more about yourself. Can you tell us where are you're
from and how did you stop music?

Speaker 3 (01:13):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (01:13):
Well, I was born and raised in Los Angeles, California,
and I've been in many parts of music. When I
was younger, I was actually signed to Mercury Records with
a band called Downset.

Speaker 3 (01:24):
That was my first my first host.

Speaker 4 (01:30):
Drive onto the music scene, which we were one of
the first rap metal bands to come out of Los
Angeles in the nineties, and hip hop has always been
a foundation for me. I'm a graffiti artist from the
Los Angeles campy Stop crew known as Aris One, and
I've been making beats, dropping guitar riffs, basslines, DJing, doing

(01:54):
all the above for very long time, and finally it
just all came together and I made so many beats,
i knew I had to come and drop my own
rhymes over the beats. And this is the BNS project
it has come out of that.

Speaker 3 (02:10):
There's a lot of tracks and King.

Speaker 4 (02:12):
Of Hearts is the first song on my first record
that's going to be released on.

Speaker 3 (02:18):
The eleventh of this December. The whole thing's very exciting.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
To me and we are really excited as well. Would
you be so kind to tell us of who.

Speaker 1 (02:28):
Are your music audiots who have influenced you the most?

Speaker 3 (02:34):
My musical artist the influenced me the most hip hop.

Speaker 4 (02:37):
I mean, you know, I came up listening to run
DMC back in the day. You know, the Beastie Boys
KRS one is definitely one of my favorites, you know,
And as the years went on, Doctor Dre definitely became
from a production standpoint to me.

Speaker 3 (02:53):
You know, he dropped the ultimate sound.

Speaker 4 (02:55):
Drop, super fat fresh beats that represented West and he
just not he stepped to the mic, but he also
constantly just kept bringing that next tim see the mic.

Speaker 3 (03:06):
So I I have a lot.

Speaker 4 (03:07):
Of respect for Dre, a lot of respect for other
artists out of l A like Cyperus Hill.

Speaker 3 (03:13):
Yeah, no, dilated.

Speaker 5 (03:14):
People well and you cited like nothing but the best,
So no wonder your music equals to that.

Speaker 1 (03:24):
It's a beautiful This is a beautiful, beautiful artist. So
now fast forwarding to these great new track of yours,
King of Hearts, can you tell us what is the
story of that song and what was the process for
you to make it.

Speaker 3 (03:40):
King of Hearts was?

Speaker 4 (03:42):
You know, I came up with a mixture of a
West Coast East coast beat. At first, I always started
making my beats, and then after I make the beat,
then I come tall of them with the rhymes once
I had to beat made when I came up with
the King of Hearts.

Speaker 3 (03:58):
You know, it's basically saying, you know, set it off,
pop the charts.

Speaker 4 (04:03):
I want something that I knew I could just come
with the radio with and you know, blasting off the
King of Hearts BNS. Every rhyme's a hidden treasure. Hands
always steady on the measure, meaning like you know, every
rhyme I'm going to drop down, I'm going to put
some thought into and care.

Speaker 3 (04:21):
I'm not just going to come up with.

Speaker 4 (04:23):
Something that that's weak or for the moment, like when
I drop songs.

Speaker 3 (04:28):
This is a piece of my life that I like
to put and give into it.

Speaker 4 (04:35):
King of Hearts, you know, from a lyrical MC standpoint,
with something that I wanted to put down in a
way where I knew it could uphold and go head
up in a cipher with an EMC with these rhymes,
you know, over that same tempo, and it means a
lot more also to me because on a personal level,
I'm a man of faith and a man with a

(04:57):
lot of beliefs and I've been very blessed. I got
through my life and with this song King of hearts
is something that with twenty percent of anything that comes
in on this track, especially, I'm going to give back
to troubled youth communities in Los Angeles and that's just
you know, the way I am. I always want to
give back and remember where I came from.

Speaker 2 (05:19):
Well, that was really heartfelt, and I really appreciate what
you're saying, and thank you for sharing these beautiful philosophy,
which should be everyone's philosophy, but you are. You're making
it your.

Speaker 1 (05:31):
Own and you're sharing, sharing your scaring definitely, and your
music reflects that. So we're so glad to tell us
about BNS. What where the name is from BNS.

Speaker 4 (05:46):
That's my MC name, that's that's the initials of my name,
Brian Neilschweger. And just the way that that's what came
into my mind when I stepped up to the mic.
You know how I wanted the MC you know, BNNS
Forever Crushing Fresh. It just it just was something that
always started to flow. It's a way that is a

(06:07):
true identity to me. But it's got that right vibe,
that that hip hop, that street, that that attitude that
I need to have when I'm on the mic.

Speaker 1 (06:17):
And it's a beautiful it's a very catchy name. Indeed, BNS,
we love that audience. He has released a new track
or King of Hearts. So before we start to play
your new track.

Speaker 5 (06:30):
Before we invite people, of course to the release of
your upcoming album in December, can you please tell us
what are your next projects?

Speaker 3 (06:41):
Well with this we have.

Speaker 4 (06:43):
King of Hearts was the first single released and coming
up on November twenty ninth, we're releasing the next single,
which is Sunshine Rainbows, which is a it's very cool song.
It has a line there was sung by Ashton Bernard,
who's a singer at the Church Legacy in Albuquerque, New Mexico,

(07:07):
and she did a wonderful job on the vocal and
that's a very dark but inspiring track, you know, and
everybody goes through hard, hard times in their life and
it just shows, you know, it's not gonna be also
on Shina Rainbows. So that's that's gonna be the second
introduction of BNS to the world and then.

Speaker 3 (07:31):
The album drops.

Speaker 4 (07:32):
And when I recorded this album, I actually recorded two
full records. So we're gonna be releasing another record probably
around next summer, just for a quick follow up.
