Interview - Maine The Medicine Shares About 'S.O.A. (Son Of Alice)' Album

 

Indie Hip Hop artist Maine The Medicine chops it up with MJ about his latest album 'S.O.A. (Son Of Alice)' dedicated to his late mother. In the in-depth interview, Maine tells all about the creative process of the album, MC producer chemistry, making his mother proud, the secret ingredient for making timeless classics, and more. 

MJ: I see you and Leadgeon are still going strong, talk a little bit about that chemistry.

Maine: Well with Leadgeon, that's 30-year chemistry and brotherhood. I don't have to tell him what kind of beats I need, he already knows. Now lyrically we always push each other with the pen. For us, that inner competition will always be there.

MJ: One thing I find when it comes to your albums it's difficult to pinpoint one or even two favorite records. All your albums are theme-based and flow like a story from beginning to end, with no skipping. However, I do want to touch on "Pour Liquor" as that seems to hit hard and hit home with many fans and listeners.

Maine: Yes, “Pour Liquor” seems to be a popular one with the fans. I wrote that hook during the Covid,  because of all the friends and family I lost that year. I hadn't gotten a chance to write a verse to it until the night of my dad's funeral. I was already halfway through the album, but I needed to pay homage to my father. As for the feature, that's my cousin Khali Hustle from the Bay Area. He, like myself, lost a few people, and almost lost his own life to an attempted murderer. So, I'm grateful he’s still here to jump on this record with me.

MJ: I want to take a moment to pull on heartstrings and ask how difficult it was to create "Momma" and the array of emotions you must feel hearing that song being played.

Maine: Yes, that song was hard to make, and at times was hard to listen to. My mom was my everything, and that void will never be filled. She was a single mom, worked 2 jobs, and tried her best to provide for my sister and me. She was a big fan of my music, even though she said I curse too much. But she would love to watch my videos on YouTube. So, I just wanted to honor her with this album, and make her proud. Maybe one day I can compose myself enough to perform it.

MJ: Both as a fan and professional in the music industry, I must say how refreshing it is to experience your growth as a man and artist with each album you release. There's a manner in which you invite the world into your personal life experiences that allows us to authentically embrace and grip your emotions. Your use of lyricism and wordplay flows effortlessly over boom-bap cadences. What is it about Maine The Medicine that stands out from other artists?

Maine: I just try to be the best version of myself. I move off of the emotion and the vibe of the beat. Sure I have topics that I want to address,  but instead of forcing I wait for the right track to bring it out of me. I also know as an artist I can always get better. I can always make my sword sharper. I never convince myself that I made it because that can go to your head. I want to continue to keep that hunger for more.

MJ: Take us behind the scenes of the album ‘S.O.A.’  Let us in from the inspiration to creation to the final product. I know the album is buzzing with a social media frenzy and fans are listening on repeat with genuine compassion.

 

Maine: The creative part was fun and therapeutic for me. I mean, of course, it was some pressure because this album is dedicated to my mom. But at the same time, that's what helped it flow. When I was listening to the tracks, I was thinking who could've made this dope? There are so many dope artists I know that I hadn't worked with yet, so I wanted to link with them on this album. Plus I got the few staples that are always on my albums like Leadgeon, Suspect,  and Tysoul. But I listened to this album about a hundred times to make sure it gave me the same feeling as the first time. I can honestly say it most certainly did.

MJ: What is your secret to being able to stay afloat and create timeless music? In an era where music seems to fall into an abyss of one-hit wonders and what's trending, there must be some challenges.

Maine: I make music on how I feel and the vibe the beat gives me. I put my all into my music, and I'm not afraid of being vulnerable about my life. I think artists fail when they force a hit or try to sound like what's hot. The best thing to do is to let the music come naturally. In the process sometimes you end up with a hit that you didn't know was going to be a hit.

MJ: I'm not sure what can top ‘S.O.A.’ but can you give us some inside scoop on other projects or endeavors you're working on?

Maine: It's going to be really hard to top ‘S.O.A.’ but I'm not really sure that I want to. Because it's such a special album, I wouldn't mind if this is my “Illmatic.” No album I do after this will ever be as special as this one. As for future projects, I will stick to the same formula I have been using and let the mood and the beat take me on a journey. I have a few projects coming up, like the Mercy Gang EP and an EP titled ‘Iron Horse Talk.’ Leadgeon and I have an EP as well. But for now, I'm just pushing the ‘S.O.A.’ album, and the tee shirt line we’re working on with Electric Frog Designs.

MJ: As we wrap up, take this time to let the world and fans know anything else about the album or Maine The Medicine

Maine: I want people to know that I put a lot of time and emotion into this album. I'm super honored about the response I'm getting off ‘S.O.A.’  The love and support make me feel like I succeeded in making my mama proud. The thing I want people to know about Maine is I love being creative. I'm going to always try to give you something different.

