​

Big shout on your 2nd Win in a Row!, how does it feel...
Neme$1$: It feels real good homie, I been workin too hard without any recognition, winning these last two contests in a row was a blessing. Real inspiring.

You had a major win with your track, what was the concept behind your track...
Neme$1$: When I listen to Raider Klan I get a real 90's feel, whether it be from the South, West, or East Coast. I grew up listening to every coast, so I relate. I figured I'd mix it all up into one, The first half being East coast inspired, an the Second half inspired by the West, all wrapped around Three 6 Mafia inspired instruments like the Hi-Hats and Bass. 

​

Have you made any beats for anyone since your first win: 
Neme$1$: Im supposed to have a beat on Grvndmilly's new project. I also met a few Underground emcees from Miami who are interested in workin wit me, I ain't gonna say any names until its official. 

​

How has the feedback been from fans since your winnings... 
Neme$1$: Everything positive, I got the coolest fans yo, real supporters.

Do you have any mix tapes coming out soon...
Neme$1$: Yea I got ASTRAL PLAN3.5 coming soon with my boys MarkOz an Lay Leezy, and my Beat tape AlmeidaBeatz Vol.1 coming in the next couple weeks.

​

If you could make a beat specifically for one of the Raider Klan Artists who would it be and why?..
Neme$1$: If it were up to me, me and SGP would be the DJ Paul an Juicy J of Raider Klan, but if I had to chose one itd be Grvndmilly and its a blessin we linked up, and its because dude spits some real ass shit, he goes more in depth then the other members, not that I dislike any of the other members music. I woulda said Denzel Curry but I seen he aint Klan anymore, He was the original member I fucked wit, Reminds me of Lord Infamous alot.

​

If you could make a beat specifically for a main stream artist who would it be and why?...
Neme$1$: Mainstream would prolly have to be Wiz Khalifa, I can make some real smoked out trippy shit and dude knows how to flow on some trippy shit, wouldn't hurt to have that Juicy J feature either.

​

Tell us something about yourself that your fans don't know...
Neme$1$: I once had someone file a Restraining Order on me when I was 9 Years old.

Answer the  quickies 

Tupac or Biggie
Neme$1$: Biggie, he told Stories like they were movies.

​

Pro Tools or Fruity loops
Neme$1$: Pro Tools for Recording, Fruity Loops for beats.

​

Jay Z or Nas 
Neme$1$: Nas, at first I thought Nas killed Jay wit Ether, but Jay was more personal and had lines that hit the heart, So I feel Jay won the Beef when it came to harder bars, but I prefer Nas as an all around Artist, He has better music then Jay period, more amazing albums, more creative songs.

​

Mac or PC 
Neme$1$: Fuck Mac, only thing good on it is Final Cut Pro.

​

Twitter or Facebook 
Neme$1$: Facebook, twitters a joke.

​

Istagram or Twitter 
Neme$1$: Instagram, only reason I even have a twitter is cuz its eazy to get followers... @Classick_nobull

​

Kendrick Lamar or Drake
Neme$1$: Kendrick...As much I think Kendrick is overated and as much as I respect Drake for helpin bring back Emcees, Drakes music is too commercial for me...Hes good when he's serious. 

​

Finish the verse: I got to have the world in my _____________________________________
Neme$1$: Hands Im a God, im no longer a black man, the Black GOD

​

Iphone or Android 
Neme$1$: Android

​

Do you have any words of encouragement for aspiring producers...
Neme$1$: Yea jus keep at it, what I regret the most in my life was slackin off an smokin weed between the ages of 15-18. I coulda been a Millionaire by now usin social media like Wiz an Mac Miller or Hopsin. It's never too late to get the fuck up and pursue your dreams.

​

Plug in your shout outs...
Neme$1$: Shout-out to my Family, Friends, and Fans out there, without them I woulda prolly gave up again on this music shit. I'd also like to shout yall out for this oppurtunity, Raider Klan keeps it real. Peace!

​

 

Q: What made you want to focus your life on music?

​

 

Q: Who are some of your influences? 

A: Everyone, mainly East Coast heavyweights like Wu-tang, Nas, Biggie, Mobb Deep, Naughty By Nature, Redman, Lost Boyz etc... but I also take from Southern stuff like Three 6 Mafia, Young Buck, UGK, 8 Ball & MJG.

