Ignoring trends, rising above labels, and blooming beyond "mainstream" or "underground" classifications, Black ELement has created his own brand of noise that is ready to be embedded into the souls of hip hop lovers everywhere.

Goldenways:   What was the first most influential verse you heard?


Black Element
:   I dunno about most influential, but I can remember the exact verse that made me want to get into music and it was Andre 3000 on "Synthesizer". That verse was absolutely bananas to me, I think it was somewhere in the middle of that verse that I knew I wanted to get into music, how he spit about how technology is used as a crutch and how addicted we are to our current way of life.



Goldenways:
   Why did it hit you so hard?



Black Element: 
 
It just hit me so hard at the time, I just remember riding in the car with my CD player looking up and feeling like god was telling me something. It was truly one of those "Disney" moments you have in your life, everyone gets one. lol



Goldenways:
   I've read that you were a successful poet, do you feel like merging your poetic verses with hip hop sound was the next natural progression for you?



Black Element:
   At first it was challenging because I was a little too artsy for the normal person, and the last five years I have been perfecting the art of being clever without going over peoples heads, so I can go either way. Although sometimes I like to go over peoples heads, and making people think because there isn't enough of that in music right now. Thought provoking music is something that is so nonexistent right now its not even funny, there are still people out there who are making it but it seems as if most people enjoy being spoon fed. Yea I'll spoon feed you  a little bit, but you got to start using your damn fork with 95% of my material.



Goldenways:   Your working on your debut album, "A Major Minority".  What can you tell us about the album?


Black Element:
 
  The album is a concept, basically touches on a lot of the problems Black America faces while relating it to everyone. Whether rich or poor we all have problems, and success in one way or another. I chose the title "A Major Minority" due to the fact that this country is heavily influenced by African Americans in popular culture, but we get little credit for it. Our culture has influence in a lot of the most non-black areas in the U.S and as Paul Mooney said, "Everyone wanna be a nigga, but no one wanna be a nigger." I personally grew up around people of all races, creeds and religions and I believe they can all relate to A Major Minority, I have tracks that will make you cry, reflect, laugh, and get you to really think about your life.

Goldenways:   Is there a message you want your music to carry?

Black Element:  
My message is simple, "anything is possible, and there are no boundaries". I want a message of connection between all races, ethnicities and religions, not on some cumbaya shit but I feel as humans we all go through the same struggles and a lot of the same things make us laugh. I just want to get across to as many people as i can.



Goldenways:   It's not hard to feel the creative energy you put into your music, where do you draw your inspiration from?


Black Element:
   Everywhere, music is life for me. Whether I'm walking around the city, waking up, or taking a shit at anyone of those moments I could have a great idea for a track. I don't want to force creative thinking, because that defloures the whole purpose of creative thinking, I let it come to me naturally.



Goldenways:  
How would you describe your sound?

Black Element:
   Unpredictable.



Goldenways: 
  What is your view on Hip Hop today?


Black Element
:   Hip Hop today is suffering and thriving at the same time. Commercially its suffering (from a quality and sales sound point), but on the independent tip we have blogs which act as the new age mixtape DJs and keep every demographic informed on the lastest mp3s or albums/mixtapes. I think the independent route right now is beginning to thrive because to make it in that market you got to have some talent, people will leave a comment or two about you say what they really think. Shows are great too because you can get a bunch of your talented friends have a show, and you guys get to keep all the money for your damn self with no shady promoters. Hip Hop is getting back to what it used to be if you ask me, we're not there yet but people are starting to actually look for there music instead of being spoonfed whats on the radio and MTV.

Goldenways:   What are your goals for yourself and your music?


Black Element:
   Get as big as possible as fast as possible. ha Nah seriously my goal is simple, I want to make memorable non- disposable music for people and have them bumping my tracks 20 years from now.I Really don't want to be "here today gone tomorrow" I always have and will continue to strive for longevity.



Goldenways:    Ok, I'm cheating with this one.
  What is one question you wish an interviewer would ask you?

Black Element:
  
Whats your exit strategy for the current situation in Iraq or whats your favorite position in the karma sutra and why?



