Valentine's Month : Couples In Love

Bazaar Royale (aka Da Boogieman from Da Bassment) interview..

TB: How did you get into Hip Hop as a youngster? 

BR: Are you for real??? 

TB: Yeah! You never know, you could've been into rock...

BR: I was into both, i didn't get into radio that much because i was placed in a group home as a kid. My first music i heard was AC/DC

TB: Where did you grow up?

BR: Five boroughs of NYC

TB: I heard your mom was a back up singer for Luther Vandross?

BR: YEAH!! She was a very good singer at that too..

TB: How did you end up with DeVante Swing of Jodeci?

BR: It was the day i got off the island..Just ran into the dude with Timbaland and all them cats. Walked up to them and i was like "WSSSUUUUUP". I did my freestyle thing, he liked it, and gave me his number. I had the number for a few days and then gave him a call.

TB: What was your name in Da Bassment? 

BR: DA BOOGIEMAN

TB: How were Da Bassment days? 

BR: Yoooo it was pure dope bruh.. It was like a college for artists

TB: Stevie J said the same thing..it was like a college fir him too

BR: Yeah, it was like a college for free. I was in Da Bassment for nine years. I was there when we had Lambo's and elevators in the house to when shit went real bad..

TB: Why was there a fallout with Da Bassment. Was it because De was trying to be a CEO and an artist at the same time?


BR: I really don't know. I was to young to know what was going on. To me, everything was going good as far as i could see. Didn't know about the business part of it, but i had fun in Da Bassment

TB: Did you have any solo joints that you did in Da Bassment?

BR: Yes, i had quite a few back then. That's all we did, we recorded all day every day. That was our job. We all lived together, it was like some Motown shit..

TB: How did you end up in the Ruff Ryders camp after Da Bassment?

BR: Hmmm..that's a good story. I heard they were holding auditions. So i went to the place of the auditions. There was a long line, so i skipped the line and told the dude there were no more auditions...so go home. I walked in the office and stood there for ten minutes. They were like " Are you going to audition" ? I was like " I'm an artist, your in my world now. You don't tell me when i'm going to audition". So i jumped on the table, kicked over the phone, and just started doing me..I GOTTA DO ME

TB: Are you still with Ruff Ryders?

BR: Yeah, once you're in you're never out..

TB: Do you have an album out with them?

BR: Yeah i did, but they had a fallout with Def Jam. So i stopped for awhile, settled down and became a grown man with that. That's what you gotta do until another opportunity presents itself again..I'll be out there doin me again.

TB:  I think you're one of the most slept on artists out..

BR: WOW!!! thank you...i appreciate that dawg

TB: What's in the future for Bazaar Royale?

BR: Well i'm constantly doin shows. I just got back from Japan..There's appreciation for me in Norway too..Gotta keep grindin and be beast with this..Gotta get a chance at the high school dance, ya feel me



In this Valentine's month i present the love of Bazaar Royale's life...DJ BEVERLY BOND interview..

TB : Who influenced you to become a DJ? 

BB: I think influenced myself, and my mother for installing music in me. Never had a desire to become a DJ, it wasn't something i wanted because i was a music collector. When i finally bought some turntables,  i didn't have them to be a DJ. I bought them to have in my crib..When i started practicing, i was like "This is nice" . Doing this was just a hobby, i did it for fun. My mother said this was my calling.

TB: What's your favorite style of DJ'ing... Blending, cutting, scratching etc..?

BB: I'm real nice with the blend, alright with the scratch.. No way am i a battle DJ. I do my thing, and i love the hell out of my music collection.

TB: When was your first break to success? 

BB: I started DJ'ing in January of 2000. I used to be a model before i was a DJ, so i used to know a large amount of promoters. Then one day, a friend of mine called me up and asked if i wanted to DJ early that night. Well, it turned out that this was a party that was going to last three weeks because it was a special event. DJ Enuff was having his birthday party there, and they combined the two parties. It was early in the evening so all the big industry people showed up before the party started poppin and they were able to hear me spin. Opening up for the DJ Enuff party, i didn't have to stick to the basic format of selections. I went crate digging,playing what i liked as an opening DJ. People would ask who is that DJ? After that gig, i did the D'Angelo album release party later that year. D'Angelo had a special V.I.P. room where people could be more intimate. So D'Angelo asked me to play stuff that he was more influenced by instead of the underground/new neo soul coming out at that time. My next success would be when i got my own night at Joe's Pub in New York. Thank goodness they let me do my thing at that club. Playing what i wanted to play like underground stuff, old soul ,new soul and classics was my flavor. Things that influenced me personally, i had to put it out there..good music. Fortunately it became a hit at the club. It was probably the best night in the history of Joe's Pub.

TB: Do you still stick to that format now?

