Dunks: Guru. Guru was one of
my biggest inspirations, and
I think he’s one of the flyest
rappers to this day. R.I.P Guru.
Qtip. I think myself and Tip
would kill a track, on some
funky steez! Q is the man!
Apollo Brown. One of the best
producers going at the moment;
he has bangers. I would love
to jump on one. Skyzoo. I’m a
massive Sky fan. I think he’s one
of the smoothest rappers out! He
is massively underrated.
Rakim. Because it’s Rakim!
That was hard to answer. I’ve
never actually thought about
that; I’m sure I’ve missed about a
hundred people.
Novie Blendz: If you could create
a “Dream Battle Event”, what
matchups would you put on your
card (you can choose both AU and
International battlers)?
Novie Blendz: What does “battle
rap” truly mean to you?
Dunks: For me, it’s a way to
promote myself and what I do
while still having fun and being
able to pay someone out [insult
someone] without getting into a
fight.
Novie Blendz: That makes sense.
(Novie laughs) I am not mad at
you for that! Who do you plan on
battling next?
Dunks: Whoever is offered, I
guess; it’s not really up to me.
Hopefully I get the chance
for some more international
opponents; [that’s] definitely a
better look for me.
Novie Blendz: Who’s on your list
of top five battlers; locally in AU
and internationally?
Novie Blendz: Dopeness on that
site. Can you please tell me, where
does the name “Dunks” come
from?
Dunks: I was actually given the
name by a friend, who I still
make music with today. It was
based purely on my love for
basketball and the fact that I
can’t dunk.
Novie Blendz: (Novie laughs) Do
you know when your first title
defense will be?
Dunks: Unsure at this time, I
haven’t heard any word as of yet
— hopefully soon. I’m getting
the itch to battle again.
Novie Blendz: Cool. Where can
fans, readers and supporters find
you?
“I can tell you one thing; I am definitely here to stay. This isn’t a part-time
thing [for me] like I notice it is for a lot of these other guys.” — Dunks
Dunks: Not too sure about
matchups, but I’d love to have
the likes of: Hitman Holla,
Tony D, Bender, Pat Stay, Rone,
T-Rex, and Ill Will on a card.
Novie Blendz: Interesting! What’s
something that you want people
to understand about yourself as an
artist?
Dunks: I can tell you one thing;
I am definitely here to stay. This
isn’t a part-time thing [for me]
like I notice it is for a lot of
these other guys.
Dunks: Locally, in no particular
order: Greeley, Dunn D,
Manaz Ill, Epps, an BW'
