You know it's not a day in a life for sure,
A rapper of you know, a poety, I mean, you
know of a writer. You can name it whatever you like.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Yeah, all right, man, So before we really get into things, man,
what's been on your heart and mind lately, especially with
the upcoming release of Represents.
Speaker 7 (05:00):
Yeah, man, I've been working so hard about Repress Suns.
Speaker 5 (05:06):
And actually I started recording it somewhere in late twenty
twenty twenty.
Speaker 7 (05:14):
Like that means that like nearly like four and a
half years of on and off work.
Speaker 5 (05:22):
But in the past year.
Speaker 7 (05:24):
I've been working very intense on this album and pretty
much recording track of the track, of the track of
the track.
Speaker 5 (05:32):
And yeah, I'm about to finish it.
Speaker 7 (05:35):
I've got just one song, one track to record, and
the whole sixteen track are ready to go in one album.
Speaker 5 (05:43):
And I can't say I'm not excited, because I am
so you know.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Nice, What are you both decited about?
Speaker 8 (05:53):
I'm excited about, you know, the versatility of the album,
by the uh so much diverse.
Speaker 5 (06:03):
In that album, Like each song is a different, different thing.
It's mix, it's.
Speaker 7 (06:09):
Hip hop, hardcore hip hop when I mean hardcore is
like true to your faith.
Speaker 5 (06:15):
It's like whatever it's rude.
Speaker 7 (06:17):
And you know, has some sexual or you know, violent,
not in a negative way, but it kind of like that,
you know, like what hip hop is about.
Speaker 5 (06:26):
It's like metaphorically speaking.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
You know.
Speaker 5 (06:29):
But don't get me wrong. My music is not here
to influence you know.
Speaker 7 (06:35):
People, adults and younger people, you know, for you know,
for the worst.
Speaker 5 (06:40):
It's only going to influence them for the better. So
you know, I'm you know, I'm just you know.
Speaker 7 (06:47):
People when they hear me rap, they know it's a metaphor.
They know I'm here to represent art, I know, to
make art, to just talk about the topics that I
want within art with audacity, with whatever, you know, I got,
I got in the box, you know, and it's pretty
much you know, I'm thinking out of the box.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
I'm very creative about that. And yeah, you know, it's it's.
Speaker 7 (07:09):
Combined with so many genres and you know, yeah, one
song is even combined with chillout music, and chill outs,
you know, hasn't been like it's pretty much died back
in the nineties.
Speaker 5 (07:23):
And to have the ability to create hip hop.
Speaker 7 (07:27):
And chillout it's very it's very like exciting for me
in particular, you know, yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Yeah. So the single is titled August two thousand and eight.
Mm hmm. If your life was like an.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Episode, you know, series on Netflix, what would we see
about you around this time? Man?
Speaker 7 (07:58):
You would see my my whole life going, you know,
going in an accident of decent.
Speaker 5 (08:04):
You know. It was like it's like going up and downs.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
You know.
Speaker 7 (08:07):
I was like from the moment, like pretty much episodes
is like, you know, each episode is a different part
of my life where I like, like in the August
two thousand eight song, I talk about the incidents that
prior to August two thousand and eight, which I wasn't
sure that I'm going to be a rapper, that I
(08:27):
was just a thought in my head. But in August
two thousand and eight, I just realized, boom, that's it.
And the you know, the incident that you know it
occured after, you know, August two thousand and eight.
Speaker 5 (08:42):
It's like, hey man, everything is like it's just who
I am, who I be, and you know, it's just
I was fully, sure.
Speaker 7 (08:49):
Fully confident I'm like before August two thousand eight, and
if my life would be a show on Netflix, you'll
see you know, different part of you know, of my
character of my personality. It's like, you know, you got
to just dig deeper than music in order to see.
Speaker 5 (09:10):
What's behind Daniel Belkim.
Speaker 7 (09:12):
Which is my real name, and Vortex Slow which is
my you.
Speaker 5 (09:15):
Know, stage name.
Speaker 7 (09:16):
Basically like analyze my whole personality, what I do, what
I don't do.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
You know, did this time period change you?
Speaker 9 (09:30):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (09:31):
Yeah, in some parts? But you know, I am what
I am since the beginning.
Speaker 7 (09:37):
I stayed true to myself and loyal to myself, and I.
Speaker 5 (09:42):
Mean, you know, I am who I am.
Speaker 7 (09:44):
But in some parts, yeah, I mean my mindset got
changed a little bit in different aspects of life, you
know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Yeah, Man, you mentioned before that rapist telling your truth?
Speaker 2 (10:00):
What does that truth look like for you right now?
Speaker 7 (10:06):
Well? As I know, you know, in my song Repeisance,
which is the theme song of the album, which the
album is named after, I talk in replicans about in
the third verse. I don't know if you've listened to
that to the represent song. Now the album of the song,
it's of course not the album because he hasn't been
you know, out yet, but you know, the the replicite
(10:29):
represent single, it was like my third single.
Speaker 5 (10:32):
So in the third verse, I'm rapping about it. I
rap about you know, humanity, like mistakes that we make,
I make.
