Interview: ANTI-POP CONSORTIUM'S H-PRIZM

H-Prizm aka High Priest is the smokey voiced uber-cool high rap scientist of the polymathematically dope group that is Anti-Pop Consortium. For those that don't know; make sure you check out the digi-bounce, unorthodox accompanied flows, supremely brought forward on neck snapping singles such as Volcano and Apparently from their latest album Fluorescent Black (Big Dada).

Perry Dominoes caught up with HP for a swift-blade interview in run-up to their forthcoming shows in the UK.

What is your concept of the divine/God and what role does this have in your life? Our appreciation of the small things in life help us grasp a vast concept like the divine.

Who are your favourite superheroes and supervillains? Dr Manhattan, Batman, Daredevil, Stick, Black Goliath, Doom, The Vision, Adam Warlock, Thanos, Spiderman, Black Panther, etc.

What inspires and motivates you to make music now vs. around the time of your first record release? The same thing - having a sound that is individual, impactful and dynamic.

With strange-noize and electro sounds making comfortable ways in mainstream hip-hop and music these days, how are APC approaching the next project in regards to sonically being ‘anti-pop’ – is this imperative/do you care? We have to evolve, show growth and stay committed to innovating.

What is your ideal dinner? A great meal with my family.

If you could score any film, which would it be? The John Coltrane story or A (new) Akira live action Movie.

If you could have any other rapper/singer’s voice, who would it be? Marvin Gaye.

Your house burns down but one record is safe… which is it? My harddrive.

What books have you recommended to anyone else recently? Malcolm X. Manning.

When can we expect the next record? FYaaaahHHHH (Fizzy Womack [of M.O.P. voice)

(Can I somehow find a copy of Shopping Trolleys Crashing?!?!) Come through the show. We got it for cheap.

If you could learn any new skill what would it be? Objective Coding [Objective coding is creating an index of objective summary data from a document, and (if discoverable), would include such information as dates, author, recipient and title – Wikipeda]

What are the best and worst things about this digi-age? Connectivity

Finish this sentence. If you don’t listen to the latest APC record you will-- Miss the mothership.
