interview by Mark Lewis
state your name: Sankofa AKA erehwoN naM
interests? Killing time at the library, hanging out with friends the few times I leave my hometown.
The face you make in the mirror? I make a serious face to get the bags out from under my eyes.
Favorite people to work with? Any of my friends that are dope - Ognihs, Manic Depressive
I know you mentioned being able to purchase some quality lunch meat once in a blue moon...what are some other benefits of being Sankofa? Having a group of friends involved in music who have proved themselves to be reliable, thus shucking the typical "hip hop is full of broken promise makers" arena. But, from a grocery standpoint, I'd have to say...imitation crab meat, tubs of yogurt (prolly peach or strawberry), and toothpicks. I'm bummed i didn't bring my toothpick holder with me on this trip out to CA, it sucks to get stabbed in the leg but a pocketful of toothpicks
Now I would like to address your role as camera man at the local access show... Pretty straightforward, I interviewed with the volunteer services lady at my local library (libraries are dope), took a couple workshops and was then put on a list of volunteer camera workers who show organizers could call. I've taped old poets, swing bands, gospel choirs, a born again nurse, a funny talent show host's program, a rapper.
Do they blow up your pager? Dude, I doubt I will ever get a beeper-if people want to get a hold of me, they can call and leave a message or e-mail me, I don't like the idea of being at the beck and call. If I'm away, it's probably for a reason
How did we meet and do you regret it? Honestly man, I know a few things about you, but not how we met
What do you know? San Diego, liked sa2 more than wcc, hopes I'm working with SA for chunk of my solo, artist, just turned 18, dabbles in beats when not disillusioned, didn't do so hot at school because you didn't like the system-not because you couldn't easily do the work, it'd cost you 400 bucks to get to scribble jam..
upcoming projects? Rosetta Stone baby! Thanks to not only those who have taken time to listen to the music my friends and I have done, but those who have taken the time and effort to work with me on that music.
current listening choice? tracks off the new JON?DOE album
That's all I have thank you my friend! Kosher.
where can we buy the music? OA-supersmall run (maybe I'll make some more for scribble), some at access music (SD), Below the Surface (bay area) and hiphopinfinity.com