Goldenways:
   What does Hip Hop's Deepest Days mean to you?

Black Element: 
  Hmmmm... I dunno probably that we are deep in this game 30+ years and now we are one of the most if not THE most influential sub culture in America.

Kasha is an amazing Hip Hop artist from the UK.
His music is like a breath of the freshest air.

 Truth be told, Kasha's music is what inspired me to start this site.
 I am honored to be able to  present to you
"My Time With Kasha"
an interview with one of the best.



Goldenways:
      What was the first most influential line you heard, and why did it hit you so hard?


Kasha:     I would have to say the first influential line I heard was Nas.  From the album "It Was Written", track 2,"The Message".  In a line at the very end of the first verse,where he says "A thug changes, and love changes, and best friends become strangers".Word up. Definitely that.  Because at that time in my life i was kind of full of a lot of politics with friends, so called friends and snakes in the grass and so on and so forth.  So it really did hit me and connect with me on more than just one level.

Goldenways:     How did your career as an artist begin?


Kasha:      The estate i lived in, everyone in the estate was known for being an emcee at the time. We used to listen to people like Marley Marl and Precious and Two Ton, people like that.  We used to go to house parties and spit at house parties.  It was the vibe of the era.It was more to do with having a name on the road or chicks knowing your name or operators knowing your name for being a spitter, being an emcee. So it was kind of a big thing in my eyes, I was a member looking up to the elders that was doing the emceeing at the time.  We was admiring the fame in a way that they had.  The fact that everyone loved them and respected them for having the talent.It just seemed natural, a natural path for me to take, because music has always been a huge part of my life.So it all started from really just having fun with the kids and being in with the crowd.  Everyone was spittin' lyrics so im'a spit lyrics too.  It was very innocent at the time, i didn't realize i wanted to pursue it as a career, or anything deep.  It was just literally a lot of fun and it progressed from there.

 Goldenways:     What are you working on?


Kasha:
     At the moment the album is finished.  I decided to call the first album "The Essence". The reason I wanted to call it that is that I wanted to bring back what i remember of hip hop.  When I was a youngster, when I first latched on to it.  If you want to go as far back as Snoop Doggy Dog and the Dog pound, you can.  It's not quite that west coast sound but it goes back to that era at times.  Mostly stays in the 90s era the era of Big Pun, Biggie, Tupac, Nas, Common, even Mobb Deep and The Lox.  All those people that I saw was at their peek. Great albums were being released.  Classic albums were being released.  They had a certain voice, it was the voice of the young struggle.  Or the voice of the young poet looking to make something of himself, you know, and just be heard in the sense of he had things to say to his people and just wished that his message and words could be spread and not the voice of the person who just wishes to obtain great wealth.  I just wanted to take it right back to the beginning.  What I remember.  Where it started for me. So its not really a work in progress its already done.  But that's the next thing that people will be getting from  me.

Goldenways:     What do you hope the average listener takes from your music?


Kasha:     An understanding of me, an understanding of  the journey I've taken from life.  An understanding of the knowledge I've obtained.  And also a greater understanding of themselves and their life path and journey to discovering self worth and discovering self happiness and peace.  Also I hope that my music can be a place of refuge, a place of salvation, somewhere where a listener can go and actually be separate from the world for that moment, you know, they could take themselves to another place as it were. And  hopefully give the spirit the little bit of healing that it needs in times of desperation or times of deep pain, also make those times of happiness and sunshine seem that whole world better.  So all in all my hope for the listener of my music is just that they take inspiration.     Inspiration to live life to the full and to try to achieve a higher greatness in life.  That's the main message i hope they get.



 
Goldenways:     Your song "With You All The Way" (my favorite right now) is full of hard hitting intense lyrics.  Where did the inspiration for this song come from?


