RESPECT. Interview: Breezepark Speaks On The Success Of Virginia Music Artists & Their Upcoming Album

 We recently sat down with Virginia-based collective Breezepark. We talked about Virginia’s music scene, success, their recent visual for “Stay Up Late,” and more. In case you never heard of them, the four-member collective has received a cosign from VA’s finest, Pusha T, so they’re well on their way.

BP: “Yeah absolutely! We’re coming off the release of our debut project “Strangers EP” and definitely enjoying watching it move and reach new ears.“

BP: “For sure, the visual for “Stay Up Late” gave fans a peek at the energy we were going for and gave them a taste of what to expect somewhat. As much as it could at least, the project is really intricate and has a few layers to it as far as sound and concept, so we hope to have surprised everyone with it, but “SUL” definitely was that first glimpse for everyone and got people really excited.“

BP: “Beyond excited. We were looking forward to seeing how people were gonna react to that first project from us. After all the work we put into it, it was a huge day for us to be able to hand it over to the fans. Definitely a rewarding feeling and we already can’t wait for the next project.“ (Laughs)

BP: “We reached out to him through email actually and he was down to work with us, so over a few weeks we put together this crazy beat with him back and forth via email, next thing you know we had an even crazier song!“

BP: “Well we were down here working on the final layers of “Strangers'”and he was doing some shows up in Chicago at the time, so he made the beat up there and we recorded it in our home studio in Rye’s house in Suffolk.“

BP: “Virginia has always been a home to artists. Great ones at that. What’s happening in VA now is that people are finally giving it the credit that it deserves because there’s so much talent here, man. It’s really crazy right now especially with those names you mentioned and more. We’re happy to see artists make strides and put on for VA because the talent out here needs to be recognized for sure.“

BP: “We wanna do everything to be honest. Once we establish the music and take our steps musically, we’re always down to expand our horizons and express ourselves in any way possible.“ 

BP: “On a current note, we’re always watching new artists, so we’re super into what artists like Goldlink, Mick Jenkins, Hurt Everybody, and Alex Wiley are doing right now.“

BP: “It’s funny you ask because we do actually have some individual things in the works at the moment. Ty Safari is working on his project ‘Transactions” and that should be coming soon. Some other things are in the works too, so be on the look out.“