Speaker 7 (10:43):
You know, personally specifically, I rap about happiness, like.
Speaker 5 (10:48):
You know, almost happy. It's one of my songs.
Speaker 7 (10:51):
I rap about, uh, you know, like relationships in in uh,
like odd relationships. I'm not the kind of artist to
just write every love song. Barely, I don't have any
love songs in my album. It's just one song. It's
not really a love song.
Speaker 5 (11:10):
It's called My Female Version.
Speaker 7 (11:11):
But you know, I had this you know, radio interview
before which I talked about this specific single, and he
talks about the female which she's just like me because usually,
you know, just couples, they attract to the people attracted
the opposite, you know, to the thing. They're just exact
opposites from them. But she was like my female version
(11:32):
in behavior and an attitude and everything. So it's kind
of like an odd relationship which I wanted to share
and wanted to write about and you know, record and
rap about. And you know, I rap about.
Speaker 5 (11:47):
Fake pictures as well. I mean, one of my songs
is gonna.
Speaker 7 (11:51):
Be in the album, which hasn't been out yet, but
it's going to be released with it. With the whole
album it's called A Picture Full of Prep talks about
you know, the old.
Speaker 5 (12:00):
School pictures, which was you know, which.
Speaker 10 (12:02):
Were real, and the pictures right now full of filters,
full of fake girls and stuff like that and other
fake things, you know, which you know in this generation,
in this modern days, you know.
Speaker 5 (12:14):
And yeah, I.
Speaker 11 (12:17):
Rap about also me, me being a rapper coming from
the middle class because you know, because some rappers they
came from poverty. I mean a lot of rappers came
from poverty and streets and stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Not me.
Speaker 5 (12:31):
I mean my hometown where I used to live.
Speaker 7 (12:34):
It was my house, you know, where I used to
grow up, Where I grew up. It was exactly located
between the hood and the city basically belong to the city,
which is the middle class, not the you know, the
the more poor people, but it's basically middle class.
Speaker 5 (12:49):
But I was like, I can watch you know, the
slugs the hood from my doctrines.
Speaker 7 (12:56):
It was like kind of like in between rapping about
being a middle class rapper, not coming from a recast
parents and not coming from like.
Speaker 5 (13:03):
Poverty and stuff like that, you know, but at.
Speaker 7 (13:07):
Did basically and as the truth that I rap about.
I also rap about and here is some spoiler. I
rap about drugs and violence, not in a way that
you probably get the impression out of it, not to
(13:27):
encourage violence or drugs, although violence is really is out
there you can ignore it.
Speaker 5 (13:32):
But what I'm saying is like I'm talking about.
Speaker 7 (13:36):
Like in a kind of like homoristic way, metaphoricy way,
punchlines kind of way if you know, to film me
like the in this kind of stuff, and kind of
like to for entertainment purpose, because when I rap about
like stuff like that, I just rap about like for example,
I give you an example. One song is called weed
(13:58):
inside the Bush. Now the title might seem a little funny,
but the thing is that I compare women to drugs, like,
for example, like women can be like, you know, like
like like drugs. For example, some women are nosy like cocaine,
or you know, like some women like stuck in your
vein like heroin, or you know, make you give your
(14:22):
hallucinations and make you see sharp like ecstasy or like
shreops and stuff like that.
Speaker 5 (14:29):
Basically that's the metaphor.
Speaker 7 (14:31):
People pretty much clever enough to understand that it's not
encouraging drugs, but just give the metaphor as an aspect
of flight.
Speaker 5 (14:38):
You know, I understand what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Yes, yeah, and yeah.
Speaker 7 (14:43):
And there is like another song called Psychotic Episode, which
like I'm like basically it's the egocentric song.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
It's like basically I talk about my skills.
Speaker 7 (14:55):
As a rapper, but like you know, and I'm pretty
much metaphorically comparing like rapping skills to like psychotic episodes
like for example, my lyrics got deep like a Japanese blade,
you know, like like psychotic episode.
Speaker 9 (15:15):
Like for example, like, uh, you know, like stuff like that.
Speaker 7 (15:19):
So just people, can you know, make the comparison metaphorically?
You know, sure, but again it's for entertainment purpose and
pretty much but yeah, you know, like as an artist,
you gotta have the uh you know, diversity between the
truth and the uh the art entertainment which you want to.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Perform. You know, definitely, man, you're keeping it pure to
the art.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
Where did this love of this side of hip hop
come from?
Speaker 9 (15:52):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (15:55):
To be honest with you, Uh, man, that's a tough one.
Speaker 7 (16:02):
But uh, well, I was born in nineteen ninety two,
so I was just born into that culture and basically
one of my songs and revealing one more song again
it's called like Pegasus ninety two, which I'm talking about
(16:26):
growing up into the hip hop culture when it's was
in this right era, you know. But I grew up
in a generation which is like you know, I you know,
the hardcore hip hop with the dope eats and just
the hard.