Kasha:     The inspiration for the song comes from the basic message of my music.  That there's aspects of life that are not right, there's aspects of the way groups of said people are living and carrying out their life.  You know its wrong, I know its wrong.  I'm not blind to those facts.  I feel as an artist i can only tell them it's wrong so many times.  I have to try and make them see it from other perspectives, from other view points.  Every person has a mother that they love and respect.  Not in all cases, don't get me wrong, I realize that some people do have family grievances and that particular relationship isn't always as it should be. But nevertheless we all have or had a mother.  I just wanted to make the point of having these situations seen from the view point of those that are losing and those that are suffering the loss of a loved one.  I really wanted to highlight the perspective and the pain that they have to go through.  A pain that was not caused by any actions of themselves, by any wrong doing on their behalf.  They are completely an innocent party within the whole situation.  But yet they come off the worst out of it.  So the inspiration comes from me wanting to highlight the view point of all people involved.  These situations where people do lose life.  All in all I just wanted to let it be known that in your little situations, when you're out beefing with each other, you've got to think of the big picture and the people that come away hurt, the people that come away worst off in these situations.  It's not always you two or you lot that's just involved, it's the people that love those that fall from these tragic incidents.  I just wanted to highlight that.

Goldenways:     What do you feel the state of Hip Hop in the Uk is right now?


Kasha:
     The state of hip hop in the UK right now is very very strong.  We have got some amazing speakers out there.  We've got some amazing people in general.  People with amazing insight into the lifestyle we lead, the troubles we face and the traps of the system, so on and so forth. There's so many strong characters we do hold. I think as a unit, as a family we're very strong together. We've got a real good sense of togetherness out here.  We're not out there stepping on each other. It's not that any more.  We're actually a community here now.  I feel the state of affairs out here is a case of the rebirth of hip hop.  If they're ever going to say that hip hop died, then they must say it was reborn.  And it was reborn in Europe.  This is how it all began.  The voice of the young people.  The voice of the young streets.  And all the people that really have something to say, that struggle, that see their worlds tears and just really want to speak out.  It's beautiful to see, it really is.  I find myself bangin' albums from different people all the time now.  I got a Logic album, got Balanzy, got Manic album "Straight From The Heart", I got Frantic Frank album, I have got phalanx, The Heresy that is Triple Darkness, those are the latest albums I've copped this year.  Classics, back dating as well but those are the latest ones i find myself bangin'. But I feel it's real strong out here. We've got a lot to offer to hip hop, to the world.  To the listener of hip hop, to those that actually want the realness, we've got a lot to offer. I feel it's a beautiful thing that's happening in England right now.

 
Goldenways:     How do you define 'quality hip hop' ?


 Kasha:     The definition of quality hip hop really can't be spoken or voiced.I can describe the feeling it would bring, but then again you may have a different opinion on it.  I feel the definition of real hip hop is that which relates to the listener.  So those that want to relate to the gangster image or whatever, to them that's real hip hop.  To those that want to relate to the positive image, to the positive speaker, to them that's real hip hop. those that want to relate to the 90s sound and the jazzy sound and the sample sound to them that's real hip hop.  To those that want to relate to the hard hittin', the party sound to them that's real hip hop.  So I feel that hip hop in general is a case of relations to listener.  In what ever sense they want to take it.  There's a lot of different dimensions in hip hop. I just feel that at the moment my love has stemmed a far cry from what it used to be, from what gave it that great name.  So i would call the 90's hip hop the illest of its' kind. Stemming over into maybe 2001, '02, '03, & '04.  Past 2005, '06, '07, and '08, not really getting the real essence. But then there's people that would argue and tell me that the real essence is of today.   Because music moves and music changes and becomes anew and forms new life every where it shall go, and it has to evolve.  There's people that would argue that point as well.  So again I come back to the point, I just feel that the definition of real hip hop is the relationship that it has with its' listener.



Goldenways:
     What does Hip Hop's Deepest Days mean to you?

Kasha:      There are certain people that are like my three fathers.  I've got three fathers in hip hop, which guided me, which helped me become a man.  So hip hop's deepest days to me are more or less like my childhood.  They're more or less like me being raised.  That's what they mean to me.  They raised me.  If i didn't have those voices talking to me at those times, then I would not have gotten through, I would not have seen the light.  So hip hop to me is my saviour.  It is my one true saviour, my guiding light, my first love, my first and only true love.  In all senses of the word it means the world to me.  That's what it means to me, the world to me.  I could never have become the man I have without being given the knowledge I was at the time I was given it through those voices. Hip hop's deepest days mean the world to me, it's my being raised by it.  It's my guidance.

