One-on-One With Hollywood’s Finest!

Bringing that fire, that straight heat, JW, WoodBoi, and KP talk about their come-up in the game, the obstacles they face and their plan to TAKE OVER THE 954. Spitting serious flows over hot beats is nothing for these boys. It’s everyday for them. Managed by KP who is plotting a major movement in Broward county is not going to let anything or anyone stand in their way. With major moves being planned, WoodBoi and JW look to have pretty busy schedules. Coming from the streets of Hollywood Fla., WoodBoi and JW maybe what the music game has been waiting for!

Nine5Four: Thank you guys for dropping in and allowing Nine5Four to interview you. I really appreciate it...

KP: no problem

WoodBoi: Na we appreciate it thanks for interviewing us


Nine5Four
: I appreciate it... So I had a chance to preview your music... Some pretty good stuff... How did you guys get involved in music to begin with???

WoodBoi: people said I was good at it

WoodBoi: so I kept doing it

JW KNIGHT: I just always had a passion for music

WoodBoi: and I always reflect back to the hood


Nine5Four
: Ok... So why rap music??

WoodBoi: I grew around that

KP: it’s something that we are familiar with, grew up around, and could relate to


Nine5Four
: I can feel that... So how did you all meet?

KP: well JW and WoodBoi met through MySpace

WoodBoi: ya

KP: and KP met WoodBoi through a homie, I linked up with WoodBoi because he was helping me promote parties


Nine5Four
: MySpace... That’s what’s up... So what made you guys decide to work together on projects???

JW KNIGHT: We got good chemistry and we THE BEST IN BROWARD COUNTY

WoodBoi: got it right

KP: damn rite

KP: and we also our work ethic is similar


Nine5Four
: WOW... Lol... That’s a big title to bear... The Best in Broward... Have you guys heard the other rappers in Broward??

KP: we get things done w/ no B.S. plus we look out for each other


Nine5Four
: Yea work ethic is always a good deciding factor...

954??? I mean you have some major players in this area like Vickey, Perk, Absoloot, etc...

JW KNIGHT: I never heard of none of them.... but lyrically we on a whole different level and we trying to create a movement for Broward County

KP: Exactly

WoodBoi: Yup we hood music


Nine5Four
: Ok... So I guess it is safe to say that you or we are all on the same level... Trying to show everyone what Broward County is all about...

WoodBoi: You a 100 percent on that 1

KP: But we different from the rest of 954 in how we market ourselves and perform at shows


Nine5Four
: Really... So what is the difference between your marketing and everyone else’s??

KP: Ok let me tell u

KP: we don’t use people and kick them to the curb to get ahead, we work with a lot of people, show them love and have the mentality that if we work together we can get paid......

KP: we have mixtapes of course

WoodBoi: and our marketing its not only in Broward it’s throughout the whole Florida


Nine5Four
: That’s the way good business people work so I can feel you on that...

KP: but we try to do individual hit singles instead of whole albums

JW KNIGHT: I agree hard work equals success and we really work hard by networking and working as a team

KP: its quality over quantity!


Nine5Four
: Who would you say are your biggest influences in the rap game and why???

Nine5Four: Lol... I feel you playa... I will edit that for you...

KP: thanks

JW KNIGHT: I like a lot... of artist but my favorite is Ludacris because of his creativity, originally, and versatility

WoodBoi: Our selves, Trick Daddy, Rick Ross, Young Jeezy, TI, etc they represent the hood

KP: for me as a manager "business wise" Master P and P Diddy, but as a rapper Jay Z and Tego Calderon


Nine5Four
: Oh so you rap too KP??

KP: yes English and Spanish


Nine5Four
: That’s what’s up... So you guys get to bring a unique feel to the game I like that...

KP: I do both


Nine5Four
: So what is the next big step for you guys individually, as a movement, and as a company??

WoodBoi: not really because he’s just managing right now

KP: manage 2, but right now rapping is on hold 4 me till I get my money up and gain more experience in life

KP: well the next big step is....

KP: move as individual rappers like what swishahouse did w/ Slim Thug, M Jones, and Paul Wall

WoodBoi: Well our album coming out call Broward movement

KP: they were all a company, but got promoted individually

KP: of course the album is a joint effort

JW KNIGHT: As a movement WoodBoi and I working on a Broward Movement Album and Solo I will be doing mixtape and working on my own projects doing it big for Fort Lauderdale
