T.Z. DUHH has been steadily making a name for himself with impressive tracks like 'Dedicated' and 'Proud Of Me.' We took a moment to ask the rapidly rising artist a few questions about his inspiration and motivation.
-‘Dedicated’ is a really intense and powerful track. Can you tell us a little about the inspiration behind it?
Well the song’s inspiration comes form Lil Wayne’s Dedication 2, which is one of my favorite projects of all time. I just feel like I have dedicated so much to this music life that I rather go as far as I can and fail rather then if I were to quit. It would be a waste of time rather time if I quit instead of giving my all to it.
-How has the social unrest of the last few years change you as an artist and an individual?
Well it just made me change the way I do things. I look at any challenge as just another thing that has to be dealt with. When facing any adversity you have to knuckle up and take that shit on straight forward or risk failure.
-If you could collaborate with any artist, living or dead, who would it be?
Lil Wayne, Lupe Fiasco, Future, or Schoolboy Q. Freddie Gibbs was on the list, but we already did a song together.
-What is the core message you want to share with your audience through music?
Never give up if you really want it to work. You can literally do anything if you grind hard enough and I only aim to inspire and motivate.
