Really dope look into The Airplane Boys – their mental and their overall movement – done by Lauren Festa over at ThinkContra.com(whatup Trung!)
The Airplane Boys have landed.
For the Airplane Boys, everything is music. Every movement, every situation, every experience. Our sit down for CONTRA was no exception. Every sentence was beautifully phrased, as if they had been given the questions prior. Everything expressed was peppered with metaphorical meaning. There are so many layers to this duo, and you willingly let them wrap you up. One of the most enjoyable interviews to date. Being around Mannie and J, you want to make yourself a better person. They pull out of you, a feeling that anything is possible, if you set your goals high enough, and reach, reach, reach, no matter what. Feeling it would be a shame to edit too much, here’s the pre-production mix of our conversation.
Welcome to the elixir, that is, THE AIRPLANE BOYS.
“Some people dream about success, while others wake up to reach it..”. – Sleep
Based out of Toronto, Mannie Serranilla [Beck Motley] and Jason Drakes [Bon Voyage] are the enigmatic duo behind The Airplane Boys. They just might be children of the revolution, in planting the seeds of a new sound that challenges the barriers of modern music. If hip hop was stagnate for a minute, it’s about to be revived by young, forward thinking talents like Mannie and J. Putting out their sound means revealing something fresh, creating a smooth and steady ripple. When you hear it, you think, maybe it’s electro-hip-hop-rock. And that’s just fine with them. The Airplane Boys don’t want to be labeled as just one kind of music for one kind of person. That’s because they take something from everything, and work it into their perpetually evolving sound. Captivating synths, experimental drums, varying samples. Whether its a 32 bar or a 16th, it’s got to have meaning.
And in 2011.. if you’re an artist and have an identical twin.. it isn’t just about brotherly love.. it’s a pretty cost effective visual effect too, lol.

Via TRF! Dope look into the mind of a hip-hop producer!
T.O. producer MoSS, who has produced for the likes of Ghostface Killah, Raekwon, Obie Trice, & Black Moon talks about his vinyl addiction, sampling from records vs. mp3s, owning his own re-issue label, and more. He also goes on to explain the controversy behind him not receiving proper credit for producing Raekwon’s “Have Mercy”.
Since RapCity is only a one-hour show, MuchMusic could only show you some of T-RexXx’s exclusive interview with Drake. But, now, MuchMusic and RapCity give you the full 5:00 a.m. sit down between T-RexXx and Drake (with 40 in the back), in its entirety. Watch the raw interview footage right here on ATF.
