HOLLOW LOGICK
Q: What inspired the intense and graphic imagery in “Lyrical Murder”?
A: It’s what I see. The ugly parts stick around in your head. It’s the only way to get them out.
Q: How do you balance raw aggression with poetic expression in your lyrics?
A: I don’t. The anger comes out how it comes out. If it sounds right, I keep it. If not, I move on
That’s the way we’re wired at 3NIGMA BRED MUSIC. It is what it is.
Q: Can you talk about the role of personal pain in shaping your music?
A: Pain’s kinda been the fuel from the start. Most of the time I’m not even writing songs I’m just letting pain speak.
Q: How do you approach turning trauma into art without it feeling forced?
A: I don’t force anything. We’re not actors. If it’s not real, it doesn’t get written. Simple as that.
Q: What does resilience mean to you, both in life and in your music?
A: Not dying. That’s it. You get up because you have to. The music is just a place to put the ugly parts so they don’t eat you alive. It’s survival, not a statement.
Q: How much of the song reflects real-life experiences versus metaphorical storytelling?
A: It’s all real. The metaphors are just a different mask for the same ugly face.
Q: What inspired the recurring themes of scars, blades, and blood in your lyrics?
A: Those things are part of survival where I’m from, but also part of how I see myself. Scars are proof I’ve been through shit. Blades are what I had to sharpen just to stay alive. Blood is the cost of it all. That’s why they keep showing up.
Q: Can you describe your process for crafting the rhythm and flow of your words?
A: I just say it how it feels. If it needs to be fast, it’s fast. If it needs to be heavy, it’s heavy. It’s about making the words hit, not about showing off.
Q: How do you handle the emotional weight of the topics you explore in your songs?
A: I don’t handle it. The writing is how I don’t drown. That’s the whole point. It’s not a choice.
Q: What does the title “Lyrical Murder” mean to you beyond the literal interpretation?
A:It’s about killing comfort. Killing expectations. It’s me saying I’ll murder every limitation put on me with nothing but words.
Q: How do you want listeners to feel when they hear your lyrics?
A: I don’t care how they feel. I just want it to be real. If it makes them uncomfortable, good. Life’s uncomfortable.
Q: How has your perspective on pain and struggle evolved since you started making music?
A: I used to want to escape it. Now I just accept it. The struggle doesn’t go away. You just find a use for it so it doesn’t kill you.
Q: Do you see your lyrics as a form of therapy or more as a statement to the audience?
A: It’s therapy first. That’s the only rule at 3NIGMA BRED MUSIC: it has to be Authentic. After that, it’s just the ugly truth for other people to deal with.
Q: How important is it for you to challenge conventional rap themes with your work?
A: I don’t care about conventional rap. That’s not what we’re about. We’re here to be honest. The rest is just noise.
Q: How do you measure your growth as a lyricist from your earlier work to now?
A: Control. Before, I was just spilling guts. Now I know how to aim the bleeding. That’s something we all push each other on at 3NIGMA BRED MUSIC, sharpening the pen, not just being raw for the sake of it.
Q: Can you describe a moment when writing a line in “Lyrical Murder” felt particularly powerful or transformative?
A: There was a line that flipped scars from being about pain to being about proof. It just clicked that I wasn’t telling horror stories. I was showing survival. That’s it.