Speaker 5 (16:41):
Bass and you know and the uh, you know, the
the heart synthesizer got me. It's so thrilled as a kid,
you know. But as I grew as I grew up,
as I.
Speaker 7 (16:52):
Was growing up, I just heard more and more rappers
speedning truth and I'm saying, you know what, I just
falling in love and hip hop more deeply because.
Speaker 5 (17:03):
You can't just in songs that you're singing.
Speaker 7 (17:06):
You can speak about everything like hip hop because hip
hop is like skidding.
Speaker 5 (17:10):
Everything out, you know.
Speaker 7 (17:12):
And that got me, like, you know, got me so
into it, so freaking unique, you know.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
Mm hmmm, I know. So man, with the renaissance came
a revolution.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Uh your album.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
Is called Repetence. Are you sparkling of revolution? Are your revolutionary?
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Well?
Speaker 5 (17:35):
Uh?
Speaker 7 (17:37):
In the melodies in the music and each and one
of each each track, people will understand the.
Speaker 9 (17:44):
Uh what I'm talking about there, it's like so revolutionary,
like you know, the mixing of so many genres, the
uh just.
Speaker 7 (17:54):
Creating hip hop from pretty much scratch, you know, because
to be honest with your unfortunately, I feel like people
kind of got lost within the last few years, you know.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Yeah, oh yeah, let's take it back fifteen years.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (18:12):
Like I said, I just.
Speaker 7 (18:15):
You know, sometimes I just wish I would have forn
twenty years before.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
But you know, it is what it is, right, I
think everything has this time and place.
Speaker 12 (18:30):
Yeah, but you know, I just I feel like, you know,
I just I was a child at the time of
the Golden Era.
Speaker 7 (18:42):
What I'm saying, if I would be twenty years older,
I would be pretty much adult in the Golden Era,
you feel me?
Speaker 3 (18:48):
Ah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
All right, guys, let's jump into August.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Two thousand and eight and we'll be right back with
more Vertex Flow.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Stay tuned.
Speaker 13 (19:23):
It was October two thousand and five. The first time
did I try to write a song and couldn't come
with the rhyme. I watched the preestyle video of two
rappers on stage. I rewrote the words was in a lyricalcage.
You need December two thousand and five. In one night,
had a panic attack, but my mind was so bright.
Lyrics came to my head, like credits on screen, line
after the line lucky Handy movie. See my first time
(19:45):
in the studio at two thousand and six, I didn't
really know what the tricks beyond the mix. And the
next day I woke up as a different guy, strange.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Feeling of achievement.
Speaker 13 (19:53):
I was touching the sky. Tue two thousand and six,
my first show in front of school. My friends are
making fun of me for trying to be cool. They
joked about stipid lyrics of the teenager at the bottom
of the league, giam of making a major gonna fight
the storm, not gonna stop at the bay. That's between
backing up and going all the way. Because in July
two thousand and six was on my table a response
letter from a.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Big record label.
Speaker 13 (20:15):
But he goes straight to August two thousand and eight,
eyed flash backs, envisions of the faith to create, Rot,
my Federal most success, Mike rises and faults. I watch
videos and MTV and Planet my goals between looking way
far and finding who you are and the charnder blows.
La Queen on a cigar. The papers disappeared. That lives
in the word stay.
Speaker 5 (20:33):
The Earth and sky.
Speaker 13 (20:34):
That has just turned great. June twenty fifteen, the release
of my first single, I felt excitement somehow a bit
of a tigle. My head was in the clouds, but
my feet were on the ground. I wonder what are
the responses of my master vocal sound. In November that year,
my first video I shot. It was fun sitting down
and creating the blood. In the shoot, I was arguing
with the camera man. I got a good result. I
(20:55):
guess it was just part of the plan. The director
had no experience, but it was creative, a good ideas
Budd in music, he was a native. His videos mostly
a promotional campaign's resume. I guess life not simple as
a plane. That made an article about me late twenty sixteen,
a good producer and prra figured this is how you win.
July twenty eighteen, I was performing at some place when
girl was so lich you felt like out of space.
(21:17):
October twenty two, interviewed radio station. I was like in stress,
but handled this situation. A month later in November, number
four in the chart, going step by step to the
top twoing it smart, but he goes straight to August
two thousand and eight, eyed flash backs, envisions of the
faith that creates rout my federal most success, Mike rises
and falls. I watch videos and MTV and Planet my
(21:37):
goals between looking way far and finding who you are.
The calendar blows, la queen want a cigar? The papers
disappeared like lives in the wordstay lackarth and sky. That
has just turned great?
Speaker 2 (21:53):
All right, all right, welcome back again. That was all
goods two thousand and eight by vertext Flow.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
Definitely a storyteller at heart.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
It sounded.
Speaker 14 (22:11):
Like the birth of vertex Flow in the first verse,
like getting those lyrics were you know, was divine, Like
he was becoming vertex Flow in this moment.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
So let's find out. Let's find out. Okay, okay, welcome back,
welcome back. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Man, Going into that first verse, it sounded like you
were becoming vertex Flow in that moment after watching the
music videos.
