Judging from radio and TV you'd think every rapper and singer in America lives in Atlanta, New York, Miami or Chicago, but believe it or not, there a thousands of artists in other cities making great music. That's why RefinedHype is giving artists from less-well-known locales the chance to rep their city on the national stage.
Today we kick off our "My City" series with Trazz, a Buffalo, New York native whose hyper-electronic blend of hip-hop and R&B has been building some serious buzz. While Buffalo is probably known to most Americans as "the city T.O. plays in," Trazz lets us know there's far more to the upstate New York city than just cold weather; like for instance "Loganberry Juice."
RefinedHype: You're from Buffalo, a city that doesn't get much attention on the national stage. Do you feel like an underdog because of where you're from?
Trazz: No doubt, My city hasn't has a major recording star since Rick James. But trust me, its all motivation and I have no problem carrying the city on my shoulders. Upstate, I got us!
RefinedHype: Does Buffalo have a style or sound that makes it unique?
Trazz: Although Buffalo is a part of NY state, we are still 6 hours away from NYC. I believe we have our own identity. Its mixture of NY hip-hop with a touch of southern influence.
RefinedHype: Are there other artists from your city that we should be watching out for?
Trazz: Most definitely. I consider myself the front runner, but my region has a lot of talented artists. Shouts to T-roc, 2 Chain Benny, Nikal Fieldz, LI, and SunNY
RefindeHype: For those who find themselves rolling through Buffalo, what are some places they absolute have to check out?
Trazz: Gotta get the "Buffalo Wings" of course! The Anchor bar is the best in town. You also want to wash them down with "Loganberry Juice". You wont be able to find that anywhere in the world but Upstate NY. And if you happen to be in town on a Sunday, you gotta roll through Ralph Wilson Stadium and check a Buffalo Bills game. Shouts to Terrell Owens!
RefinedHype: Last words?
Trazz: Check my new Single "
All They Wanna Talk About." Its getting a lot of radio love, so request it at your local radio station.
