Check out our latest exclusive interview with Aych on his upcoming project, 1000 Crowns. We speak on everything from his project, life and artist relationships in this candid conversation with one of Tampa's own Hip Hop Kings.

From the streets of Queens, NY to the sun-bathed population of Tampa, FL; most of you should have already heard of that one they call "the femcee." Her introduction to the game was definitely a natural progression, and her story is one that increasengly gains movement on Hip Hop's list of the most beloved emcees of the time. Her feminine swag is matched by her ability to engage a crowd in her very own story within a culture that most had thought lost honor and dignity.

We caught up to Dynasty and had her agree to share some thoughts with us, and answer some questions that we could provide our readers. We asked her how her journey has been since her proclaimed "awakening" into the local arena, when she performed at a Little Brother show in the historic Ybor City District of Tampa Bay.

BSR: So, tell us how has your journey been from the Little Brother show in Ybor to now?

DY: WOW. My journey has been amazing, and, it's still just the beginning. The Little Brother show was where Tampa started paying attention, and they haven't stopped showing love since! :-) Since then, I've had two singles on major radio, opened for Wu-Tang, KRS-One, AZ & Cormega; and [we] had an unbelievable turnout for the "Dreampusher" release party. So yea, it's been amazing! :-)

BSR: What started you rhyming prior to then when you lived in Queens? Any favorite throwback emcees?

DY: Well, it was just something I started doing because the boys were doing it. Me and my girls would take rhymes and switch them up to make it our own. My favorite group at that time was Das EFX. All I wanted for gifts were Das EFX tapes. (LOL!) After a while, I realized that I was pretty good at it, and once I got a taste of the stage, it was a wrap!

BSR: What lessons have been the hardest to learn for you in this game?

DY: The hardest lesson was that this thing really takes work! It's not just about being a dope emcee; (and) just because you're good at one aspect of it, doesn't automatically make you good at another (aspect). For example, recording was never natural for me. I always considered myself a PERFORMING artist (because) THAT comes naturally (for me). Standing in a booth, in front of a mic, not so much. That really took work for me to conquer, and I still feel that I have work to do, but I am growing.

BSR: What is a victorious moment, and what is a dissappointing moment you have had at a show?

DY: A victorious moment at a show --- I rocked the Wu-Tang crowd, which was a tough crowd. (LOL) I saw them boo the act before me. Well, they didn't boo - they started chanting, "WU-TANG!, WU-TANG!" 1000 plus people chanting, "Wu-Tang!" in the middle of the act's set!?!? Well, i went on the stage and said, "Let me hear you say WU-TANG! WU-TANG!" and got them ALL chanting. Then I said, "Good, I saw what you did to that last dude. Now that you've got that out of your system, we can start the show!" They went CRAZY! After that, it was smooth sailing! =)

(I haven't really had a disappointing moment at a show… sorry!!)

BSR: So, being from Queens, how do you feel the music in Tampa differentiates from your hometown?

DY: They have quite a few artists down here doing Jook music, which is different than what we do up north. But, truthfully, Tampa is a melting pot and a lot of people are here from all over (the place). So, it's a nice variety in the music scene here, not just in Hip Hop, but ALL genres.

BSR: Since everyone keeps asking this, we felt we probably should appease the masses but ask it a bit differently. Where do you see Hip Hop heading in regards to production, lyricism and the business as a whole?

DY: I'm not really one to speak to much on the business side. My concern lies with the art itself, and right now I see people looking for a little more variety. The dance music is cool, the money, hoe's and clothes flow is still alive and well; but people are looking for MORE. I think people embracing artists like Jay Electronica is evidence of that.

BSR: So, who's spinning in that music list of yours these days?

DY: Oh man! My music list is so random!!! It will go from Erykah (Badu), John Mayer, Mos Def, Gladys Knight, Adele, to Slaughterhouse. (LOL!) Whatever I am in the mood for, I find it… and listen.

BSR: Who has shaped your experience thus far? Is there anyone who has had an impact on your style, approach or views?

DY: The artists who influence my views are artists who are true to themselves like Erykah Badu and Mos Def; and the list grows as I'm exposed to more music. Any artist who doesn't compromise who they are to appease anyone impacts me. Authentic artists encourage me to keep doin' what I do!

BSR: How did the "Dreampusher" concept come about?

DY: I felt that this project was my introduction to the world, and I needed to let people know who I am. A "Li'l brown girl from queens with big dreams." I'm a "dreampusher", doing what I have to do day to day to get by, but I know where my heart lies and what my dreams are. That's what I push for.

BSR: So, when can we expect the LP? Any signs of that in the horizon?

DY: There is no date set yet. We just dropped "Dreampusher," and the feedback has been overwhelming. So, we are running with that for now. The world has to hear "Dreampusher" before the album drops!! Well… most of the world at least. :-)

BSR: So, are you keeping it independent, going for a signed deal or not sure yet?