Speaker 7 (22:44):
Yeah, I mean in the first verse, I was just.
Speaker 5 (22:49):
Doing my first very first steps.
Speaker 7 (22:50):
Like first time in the recording studio, first time I
actually wrote a song. How I tried watching a free
step video two rappers on stage and couldn't do it, and.
Speaker 5 (23:05):
You know, performed in front of my school, and you know,
I was, you know, kind of like uh you know,
but uh awkward moment. But then like you know, I
just realized it's who I am. Then I just took
my too, you know, got my ship to get her,
(23:25):
and just you know, in the in the second verse,
I just you know, I see.
Speaker 7 (23:30):
Like you know, articles and music video and you know
and pretty much you know, like uh.
Speaker 5 (23:41):
You know, charts and trying to get you know, like
the most of what I got, well I can get,
you know.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
Don Yeah, yeah, you began to study deeper as well.
I mean what kind of examples did you have?
Speaker 7 (23:56):
Oh you mean uh yeah, you mean like some auto
rappers I got.
Speaker 15 (24:05):
Influenced by, uh well, basically the West Coast rappers like uh,
you know, Snoop Dog.
Speaker 5 (24:16):
The Game, corruptb C.
Speaker 7 (24:18):
That's Dealing your Dog Bound, you know, East Siders, you know,
all this stuff kind of like GT ME, uh.
Speaker 5 (24:27):
Some some East Coast rappers too, but mostly the West.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
Coast you know.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
Yeah, Okay, all right, so man, looking ahead, what's next
after represents that's.
Speaker 5 (24:41):
Just I want to add something that's just in hip.
Speaker 7 (24:44):
Hop, in rock I mean ari E okay, go ahead,
are was Uh you know, I would say my favorite band,
not one of record, the actual my.
Speaker 16 (24:55):
Favorite and this very good classic rock and yeah like Ulouds.
Speaker 7 (25:02):
I would say, you know, back in the nineties, chill
out bands like Enigma or you know like that as
zero seven or I would say, uh, you know like
uh yeah, zero seven Enigma basically mostly and that's it
(25:27):
pretty much.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Yeah, I like, I like your the array of different inspirations.
It's not just hip hop.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
But you know, there's rock elements in your music. I
mean your instrummentation as well itself. You have flute, piano, rock, guitar,
Middle Eastern melodies all layered in.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
So I should have known there was more to the pie.
So let let's talk about your roots in Israbel. What's
something people that where.
Speaker 5 (25:57):
Starting talking with this and that that's just just a
single that you're hurt so far you heard.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
No I have not okay in.
Speaker 5 (26:07):
That you got some pretty good you know, like uh violentce.
You know, it's like classical violence, not classical, but I
would say, like very like historical violence. It's pretty good.
Speaker 6 (26:20):
And uh and.
Speaker 5 (26:27):
Yeah, you know, like, uh, you haven't heard nothing because
you know, when.
Speaker 7 (26:32):
When the whole album comes out and it's gonna be released,
then you're going to hear the real instrumentations of the
whole album.
Speaker 5 (26:39):
So that's gonna be the whole package, you know. Uh, yeah,
it's an experience of a.
Speaker 16 (26:44):
Lot of years and yeah, you know, eventually and essentially like, uh,
it's gonna be a real like a lot of instrumentations involved,
so you know, like, you know, I can't reveal that much.
Speaker 5 (26:57):
I revealed enough to you know. Yeah, but yeah, it's
you know, and.
Speaker 7 (27:04):
Of course I'm like prepare, I'm you know, I'm making
like like a concert is going to be like a performance,
like a lunch performance from the album. And yeah, once
the album is dropped, then I'll start to work on that,
you know.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
Yeah. Yeah, And you asked.
Speaker 5 (27:21):
Me talking about my roots in Israel or something.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
Right, Yeah, yeah, yeah, let's talk about your roots in Israel.
What's something that people misunderstand about Israeli hip hop or
is it all the same?
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Hip hop? Is just hip hop?
Speaker 5 (27:41):
The hip hop in Israel is very like they put
it to the side.
Speaker 7 (27:47):
You know, it's not really like a main big thing,
you know, because in Israel, it's like very you know,
the Middle East, it's very conservative region, very conservative place.
Speaker 5 (27:57):
So if you talk.
Speaker 7 (27:59):
You know, any sort of ship like swearing or like,
uh you know about sexual stuff or violent stuff or
some you know, some obscene.
Speaker 5 (28:10):
Words and stuff like that, Oh, you're going to be
disqualified on the place, you know, on the spot. And
it's pretty much it, you know. And uh yeah, I
mean I don't know. It's like, uh, I feel like
Hebrew and English folk.
Speaker 7 (28:30):
I control the both languages, like you know, like like
appropriately much.
Speaker 5 (28:35):
I guess both languages.
Speaker 17 (28:36):
But uh, you know, when you wrap you know in
in Nebrew, it's not really like a big thing because
you know, it's not really so much acceptable over there.
Speaker 5 (28:48):
You know that, Uh it is, but it's not really
a big thing, to be quite honestand.