"Scott Johnson is an emcee, a father, a poet, and a revolutionist.  His music is laced with emotion and raw strength."

 Back in 1992 Scott was hanging out with the wrong crew and doing the wrong things.  Because of poor choices he was  stabbed attacked and stabbed 6 times, the last stab leaving the 7 inch hunting knife embedded in his jaw bone.  Since miraculously surviving this horrific event Scott is constantly on a mission to open the eyes of those who could be in similar situations. His story is an inspiring one, to read the full story please download his testimony here. (Please be advised, there are graphic pictures of the crime scene included with the testimony.)  Feel free to copy and share his story with others. 

Goldenways:   What was the first most influential verse you heard?

Scott Johnson: 
  Sing it with me! "Criminal minded-You've been blinded / Looking for a style like mine? You cant find it!"

That is one of the earliest verses that has stuck with me damn near 20 years!

Honorable mentions?

"Rebel without a pause" , "Illegal business", "My Philosophy", "Jack the ripper", "Children's Story" , "Bring the noise" , "Paid in full".....But if I really go back to the beginning of my true love at the time , I would have to give KRS full props for first inspiring me to emcee.


Goldenways:
  Why did it hit you so hard?

 Scott Johnson:    My mother wrote a lot of poetry ,So that was really instilled in me from a very early age. So when I heard KRS speaking about how what he was doing was poetry , I identified and admired it.

I listened to alot of metal and what BDP and P.E. were bringing to the table was just as aggressive but over a different musical landscape...I remember laughing at my friend when he bought "Yo..Bum rush the show" , Then he put the tape in and I heard the sirens go off (Musically and literally) and I was hooked from that day on. They spoke aggressively, but there was a positive message of upliftment within the anger... and I was also drawn to that.

So P.E. became my new Favs. I remember I borrowed one dollar from ten different kids in 9th grade and right after school I went and Bought "Fear of a Black Planet". I even got the P.E. logo tatted on my arm a few years ago. (A valentines gift from my wife :) It is one of my dreams to do a record with Krs and Chuck.

Goldenways:    How did your career as an artist begin?

Scott Johnson:
   I know this is gonna sound wild , But I'll tell you anyway.

I was in West Virginia spending time with my grandmother. I had a dream ( Vision) I was in a studio with these two dudes making music. I woke up ,But it stuck with me. I found it odd cause I had never seen these guys before.

So like a year later I am back in Texas , working at the hospital in my town. I was a Floor Technician , But you lesser folk may have called me a Janitor :) , I met this lady who also works there and we start talking. She tells me her husband is a producer , I tell her I can rap. So she calls him and we set up a meeting. I took them this song I made called "Orgasmic Reality" on a cheap cassette.

All the while I am thinking "Where have I seen this dude at?" . He yells for his brother "Yo bruh , come listen to what this white boy made at the house!" . His brother walks in and BAM it hit me....That's right mystery hunters! It was the same two dudes from my dream....Chris and Pete Wiggins.

A short time later I returned to make my first ever "Professional" track entitled "Playaz Nightmare". A lovely tale of a man who meets a girl and takes her back to his place. While she is practicing her rodeo skills ,she pulls a gun on him. Turns out he was set up for using the woman's friend , Hence the name "Playaz Nightmare".

So I guess 1993/94 was when I first started to take things more serious and I have proudly evolved every year since and continue to do so.

Goldenways: 
  You recently released your debut album "Clutch", where did you pull your inspiration for the album?

Scott
Johnson:     It was around august of 07 and I felt like I hadn't really accomplished anything. I wasn't happy. I told my bro in Law "Chris" that I wanted to take my lyrics and performance to another level , I told him I wanted to just spit some hot lyrics and show a different side of my talent. Before "Clutch" I mainly wrote stories. I also battle-rapped on my website "The Madhouse" and a lot of my other material was based on being pissed off at the industry for not giving ME a chance but William Hung had a Fuggin record deal.

