Death Chamberz Music Interview Mr. King

Death Chamberz Music Interview Mr. King 

1.       How did you get your name?

My name...

I originally was called "City Flow" by my peers because I was always everywhere different areas every week. I was rapping different the early days I was more into the gutter  talk and drug talk because I was into the lifestyle but as I grew older and moved out the Bronx the MrKing came about with my growth. My government is Hugo King so it's simply my last name. The term King is used frequently these days but I truly am under-rated and have been given the pass by numerous artists of higher stature than me. I take my name serious and when you listen to my music you can tell.

2.    What inspired you to become a artist?

Reason to be a artist.....

I was always a fan of music, at the same time I had to sneak around in my house hiding my Walkman from my parents especially the content I was listening to. A major reason I loved music so much was because I was raised to be a athlete from a baby, my father was very demanding of me and put me in camps and the best schools at a young age. It was a form of expression I was searching for.

3.       When and how  did you start? And have you created any records yet? or mixtape?

When and How...

I started around 15,16... Me n my homeboys used to chill on the block around the old heads in the park smoking and drinking. My homies was real wild they always was getting locked up and getting money. I came up with 2 parents in my household unlike most of them so I was going home to speeches and lectures about what's going to happen if I kept hanging out. My homie was into rapping from a early age so I started go to the studio with him that's where I got a feel and want to record to make songs.

Mixtape

Yea I have one mixtape on reverbnation.com under "MrKingDVR" which was released in June2013 right before my first "album" DVR - Dreams Vs. Reality on datpiff.com. The mixtape was Engineered by Leland Gurrieri and DVR the album was recorded by Shakiah Asquith in Kingston NY.