Speaker 2 (28:56):

Speaker 3 (04:47):
Yeah, all right, man, So before we really get into things, man,
what's been on your heart and mind lately, especially with
the upcoming release of Represents.
Speaker 7 (05:00):
Yeah, man, I've been working so hard about Repress Suns.
Speaker 5 (05:06):
And actually I started recording it somewhere in late twenty
twenty twenty.
Speaker 7 (05:14):
Like that means that like nearly like four and a
half years of on and off work.
Speaker 5 (05:22):
But in the past year.
Speaker 7 (05:24):
I've been working very intense on this album and pretty
much recording track of the track, of the track of
the track.
Speaker 5 (05:32):
And yeah, I'm about to finish it.
Speaker 7 (05:35):
I've got just one song, one track to record, and
the whole sixteen track are ready to go in one album.
Speaker 5 (05:43):
And I can't say I'm not excited, because I am
so you know.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Nice, What are you both decited about?
Speaker 8 (05:53):
I'm excited about, you know, the versatility of the album,
by the uh so much diverse.
Speaker 5 (06:03):
In that album, Like each song is a different, different thing.
It's mix, it's.
Speaker 7 (06:09):
Hip hop, hardcore hip hop when I mean hardcore is
like true to your faith.
Speaker 5 (06:15):
It's like whatever it's rude.
Speaker 7 (06:17):
And you know, has some sexual or you know, violent,
not in a negative way, but it kind of like that,
you know, like what hip hop is about.
Speaker 5 (06:26):
It's like metaphorically speaking.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
You know.
Speaker 5 (06:29):
But don't get me wrong. My music is not here
to influence you know.
Speaker 7 (06:35):
People, adults and younger people, you know, for you know,
for the worst.
Speaker 5 (06:40):
It's only going to influence them for the better. So
you know, I'm you know, I'm just you know.
Speaker 7 (06:47):
People when they hear me rap, they know it's a metaphor.
They know I'm here to represent art, I know, to
make art, to just talk about the topics that I
want within art with audacity, with whatever, you know, I got,
I got in the box, you know, and it's pretty
much you know, I'm thinking out of the box.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
I'm very creative about that. And yeah, you know, it's it's.
Speaker 7 (07:09):
Combined with so many genres and you know, yeah, one
song is even combined with chillout music, and chill outs,
you know, hasn't been like it's pretty much died back
in the nineties.
Speaker 5 (07:23):
And to have the ability to create hip hop.
Speaker 7 (07:27):
And chillout it's very it's very like exciting for me
in particular, you know, yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Yeah. So the single is titled August two thousand and eight.
Mm hmm. If your life was like an.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Episode, you know, series on Netflix, what would we see
about you around this time? Man?
Speaker 7 (07:58):
You would see my my whole life going, you know,
going in an accident of decent.
Speaker 5 (08:04):
You know. It was like it's like going up and downs.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
You know.
Speaker 7 (08:07):
I was like from the moment, like pretty much episodes
is like, you know, each episode is a different part
of my life where I like, like in the August
two thousand eight song, I talk about the incidents that
prior to August two thousand and eight, which I wasn't
sure that I'm going to be a rapper, that I
(08:27):
was just a thought in my head. But in August
two thousand and eight, I just realized, boom, that's it.
And the you know, the incident that you know it
occured after, you know, August two thousand and eight.
Speaker 5 (08:42):
It's like, hey man, everything is like it's just who
I am, who I be, and you know, it's just
I was fully, sure.
Speaker 7 (08:49):
Fully confident I'm like before August two thousand eight, and
if my life would be a show on Netflix, you'll
see you know, different part of you know, of my
character of my personality. It's like, you know, you got
to just dig deeper than music in order to see.
Speaker 5 (09:10):
What's behind Daniel Belkim.
Speaker 7 (09:12):
Which is my real name, and Vortex Slow which is
my you.
Speaker 5 (09:15):
Know, stage name.
Speaker 7 (09:16):
Basically like analyze my whole personality, what I do, what
I don't do.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
You know, did this time period change you?
Speaker 9 (09:30):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (09:31):
Yeah, in some parts? But you know, I am what
I am since the beginning.
Speaker 7 (09:37):
I stayed true to myself and loyal to myself, and I.
Speaker 5 (09:42):
Mean, you know, I am who I am.
Speaker 7 (09:44):
But in some parts, yeah, I mean my mindset got
changed a little bit in different aspects of life, you
know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Yeah, Man, you mentioned before that rapist telling your truth?
Speaker 2 (10:00):
What does that truth look like for you right now?
Speaker 7 (10:06):
Well? As I know, you know, in my song Repeisance,
which is the theme song of the album, which the
album is named after, I talk in replicans about in
the third verse. I don't know if you've listened to
that to the represent song. Now the album of the song,
it's of course not the album because he hasn't been
you know, out yet, but you know, the the replicite
(10:29):
represent single, it was like my third single.
Speaker 5 (10:32):
So in the third verse, I'm rapping about it. I
rap about you know, humanity, like mistakes that we make,
I make.
