Contrary to what most of you may have been thinking when you clicked the link, no this isn’t a post about a new gadget I think is ill, or the best new mic on the market. This a bout Casfly’s new video titled “Microphone Controller”. I recently got the opportunity to speak to him personally about the video and its inspirations. Check the method below.
“The song Microphone Controller is the first single off my new mixtape the Hollernation EP coming mid October. It’s kind of interesting because it was a shelved song. I wrote the song last year (2009) a little after I found out about the producer that made it, Jasmonster. I wrote the song like almost immediately after hearing it, but at the time I thought it was too big of a song to release right away. I felt like I didn’t have a big enough fan base to release that song. When I was looking for bangers for this Hollernation EP, I remembered the song I had written months ago and from there I recorded it and shot a video. The concept of the video is pretty simple. It focuses on the role an individuals ambition can take on other aspects of his life, a concept that is a little to real in my actual life (lol). I’m also a huge supporter of Old English 40’s that was another inspiration.”
