Rappfox had a quick Q&A with Map Fap Entertainment head honcho and local rapper Bluntfield in the lead up to the Fringe Festival showcase, MadFappaMania II. The rapper also talks about his success in 2017 and what he's got in store for 2018.
Hi Bluntfield, thanks for taking time out for this interview.
Hey, thanks for having me!
You had a big year last year, lots of shows, an album release, how are you feeling about 2018?
Yeah last year was awesome in terms of bucket list and goals ticked off that were set at the start of the year, getting to tour and support with some of my personal influential emcees was super inspiring and a taste of what could be with the right hustle. 2018 is looking to be another step up in the right direction, we’ve begun pre-production on the first music video off the upcoming full length album and I’m motivated to put out the best material to date, along with planting seeds in other areas indirect to the music itself.
Mad Fap has another showcase at Fringe Festival, MadFappaMania II, what work went into creating this showcase?
Perth has a very vibrant and assorted collection of performers across the board genre-wise and to carry on from last years MadFappaMania we want to showcase a wide range of artists in a short-set/ADD friendly format. It’s a lot of work and man-hours to manifest but being fans of everyone involved and scouring the 750+ shows over Fringe Season we are proud to have an original event with a completely unique line-up…plus I love the brutality and vulgarity of the Battle Roasts!
What can punters expect from the show?
Expect a rapid-fire ensemble of guests and performers from not just Hip Hop but Acoustic, Burlesque, Comedy, Roots and Metal. The show itself is main evented by the Battle Roast Championships – An elimination tournament hybrid of comedy roasting, freestyle, battle rap and pro-wrestling. If you’re offended easily the Battle Roasts willl probably rub you the wrong way but everyone involved is cool with each other so there’s no bad vibes, just verbal violence. You’ll probably also be exposed to new artists and performers you’ve never seen before!
What else does Bluntfield have in store for 2018?
The second full length album The Break Out entirely produced by Rob Shaker drops this year and has some awesome features, expect a trickle of singles and music videos in the lead up to the release. I’ll be supporting Merkules on March 2nd, ChronicFest III on April 20th, a regional show in May and the first East Coast tour to be announced in the near future. The juice though is in The Break Out, can’t wait to get it out there!