Speaker 7 (10:43):
You know, personally specifically, I rap about happiness, like.
Speaker 5 (10:48):
You know, almost happy. It's one of my songs.
Speaker 7 (10:51):
I rap about, uh, you know, like relationships in in uh,
like odd relationships. I'm not the kind of artist to
just write every love song. Barely, I don't have any
love songs in my album. It's just one song. It's
not really a love song.
Speaker 5 (11:10):
It's called My Female Version.
Speaker 7 (11:11):
But you know, I had this you know, radio interview
before which I talked about this specific single, and he
talks about the female which she's just like me because usually,
you know, just couples, they attract to the people attracted
the opposite, you know, to the thing. They're just exact
opposites from them. But she was like my female version
(11:32):
in behavior and an attitude and everything. So it's kind
of like an odd relationship which I wanted to share
and wanted to write about and you know, record and
rap about. And you know, I rap about.
Speaker 5 (11:47):
Fake pictures as well. I mean, one of my songs
is gonna.
Speaker 7 (11:51):
Be in the album, which hasn't been out yet, but
it's going to be released with it. With the whole
album it's called A Picture Full of Prep talks about
you know, the old.
Speaker 5 (12:00):
School pictures, which was you know, which.
Speaker 10 (12:02):
Were real, and the pictures right now full of filters,
full of fake girls and stuff like that and other
fake things, you know, which you know in this generation,
in this modern days, you know.
Speaker 5 (12:14):
And yeah, I.
Speaker 11 (12:17):
Rap about also me, me being a rapper coming from
the middle class because you know, because some rappers they
came from poverty. I mean a lot of rappers came
from poverty and streets and stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Not me.
Speaker 5 (12:31):
I mean my hometown where I used to live.
Speaker 7 (12:34):
It was my house, you know, where I used to
grow up, Where I grew up. It was exactly located
between the hood and the city basically belong to the city,
which is the middle class, not the you know, the
the more poor people, but it's basically middle class.
Speaker 5 (12:49):
But I was like, I can watch you know, the
slugs the hood from my doctrines.
Speaker 7 (12:56):
It was like kind of like in between rapping about
being a middle class rapper, not coming from a recast
parents and not coming from like.
Speaker 5 (13:03):
Poverty and stuff like that, you know, but at.
Speaker 7 (13:07):
Did basically and as the truth that I rap about.
I also rap about and here is some spoiler. I
rap about drugs and violence, not in a way that
you probably get the impression out of it, not to
(13:27):
encourage violence or drugs, although violence is really is out
there you can ignore it.
Speaker 5 (13:32):
But what I'm saying is like I'm talking about.
Speaker 7 (13:36):
Like in a kind of like homoristic way, metaphoricy way,
punchlines kind of way if you know, to film me
like the in this kind of stuff, and kind of
like to for entertainment purpose, because when I rap about
like stuff like that, I just rap about like for example,
I give you an example. One song is called weed
(13:58):
inside the Bush. Now the title might seem a little funny,
but the thing is that I compare women to drugs, like,
for example, like women can be like, you know, like
like like drugs. For example, some women are nosy like cocaine,
or you know, like some women like stuck in your
vein like heroin, or you know, make you give your
(14:22):
hallucinations and make you see sharp like ecstasy or like
shreops and stuff like that.
Speaker 5 (14:29):
Basically that's the metaphor.
Speaker 7 (14:31):
People pretty much clever enough to understand that it's not
encouraging drugs, but just give the metaphor as an aspect
of flight.
Speaker 5 (14:38):
You know, I understand what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Yes, yeah, and yeah.
Speaker 7 (14:43):
And there is like another song called Psychotic Episode, which
like I'm like basically it's the egocentric song.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
It's like basically I talk about my skills.
Speaker 7 (14:55):
As a rapper, but like you know, and I'm pretty
much metaphorically comparing like rapping skills to like psychotic episodes
like for example, my lyrics got deep like a Japanese blade,
you know, like like psychotic episode.
Speaker 9 (15:15):
Like for example, like, uh, you know, like stuff like that.
Speaker 7 (15:19):
So just people, can you know, make the comparison metaphorically?
You know, sure, but again it's for entertainment purpose and
pretty much but yeah, you know, like as an artist,
you gotta have the uh you know, diversity between the
truth and the uh the art entertainment which you want to.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Perform. You know, definitely, man, you're keeping it pure to
the art.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
Where did this love of this side of hip hop
come from?
Speaker 9 (15:52):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (15:55):
To be honest with you, Uh, man, that's a tough one.
Speaker 7 (16:02):
But uh, well, I was born in nineteen ninety two,
so I was just born into that culture and basically
one of my songs and revealing one more song again
it's called like Pegasus ninety two, which I'm talking about
(16:26):
growing up into the hip hop culture when it's was
in this right era, you know. But I grew up
in a generation which is like you know, I you know,
the hardcore hip hop with the dope eats and just
the hard.
Speaker 5 (16:41):
Bass and you know and the uh, you know, the
the heart synthesizer got me. It's so thrilled as a kid,
you know. But as I grew as I grew up,
as I.
