It can be music income or corporate income.\u00a0 I also realize that everyone that pursues a career in entertainment doesn\u2019t always make it.\u00a0 It\u2019s just like the NBA, everyone playing basketball is not going to make it to the league.\u00a0 So it\u2019s important to have something to fall back on.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Please tell us a little about your acting roles?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Well, I have really just started getting into the acting side of entertainment.\u00a0 I was blessed to have an opportunity to have a role in a web series called \u201cThe Nest.\u201d\u00a0 I played a character named \u201cRidin Hood\u201d as in Little Red Ridin Hood\u2026.LOL.\u00a0 She is a streetwise hustler and a prominent member of the Eastside Ridaz, the gang represented in the show.\u00a0 This role is actually not too far from who I was growing up in Oklahoma City.\u00a0 I also recently played the mother to a young Kokane \u201cThe King Of G Funk\u201d in a video for a song entitled \u201cLife Is Hard\u201d with him, TUPAC and Rowdoggs member, OG Rome.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is that your real passion?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No.\u00a0 I love acting, but music is my real passion.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What hip-hop albums did you grow up listening to?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I grew up listening to groups like XClan, Public Enemy, Rakim, KRS-ONE, NWA, ICE T, King T, E-40 and Tupac to name a few. \u00a0But you could pretty much just say everybody that was making hip hop, I was listening to them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What would be your dream collaboration with any rapper or producer?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One dream collabo has already came true.\u00a0 I worked with DJ Battle Cat when I first moved to Cali.\u00a0 But of course everyone wants to work with Dr. Dre right?!?!?!?!\u00a0 He is my choice for producer and as far as rappers are concerned, I would really love to work with E-40.\u00a0 40-Water baby!!! I would love to get on a track and chop up some bars with him!!!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Who of your contemporaries do you listen to the most?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There really isn\u2019t an artist that I listen to the most. I enjoy listening to the radio. Whatever they are playing, I\u2019m jamming to it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you have your own songs in your favorite playlist?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Absolutely. \u00a0LOL I love my own music!\u00a0 Wit It, is definitely in my favorite playlist!<\/p>\n<p><strong>If you could compare yourself to an already established artist, who would that be and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Hmmmmm.\u00a0 I am not sure in which aspect you mean, but I guess I would say that I compare mostly with Eve.\u00a0 She is a Scorpio like myself.\u00a0 We have tomboy ways with a feminine side as well.\u00a0 She is humble, but confident in herself and vicious on the Mic.\u00a0 Sounds a lot like Natural Red.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What do you think your listeners will get out of your music?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The main thing that my listeners will get from my music is a big surprise!\u00a0 Simply because I am not giving them what is expected of a female rapper. And I don\u2019t really have that female \u201csqueak\u201d in my voice.\u00a0 It\u2019s more like Velvet\u2026\u2026hence \u201cThe Velvet Hammer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>What were you thinking about when your new single \u201cWit It\u201d was developed?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I was wanting to introduce myself to the world with a song that was self-explanatory.\u00a0 When you hear that song, you can a pretty good idea of what kind a person I am, \u00a0what I like and don\u2019t like etc\u2026\u00a0 There is a lot of information in that song about who and how I am.\u00a0 You just have to listen to the bars! \u00a0Also my producer, Steffon aka Roachkilla \u2013 suggested that I slow my pace down on this song and really let people ride along with me on the track so to speak. \u00a0I usually have many more words in my verses.\u00a0 But, I do think the end result is nothing short of spectacular.\u00a0 I surprised myself with that song.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The video and song is hot, do you feel it\u2019s your job to bring the West Coast back for the ladies of Hip Hop?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Thank you.\u00a0 That video was directed by none other than James Wade.\u00a0 He really did his thing for me on that.\u00a0 As for bringing the West Coast back for the ladies, the ladies of West Coast Hip Hop haven\u2019t gone anywhere, so there is no real need to bring them back. \u00a0It\u2019s just that they don\u2019t get the opportunities that many of the male artists get.\u00a0 My job is to represent Natural Red to the fullest and make sure that the music I provide is worth listening to.\u00a0 If I can make waves for the other female artist, that is a major plus.<\/p>\n<p><strong>We watched the video of the UGG West Coast Female Cypher, y\u2019all killed it.\u00a0 How did that come about and is there more collabs with the ladies of the west coming?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Awwww thank you so much.\u00a0 That was such an exciting event in my career.\u00a0 I was working with Shylise Simpson of UGG who is also an emcee.\u00a0 She was putting together her event, The Female Hip Hop Honor Awards.