Reform School Music: Archives: 2009 May

Kam Moye aka Supastition is a widely respected MC out of North Carolina, who has been in the game for over 10 years. With a grip of releases and features under his belt, Kam has built up a solid and loyal fanbase in the underground community. His aggressive energy, witty & lyrical content have appealed to hip-hop purists around the globe & while his name, as well as his style, may have changed over the years, the growth is clear in his music. As he says on “Where & Why,” “I don’t feel the challenge to write the average songs” - the ups and downs of the industry have led Kam Moye to make music for himself & in doing so, he’s maintained integrity within his music & his character. His hardwork and experiences led him to create his own “Reform School Music” label, and take his career in his own hands. The trends of rappers rapping about rapping (get that?) had to come to an end sooner or later & Kam Moye is taking new strides to bring alternatives for our listening pleasure.Here is the full track to “Where & Why,” off Kam Moye’s “Self-Centered EP,” which is full of quotables & will make you understand the name change, as well as the direction he’s taking his music…

With no hypeman and no entourage, Kam Moye has traveled the world and rocked stages alongside some of the most talented MCs & been featured on tracks with the likes of Little Brother, KRS-One, Elzhi, Royce Da 5′9 & many more. The hip-hop scene in North Carolina has advanced a great deal over the past few years, but Kam Moye was there from the beginning and worked alongside some of the most talented artists/producers to come out of the state and elsewhere in the country. With that said, I still think his role in the movement in NC is overlooked, but it cannot be denied by fans of his music or people aware of what he’s done for hip-hop. Kam Moye is set to release a lot of material in the near future & I hope that people will get out there and support it, because he’s one of the most genuine artists in this industry & you will definitely feel that when you read the interview below. We discussed so many issues & the interview is so in-depth, that I don’t need to say much more in this write-up, I can just let the interview speak for itself. In closing, therefore, I’d just like for you to check out this next track & then really take the time to let what he’s saying in this interview sink in, because this kind of insight is rarely seen or heard from an artist.

The Future of Hip Hop!!!

Here’s a video of 11-year old producer, VohnBeatz, (who is the son of Symbolyc One of Strange Fruit Project) at the One Stop Shop producer showcase in Phoenix, AZ. There is no denying the talent plus the kid’s got a good head on his shoulder. With more younger people like this…there is hope that this music will live on. Shout out to the homie Symbolyc One (who produced 3 tracks on my upcoming album as well) and his family. For more info, check out his Myspace
