'HUSTLE HARD" TEAM ARSON REMIX FEAT. DREBABES, JAE POET, STREET SCOTT & BIG DRO

Who is Team Arson? what is the history behind the name, how & when did you guys become a team/group ? Where are you guys from?

• BIG DRO: WELL "TEAM ARSON MUSIC GROUP" CONSIST OF A HOST OF ARTIST, PRODUCERS, PHOTOGRAPHERS, AND ENGINEERS, ETC.. TEAM ARSON MUSIC GROUP ALSO KNOWN AS T.A. GANG OR T.A.G. WAS ESTABLISHED IN BALTIMORE, MD BY STREET SCOTT AND I BACK IN 2002. HE HAD THE IDEA OF THE GROUP NAME..AND WE JUST PROGRESSED FROM THERE. WE'VE BEEN THROUGH SEVERAL ARTIST OVER THE YEARS. WE KINDA BROKE IT UP INTO GENERATIONS..THE ORIGINAL MEMBERS WHICH IS THE FIRST GENERATION IS STREET SCOTT (ARTIST/PRODUCER), JASE(ARTIST), PENDRAGON(ARTIST/PRODUCER) AND MYSELF (BIG DRO). AFTER ABOUT FOUR YEARS STRONG, WE ADDED MORE ARTIST SUCH AS JAE POET, NOVA STARZ, ASE' & PHARAOH ZE' (RSUNAL), OLLIE V.O.S.O. AND MARK SHOTTA (PRODUCER). ASE' AND PHARAOH ZE' WERE PULLED IN WITH T.A. BUT STILL REPRESENTING THEIR OWN BRAND CALLED R.S.U.N.A.L. (Real Stand Up Niggas At Large). SO YOU HAVE TEAM ARSON, AND RSUNAL..IT ALL MAKES SENSE..LOL, YA DIGG? WITHIN THE LAST THREE OR FOUR YEARS WE'VE ADDED ANOTHER GENERATION TO TEAM ARSON. ALONG WITH THE OTHER MEMBERS WE HAVE DJ CRAIGO GETTEMS, TEKNO BEATS (PRODUCER), DREBABES, AND BINK. AND JUST LIKE MOST MAJOR LABELS, WE HAVE A TEAM ARSON SOUTH!! YEA I SAID IT...LOL. "CHANNEL Q" IS A NORTH CAROLINA NATIVE, WHO NOW LIVE IN ATL. HE HAS BEEN WITH TEAM ARSON SINCE 2003. AND EVEN LONG DISTANCE HE PLAYS HIS PART IN THE TEAM. WE'VE JUST RECENTLY ACCEPTED THREE NEW MEMBERS...DRE STOLAH (PRODUCER/ENGINEER), ROB SEVEN (PRODUECER/ARTIST) AND JEDI JEFF(PRODUCER) AND ACTUALLY IN A FREESTYLE WE DID CALLED "4 ALL" FEAT. CHANNEL Q, ASE', PENDRAGON, OLLIE VOSO AND MYSELF...I SAID "THO MY TEAM DISSIPATED WE ALL STILL PARTICIPATING/ REAL SITUATED STILL THE GREATEST NEVER OUTDATED.." MEANING ALTHOUGH WE ALL ARE MOVING IN DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS AS SOLO ARTIST, WE ALL STILL PLAY OUR ROLE IN TEAM ARSON!!!

Where were you guys at when you performed this song( name of venue, event, & location)?

• JASE: We were at "CLUB REALITY" A popular venue in Baltimore for local artist...DOPE SPOT!!

"Hustle Hard" is a anthem song that people state to state can't get enough, including myself lol : what does "Hustle Hard" mean to you guys & why did you all agree to collab on doing this freestlye ?

• DJ CRAIGO GETTEMS: TO ME IT MEANS JUST STICKING TO YOUR GRIND, STICKING TO YOUR MOTIVE AND STAYING FOCUS.



• DREBABES: Hustle hard mean do what's needed to advance in society, from working to taking care of your family and responsibilities, the reason for the collabo, is because we all are young men will works, take care of our families, and dedicated to our craft, with the mentality of becoming successful is this very competitive industry, with ups to pit falls, we all still help one another to advance, that's the reason for the collab with fellow artist/brothers



• BIG DRO: To me the word "hustle" doesn't always mean you have to be selling drugs or doing something illegal..It's about having that ambition, that drive to get where you need to be by any means..



• JAE POET: A non-stop grind of any form or fashion..As a time I think we just wing alot of things and it seems to work out.

What was the energy like on stage ? Reaction from the crowd?

• DJ CRAIGO GETTEMS: It was Live and full of energy..They were vibing with us..



• DREBABES: The energy on the stage can't be describe, it just was crazy, the crowd felt it also, participating, in the hook, to each artist verse, it was just crazy that night

How would you describe the feeling of performing live in front of an audience (such as the one in the footage)?

• STREET SCOTT: As a guy that performed at least!!! 3 shows a month I can tell you that I love the stage! I love it even more when my team is beside me. The energy that we give off to each other can't be compared to anything. I really like rocking with the smaller clubs (like the one in the vid) because you can be more intimate with the people. You get to talk to a smaller crowed and it will feel a little more personal! That stage is where it's at!! ( the magic, that is) T.A.G FOR LIFE!!!



• DREBABES: The feeling is to give off the feeling and emotion of the words I deliver to the people to receive, the connection I enjoy, because the audience gets more personal with me. They see what I say, along with depicting my character and the type of person I am and represent

What was the impression Team Arson wanted to leave on the audience after performing this?

• DREBABES: We are here, and here to succeed



• BIG DRO: Well those who know T.A.G. they know that we've been hustling hard and putting work for years..that track was just a great example to let the city know we still at it..POW!!

As a team breaking into the music business, what are some obstacles do you guys face?

* is it easier to work as a team/ group opposose to working solo?

• DREBABES: The only obstacle, maybe is to keep everyone focus and on track and not side track, because of critics, personal, or any type of distress, just consistently keeping contact, everyone is working perfecting their craft and gaining more fans, supporters, and followers daily



• BIG DRO: Yes it is easier working as a team. But at the same time it's so many of us. It's hard to get us all in one studio at the same time. Unless it's like a big event coming..or we're performing. So alot of us get together based on our schedules and record. And you know the internet just make things even easier. We're all working on different projects so it's easier for us to email our verses. But for our more original tracks we like to be together in the same studio..And some just come thru for support & creative input even if they're not on the track. For this "Hustle Hard" track, we wasn't in the same studio.

What are some future projects Team Arson is working towards? Any future performances coming up (as a group) ?

• DJ CRAIGO GETTEMS: I'M DJ/HOSTING THE WATCHER MIXTAPE (BY BIG DRO), ON TO SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL (BY STREET SCOTT), DIG IT OR GET BURIED 2 (BY JAE POET), AND THE WAITING ROOM (BY JASE)



• DREBABES: We plan to continue to advance in any endeavor the lord bless us with,I advise upcoming artist, to stay true to themselves, don't let what you see working, change the direction of your music, it takes time, patience is the key



• BIG DRO: LOL...CraiGo just answered for everybody...pretty much! I guess the next step is to try to take over the world..lol "The Watcher" mixtape Coming Soon!!



• JAE POET: Well, right now I'm songwriting for a few people in and out the industry as well as working on 2 projects "Freefaller" mixtape and "Dig It or Get Buried 2".
