American Hip Hop Recording Artist Inertia looks to inspire youth with heartfelt music.

Record producer and hip hop recording artist, Inertia, is gearing for the release his 1^st studio album ‘Misunderstood’ and he’s on mission.

That mission is to make young men and women feel ‘seen’. “There are too many kids who grow up today feeling unseen; feeling like they are not understood,” Says Inertia, “Many of them are intelligent kids, who are afraid to express their true selves in fear of being judged by the masses. I feel this is a serious epidemic and I think I can help through the gift of music!”

Inertia has contributed production for Soulja Boy Tell Em’s The DeAndre Way and was the winner of the ATL iStandard Producer Showcase and Founder of MyPersonalProducer.com.

 “The future of hip-hop is bright and you have a lot of talented artist out here right now. A lot of artists catch heat or bashed for their music not being as good as the last generation. Drake, Meek Mill, J.Cole, Kendrick Lamar and a few others are all amazing and geniuses in their own right.”

He hopes not to recreate hip hop, but to a give a voice to what people are thinking.

His single So Far (N****) has received over 4,000 plays on SoundCloud its release two months ago. The song has gained attention due to the controversial subject matter. “I had an idea to write a song about the word N****. It has become a word that many talk about, but not really talking about the viewpoint from this generation. That’s why I made it. “

Q & A with Regis Prograis

What do you think about the boxing scene in Houston?

I think there is so much tremendous talent here. I'm really blessed to be here and be around the guys that I train around. A lot of my friends and the people I train around are already world champions and I see the work ethic that they put in to be in the position they're in. It’s a great motivator. Just being around them is a big inspiration and lets me know that I can make my dream a reality one day, if I keep doing the things I'm doing and have patience.

 Why did you get into boxing? 

I got into boxing because I was always rough growing up. I actually love fighting. I remember growing up that I would always want a challenge. I'm just a competitor and I like to prove I'm the best. What really made me start boxing was that when I was in high school and played football and the team would always get in the gloves and spar. I started whooping bigger dudes every week. One day the offensive coordinator for the football team came and saw me beating up on one of the seniors and he told me that I didn't have a future in football and that I needed to quit and start boxing. I turned my equipment in the next day and the rest is history. True Story!

How do you feel about the upcoming event in Galveston, Texas?

I'm excited to be fighting back in Texas. I haven't fought here in a while. The last time I fought in Texas was my 4th pro fight in Houston. I'm ready to show everybody how much I have improved since then. New Orleans is always in my heart but Houston is where I live and anytime that I can fight in Texas or Louisiana I consider it a major plus. Galveston is going to be excited on the 28^th.

What motivates you during training?

I just go. I love the sport and I just want to prove that I'm the best and hopefully to one day I am one of the best in the world. In training I never take a round off. I go hard every round from start to finish.

What is it like to get hit by a punch? 

It's really difficult to describe that feeling. I think the worst punches are body shots. They can freeze you and make your body seem paralyzed. When I first begin boxing I actually liked getting hit. I had the macho man mindset that I can take any punch and not be phased by it. But now I'm older and wiser. I’m pretty good now at not getting hit with anything flush. Especially when it comes to head shots!! They can freeze you and make your body seem paralyzed. I try to make my opponents worry about getting hit; I like to cause the pain. 

Regis Prograis is an accomplished amateur boxer with a professional record of 7-0 (5KO).

Regis is scheduled to return to the ring on March 28^th in Galveston, Texas for the Night of Champions promoted by Pope Promotions.

Q & A with Jamal HD

Houston rap artist Jamal HD answers questions about upcoming project and the current hip-hop scene in his home town.

You have a new project coming out this year 14kt Arcadia. Tell us a little bit about it.

It's not an album, it's a EP. At this point since a lot of people are still finding out more about me, an album wouldn't fit well right now.  I still have a lot of content to deliver for free to those who were fans since day one to new fans I'm gaining now. That's the whole point of this project as a entertainer. So others have something to rely on as being a fan. As for the motive of the project it really is just a portrait I've been looking to paint. So many different emotions and sounds clashing around me I had no choice but to make meaning of it. This is that meaning.

 What unique concepts and inspiration did you use for this project?

I reflected on a lot of things that interested me growing up from hood classic movies to 90's pop and dance. I think I was the only one on my block jamming Daft Punk (laughing).But all those things had something in them I never seen put together ever. Those things honestly made me who I am I guess so why not show the world my interpretation.

 What do you think of the state of hip hop the last few years?

Good actually. A lot of more artists are becoming creative. That's progression on any level. Also it’s more vast now. We are starting to have sub-genres which is beautiful to me. Different sounds... different backgrounds.

 Do you see the Houston music scene changing anytime soon?

(Laughing) I don't know man. I see a couple of artists trying to push it forward. I like Propain. Doughbeezy is cool. The city has something to show. Hopefully the world will accept it with open arms instead of just a hometown thing. I'm about forward thinking. Some people outside the city I've met treat Houston as Ancient Rome damn near when it comes to talent. I still get the "you're from Houston, for real?"

when people first hear me spit. That's my fault though my production doesn't do me hometown justice.