INTERVIEW WITH CITYNIGHTS TV

Mika Mays: Glad to meet you introduce yourself
Neme$1$: Likewise,  I'm Rick Almeida a.k.a Neme$1$, one Half of PURE B4L4NCE and leader of the ClasSick Nobull Recordz Movement. I'm 22 Years old born in Brazil but raised in Broward County, FL, Home to Ace Hood and members of 2 Live Crew. I Specialize in making Beats but I also Rap, Design, and Direct Videos.

Mika Mays: Congrats on your win as Producer of the Week for Raider Klan Records Beat Spotlight Contest. How did you hear about this contest 
Neme$1$: Just being a fan of Raider Klan and staying updated with everything. Hip-Hop is my life and I always find myself in these sorta things. This is the first one I got any recognition thoe.

​

Mika Mays: How many votes did you get 
Neme$1$: About 150

​

Mika Mays: Did you think you were going to get that many votes from the fans
Neme$1$: Not really, I didnt see others get that much....then again I was grindin hard to spread that shit around.

​

Mika Mays: How long have you been producing 
Neme$1$: for about 4 Years now, I started around 17-18 Years old.

​

Mika Mays: What artists have you worked with underground or mainstream
Neme$1$: I did a song with Dizzy Wright, Its goin on the PURE B4L4NCE album titled Classick Me4surez. Were pushing for an end of the year release.

​

Mika Mays: Who are some of your influences in the business 
Neme$1$: My biggest Influence/ Role Model would be The RZA from Wu-tang Clan. He's done everything from producing and rapping, to clothing lines and video games, to books and movies. Thats me, I have my own crew, I make and chose all the beats, chose the direction the group is headed, and plan on going global and venturing into Hollywood in the future.

​

Mika Mays: Describe the style of your beats 
Neme$1$: I listen to multiple sub-genres of Hip-Hop and multiple Genres of music in general. So my style is a mixture of everything. If I really had to pin-point a style, Id say I mix DJ Paul and Juicy J production with everything. Ill get an East-coast type sound and lay down some heavy Bass and hi-hats then the next beat will have a Reggae feel to it, or Rock feel to it, but still have that heavy Three 6 Mafia bass. I'm also a big fan of Clams Casino, so I put that into the mix as well.

​

Mika Mays: If someone compared your beats to a household name producer who would it be and why
Neme$1$: Either Clams Casino or DJ Paul and Juicy J, because I'm a Trippy dude and they make Trippy ass beats, but like I said in the last question, I'm a mixture of everything. So you'll hear me being compared here an there to anybody from RZA an DJ Premier, to Flying Lotus and DJ U-neek. 

​

Mika Mays: If you could collab with anyone in the business underground and mainstream who would they be and why
Neme$1$: I wish I could make a whole album with Method Man, with features from Nas, Mobb Deep, Naughty By Nature, Redman, and AZ, because these guys are the blueprint of my childhood and my taste for hip-hop. I probably listened and learned more from these guys then my own Father.

Mika Mays: Whats your next move for 2013 with your career 
Neme$1$: I'm about to release a mixtape called ASTRAL PLAN3.5 wit my boy Lay Leezy (You may have heard him on songs with Nell an Rell from Raider Klan) and then after that me an my boy MarkOz are going to finish the PURE B4L4NCE album, Classick Me4surez. Once those two projects are out the way, I'm only going to focus on Videos for those projects and free Beat tapes for the world.

Mika Mays: Whats the best way to reach you for beats
Neme$1$: The best way is to contact me on Twitter @classick_nobull or hit up my Email, r1cka1me1da@hotmail.com. If you can't reach me there, hit up my facebook www.facebook.com/Nemesick

Mika Mays: Each one should encourage one. What words of encouragement can you give to our viewers, especially those that are aspiring producers.
Neme$1$: Keep practicing. Anything you dedicate all your time to, will be mastered. So if you REALLY want to see some progress, Let Negativity go in one ear and out the other, then keep practicing.

​

Mika Mays: Is there anyone that you would like to thank
Neme$1$: All my Family, Friends, and Fans who've been supporting me and believing in me. I wanna thank whoever created Fruity Loops, Pro Tools, and USB Mics, and last but not least, God for helpin me see the vision.