DY: It's all up in the air right now. =) It's about making GOOD MUSIC and connecting with the people. I live for the stage, but don't get it twisted, my team handles biz! (LOL!)

BSR: What would you say to any aspiring artist in this Hip Hop game?

DY: You already know what I'm going to say… keep Pushin'! I know that may sound cliché to some, but it is TRULY my mantra and it gets me through everything. Pushin' forward has brought me to where I am now, and it's going to take me far beyond here. This is just a stepping stone.

BSR: Any other thoughts, shoutouts, etc?

DY: Shouts to my team, TEAM DY. Sandman, Jinx, Deacon, DJ Fader (The Rotten Orange), and anyone who supports me in pushin' for my dream. I appreciate you! Be sure to stay in touch at thefemcee.com and http://facebook.com/thefemcee!

Eghosa Igbinosun, better known as Ghos WryTer was born and raised here in Tampa, FL (Timberlane). The best way to describe this man is simply unique. From his lyrics to his swag he definitely leaves his mark in the independent hip-hop game. With his favorite line being "Pay attention and watch me" we have no choice but to follow his rise to the top!

I'm sitting here with Ghos and producer Wally Clark discussing the making of Ghos WryTer.

BSR: I gotta ask where did your name come from?

Eghosa Igbinosun means God's time is the best. Ghos WryTer came from my first name. My dad actually wanted to name me Paul and he's the African!

BSR: When did you first start rhyming?

Looks at Wally and asked, "What were we on the bus nigga?" I started when I was like 12, when I missed the bus back home; when I was listening to bone thugs. I didn't even know who Pac was. I was in and outta Tampa nigga.

BSR: What or who would you say is your biggest influence to date?

This nigga! (points at Wally Clark)

BSR: Where do you draw your inspiration for your songs?

My head. (laughs) I don't know…. real life! I write about what I have lived, what I have seen, and what I been through. I try to keep it 100.

BSR: Who do you consider to be your favorite artists?

Jay-Z, Eminem, Fab, Joe Budden, Dipset, Talib Kweli, Mos Def and Xzibit

BSR: What's playing in your car right now ?

Kendrick Lamar

BSR: What message are you putting out there with your music?

PAY ATTENTION AND WATCH ME! The message will come through if they pay attention and watch me.

BSR: If given the chance to collab with anyone who would it be?

D.J Premier. His beats are fuckin crazy. They make you wanna rap. No, they don't even make you wanna rap they make you wanna write. It aint a whole bunch of drops, synths, hand claps, chants and stanky leg shit like that … Oh my bad I ain't going no further.

BSR: Are there any past experiences that you draw from for your songs?

My father is African so I feel like I have to have something to say… I should have something to say because he taught me better. My mother passed when I was younger. She told me go forward with my music. Also going to prison and listening to the trash around me; listening to the radio. Wally made me start writing and he told me to stop bullshittin and start writing shit down."Imma start eatin niggas they ain't ready for me!"

BSR: What sets you apart from Tampa artists?

Fuckin look at me… listen to me.. What sets me apart from the niggas in Tampa? I don't even look like I'm from here. No disrespect to the Tampa artists but I'm not normal. I'm not the average Tampa artist.

BSR: What do you bring to the table that you feel others can't?

Versatility, Lyrics, Personality, Uniqueness and last but not least that mutha fuckin gangsta shit!

BSR: When you get on stage to perform, what are you giving to the crowd?

ME. This isn't no character. This isn't no thought up idea. This is me. Half the time I think about what imma do on stage but it always comes out different. This is me G-H-O-S . Tell your mom about it!

BSR: What makes you think you can hang with these Tampa artists.

Whose to say they not tryna hang with me ? I mean like REALLY? Should I really be controversial right now.. I mean come on now.. "I'm on it…My shoes match my shirt." I mean shouldn't they? Didn't your mom teach you that? Please don't beat me up when you see me in the club! (with the illest serious face) Because I can't fight! But nah… actual dudes that are born and raised in Tampa actually put it on.

BSR: How do you feel about the younger generation coming out now?

With the younger dudes it's our responsibility to show them to step up. My obstacles should be their stepping-stone. The world is run by dudes in the background. You don't really know who is running the world. We should be able to teach the newer generation how to step it up!

Street Ways, formally known as Michael Ortiz was born in Blue Island, IL. and raised in Tampa, FL. Street Ways is seen as an incredibly talented performer. His stage presence speaks for itself. Having a few bumps in the road here and there has not yet stopped him from pushing to where he wants to be. According to Street Ways, a year in jail made this young artist truly believe in his talent; allowing him to hone in on his skills and love for hip-hop. As all artists usually are, he has his egotistic ways about him. He says, "If I was a DJ or a promoter I would be looking for the artist that wants to raise the bar but instead they want the guy who can raise their bar and that's not me!"
