<\/a><\/p>\nTraditionally the Rag N Bone Man\u00a0was an individual who made a living from collecting the discarded debris of urban life to sell to scrape by a sort of living. Fast forward to 2014 and the moniker has a completely different meaning.<\/p>\n
We fell completely in love with Brighton’s Rag’N’Bone Man as soon as we heard his ‘Bluestown EP<\/em>‘ a couple of years ago and were thrilled when he announced the release of the free download of\u00a0‘Wolves’<\/em> over on his soundcloud this Summer. Still deeply rooted within his love for the hip-hop genre, the original sound remains true to his love of blues while nodding a head to the hip-hop culture that embraced him. We sat down with the man himself to find out a little bit more.<\/p>\n Tell us your journey? When did you first fall in love with the idea of being \u00a0full-time musician?<\/strong><\/p>\n Honestly, the first time I saw people mouthing the words to my songs I was like “right this is it”<\/em>. As soon as it dawned on me that I could have that affect I new.<\/p>\n Brighton is an incredible creative hub for emerging talent – how has the city shaped your work and influenced you as an artist?<\/strong><\/p>\n I love Brighton. It gave me the platform I needed. I’m friends with so many talented people that have in one way or another had a part in my musical journey so far so I have a lot of people to thank.<\/p>\n Are there any cool places you\u2019d go to in Brighton for the best undiscovered talent?<\/strong><\/p>\n It depends on what your into I guess. If you like hip hop then definitely Slip Jam B at the Prince Albert. Also you should go to a gig at the concorde2, I’ve been lucky enough to perform there a few times and It’s by far my favourite venue.<\/p>\n Who inspires you to create the kind of music that we\u2019re starting to hear from you?<\/strong><\/p>\n The prospect of creating something that people haven’t herd before. Being an artist that can have influence on others. That’s very appealing to me<\/p>\n If you could collaborate with any other musician – dead or alive, on any of your tracks – who would be your first choice?<\/strong><\/p>\n This is a question I’ve answered on numerous occasions and it’s always different. Today I’m going say WU Tang Clan (with ODB).<\/p>\n \u2026and what do you think the outcome would sound like?<\/strong><\/p>\n Like rainbows & unicorns<\/p>\n Are there any emerging taken \/ bands that you\u2019re really championing at the moment?<\/strong><\/p>\n There’s a collective of mcs and producer called (Problem Child) made up of Dabble , Sumgi, Illaman & Doubledge. They are amazing live<\/p>\n Tell us more about the new EP \u2018Wolves\u2019?<\/strong><\/p>\n It’s a body of work that started with Rubens train about a year ago and escalated into a full on project, produced solely by my mates Mark Crew & Dan Priddy. We are all very proud of it.<\/p>\n