Merkabah "Kiss of Judas" Video (off 'The Messiah Complex" LP)

 

Merkabah releases visuals for the lead single off his critically acclaimed ‘The Messiah Complex’ album. “Kiss of Judas” produced by Metasin Music is shot in what appears to be a run-down church filled with religious candles and Merkabah spreading the good word through lyrical wisdom.

The drum-driven track begins with an excerpt from a sermon defining the kiss of death. Merkabah then makes his entrance into the church to christen the grounds with his own lyrical scriptures. He speaks on the greazy and slimy moves of others all while they preach the name of the lord.

Merkabah is honest with his proclamation to rid demons, lies, and deceit the one way he knows and lives by…his pen and pad which serves as his sword and holy writ.

C.J. Watson Releases 3rd Solo Album Titled 'Chris'

 

C.J. Watson releases his new album “Chris.” The 24-track project is his third solo studio album with Real Every Day Entertainment LLC. The Dallas, Texas-based artist recruited an elite selection of musicians including Jayson Lyric, Kenny Smith, Almighty Lord Wrecka, Raekwon, Rakim Al-Jabbar, J.Waiters, BSG LIL KEN, Vera Blaque, TAG, Garshar, and Kam Simmy to deliver classic nostalgia.

“Chris” truly captures C.J. Watson in his natural being while sharing impeccable storytelling and captivating lyricism. He bluntly expresses his personal truths over diversified soundscapes brimming with funk, soul, and cinematics. It’s evident his past vulnerabilities have shaped him into the man, “better than average, more than a savage” and artist he is today.

The Disclaimer is just that, a disclaimer on music as an art form and the need to respect it. First Generation Millionaire is a funky track about being self-made and self-paid with an LLC locked for C.J.’s kids and grandkids to blaze on. Charge it to the Game describes how C.J. rose above triumphs and is now securing success with no more losses. Blessed, a more upbeat, bouncy tempo with a catchy hook reaffirms his destined life filled with knowledge, wins, and blessings.

Keep a Weapon, a street anthem of the album sends a message to anyone who’s tripping over C.J.’s status, take heed to the heavy metal that falls on his waist side. Cigar Music is definitely for the fellas…big smoke and big cash with a big stature…It’s Mr. Watson when you see him.

Two Girls One Plan is a comedic skit of a gold digger trying to convince her friend to lose the books and head to the club for some twerking action, with hopes that C.J. Watson’s eyes will be hypnotized. Classy & Nasty is for all the independent women bossed up, yet Patron ready behind closed doors. She’s a Pro is for the grown folks and follows suit of Classy & Nasty as C.J. holds no bars to divulge how to please his johnson…Ridin’ is a chill, laid-back track for riding through the 503 with no plan of action other than enjoying the moment. 

Everybody Hates Chris justifies his entourage of haters. There’s no in-between either you’re head-nodding along or stuck on the sidelines. I Need is a track ideal for self-affirming the man in the mirror. C.J. acknowledges what he strives for in life from health and wealth, a wife and 40 acres, and the need for continued elevation. The Messiah is a pivotal track of the album...at the end of the day, C.J is steering his own ship with no captain and without any SOS measures or life vest. 

You Need To is another comedic but incredibly realistic skit of people jumping in C.J.'s face with music demands…dumb down the music…dye your hair and show off a face tattoo…pop music gets heard on radio…get the ladies to shake asses and tits…Too Black for the Radio piggybacks off the skit, however, C.J. asserts his gimmick-free style and clearly is not here for a one-hit-wonder or the next minute man trend. Alpha Male coins C.J. as a leader of the pack with a heart of steel. He’s survived hell a few times and now refuses to digest any failure. Black Love Theory depicts a tale of authentic love between man and women, king and queen…that F the world, candlelit bath, no social media love. My Brotha/My Sista is the final skit of the album, one that addresses how brothers and sisters speak to one another in tones that are both telling and hypocritical.

Hueman is an empowering track for black men who stand tall and proud as Sun God’s with reflective hues. Inspire and Empower is a timeline of C.J.’s life that mentions times when he was discarded and forgotten…move forward to 2021, survival is the only topic while he keeps his eyes on the prize. Ray is another track that delves into past scars, specifically with a man who carried false intentions for his mom. Family Tree is a more in-depth lyrical bout that every family regardless of culture or background can relate to. C.J. sheds light on death, addictions, high tail police, troubled streets, and our choice to flourish or fall victim under the sun. III is another jewel-dropping track and C.J. has no qualms about lifting the rug and exposing our tainted society and communities.

Roll Credits, the last track of the album, summarizes C.J.’s thought process and commitment to enjoy his motion picture of life. He paints a lyrical canvas that fascinatingly captures his role as man, emcee, philosopher, and survivor…
