In light of Mr. West’s 38th Birthday today, Soar Loser’s crew member and standout Stewart Villain decided to remix the Rihanna, Kanye West and Paul McCartney hit FourFiveSeconds. Speaking with him over the last couple of weeks, we decided to do a short interview to correspond with the remix. Hit play below and then read the interview. Shouts to Stew and the whole Soar Loser’s crew. Let’s go.
Matty: Let’s start with the obvious: Why this song and why now?
Stew: Besides “All day” this is the newest joint he had that’s still fresh in people’s minds. Plus I’ve found when I tie a release in with a current event people are more likely to grasp the idea more than just a random drop. I also felt like I could add a cool ass flair to it because of the way I’ve been sampling things as of late. Nobody really has done what I did on this one haha. At least that I know. Feel free to correct me if need be lol
Matty: How much of an influence is Kanye to your music?
– His verses on that “Go Hard” joint with t-pain and Khaled are fuckin nuts. “Imma tell you like George bush told me. Fuck yall n***as I’m outta hereeeee”
– I’d prolly say “We Major“. Love brass Instruments. That shit is a classic
– “Coldest Winter“, “Don’t say you will” and “Bad News” are a close tie. 808s and heartbreaks was so ahead of its time. Didnt really like it until I got older. Kinda like when your try beer as a Child lol.
– It’s also tied up with “Slow Jams” and “Through the Wire“. Those were the first two songs I ever heard from Kanye.
Matty: Other than this, what else do you have in the works and where can people check you out?
