Kulture Vulturez: How do you feel your wave is going to be different from other artists who come from New York?

Yung Esckimo: We definitely different from everybody off the rip. The story is different. I’m doing this from the ground up, from the mud. I’m putting up my own bag. I’m coming in with my own label, and down the road, we’re going to have our own artists.

It’s just different than your regular average artist. I’m coming in as an executive. I’m coming in as a chairman, I’m coming in as the stylist, I’m coming in as the whole enchilada, from top to bottom, the whole vibe.

Kulture Vulturez: When did you realize that what you were doing was making an impact?

Yung Esckimo: When I’m in the hood on a regular day and I got random kids, even grown men coming up to me singing hooks and telling me that they see me. I see the music, I see what you are doing. I got older guys in the community, telling me that their son is trying to be an artist, give their number and try to make something happen.

That’s when I see the impact of what I’m doing. Actually reaching out into my neighborhood and watching and getting in tune with what I’m doing and having the community locked in with me. That’s when I realized what I’m doing is actually working and we got to keep it going.

Kulture Vulturez: How important is that to have the streets and the neighborhoods you come from really respect and rock with your movement?

Yung Esckimo: It’s important because when you jump off the porch, you want to do it for your community, because that’s who you want to take what you’re doing and embrace it.

That’s what you’re looking for to give you the okay and rock with you. That’s a key element to an artist really keep going, because if your hood don’t support you then something’s wrong.

Kulture Vulturez: Is there anything else you would like to share or that I left out?

SCAM Inc.: [Yeah, that we are also running a label]. Not only being a rapper or an artist, but an actual executive. The name of the label is SCAM Inc. The word scam, like being scammed. The word scam has such a negative depiction to it, and we flipped it on its head and it really stands for Success Comes After Manifestation.

That’s a point that we really want to drive because without manifestation and without you understanding that it takes work, and not just a vision. Without the vision, it don’t matter how much work you do. So those things work hand in hand, and that’s a message that we really push to our fans and just to people in general that the ball is in your hands. You can do whatever you want. You just got to put the work in.

Yung Esckimo: When you look at Scam Inc, you got to look at No Limit, Cash Money, Roc-A-Fella, or CMG, and that’s what we aspire to be on a daily basis.

Kulture Vulturez: Running SCAM Inc., what are the steps that are needed to make it grow?

Yung Esckimo: You need consistency. You need to be dedicated. You need to know that this is what you want to do. Because anybody could tell you they want to do this. But when you got to put your bread up and you got to get it out the mud, it’s a little bit different than you just acquiring about things.

Anybody can tell you they want to do this and do that. The dream is free, but the hustle is sold separately.
