ParlĂ© Magazine:  Talk about your newest single “Snap Back” ?
Mic Blaque: I really just used the name to draw people in. Like the whole thing with Snap Back’s coming back and everything. The inspiration was seeing young black youth walking around looking so angry , looking like they were ready to kill each other. It’s just a song just to say to them relax and just live life. Life is beautiful and we should take time to enjoy it. A song just to make people feel good.

Parlé Magazine:  How important is your upbringing on your music/influence?
Mic Blaque:  As an engineer I came across a bunch of people from Brooklyn and I never really understood why People would always rep where their from so much. It wasn’t until I sat back and researched and finally understood how important it is to be an MC from New York. Also listening to other musicians like Nas seeing how he showed the aura of where he’s from, just made me appreciate where I’m from.

Parlé Magazine:  What makes you unique?
Mic Blaque: I would say my passion, everybody else is playing with the music. Even some of the artist in the game are playing with the music. We are blessed with talent, we can create peace and we can create war. I’m hungry, so most definitely my passion.

Parlé Magazine:  What do you want people to remember you for?
Mic Blaque:  Good question, I want people to remember me as that guy that had a vision in a place that was blind. I want to touch everybody, I want people to hear me.
 

Parlé Magazine:  Are there any other things you want to jump into?
Mic Blaque: I like fashion, I like how everyone is being an entrepreneur, putting cool designs on shirts. So that’s something I’m thinking about possibly coming at with a t-shirt line.

Parlé Magazine:  Thank you for your time, Good luck with everything.
Mic Blaque: Thank you, No problem, God Bless.
