Ya Boy Nephew (6:21:46 PM) : Real Name?
Haben10 (6:21:55 PM) : Charles Haben
Ya Boy Nephew (6:22:00 PM) : How did you come across Influential Melodiez?
Haben10 (6:24:45 PM) : he (young son) said that he liked my stuff that i had up and asked if i wanted to do a collaboration. I said yes and he sent me the beat for "weakest moments". About a week later we met up to record the song... and the rest is history
Ya Boy Nephew (6:25:10 PM) : How and why did you choose your stage name?
Haben10 (6:26:09 PM) : My middle name is Maxwell and thats what I have always gone by. Everyone gets surprised when they find out my name is Charles. I thought about coming up with a different emcee name but I just couldnt find anything that fit so i just stuck with the Natural one .. Max
Ya Boy Nephew (6:26:32 PM) : Whats your favorite bar?
Haben10 (6:26:40 PM) : bar ?
Haben10 (6:26:53 PM) : snickers
Ya Boy Nephew (6:27:07 PM) : lol not candy bar, your favorite bar in a verse.
Haben10 (6:27:20 PM) : by me or someone else
Ya Boy Nephew (6:27:38 PM) : by you.
Haben10 (6:28:37 PM) : Hm I dont like praising my own bars but if I had to choose one I would say " The best dressed lies, cover up the naked truth"
Ya Boy Nephew (6:29:04 PM) : if you could collab with any mc in the world who would it be and why?
Haben10 (6:31:00 PM) : I'd have to say Jay-Z would be amazing but I'd say for an emcee of my style I would say someone like common or Slug would be more realistic
Ya Boy Nephew (6:32:05 PM) : If you could get a free beat from any producer, who would it be?
Haben10 (6:33:33 PM) : I cant pick one thats for sure... Antyhing from DJ premier or J. Dilla would make my life complete... also Id love to see what I could do with a beat from Ant of Atmosphere
Ya Boy Nephew (6:33:58 PM) : Name 3 top influences.
Ya Boy Nephew (6:34:30 PM) : (4 more questions and i'm threw)
Haben10 (6:36:33 PM) : My Environment, My experiences, and Lupe Fiasco... THere are so many artistst that have influenced me but none more than Lupe he just caught me at the right time
Ya Boy Nephew (6:37:23 PM) : If you can take a rap deal would you?
Haben10 (6:43:23 PM) : Well its all hypothetical because you have to be carefull... It sure would be hard to turn down a major label but thats not always the rig ht decision especially in this day and age alot of artists are workin on the Independant Level so yea I mean it would depend on the situation but right now im focusin on tryin to bring up I. Melodiez with Mr. Young Son
Ya Boy Nephew (6:43:58 PM) : Are we expecting anything from you soon?
Haben10 (6:46:45 PM) : yea Ive been workin on alot lately ... i wanna have a cd out by the end of the summer/beginning of fall but Ive been running short on beats... but just recently a kid from Boston named Teddy agreed to collab on a project with me which im excited about so you will prolly see that CD out in September