So I was forced to rethink how I did what I did. "Nothing wrong with the aim , Just gotta change the target" Jay-Z

Also being a huge NBA fan , I wanted to pull a Clutch of my own. By this time, it was around October and my goal was to have a complete album of quality music done in two months , before the new year. I really don't remember a whole lot about that time period-lol , Dealing with a newborn baby and two other sons (One of them a teen) , Housework , trying to balance it out to spend time with my wife and make this album all at the same time. It's a blur to me....I was recording 2 a days and mixing that night. Finding beats and writing and doing the whole process over the next day , Working back and forth with Low and Holly Cole over the web for their tracks ,Getting family members in to record their parts and the the singers and the poet....This went on past my original deadline. So it basically took me almost 4 months to complete this album. Still pretty Clutch IMO :)

My family is a huge inspiration to me. My wife Jessica has been down with me for many years ,we have 3 children together.

I want to be able to give them anything they want and need. I want them all to have a great life. The pressure to give them that is a driving force in my life.

I remember praying and telling GOD , "Your word says I am your son , So I am asking you Father for a piece of my inheritance , I am not asking for a hand-out , I will work for it". Since that day , My life has been extremely busy.

Don't ask GOD for it if your not prepared to handle it-lol.

Goldenways:   When listening to your music we hear blues, jazz, and other influences. You are able to take these influences and infuse them with your sound (which I have yet to be able to define), it's beautiful.How would you define your sound?

Scott Johnson:
     Hmmmm. I am a melting pot of music. My mother played Sam Cooke , Ottis , James Brown ,Elvis and listened to old Country. So I was raised on that. My grandmother listened to blue grass infused gospel. My uncles listened to Zeppelin ,Boston , Bad Company , etc...My Dad was heavy into Bob Seger and ZZ top , I also grew up in the 80's , so pop music and rock were there...As I got older I was turned on to Tejano and Latin Hip-Hop due to my friends being predominately Hispanic.I also jammed the hell out of Metallica .combine all of that with East coast Hip-Hop ,Followed by the West and Magic mike and some techno and some blues and later on, Jazz and you have a very eclectic concert in my head at all times.

I love MUSIC! I have never confined myself to one style of an art form. Plus I love instruments ,I love the double bass as much as I love the warmth of an 808 , I love the sampled saxophone as well as the sax on Sade records...Sometimes just one instrument will draw me to a song...There are some songs I like strictly for the Hi-Hats.

I cant really define who I am because there is so much in me. I cant say I am a Hip-Hop purist because I listen to other music.

I cant say I am a metal-head cause I can throw on some Dwight Yoakum and be content. There are great things and sounds and words and inspiration in all styles of music and I soak it all up. I wring out the bad and keep that good water , add some ice and drank it! That make sense? :)

I cant define myself either ,Maybe people after me or with the same background can be labeled "Big Johnsons" :)

Goldenways:   What do you hope the listener takes from your music?

Scott Johnson: 
  I hope and Pray the listeners of my music walk away feeling completely satisfied. I want them to have to have no complaints.

I want them to love the beats as well as the lyrics. I want them to be "Edutained". I work extremely hard to provide the best possible lyrics I can give to match the mood of the music. So whether it's a political ,humorous , Spiritual , battle ,braggadocio or love song... I deliver to you the best that's in me for that situation. I want my listeners to feel empowered. I want them on the roller coaster with me. I want them to know that they can be who God made them to be. And if I can touch a life through my microphone and actually change someones thought process for the better...That is a beautiful thing. Most importantly , I just want the listener to LISTEN and think about what I am speaking on and hopefully when all is said and done..They can say with confidence..."Scott Johnson is a Lyricist!"


Goldenways:   What are your thoughts on the state of Hip Hop today?

Scott Johnson:   CALL 911! :)

I KNOW that emcees are not recognized for originality ,creativity and the art of being a lyricist anymore.

