that s**t out. Ni$$as was listening, it was cool yo. Every track was like s**t don’t even matter, just put it on the CD. Word, put it on the CD. It’s good though, and I got a bonus track on there, a collab wit me and D Fox. Um that’s my bonus joint off of his s**t Foxaholics Anonymous-The Veteran. His s**t coming out next month so we gotta give that a lil exposure but it’s definitely on some Box s**t, you feel me? Team Jerz the camp, but it’s definitely on some Box s**t. Like get a load of Box.

Street Connfinement: A lot of work going on, or a lot of playing going on?
Box: Never playing, they trying to play wit me. I’m innocent, I’m innocent. Real talk I’m innocent, I plead the fifth. I be on there doing my networking and s**t. Bitches please leave me alone, I’m trying to work. Lol. Word.

Street Connfinement: So you met any connects on there?
Box: Oh yeah I mean it’s a lot of connects on there, you feel me? I don’t know if it’s bulls**t connects until it’s crunch time, but definitely met up with a lot of connects like publishing, producing, marketing, promoting and s**t. And I’m kind of skeptical wit working wit ni$$as, especially wit ni$$as that’s far away. But nah mean I don’t know you gotta take chances sometimes. It might be the right dude to f**k wit. The MySpace is good as f**k yo nah mean. Big ups to Tom for creating that s**t. Real talk. Cause you can catch a lot of people that just be sitting there typing and s**t. That’s a hell of a marketing web joint yo. That s**t is fly as hell, I ain’t gon knock it at all. That s**t is cool. Real talk.

Street Connfinement: So how you think it’s going to affect the game. Like pretty soon they talking about CD sells dropping and everybody going digital. Are you looking forward to that?
Box: I’m not looking forward to it, but I’m ready for it. It’s been dropping, since it started it’s been dropping. But it’s like f**k. You gotta change it. You gotta change how you gon get your money now. You know back then it was about CD sales, now it’s about your f**king stage performance. Ya talent. If you can’t tour then you ain’t s**t.

Street Connfinement: Let’s talk a bout your stage presence.
Box: Oh you already know what that is. You already know how that is. So I’m good on that end. I ain’t worried about that. It’s just getting on. Soon as a ni$$a get on and go on tour it’s over.

Street Connfinement: Any last words for your readers, your fans?
Box: Last words for the readers is to read this over again cause you might miss something. Word.

Street Connfinement: How can the reader’s contact you?
Box: I got the same number my s**t don’t get shut off, (860) 639-8671. You can hit me up on the MySpace, MySpace.com/boxmann36. And yeah I do handle my MySpace, I don’t got no agent or whatever doing my s**t for me. I ain’t famous yet. Word, just hit me up nah mean, listen to my music. Cop my s**t online or if you see me. And yeah enjoy that s**t. If you like good music then you’ll like my s**t word. 11020585077?profile=original
