    DJ King Flow Interview - Slovo Magazine (Russia)




     I had the chance to be interviewed by a Russian hip-hop magazine a few days ago. Check out my interview on "Slovo Magazine" ! #International

     READ THE INTERVIEW HERE 

    And here is the English version :



    1.When and how you come to HipHop? What is influenced on you?

    I was introduced to hip-hop music when I was 7. I remember that I fell in love with hip-hop when I first heard “Nuthin But A G Thing” by Dr Dre and Snoop Dogg. My influences at that time were Snoop, Dre, 2Pac, Jay-Z, Cam’Ron, and even Lil Jon lol !

    2.Why you decide make music from where it come? How did you got your name King Flow?

    One day I was at my cousin’s crib and he had a beatmaking DVD in his room, I asked him if I can use it to make my first beats, and he said yes. I was 9 years old, that’s how I started. I got my name “King Flow” from my good friend and family Alyssa Lawrence, from NY. She was in France when I was a kid and she wasn’t able to pronounce my real French name “Florent” so she said “Flow” with the American accent. That’s how I got my name !

    3.Whats your opinion of HipHop movement?Y ou see it in Kulture or its just term for Buisness and Entertament?

    I think that the hip-hop movement is one of the most creative movements ever. I see it as a real culture, and not as a business, even if it is a business in 2013, so you have to be able to handle your business correctly to do big things in the industry. But I think you can perfectly mix both : the hip-hop culture and the business side of the movement.

    4.What your goals in HipHop?

    My goal is to be able to do good quality music, network with artists and people from all around the world and make my family proud, by any means necessary !

    5.What is Homicide Flow Ent. is?

    Homicide Flow Ent is a record label and an association between artists, producers and DJ’s from all around the world. The CEO is my brother Flowers.

    6.What you think about DJ's that don't play vynyl? Do you think DJ's must play only vynyls or is it possible be DJ without equipment like that?

    I think you have to start with vinyl to learn your craft, but you also have to evolve with the technology. As long as you’re doing your job as a DJ, making people dance, help new artists and get your money, nothing is wrong if you are not using vinyls in 2013. We have to live with the technology.

    7.Tell something about your projects.How many albums you have?

    I’m working on a lot of mixtapes with DJ Arab, Stretch Money, Eddy Starks from France, Flowers, and more good hardworking people. I did over 230 mixtapes in my career and worked with Krayzie Bone, Ace Hood, Masta Ace, Blaq Poet, etc… I currently have 6 instrumental albums out, and I’m working on my 7th album, narrated by Dave McMurray. It’s coming on September 11th !

    8.Whats your plans on future?  

    Did you travel and make shows around world?
    I just want to continue to work with talented artists and stay productive and creative. Yes, I’ve travelled to New York City, Upstate New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Dallas and Chicago. I did a few shows in Texas, New York and Louisiana.

    9.Who is your favorite DJ and Emcee?

    My favorite DJ is JR Ewing, a French underground mixtape DJ. He influenced me to do quality mixtapes. My favorite MC’s are Krayzie Bone and Big K.R.I.T.

    10.What you dislike in people?

    I hate people who lie, talk too much and don’t pass the blunt. Haha.

    11.What you can say about Universal Zulu Nation?

    This is a movement that I respect a lot. I’m affiliated to the Nation because of my man Flowers.

    12.For you what is first in life Family or Work?

    Family comes first, and work comes second. I’m nothing without my family, they’ll always be there for me !

    13.Do you know some HIPHOP artists from Ukraine or Russia or
    other countries from ex-U.S.S.R.?

    Yes, I remember that I listened to hip-hop from Hungary back in the days, and I’ve also been working with rappers from Poland, I also did an interview with a Polish magazine.

    14.Your wishes to our Hiphoppas and all COMMUNITY worldwide.

    I wish everybody to be safe, continue to do great things for the culture and don’t forget : PEACE, LOVE, UNITY, and HAVING FUN.

    DJ King Flow is a DJ that continues to stretch the boundaries of what a conventional "DJ" is. The 19 year old that hails from Orleans, France has made several achievements that older DJ's have yet to attain. His biggest influences are QUINCY JONES, TEDDY RILEY, PETE ROCK, DJ WHOO KID, DJ PREMIER, MICHAEL JACKSON and many more... DJ King Flow is versatile and cannot be put into a box. The 19 year old phenom has also been crafting beats and mixes since the age of 9. His passion and intense dedication for music causes him to have a drive to always make additional tracks, while pushing to raise the bar for success.

    What is the significance of your name and how did you get that name?

    I had that name when I was a kid. American people were not able to pronounce my French name “Florent” so they called me Flow. And I came up with the name “DJ King Flow”.

    Describe your style?

    My style is unique. I’m doing my best to be a “street A&R” and work with artists from all around the world. At the same time, I am also a producer, you can always hear jazz music in my instrumentals. I have an instrumental jazz project coming on September  11th with Brain Kave Music Group & Lounge Masters.


    What was the first record you start scratching and mixing on the turntables?

    It was jazz music by George Benson & Earl Klugh, I had this record from my dad’s collection. The first hip-hop vinyl was “Put Em In Their Place” by Mobb Deep.

    You are a pretty diverse DJ, describe the music scene in your neck of the woods?

    The music scene in the US is very interesting for a French DJ like me. Everybody is grinding, trying to make moves, drop mixtapes and be active in the game. This is a mentality that I’m trying to bring to France and make the French music scene even better than it is now.

    How is it to work live sets with some of today's biggest stars?

    I don’t really do live sets with stars, I’m more about doing mixtapes with them and doing radio mixes. It’s always good to have a hip-hop star to support your work, it motivates you to work harder and be better than you are now.

    Who and what are your influences?

    My biggest influences are my family, my fans, Michael Jackson, DJ Clue, Alchemist, Madlib and Whoo Kid.

    What artists are you listening to right now?

    Marq Divine, Flowers, C-Will, Bill Thousand, Busta Rhymes, Krayzie Bone and everybody who sends me music for radio and mixtapes submissions.

    Who would you like to work with in the future?

    I would love to work with Method Man, Snoop Dogg and Big K.R.I.T.

    What would be the steps you would take as a DJ to Break an artist in your area?

    I’d do my best to have studio sessions with the artist, work on a solid project, contact radio stations, set up interviews with magazines and try to book shows of course…

    Do you prefer radio or live DJing?

    I prefer radio DJing, because I really feel free to play EVERYTHING that I want.

    Is there anything you would like our readers to know?

    I want to thank everybody for the support, be on the lookout for more projects sponsored by the Coke Boys South, my jazz project coming on September 11th, “The Sweet Science” with C-Will coming on August 13th, and I will be back on Fleet DJ Radio and UE Radio Live starting September  1st every Friday night 10pm-11pm on Fleet DJ Radio and every Saturday 6pm-7pm on UE Radio Live!
