Location: St.Rose, LA
Mixtape: Addiction
Label: Street Vendetta Records
Artist(s): ATM (Addicted To Money)
With warning shots fired and the competition ears open, ATM hit the streets and the web with their latest song, and as of recent, video for Ring The Alarm feat. Mic Ill. To date, the song has gotten over 600 DL's, and the video over 400 views. 2twenty2Media caught up with Dynasty Da Franchize to find out more about the ATM grind, the warm reception they've gotten, and their upcoming project Addicted.
Tell the pple where ur from.
From a small city with a lot of talent called St.Rose.
Who does ATM consist of?
ATM consist of me Dynasty Da Franchize (CEO), young Flo, young Sp and Breeze.
How did y'all come together?
I started the label Street Vendetta Rec back in 2005. We all went to high school together. Young Flo and SP were there from the start. Breeze is the newest member, joined in 2010.
Ring The Alarm..how did this track come to be?
Just Hearing the instrumental! As soon as I heard the sirens it came to me, almost instantly.
Uve been going hard with the Twitter promo of the song and video, why was this the chosen song to run with off Addiction?
We chose this track because it's different. Thought we'd change it up. Give our audience something new to hear.
What best describes the overall message of Ring The Alarm?
ATM is comin! And we comin hard. Nobody's safe.
The videos gotten a little under 500 views in the short times its been up, how's the overall reception of the song and video been?
Overall feedback of the song and video were very good. When the track released it got over 600 downloads, it was a shock to us.
Who directed the video?
SYKO Studios directed the video. Wildchild and A.Waltz are definitely making a name for themselves with their productions.
Let's get to the mixtape, when we first spoke there was no set release date..has that changed or is the release still in the works?
The mixtape "Addiction" has now been set to release April 24, Easter Sunday.
How many tracks can we look for when the project drops?
Between 15-19. More tracks have been recorded but only what we feel is our best will make the cut.
Will Addiction feature industry beats, origional beats or a mixture of both?
No industry beats. All original. Some we personally own copyrights to and others we don't.
As far as tone and content matter, what can we expect to hear on Addicted?
U Can expect to hear creativity. As far as content a little bit of everything. Very versatile.
How would u describe the type of music u make?
Crack. Addiction is guaranteed. Rehab unwanted.
When u hear a track, write ur rap, and step behind the mic to deliver, what do u want to convey to those who listen to u now and to future new listeners?
That this is not just music. This is our life. We put everything into every track. U can hear the dedication, we have what it takes to make it.
Before we wrap, is there anything that might've been missed that u want our readers to know?
Yes, We were represented as "fetti gang" we had a lot of success under that name. We are now ATM (addicted to money). The name change came because of an Atlanta based rap group with the same. Street vendetta is the LABEL and ATM is the movement!

When it comes to the promotion of an artist, in any genre, one of the most important elements is the song visual, aka the music video. Videographers have been here since the dawn of lyrics, and with artist evolution we get videographer evolution. Enter into the room Big Chance aka CRG Films. He's the man behind all the visuals for one of New Orleans hottest indy rappers, Lil Dee. If for some reason ur unfamiliar with who Lil Dee is, when u come into New Orleans he's the guy on the billboard welcoming u. Even though CRG Films has only been doing videos a little over a year, u'd think he' been behind the camera for years..his work is that good. As they say, numbers dont lie, and CRG Films accumulating views in the thousands is proof that this guy is a force in the indy visual game..most simply put DUDES A BEAST.
Introduce urself to the people.
I am Chance, most ppl call me Big Chance I am CRG Films.
Where r u from and how long have u been creating visuals?
I'm from New Orleans, specifically the Westbank, and it's been a lil over a year since i've been doing videography.
Is it something that just fell into ur lap or has doing videos been something u've always wanted to do?
Well, it kind of just fell in my lap. I would always tape Lil Dee's performances whenever he performed and I think one day we was just hanging around & somehow someone said I should start doing videos so I think like the next couple of days my first video "Play My Song" ft. Lil Dee, Twinn, & Fatt Kidd aka Filnobep, and people really liked it and said I have a great eye for the camera so i stuck with it.
As Lil Dee's camera man do u come up with all video concepts or is it a colaborated effort?
It really all depends, sometimes I will listen to a song and an idea will pop up in my head I will tell Dee what I'm thinking and go on from there. Other times Dee will have something in his head for a video for a song and then we will brainstorm. So to answer your question, yes it's a collaborated effort lol.
