Interview With Bomb Beatz
1.) What bought you guys into music and how long have you been writing
songs?
————————————————————
We always wanted to make our own CD. When we started rapping together, everybody told us we sounded better than some people on the radio. We have been into music our whole life. Yung Reek and J-Zilla have been writing music all their life. Revanew has been rapping for two
years, and making beats his whole life.
2.) What challenges are you up against being a Hip Hop artists, How does
writing beats differ from writing guitar riffs?
————————————————————————-
The challenges we face are trying to get into the rap game. Then once we’re
there, keeping our spot in Hip Hop. Even if it means being number 1, or
being number 100. (Revanew says) I think making beats and making guitar
riffs are not so different. It’s like you have a blank puzzle and you have
to make the pieces and put them together in a perfect fit. 3.) How has being a music artist improved your life?
———————————————————————
We have learned to appreciate all aspects of making a song. The time, people, the equipment, and the rite ideas. Now, instead of us just thinking of the artist on TV or in the spot light. We think about the people in the background that you don’t see.4.) What kind of experience did you have while writing your album?
————————————————————————
We did live performances at San Diego Job Corps in California. We did Showtime at the Apollo in Downtown San Diego’s Lyceum Theater. We met the head GM of PCM Records. There is so much more people that we met that gave us advice on our album, we just can’t name them all.

We heard about your site (moshable.com) on myspace. Some one left us a message and told us to check it out. So we did. The thing that we like moshable.com is that there not just for a siren crowd of music. Moshable.com is not just a place where you only hear rock or pop or hip-hop. The way the times and the music is now days. All the styles and trend are mixing to form something completely new.

Yung Reek’s dream car is a hooked up 2008 Chrysler 300C.
Revanew’s dream car is a hooked up 2008 Cadillac Escalade EXT.
J-Zilla’s dream car is a tricked out modified 2008 scion XB.17.) What do you think was your biggest mosh pit?
—————————————————————————-
Even thou we are a Hip-Hop group. We still like to party like a rockstar every now and then. When we go to house partys in East San Diego or go to the clubs in Downtown San Diego. The DJ plays Party Like A Rockstar, and we all lose it! Jumping, pushing, and yelling. Now that’s a mosh pit. But we have a good time.
18.) Anybody ever get hurt at one of your shows?
———————————————————————————–
Come to think of it. There was one time. We (Bomb Beatz) were about to do the Apollo in Downtown San Diego. (Now we are trying to get out of the ghetto) Where we stay, there are a lot of gangbangers. We were out side of the Apollo waiting to get in and perform. We knew, there were two rival gangs at the Apollo. One gang had about 120 people and the
other gang had about 30 people. So a big fight broke out. The fight lasted
for about 10 minutes. A lot of people were hurt, but nobody died.
19.) Is there anything you would like your fans to know about that I
haven’t asked?
———————————————————————————
Yes. Bomb Beatz is forever. There is no breaking up this group. Revanew and Yung Reek are cousins, and we all have known J-Zilla sence we can remember. We all know each others familys and everybody knows everybody. In the future, look out for some solo albums for Revanew, J-Zilla, and Yung Reek. Know matters what happens. It Bomb Beatz forever.
