Here’s another exclusive MusicOnPlay interview! This time Chris interviewed the up and coming producer David E Beats.

Check it out after the jump!

Chris: So who is David E. Beats? That can’t be your real name is it? Lol…

David: No its not, lol. My real name is David Earl Long, but I was called David E when I started rapping, and when I made beats, then it changed to David E Beats.

Chris: So i understand you possess a lot of talent. You play the guitar, sing, and produce. How would you describe your ability to do all these things effectively?

David: Well, i rap, produce, and play guitar, and being able to do all effectively means that I spend alot of time practicing. I focus on one at a time, until I master the style that i have created for each skill. I focus on sounding like David E Beats, not like Jimi Hendrix or Swizz Beats.

Chris: Do you find it easier that you are able to do all these things? Can you just record a beat, and then know exactly what you want to say?

David: Knowing how to do so many things does make the recording process easier. I dont have to rely on other musicians; I can relay my thoughts directly onto the track the way I want them.

Chris: Yo u watchin this game? Your from the D.C. area, and are now in N.Y. Who do you thinks gonna win this game, the Redskins or the Giants?

David: Honestly, I dont watch TV. All my time is spent either practicing, writing, or working on my career. And I am NOT a skins fan, so I will say the Giants, lol.

Chris: Yo you got this track, “Over Here.” Its got a crazyyy mix of sound. What kind of thought goes into the tracks you record and produce?

David: When I produce and record a record I just think of what it is I want to say. Then after that it is simply putting the sounds together in a cohesive way. I have always been a fan of instrumentally big sounding records. And that is usually the sound I aim for when I produce a record.

Chris: We about to wrap up the year. What’s left on the plate for David E. Beats?

David: Just doing alot of shows at the moment. I am in the process of preparing for bigger things, essentially stepping my game up to a more professional level. I am working with my team on developing me fully as an artist, then working on my credintials in the press and performance stage.

Chris: Ok, cool man. So what plans do you have this New Years? Any resolutions?

David: My only resolution is to constantly move forward in my career. For New Years i plan to just hang out with my Girl and a bottle of champagne!

Chris: I know thats rite. Im bout to get 2 bottles. Any projects coming next year?