Hip-Hop today rewards sameness. Which is great if you wanna hop on a vocoder and be like everyone else in the top 10. It totally sucks for people who wish to rhyme about various subject matter. Over the years the music has progressed (To a degree) and also the structure of the rhyme (To a degree) but the good quality original material is seldom heard by public ears.When I was coming up , It was a SIN to bite someones rhyme or jack their beat. Now , it is rewarded. 80% or more of what you hear on the radio is hot beats and garbage rhymes that completely fail to reach new heights. If I am wrong then show me... You have a few that get a lil love , But that is a few. I would say one of the main ones on commercial radio that sounds like he is taking some pride in his lyrics is Lil Wayne. He is not scared to do whatever the hell he feels like doing and I admire that.

I hear a lot of rappers rhyme the same word 5 times and that to me doesn't require skill. But at the same time , I like some of what the new cats are doing. "Lookin Boy" by Young Joc is clever ,it's original. Kanye brings original material. Like I said though , There are only a few that get love.Meanwhile ,below the surface there are thousands of great emcees that have something original ,creative and valid to say and because they have these qualities... radio will not air them. My heart bleeds for these people. It makes me angry that people are scared to say whats on their mind. You cant tell me that every one of these rappers only cares about rims, clothes and ho's. They have minds ,they have thoughts and feelings but they are scared to let them out because it will kill sales. SO , the state of hip-hop today isn't very good because the powers that be and the radio stations only serve meatloaf and let the steak sit under a heat lamp.

If all you feed people is dumbed down lyrics and force materialism on them ,What do they become?

Less than great rappers and music have always been around but it was once balanced. For every G on the street there was a dude with a level of consciousness. PE and BDP and PRT and Rakim ,etc...Used to be played alongside the more dance oriented , gangsta or commercial tracks....There was balance. These emcees fed the mind the others shook the behind.

But when you feed people knowledge and preach empowerment , That scares the American Government. So what happens to Urban radio? ALL KNOWLEDGE IS SHUT OUT. All you have now is materialism and sameness. Chuck D once compared hip-hop to CNN... It has now been reduced to TMZ........

I blame radio and artists fear of being themselves for any demise felt in Hip-Hop

Goldenways: 
  I have read that you have no desire to be signed to a major label, can you tell us about that?

Scott Johnson:      I have a desire for major promotion and distribution-lol , But the dream of being on a major has died for me.

The more I started learning about the business the more I was sickened by the power they hold over the artist.

I love being able to say what I want to say when I want to say it. I don't like the idea of some dude in a suit coming up to me and saying "Whoaaa, You cant call the president that! ,Change that line!". I don't like the fact that I can bust my ass to make a great album and have someone put it on a shelf. I don't like the fact that they give cats pennies on the dollar for their art.

I need to be me in order to give you the best of me. Which might explain why I am broke and driving a 94 Ford escort but I have a hot album-lol. But I refuse to dumb down. So now I try to give you catchy songs that allow me to keep my lyrical integrity...So if there is a label out there reading this and you have nuts to go against the grain..Holla at me.

Goldenways:   What are your plans for yourself?

Scott Johnson:    You ready? I plan on becoming a multi-Billionaire and changing the entire course of music history.

When the finances come I want to build apartment complexes for the homeless. I want to start a basketball league for gang members. I want to fight the radio for balanced play. I want to fight the electric companies for lower rates , so the elderly aint dying every year due to heat. I want to show people that we can accomplish more together than divided ,Despite race , sex, age ,religious beliefs and location. I will be a leader in this world. I plan on starting a band with Jack White , Travis Barker ,Flea and Just Blaze. I want to be a leader of the poor and the youth and cause revolution in music and the world. I want to avoid assassination for doing all I want to do. I want to start a gang called "The Lyricists" consisting of the best emcees from around the globe all unified for the upliftment of people and music. But before I do all of this ,I want to sell a few CD's so I can get my car inspected. :)
Goldenways:     What does Hip Hop's Deepest Days mean to you?

Scott Johnson:   As a website , The deepest days means there are some good people out there who care about good music and do their best to represent that. I also want to sincerely Thank Golden Ways and family for allowing me the opportunity to speak my mind and share my passion. God Bless!

As an artist , those days haven't happened yet , Because I am still not in the position I want to be in. When that happens....ISH WILL GET DEEP IN HIP-HOP!