\u00a0 I met her through some mutual friends and we just connected.\u00a0 She invited me to be a part of the Cyphers and I was extremely honored. \u00a0\u00a0I have some collaborations with a couple of the ladies and I am actually cooking up something with one of them right now, that is going to knock your sock off!!! It should be out before the end of this summer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is \u201cThe Velvet Hammer\u201d and when can we expect it?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Velvet Hammer is my full length release.\u00a0 It\u2019s been a long time coming, but you can definitely expect it this year! I have just been working to provide my fans with the best I have to offer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You seem to connect with alot of the West Coast Hip stars like Snoop Dogg, WC, Kokane, Kurupt, Don \u201cMagic\u201d Juan, DJ Quik and more.\u00a0 Will there be any collaborations in the near future?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Absolutely! \u00a0You know, I have really been blessed to be accepted in such a prestigious circle in this industry. \u00a0I have some things lined up with my bro Kurupt and I am also about to be on a project with DJ King Assassin that is going to feature Kokane.\u00a0 Bishop Don \u201cMagic\u201d Juan is actually a personal friend of mine, \u00a0so I\u2019m definitely gonna have some pimpin on a track with him real soon.\u00a0 And of course representing OKC and the LBC, I am looking forward to working with Snoop one day as well.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ok, wow wow wow, you recently had a huge photoshoot at a mansion here in Los Angeles with Getty Images, how did that happen and how was the experience?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yes, yes! That was amazing.\u00a0 My publicist actually set that up for me. \u00a0S\/O to Ernest Jackson over at MNS Media!!! Being a part of the \u201cStarving Artist\u201d project, was all that you would imagine it to be. The Getty Images staff and their photographer Michael Bezjian were awesome, the make-up squad from Moon Star cosmetics killed it. \u00a0And last but certainly not least, my stylist for the shoot, none other than Big Chan \/ \u00a0House of Cyndarella Couture, \u00a0had my look on point.\u00a0 I enjoyed every minute of it and as you can see, \u00a0I came out with some great pics.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What made you want to get into the business?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I love creating music and expressing myself with my art. Whether it be acting in front of a camera or rapping in front of a crowd of thousands, I love it all and I have always wanted to share my gift with the world.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is the most difficult thing you\u2019ve had to endure in life?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There was a point in time in my life that I was on the run from the police. (Yes the case has been handled, I am no longer a fugitive\u2026LOL) But during this time I lost my grandmother and my great grandmother.\u00a0 \u00a0These are two women who were extremely instrumental in who I am as a person.\u00a0 The manner in which I found out about their deaths and the fact that I was not able to say good bye or support my mom during what I know was a very difficult time for her\u2026..still bothers me today.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is the most difficult thing\u00a0you\u2019ve\u00a0had to endure in the music industry?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Liars and Haters\u2026..LOL People do a lot of both for no reason.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Check out Natural Red\u2019s New video \u201cWit It\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"container-lazyload preview-lazyload container-youtube js-lazyload--not-loaded\"><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/CW-9mDRLoxs\" class=\"lazy-load-youtube preview-lazyload preview-youtube\" data-video-title=\"NATURAL RED - &quot;WIT&#039; IT&quot;\" title=\"Play video &quot;NATURAL RED - &quot;WIT&#039; IT&quot;&quot;\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/CW-9mDRLoxs<\/a><noscript>Video can&#8217;t be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/CW-9mDRLoxs\" title=\"NATURAL RED - &quot;WIT&#039; IT&quot;\">NATURAL RED &#8211; &quot;WIT&#039; IT&quot; (https:\/\/youtu.be\/CW-9mDRLoxs)<\/a><\/noscript><\/div>\n<p>Photos by Senior Getty Images Photographer\u00a0Michael Bezjian<\/p>\n<p>Styled by\u00a0<em>house<\/em> of Cyndarella Couture<\/p>\n<p>Keep an eye out for Natural Red on her Facebook <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/NaturalRed\/?fref=ts\">Here<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1308\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1308\" style=\"width: 960px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/onewestmagazine.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/image.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1308 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/onewestmagazine.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/image.png\" alt=\"Natural Red with Snoop Dogg (Bottom Right) and DJ Quick (Upper Left)\" width=\"960\" height=\"960\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1308\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Natural Red with Snoop Dogg (Bottom Right) and DJ Quick (Upper Left)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<span class=\"et_bloom_bottom_trigger\"><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Hello Natural Red, thank you for your time with One West Magazine.\u00a0 Let\u2019s dig right in. &nbsp; Please tell us how Natural Red the artist started?
