The Solediction staff had the pleasure of catching up with an up-and-coming hip-hop artist that is taking the genre by storm - Phil Adé. With already two successful mixtapes under his belt, there seems to be nothing stopping the 368 Music Group-rep from making it to the top. Representing DC, Maryland, and Virginia (DMV), Phil looks to bring attention to an area that has yet to receive credit in the rap community like other metropolitan cities; such as NYC, Atlanta, and Miami.

Thanks for taking the time out of your busy schedule to participate in this feature. For the readers who aren’t familiar, who is Phil Ade & when did he begin rapping?

I’m a hip hop artist from the DC Metropolitan area… better known as “DMV” signed to Raheem DeVaughn and Andre Hopson’s 368 Music Group. I started rapping when I was 17 in my Junior year of high school.
Each of us all have our own lanes, with each artist you get something different… With me you get a little bit of everything, rapping and singing. Being able to do both makes it easier for me to try a wide range of things creatively. The word I use to describe my sound is international. There’s something for everybody in my music.

We had the privillage of watching you perform at the Sneaker Pimps event last year in Washington DC with some notable names. How does it feel to perform back at home?
It feels great! To be able to share the stage with artists like the Clipse, J.Cole, and Wale and do it right in your backyard where you have the most support. You won’t get that feeling anywhere else.

Being that you’re the first signed artist to the 368 Music Group, do you feel any pressure to live up to certain expectations?

No not really… With the way things have gone so far for me in my very short career, I can see that everything is going to work out just the way everyone hopes and prays it does. Being under 368 I’ve been able to have creative freedom and make the music that I want to make, and just seeing how it is so well recieved in different parts of the world, I know there’s no way to go but up from here.
