Transcript

Big Hookz: So, I had a concept, you know, to drop, like, three songs. So, I dropped those two just to create the awareness, and the last song - which we just dropped now through Universal Music Group - is called “No Love” featuring my homegirl here. Superstar from Atlanta, Georgia, you can introduce yourself. She’s a producer. She’s an engineer, and she’s a dope singer, artist, LexC.

Interviewer: Okay! So, let me just get a shot of your uh - So, she’s in your current project?

Big Hookz: Yeah! She’s in the song called “No Love.”

Interviewer: Okay! Introduce yourself.

LexC: Hey! My name is LexC. Singer. Songwriter and audio engineer based here in Atlanta.

Interviewer: Okay! [To Big Hookz] So, uh, what made you collaborate with this current artist here?

Big Hookz: What happened was I went to the studio where she works, and I was trying to record a song, like, a hook line for another song, which is out there. I just dropped it. So, she was the one engineering, so I asked her, “How do you like the hook line?” So, she was like, “Yeah! It’s good.” I told her, like, just, you know, do any - if you feel like you have an opinion, just give your opinion, and correct anything you wanna correct. You know, if she’s not hitting the notes and all of that.” So, when she did a correction, I already picked out, “Oh! Man, she can sing.” So, I was like, “Okay!” Then I asked her, “Can you send me something I can listen to? You know, your website?” So, she sent me the link, and one day I was like, “Wow!” She’s a dope singer,” and I was like, “Okay! My next song, I will try to get her on there,” and that’s how it happened. I mean, she can say it too ‘cause she - when I contacted her like, “Yo! Can you get on this, the hook line of this song.” I just wanted her on the hook line and on the bridge, and when I started getting with my team, I was trying to get another major artist on it. I was like, “No! I think me and her are just gonna fit, like, with the concept of the song and the video.” So, I asked her to do a verse, the second verse. She killed it! 

Interviewer: [To LexC] So, how was it like working with Hookz?

LexC: It’s been very smooth. He makes it easy to work with him because he knows exactly what he wants and the direction that he wants the song to go in, so when I’m given that clear direction it’s easy for me to play off of that and just write something that’s gonna complement what he’s already talking about in the song. 

Interviewer: Okay! Alright, and you‘ve been in the game for how long?

LexC: I would say 4 years is when I started pursuing music seriously.

Interviewer: Okay! Nice! Nice! Nice!