Is there a method u use when coming up with concepts for videos?
It's all in my head, the video will play in my head before I create it. I JUST started writing down my thoughts and creating treatments for videos.
Dee calls u up on Monday and says yo I wanna do a video for such and such song, how long b4 u have the treatment ready and y'all shooting?
A week or two, it all depends on what type of song and what's needed in the video. Location, actors, etc. some videos were on the spot let's go shoot a video right now type of deal lol that "Off The Wall Wednesday 9" happened like that.
When u come from behind the camera and sit down to edit, what is the point that u wanna get across with the video?
Just to make sure it's not boring and matches up with the song well.
What would u say is the hardest task to accomplish as a videographer?
Hmmmm maybe the hardest thing for me is taking out the time to sit down and edit because of the schedule I have with still working a 9 to 5 and traveling with Lil Dee.
Do u feel the videographer gets the verbal respect and recognition he deserves?
Not at all, I don't think people matter fact I know that people don't realize how much time and effort goes into these videos. Many hours goes into editing and planning the videos.
Top 5 directors in ur mind, who are they?
I don't think I have 5 I could give u 3 lol Chris Robinson, Spike Lee and Mikael Colombu.
U've been accumulation mad views on ur videos, how does it feel when u post and come back 2 days later and have over 1000 views?
It feels great, knowing that I'm not just doing this for my health and people really watching and loving my work. It means the world to me.
I've been following u a while on twitter and we frequently chop it up, ur a real down to earth, spiritual and humble dude, how has those characteristics aided u n this "video game"?
I'm easy to talk to i guess? lol I'm not "bigheaded" so it helps for someone like yourself that doesn't know me outside the "video game" to approach me.
I see u recently started promoting ur blogspot, what kind of content can we look for on that site?
U can look for all my videos and photography that I do. Yes I do; I just got into photography as well.
Any advice u wanna give to any up and coming videographers that may be reading this?
The more u do the more u learn, what u put into it u will get back.
If someone wants to contact u for some videos or some event pictures how can they get in contact with u? twitter.com/crg_films or my email crgfilms@gmail.com
As always its good runnin it with u, is there anything I missed that u wanna let our readers know?
CRG Films is often thought of being named after my intials, but it's actually named after my lil brother who passed a couple years ago and I do everything to keep his name alive using CRG Films.

With less than a week until the release of Boogie Nights, 2twenty2 caught up with Bang Boogie to find out what we can expect from this release, her take on the game from a female standpoint, and a few other things that go on in the mind of this Fort Myers resident. Take a minute to get to know the fem'cee who goes by the name Bang Boogie, because in case u didn't know, 2011 is the year of the "Boogie Oogie".
1st off let everyone where ur from,
I'm from Fort Myers, Florida.
So the new mixtape, Boogie Nights, is this ur 1st go round?
I've had previous mixtapes, the most recent "Off Safety".
When can we expect that release?
Boogie Nights coming Feb 12 2011.
How long have u been rapping?
I've been rappin since I was just a lil yungin at 9.
How's the feedback and support uve been getting lately been?
Let's just say I've gotten way more yays than nays.
How would u describe ur rap style?
My rap style is that Boogie oogie.
Its no secret that the game is male dominated but we are seeing an abundance of fem'cees making their voices herd, how do u set ur self apart from the pack?
I have that unisexual flow, something both genders can relate to.
Let's say I got a beat and room for u and 2 other artists to get on it..who would those 2 other artists be?
Gimmie Kanye & Alicia Keys, we'd make magic.
Who do u look up to in this game, whether it be business wise or rap?
I look up to business minded, creative spirits who aren't afraid to express themselves.
Do u often find pple putting u in the "but" catagory, IE she's a good rapper BUT....?
Actually, no. I've been put in the "for" category though. the "she's good FOR a female" argument.
How do u handle the doubters/haters?
Haters don't get handled, I'm all love. if you're not supporting me & giving out positivity you will be ignored.
Back to the mixtape..what kind of material can we expect to hear?
You can expect to hear something you haven't heard before. it's def music you can fly to.
Have u narrowed down how many tracks ur gonna bless us with?
It's going to have 10 tracks, all originals.
2 reasons we should cop Boogie Nights..GO!!
2 reasons : because GOOD music is hard to come by these days & I got that crackola for the feins.
Anything I missed that u want the pple to know?
