Dana: So first question. where
you from?
BK Fynest: Canarsie Brooklyn
Dana: Where did you get your
name from?
BK Fynest: Jayz n Biggie are ma
fav rappers...they’re the original
Brooklyn’s Finest. They’re my
biggest inspiration.
Dana: So they got you into
making music? Are they what
inspired you to start making
music?
BK Fynest: Yes I always been into
hip hop though. That’s ma 1st
love
Dana: How do you feel about
the state of hip hop today?
BK Fynest: I respect where it’s @
now...i mean, it’s nothing like the
classics but i appreciate all artist
& everyone involved that keeps it
going!
Dana: Do you think it will ever
get back to competitive lyricism
BK Fynest: If they shed light on
the right artist it can! Nowadays
artist don’t rap about REAL
LIFE situations so it kind of
put limitations on the talent.
.everybody isn’t rich fly or gangsta
n even then it’s a person story that
interest me even more than the
lyrics sometimes
Dana: How did you get into
battle rap?
Bk Fynest: I was selling ma HBIC
mixtapes w Hood Barbie one day
in East New York & Clark Ceaser
supported the movement... a few
days after hearing the talent he
hit me to perform in a cypher
@ the Brooklyn mic club...Took
him about a year to talk me into
a battle long story short i finally
agreed now here i am.
Dana: Were you a fan of battle
rap before that?
Bk Fynest: To be honest NO...
I didn’t look @ battle rappers as
being famous or getting the $
the commercial artist get...but
i definitely grew to respect the
wave after being involved with the
culture
Dana: Have you battled at all
before being involved in the
culture?
Bk Fynest: Nah not at all..i did
battle myself on a track though lol
its was Raw Deal vs Bklynz Fynest.
Raw Deal was ma rap name in the
90’s but that shit got wack then
when i started taking things more
serious i came up with an official
name #BF OFF TOPIC...that’s
why i don’t sound like the other
battle rappers u can tell I’m in my
own world. Some say its wack but
i disagree i just dare to be different
they might say i lost every battle i
have because i don’t have the same
format as the other ladies
Dana: Yes, you definitely have a
unique style because of your lack
of influence. What gave you the
idea to use sound effects?
bk fynest
rising star
Bk Fynest: I just like to be
animated sometime nothing
wrong with having fun. On ma
mixtape i was a radio host a caller,
a gangsta outta town bitch a freaky
girl n many more plus i wanted
to combine studio style w battle
rapping
Dana: How has the battle rap
community been treating you?
Bk Fynest: It’s been a rough road
so far due to the fact I’m different
from the other ladies but I do love
the new fans I have gained from
battle rapping
Dana: I noticed in your battles
that you have a hard delivery
but your bars tend to be light
hearted and comical, was that
intentional?
Bk Fynest: Nah not at all but i
do try to be entertaining though.
A few battles i have seen have
nothing but bars but to me they’re
boring as fuck...I want to enjoy
my footage when I’m watching
Dana: You’re definitely
entertaining to watch. I can
appreciate that you don’t take
yourself that seriously and don’t
mind poking fun at yourself.
Who do you enjoy watching in
battle rap and who would you
like the opportunity to face?
Bk Fynest: Thanks...I def
appreciate Ms. Fit i think she’s
dope & i like Big T too..i want to
face all the top tier females who
think the sparring session ladies
won’t put em on their a$$...it’s all
love though
