FSD: Cause I mean, you just turned 19, you’re a young dude. You got people around you mentoring you, or you just figuring it out on your own?
IshDarr: I do got some older heads that I listen to, so I take their advice and try and put that into my music. So I mean, on that stand point, I listen to my older heads my OGs when they’re talking to me, but kinda like planning these drops is what I’m feeling and what me and Mag are thinking. My other manager Amanda too, we just been planning and plotting. They make sure we’re not rushing nothing, not taking anything too slow.
FSD: How do you know Mag?
IshDarr: Through school, Mag was actually in the group we started my freshman year. He was the one of the ones, the one who kinda like Jed, picked out the best artists. He was the one that was like, “We can make something happen type of shit.” We been going since then. Its been five years plus of Mag, he’s most definitely fam to me.
FSD: You know how it’s poppin’ musically right now in Chicago, but how do you see that scene in Milwaukee? You got artists like you, and like Webster X reppin Milwaukee, do you see that growing anytime soon?
IshDarr: Hell yeah, I see that growing everyday. Its growing everyday. And that shit exciting, I been seeing so many young, different Milwaukee artists on so many blogs. And to us, it’s like woah dog, we got the eye on us right now. We gotta keep up that hot shit, and just the first thing we always gonna mention is Chicago, we love everything about how they all band together as artists. A lot of them, they all link up somehow. We think that’s what we gotta do, we most definitely want more so we can plan this out. Everybody here is like, “Let’s keep working. Keep hitting these bars on shit, finally start collaborating or doing some shit together”. A little bigger type shit. Its fun. We tryna get that Milwaukee sound going like “Oh this dude’s from Milwaukee” and another one is like “This dude’s from Milwaukee.”
FSD: Where do you see your next project taking you?
IshDarr: Man. This project [Old Soul, Young Spirit] took me to fucking Europe, so I couldn’t imagine where this next project gonna take me. Some step four shit. I plan on that shit being fucking IT, that project is gonna really sound like and album. I been dropping some quality music shit, but this next one is gonna be IT. Wait til’ I’m gonna drop a bomb on the net next year, we got dates set up for some stuff. That’s all we’ve been working on lately, some tracks recorded, taking a few trips to work with some producers. And just working on some next level shit. Hopefully that shit takes to fucking… man… man I don’t know. Anywhere I wanna go. It’s gonna take me everywhere. That’s where its taking me, everywhere.
FSD: You got a name for it yet?
IshDarr: No name for it yet, yeah no name. That’s actually the hardest thing to come up with for me, a name. But its like, I’ve been on the move so much lately, I haven’t had the time to think about it, I just been focusing on writing songs and stuff. Letting the name come through I been writing, rapping what I been seeing type shit. That’s coming most definitely. Next year, early next year.
FSD: Anything else you wanna add?
IshDarr: I just want people to know. Milwaukee, Wisconsin shit. Here we come. This shit is fun, we all doing this for fun. Enjoy my music, I hope every be catching the vibes from it like how I be catching it when I make it. I just appreciate everybody fucking with ya boy, for real.
