On this episode of Insomniac Magazine’s “Sounds From The Underground” podcast, Hip Hop vet Mr. P Chill shares in-depth insight into booking shows and tours as an independent artist. The Sacramento, CA emcee and producer has been creating his own brand of classic era Hip Hop for over 20 years. He’s toured the United States many times over and typically stays on the road performing for nearly ten months out of the year. Currently on his 14th album, over the years, Chill has recorded with golden era artists in the genre, including Spyder D, Percee P, The Great Peso of the Fearless Four, and others. Additionally, his music has been played on the radio nationally, including on Chuck D’s “Songs That Mean Something” radio show.
As Chill was about to embark on his “Spaces and Places” tour, he took time to provide some deep knowledge from his many years of securing shows as an independent Hip Hop artist. He also shares his picks for quality Hip Hop classics to dig into. -Interview by Israel Vasquetelle