BB: No, because when you become a bigger DJ you have to be more commercial. I do my own parties at a place called The Guest House and it has to be more commercial. Another show i did was an art show in South Africa. The people that hired me knew i played world beat music. Maaan..i wrecked that party so hard they thought i was from Cape Town..I LOOOOOVE MUSIC!!! DJ Enuff told me i reminded him of why he became a DJ in the first place. I think DJ's became who they were because of the music...

TB:  Being a female DJ,  what obstacles have you overcome?

BB:  I think being as a female DJ i don't think of obstacles... When i think of obstacles its something i need to learn in life. Club promoters may not hire me for certain things but it opens up opportunities for something that's bigger and better. In a male dominated industry there may be some sexism or guys hitting on me or what have you. Some try to get you to do things that i'm not interested in and they don't wanna hire or help you. The element of surprise is the best thing as a female DJ, they don't expect you to be that good. With that element of surprise, it works in my favor ( ladies take note) 

TB: What are some of the TV shows you've appeared on? 

BB: Ummm BET, Rap City, 106 & Park,Vibe Magazine etc..i've been on MTV a bunch of times..

One more question i am saving for March.. We go on talking about music, life, etc.. It was like me and Beverly knew each other all of our life..Real down to earth sista and a joy to talk with..

Trevor Banks (being interviewed by followers)

By Rochanda12 From #JMBC

R12: How's radio compared to when you first started?

TB: Radio is easier, especially with the digital age. I can multi task like a mother does with 10 children. Plus coffee helps..It's my Limitless pill. It helps me think clearly and move 20 steps ahead of the rest.

R12: What's the worst part of radio?

TB: The worst part of radio when i was a DJ at a college was the FCC and how they control what is played or said on public radio. It is still that sadist good ol boy mentality. The FCC had a conference and the lead speaker was the VP of the United States (you do the math). I'm not saying i hate the FCC, but vetting and screening needs to be in place instead of lobbying and superficial pocket lining.

R12: What's the best part of radio?

TB: Hands down .. the fans , promotional items, and exclusives i can play for the listeners.
My listeners get to hear what is new and unheard. I'm the type of person who need the new newbulus music, tends, fashion etc.. I can also manipulate (in a good way) how the listener hears and feels the music. If you can help the listener hear the production, the creativity, the flow etc.. Then you have created more than a listener of music, you've created a student to the art and hopefully a master to the craft.

Irene: Besides a radio DJ, what else do you want to get into?

TB: This is the question i admire the most..For people who don't know , i am a Chef, bartender, recording artist, producer, songwriter, Red Cross volunteer , Talk Show Host (Third Shift Zombies)
part of Born This Way Foundation, Clinton Foundation member etc.. having many skills has helped me do things in variety. Doing one skill over and over again can lead to burn out or even financial trouble. Inet 6 is a corporation, it is a branch of my record label FLY RECORDS (my licensed company name). Our corporation is creating programs like:

1. S.E.T.H. (Scientific Exploration To Humanity program)
2. 4Cogs - A vetting and pre crime system that can monitor every living thing on and inside the Earth
3. WaveLinkCom- A new communications system that goes beyond the internet..
4. UEOE-1 This is a bot we have created (It was the first bot to broadcast a radio show in the Cloud) It is currently working on a new cashless banking system that will be fair and equal to all.. Trevor Banks will become a part of UEOE-1 by inserting nanites in my body. I have already started the incision on my upper left arm. This is a transhumanism transformation to mix man and machine.. Picking up where Tesla left off
6. New Human Mastery- This mastery is a form of technologic, economic, ecologic self growth for the individual. We want to turn the industrial prison centers around the globe into New Human Mastery/Reeducation centers. It will help in physical, mental, and spiritual growth and education. It will also show you where you best fit in your own living environment (cities, nature, frontier, tribal, nomadic etc...) It is the newest step of evolution for mankind..

ARE TECHIES REALLY ABOUT TECH?........

  Ask this question " Are techies really about tech?"... How about Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, Jack Dorsey etc. are they about tech? The answer is a big fat NOOOOO!!! They may create gizmos and gadgets (I've seen better gadgets at Epcot) but they act like industrialists. Industrialists rely on the general population for acceptance and cut deals with the government. They use Hegelian dialect and talk about Orwellian ( 1984) tactics like Universal Basic Income, controlling speech, regulating food portions etc. Still using that Old World good ol boy secret society illuminated rules of keeping civilians fat, dumb, lazy, and happy.
  I won't mention any CEO's names..but Bitcoin and Facebook screwed up by dealing with the FEDS. Bitcoin got in trouble dealing with low level street criminals and Facebook having a lawsuit against them by two twins. This is all industrial age nincompoopery. None of these folks came out with a product or an idea that uses the motto "Less is more". Meaning, you don't approval of consumers in large numbers or cut deals with the government. High-tech is meant to be used by less people. It separates the sheep from the goats ( aka haves and have nots ). Tech evolves mankind in a Darwinian type of natural order. Those who can't adapt or keep up get left behind. Kind of like the weaklings of the herd that get eaten. That's why we have natural selection as a species. Tech enhances that natural selection....
