Interview: Squincy Jones

Alright folks, meet my main man Squincy. I actually went to high school with this dude. He’s cool, talented as fuck and about as tall as they come. But seriously, his Nintendub mixtape is incredible and he’s got plans for a sequel. If you’re ever in Houston, holler and we’ll grab drinks and watch Too Tall Squincy do his damn thing. Now enjoy the read as it actually sounds like him. Oh and shouts to Ray of GC. What up Three!

Squincy Jones - Houston Texas

Roby: First off, let all these people know how tall you are. It’s at least 14 feet.

Squincy: Actually im 6′4, but i’m due for another spurt soon.

Roby: So how long have you been doing your thing?

Squincy: Define thing? My pog thing? Dj thing? Blog thing? Mortal Kombat thing?
My pog thing not so much anymore CAUSE THAT SHITS PLAYED OUT SON!
I’ve been djing for 10 years, blogging for like 2 days ( awwready.com )
AND I WILL TAKE ANYONE OUT IN MORTAL KOMBAT WORD IS GOLD BOND!

Roby: When did you first realize that you wanted to make music?

Squincy: In Middle School or High School I first heard Preemptive Strike by Dj Shadow. The album is mad chill and just relaxed the shit out of me every time I listened to it. I haven’t made much original material YET, but eventually when I have time to sit down and get along with a program that likes me and will let me make stuff on it, i’ll go down in the history books as the most worstest unoriginal composer ever.

Roby: Do you have any piece of work that stands out as the greatest?

Squincy: Yesh. My mixtape Nintendub.

I had a lot of fun making it. I still get buck to it in my car now and then. I think the flow and buck factor of it make me really proud. And yes I will make a sequel eventually. SUPER NINTENDUB COMING TO YOUR INTERTRON SOON.

Roby: What are some of your biggest inspirations?

Squincy: My Mom is the driving force behind my obsession for music. When I was a wee Squincy, my Mom and I would roll around going hamburger listening to music in the car. She would always quiz me and stuff making me memorize songs and band names and thangs. Thanks Momma! Also, things that suck inspire me to not suck. I just make sure I don’t suck as bad as sucky things and maintain my steady momentum of awesomeness and i’m good and inspired.

Roby: Do you have anything besides music that you’re really passionate about?

Squincy: Food. Expanding my horrible DVD collection. Smelling good. Being awesome.

Roby: So, if you could drop everything and become any rapper in the world, who would it be?

Squincy: One thats not in jail. GUCCI! Prolly Reh Dogg…..we’re pretty much already the same person, except he raps.

Roby: What are some brands that you really like?

Squincy: Desired Hearts DUH! Gold Coin (WHAT UP RAYYYYYY!?!)  Ummm Durkl, Mishka, Sixpack.fr I like bugged out designs. Dumb things that make me laugh, videogames, i’m a nerd so NERDNESS. Not a fan of naked ass broads on shirts. (Although I am a fan of the naked ass broads.) GUCCI!

As far as grown man brands….POLO F THAT HILFIGER, Uniqlo, J Crew, Gucci, Gap, Louis V, Old Navy, whatever girls think is handsome.

Roby: Squince, thanks for taking time to chat. Now’s the time to let everyone know where to find you.

Squincy Jones: I do a bi-weekly at Boondocks called RAISE IT UP (1st & 3rd Thursdays) w/ my SPKRBXX fam, Dayta and Elroy. Raise It Up is us goofing off on 4 turntables usually, just trying to get it in on a Thursday. GNAR MEAN?

Saturdays, I’m resident along w/ Gracie Chavez @ The Lot on Washington. We play a lot of current Radio stuff, Rap, Rock, House, Dancehall whatever. Basically like a house party, minus a yellowbone with a rad haircut… and like infinity girls in tight shorts. GUCCI!

Also, you can find me dropping dubstep @ Gritsy every other month. Gritsy is Houston’s Premier Dubstep Party. Sound system is ALWAYS on point. We just had Joker play this past weekend and it was amaaazinggggggggg.

Roby: Any last words?

Squincy: Shout out to my Momma and Poppa and all my families – SPKRBXX / GRITSY / DIRB! / GOLD COIN
