Y’all might be sick of all these dance records from the South, but don’t throw up until you hear Statehouse Records’ young hit maker J.Q. His single “Crank Dat Roy” has become a powerhouse on both Myspace and YouTube. You’ve got some records and dances that I’m betting are gonna pop off. Either you’re creative as hell or you’ve got too much time on your hands. How do you come up with those joints I’m just creative as hell. It’s just a process I follow when it comes to making records. Every artist has got his or her own method. I like feel-good music, so that’s what I make. I got dance records; I got street records; I got sex records; it just so happened to be the dance record that popped off big time for me after promoting it heavy. “The Elroy” has been bubbling in the streets of Orangeburg for a minute. Where did that dance originate from Someone told me y’all got it from a crackhead named Elroy. The dance is something a few people where doing in O-Burg by Elroy. What I did was come along and make a track about it and freak the dance. Everybody needs to go to YouTube and type in “Crank Dat Roy” and see the views. I’ve got 400,000+ views. You can post a comment while you’re at it. A lot of people are gonna come at you and say the music you make is not Hip Hop. How are you gonna handle that when people say that to you I do what I do for my fans. You can’t win everybody, and I’m not trying to. One thing I learned is you can’t take what critics say too seriously or you gonna end up at the doctor’s office getting pills for a bunch of migraine headaches. Are you getting any groupie love off of the success of “The Elroy” (laughs) I’m nowhere close to what you getting. I’m tryin’ to catch up though. What’s your situation with State House Records I’m signed to State House Records. Shout out to Mo – The People’s CEO. But I got other responsibilities that deal with the label. I’m personally invested in it so I know everything that’s going own. I’m in the business of making money. I hear y’all have been getting approached by a lot of labels trying to sign you. Who are the labels that have been trying to sign you for pennies and sell your publishing for millions And what do you expect from a major label Some labels approached us already. We’re just tryna get in a situation where both parties benefit. The right situation will present itself soon. You need to sign with Stupid Dope Moves, Inc. If you’re gonna get raped, at least get raped by people you know. (laughs) When you find good people who are willing to do anything for you before the money, you keep ‘em. It’s like Lil Wayne and Baby; it’s all about loyalty at the end of the day. Money comes and goes but real people are hard to come across. I’m happy with my situation. Naw I’m just fucking with you, but I really like what you dudes are doing; that’s why “The Elroy” is the first single off of South Crack The Album. I’m expecting some real major moves from y’all. Tell the people where State House is going. Stupid Dope Moves has been making moves in South Carolina for a minute and we all respect the work you put in, Charlamagne. The album is gonna be a success. In the mean time, everybody can pick up my mixtape/album Brand New in stores and online. You can check www.myspace.com/ shrmuzic or www.myspace.com/jqmuzic for more info. I just wanna thank every person that plays the record at home, school, iPod and everything. I also want to thank all the DJs that play my music. I will keep delivering hot music for you; just keep supporting your boy. South Carolina I got you for life.