Speaker 7 (16:52):
Was growing up, I just heard more and more rappers
speedning truth and I'm saying, you know what, I just
falling in love and hip hop more deeply because.
Speaker 5 (17:03):
You can't just in songs that you're singing.
Speaker 7 (17:06):
You can speak about everything like hip hop because hip
hop is like skidding.
Speaker 5 (17:10):
Everything out, you know.
Speaker 7 (17:12):
And that got me, like, you know, got me so
into it, so freaking unique, you know.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
Mm hmmm, I know. So man, with the renaissance came
a revolution.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Uh your album.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
Is called Repetence. Are you sparkling of revolution? Are your revolutionary?
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Well?
Speaker 5 (17:35):
Uh?
Speaker 7 (17:37):
In the melodies in the music and each and one
of each each track, people will understand the.
Speaker 9 (17:44):
Uh what I'm talking about there, it's like so revolutionary,
like you know, the mixing of so many genres, the
uh just.
Speaker 7 (17:54):
Creating hip hop from pretty much scratch, you know, because
to be honest with your unfortunately, I feel like people
kind of got lost within the last few years, you know.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Yeah, oh yeah, let's take it back fifteen years.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (18:12):
Like I said, I just.
Speaker 7 (18:15):
You know, sometimes I just wish I would have forn
twenty years before.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
But you know, it is what it is, right, I
think everything has this time and place.
Speaker 12 (18:30):
Yeah, but you know, I just I feel like, you know,
I just I was a child at the time of
the Golden Era.
Speaker 7 (18:42):
What I'm saying, if I would be twenty years older,
I would be pretty much adult in the Golden Era,
you feel me?
Speaker 3 (18:48):
Ah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
All right, guys, let's jump into August.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Two thousand and eight and we'll be right back with
more Vertex Flow.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Stay tuned.
Speaker 13 (19:23):
It was October two thousand and five. The first time
did I try to write a song and couldn't come
with the rhyme. I watched the preestyle video of two
rappers on stage. I rewrote the words was in a lyricalcage.
You need December two thousand and five. In one night,
had a panic attack, but my mind was so bright.
Lyrics came to my head, like credits on screen, line
after the line lucky Handy movie. See my first time
(19:45):
in the studio at two thousand and six, I didn't
really know what the tricks beyond the mix. And the
next day I woke up as a different guy, strange.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Feeling of achievement.
Speaker 13 (19:53):
I was touching the sky. Tue two thousand and six,
my first show in front of school. My friends are
making fun of me for trying to be cool. They
joked about stipid lyrics of the teenager at the bottom
of the league, giam of making a major gonna fight
the storm, not gonna stop at the bay. That's between
backing up and going all the way. Because in July
two thousand and six was on my table a response
letter from a.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Big record label.
Speaker 13 (20:15):
But he goes straight to August two thousand and eight,
eyed flash backs, envisions of the faith to create, Rot,
my Federal most success, Mike rises and faults. I watch
videos and MTV and Planet my goals between looking way
far and finding who you are and the charnder blows.
La Queen on a cigar. The papers disappeared. That lives
in the word stay.
Speaker 5 (20:33):
The Earth and sky.
Speaker 13 (20:34):
That has just turned great. June twenty fifteen, the release
of my first single, I felt excitement somehow a bit
of a tigle. My head was in the clouds, but
my feet were on the ground. I wonder what are
the responses of my master vocal sound. In November that year,
my first video I shot. It was fun sitting down
and creating the blood. In the shoot, I was arguing
with the camera man. I got a good result. I
(20:55):
guess it was just part of the plan. The director
had no experience, but it was creative, a good ideas
Budd in music, he was a native. His videos mostly
a promotional campaign's resume. I guess life not simple as
a plane. That made an article about me late twenty sixteen,
a good producer and prra figured this is how you win.
July twenty eighteen, I was performing at some place when
girl was so lich you felt like out of space.
(21:17):
October twenty two, interviewed radio station. I was like in stress,
but handled this situation. A month later in November, number
four in the chart, going step by step to the
top twoing it smart, but he goes straight to August
two thousand and eight, eyed flash backs, envisions of the
faith that creates rout my federal most success, Mike rises
and falls. I watch videos and MTV and Planet my
(21:37):
goals between looking way far and finding who you are.
The calendar blows, la queen want a cigar? The papers
disappeared like lives in the wordstay lackarth and sky. That
has just turned great?
Speaker 2 (21:53):
All right, all right, welcome back again. That was all
goods two thousand and eight by vertext Flow.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
Definitely a storyteller at heart.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
It sounded.
Speaker 14 (22:11):
Like the birth of vertex Flow in the first verse,
like getting those lyrics were you know, was divine, Like
he was becoming vertex Flow in this moment.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
So let's find out. Let's find out. Okay, okay, welcome back,
welcome back. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Man, Going into that first verse, it sounded like you
were becoming vertex Flow in that moment after watching the
music videos.
