Live Session: Five Questions with wunderkind Steve Cantrell

wun·der·kind

ˈwo͝ondərˌkind

noun
a person who achieves great success when relatively young.

Pro Jam Skater, member of historic BBoy crew TBB, and recording artist Steve Cantrell (@Steve_Cantrell), is on the march to greatness with hit joints like Picking Up (Prod. By The Best Kept Secret) and the super funky Willie Mays, which just happen to be a couple personal favorites. Add his BBoy stylings to skating as a member of VNLA Skate Company’s “Jam Team,” and it’s a blank canvas for the all-around superstar on the rise.

Here’s the official line on the young lion

Born in Sylvester, Ga, raised in Albany, Hip Hop artist Steve Cantrell has no problem establishing his mark. In a world dominated by social media, reality tv, symbolism, and where image is a major concern for new upcoming artists, Cantrell, through his art and ideas, is looking to inspire others to break barriers and dream freely. His early inspirations as a kid ranged from Michael Jackson, Goodie Mob, Outkast, Eminem, Nirvana, to Jay-Z. As time progressed, so did Steve; through life experiences, becoming a pro skater, and working at his craft he has developed his own sound and sense of direction.

Cantrell has gained loads of love and followers over the last few releases from the free album Step Towards Darkness to his collab with producer David Luke entitled Thoughts After Second Thoughts (which rereleased by the duo for free on David’s soundcloud). As the frontman of Free Minds Music, he looks to break the barrier through artistry and vision; setting a new standard for the days to come.

Cantrell sat in studio and answered a few questions for The Hype Magazine. Tune in!
