Shadowrunners
Jan 2013
Who are you?
I’m Himself the Majestic of the rap group Shadowrunners from the Nature Boy Gang.
Where do you live?
I live in Los Angeles, and Froskees (the producer in the group) resides in sunny La Puente, California.
What do you do?
I rap and lift most of the weights in the group. Froskees produces and DJs live, on top of signing autographs and enjoying exotic women.
When did you start?
We started making music in 2007 but didn’t get going as a group until 2008 when our first mixtape dropped. We didn’t become full-time until 2011. Since then, it’s been very wavy…
How was your first show/performance?
It was cool, actually. We tricked all our friends into coming to a party at my house for what was supposed to be a video shoot. I was living in a very desolate neighborhood in East L.A. at the time. The house was on a block that had no residences around it, so we had an all-night party and performed. Had a bunch of girls roll through and random people off the street were walking in. People sliding around on alcohol. Good times.
What would you like to gain from your work?
We’d love to travel, most of all. And make a living off of it. We hate working 9 to 5s: That’s bullshit! So we’re going to take this thing as far as we can. If it fails, then whatever. I’m enjoying myself, and I get to do what I love.
What would you like your audience to gain from your work?
I just want them to treat each album or song like a different movie or scene. Each has a different feeling and purpose. We don’t have an overall message; I’m not with that shit. I want people to have their own opinions and thoughts on shit. So our music is just us, but I hope it influences people to live life in a ridiculous manner.
Who or what are your biggest influences?
Kind of hard to say, I mean, I could name some, but we have a very wide range of influences. Main ones I would say are Dipset and Three 6 Mafia. A lot of punk and heavy metal bands, as well as some video game composers. Movies and shit like that play a big role, too.
What keeps you up at night?
The fact that our reality’s probably a computer simulation created by some type of more advanced beings.
What’s next?
An album that differs from Cyberdine and everything we’ve done before. Something with more lyrical depth and layered/moody production. Songs with concepts as opposed to just rapping and shit. More shows, as well. A Nature Boy Gang EP. Solo mixtapes and EPs from Froskees and I. Basically, 2013’s going to be dope if you follow our music.