Speaker 7 (22:44):
Yeah, I mean in the first verse, I was just.
Speaker 5 (22:49):
Doing my first very first steps.
Speaker 7 (22:50):
Like first time in the recording studio, first time I
actually wrote a song. How I tried watching a free
step video two rappers on stage and couldn't do it, and.
Speaker 5 (23:05):
You know, performed in front of my school, and you know,
I was, you know, kind of like uh you know,
but uh awkward moment. But then like you know, I
just realized it's who I am. Then I just took
my too, you know, got my ship to get her,
(23:25):
and just you know, in the in the second verse,
I just you know, I see.
Speaker 7 (23:30):
Like you know, articles and music video and you know
and pretty much you know, like uh.
Speaker 5 (23:41):
You know, charts and trying to get you know, like
the most of what I got, well I can get,
you know.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
Don Yeah, yeah, you began to study deeper as well.
I mean what kind of examples did you have?
Speaker 7 (23:56):
Oh you mean uh yeah, you mean like some auto
rappers I got.
Speaker 15 (24:05):
Influenced by, uh well, basically the West Coast rappers like uh,
you know, Snoop Dog.
Speaker 5 (24:16):
The Game, corruptb C.
Speaker 7 (24:18):
That's Dealing your Dog Bound, you know, East Siders, you know,
all this stuff kind of like GT ME, uh.
Speaker 5 (24:27):
Some some East Coast rappers too, but mostly the West.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
Coast you know.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
Yeah, Okay, all right, so man, looking ahead, what's next
after represents that's.
Speaker 5 (24:41):
Just I want to add something that's just in hip.
Speaker 7 (24:44):
Hop, in rock I mean ari E okay, go ahead,
are was Uh you know, I would say my favorite band,
not one of record, the actual my.
Speaker 16 (24:55):
Favorite and this very good classic rock and yeah like Ulouds.
Speaker 7 (25:02):
I would say, you know, back in the nineties, chill
out bands like Enigma or you know like that as
zero seven or I would say, uh, you know like
uh yeah, zero seven Enigma basically mostly and that's it
(25:27):
pretty much.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Yeah, I like, I like your the array of different inspirations.
It's not just hip hop.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
But you know, there's rock elements in your music. I
mean your instrummentation as well itself. You have flute, piano, rock, guitar,
Middle Eastern melodies all layered in.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
So I should have known there was more to the pie.
So let let's talk about your roots in Israbel. What's
something people that where.
Speaker 5 (25:57):
Starting talking with this and that that's just just a
single that you're hurt so far you heard.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
No I have not okay in.
Speaker 5 (26:07):
That you got some pretty good you know, like uh violentce.
You know, it's like classical violence, not classical, but I
would say, like very like historical violence. It's pretty good.
Speaker 6 (26:20):
And uh and.
Speaker 5 (26:27):
Yeah, you know, like, uh, you haven't heard nothing because
you know, when.
Speaker 7 (26:32):
When the whole album comes out and it's gonna be released,
then you're going to hear the real instrumentations of the
whole album.
Speaker 5 (26:39):
So that's gonna be the whole package, you know. Uh, yeah,
it's an experience of a.
Speaker 16 (26:44):
Lot of years and yeah, you know, eventually and essentially like, uh,
it's gonna be a real like a lot of instrumentations involved,
so you know, like, you know, I can't reveal that much.
Speaker 5 (26:57):
I revealed enough to you know. Yeah, but yeah, it's
you know, and.
Speaker 7 (27:04):
Of course I'm like prepare, I'm you know, I'm making
like like a concert is going to be like a performance,
like a lunch performance from the album. And yeah, once
the album is dropped, then I'll start to work on that,
you know.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
Yeah. Yeah, And you asked.
Speaker 5 (27:21):
Me talking about my roots in Israel or something.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
Right, Yeah, yeah, yeah, let's talk about your roots in Israel.
What's something that people misunderstand about Israeli hip hop or
is it all the same?
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Hip hop? Is just hip hop?
Speaker 5 (27:41):
The hip hop in Israel is very like they put
it to the side.
Speaker 7 (27:47):
You know, it's not really like a main big thing,
you know, because in Israel, it's like very you know,
the Middle East, it's very conservative region, very conservative place.
Speaker 5 (27:57):
So if you talk.
Speaker 7 (27:59):
You know, any sort of ship like swearing or like,
uh you know about sexual stuff or violent stuff or
some you know, some obscene.
Speaker 5 (28:10):
Words and stuff like that, Oh, you're going to be
disqualified on the place, you know, on the spot. And
it's pretty much it, you know. And uh yeah, I
mean I don't know. It's like, uh, I feel like
Hebrew and English folk.
Speaker 7 (28:30):
I control the both languages, like you know, like like
appropriately much.
Speaker 5 (28:35):
I guess both languages.
Speaker 17 (28:36):
But uh, you know, when you wrap you know in
in Nebrew, it's not really like a big thing because
you know, it's not really so much acceptable over there.
Speaker 5 (28:48):
You know that, Uh it is, but it's not really
a big thing, to be quite honestand.
