general ?
MANSIN : The only problem I have is that some people are just
listening to one sound of music and that's not fair. The reason
being is that rappers come from all across the United States
from different backgrounds, up bringing's, nationalities,
neighborhood's, and many more....... So we have something
different to learn from so many different extraordinary people.

that's one of the disadvantage's.

MANSIN : The support system out here is weak we have no real
movement out here.

IG: What needs to change ?
MANSIN : More local rappers need to come together to blow up
Colorado.

IG : What do you think Colorado artists need to do to better
themselves ?

on each other that's the problem right there. If everybody is
hatin on everybody then how will we ever establish ourselves
in Hip Hop.

MANSIN : Pros/ Creative freedom. Cons/ Having to do
everything yourself.

IG : What gives you the inspiration or motivation to write ?
MANSIN : I love to rap it makes me feel good inside. Rappers in
the game that I feel are very talented give me inspiration to
write. All I do is listen to all the top rappers songs and try to
come up with something lyrically better. That's what pushes me
when I hear tight shit from other rappers I try to do better than
what they achieved.

IG : What do you think we as in Black People need to do in order
to better ourselves ?
MANSIN : Embrace God as your savoir. Once you do that then
there will be no hatred or evil in one's heart therefore making
your family stronger to deal with what this world throws at you.
Black men wouldn't be out here killing up each other or
committing crimes against people therefore again making better
and safer communities.

IG : So, for those not too familiar with you, who is Murder
Mansin ?
MANSIN : Created in Killeen, TX raised in D-Town/Denver,Co
from the age of 3. I started entering in talent shows by my
MOMS and AUNT using break dancin as da talent.So you know I
was destin for stardom from the gates!! I started rappin lyrics
back and forth with my little bro when I was in middle school as
a hobbie to memorize lyrics. Attending High School at George
Washington in the 9th grade was when I realized my callin in life
was to be a Rapper. I Had a cousin that was the same age as me
and he rapped also. The two of us started having rap battles
with the homies in High School. My cousin Halvin came up with
the Murder name because I was into the killer style of rappin
like Brother Lynch Hung. The Mansin aspect I came up with
which was by the Infamous Charles Manson but I wanted it to be
original as Man Sins so Mansin comes natural just like Charles
therefore we came up with Murder Mansin. I grew up listening
to various rap artist such as Brotha Lynch Hung, E-40, X-Raided,
Ice Cube, LL Cool J, Scarface, N.W.A., 2 Live Crew and Slick Rick.

Two years after I was suppose to graduate from High School I
got my G.E.D and decided to start my own independent Record
Company called "Twissted Records". I hit the streets with my
first single titled "Murderous" in 2000 which started a local buzz
in Denver, Co. I continued and dropped my first solo cd titled
"Psychoanalysis" in 2001, and then in 2002 with a cd titled "And
There Was Murder". In 2004 I released my second cd titled "200
Dead People" and I produced various artist under my Record
Label. In 2004 I went to Texas,St Louis, and Chicago to promote
my music. I released my third cd titled "OCTOPUS" which
dropped in August of 2005. Also that year I went back out of
town to promote my cd in Texas and Atlanta. My fourth cd titled
"UNDERRATED" dropped summer of 2007,that year I attended
the Texas Summer Music Conference in Dallas,TX to network
with other rap artist across the United States. During the years
2004-2007 I dropped four mixtapes titled "Jackin 4 Beats". I have
performed at numerous Clubs and Nightspots throughout
Colorado since the year 2000.


IG : Do You have a certain type of swagger about you ?
MANSIN : Not really I'm just Me and I do just that Me. I be myself I
dont put on shows or an act. So My swag is ME.

IG : If you ruled the world, what would be different about it ?
MANSIN : I would rule it as God would rule it. So you would see
totally different world than the one we live in.

IG : Is there any advice you would like to give teens in risk of
being locked up ?
MANSIN : Do something better with your life you only get 1 life 2
live so why waste it sitting behind bars rotting awaaaaaaay.
There's so much in life to learn about why sit in prison learning
it from a jail cell.

IG : Do you think you will ever lose your passion for rapping ?
MANSIN : I'll never lose my passion to rap it's a gift that I have.
But if my passion cant pay the bills I have to do something else
that will. But the passion would always still be there.

IG : As far as the history of Hip-Hop, how important is it for
you to know your history of Hip-Hop ?
MANSIN : It's very important how do you commit yourself to
something and know nothing about the history of where it came
from, how it started and the pioneers that came before you
whom paved the way for you.

IG : Last but not least, are there any shoutouts you want to give
or things you would like to say to your fans ?
