Stoli Razz Chills Out With His Homie Mitch Gunz
By: Stoli Razz


Mitch Gunz is an emcee straight out of South Florida and the boy is the truth. He has been mastering his craft for years and his time is here. Stoli caught up with Mr. Gunz to see what’s really hood with him. Holla back!

Stoli: At what age did you know that you were destined to be in the hip hop game?

MG: I was about 13 when I new this was going to be my destiny.

Stoli: How did you come up with your name, Mitch Gunz?

MG: From my grandmother who is a well know psychiatrist! She conquered barriers at a time when racism, and women were not recognized or allowed to perform to their highest potential by society. We always say in our family grandmom used her mental guns to accomplish her successes in life. She never let society or what was excepted in her time get her down!

Stoli: If there was one hip hop superstar that you admire & are inspired by whom would that be?

MG: That’s a hard question because I have more than one hip hop superstar that has inspired me and that I mad respect for but if I have to name one I would have to say that it is Jay-Z.

Stoli: Would you say that growing up in South Florida has helped you grow as an emcee?

MG: Yes! I have received support from South Florida in all aspects of my journey not only with music but I was afforded the chance to model for Sean John and have been shown Love by many DJ’s here! Shout out to 99 Jamz, Mike B, DJ Entice, and Waggy T who believe in my single “Never Get Me Down” and placed it in rotation on major radio.

Stoli: You have been with D&L Ent for a minute now. What has helped you to work with D&L and have such success?

MG: To put simple the D&L has believed in Mitch Gunz from the beginning! The CEO Lady D has helped me with artist development and confidence! She will not allow any of the artist to perform at what is not their full potential. There was a time when I would not sing at all but she pushed me to use all the gifts that God gave me! Her motto is to use all your talents no matter what they are to make the artist well rounded. She says music is the compliment to life and believes that a well rounded artist can cross over to all genres of music and not be classified in to one category!

Stoli: If there was one song in your catalog that best represents Mitch Gunz, what would that be?

MG: “Never Get Me Down”

Stoli: Where do you see yourself fitting in amongst the hip hop scene as a whole?

MG: I feel I will be among the best in the industry! I think my work ethics and my sound bring some positive flavor to the industry! I like doing what we call Feel Good Music or just talking about life situations such as turning anything negative that happens to you into a positive! I feel people need that right now! I just want people to know that faith and hope still exist I am proof of that!

Stoli: What’s your favorite part of being an emcee in the spotlight?

MG: Just the reception from the fans! The fact that what I am writing about can identify with so many people. Also that what I am saying may possibly give people the strength to push through anything!

Stoli: Would you say that now that you have found your slice of fame, its almost impossible to settle down with one shorty?

MG: HA HA HA! I think that the shorty I settle down with has to be secure with herself! The path I have chosen is a constant grind so there is not a lot of time to be still and in one place for long amounts of time!

Stoli: What is your proudest accomplishment to date?

MG: I would have to say being placed in rotation on 99 Jamz!

Stoli: What can the world look forward to from MItch Gunz in 2008?

MG: More hot feel good music! Promotional tours and acting. I would like to thank Skope Magazine for the constant support you guys been supporting me for a while now! Thanks to the fans and MySpace for the opportunity to be heard! I also got say thanks to MFN Entertainment the producers of the track and Vinny D for his crazy engineering skills and Josh Randall for jumpin on the hook with me! Big Ups to my management D&L Entertainment.

Mitch Gunz: The Future has just arrived!

Written by D. Francis

There’s no need to find an R & B singer for his rap hooks, or a rapper to feature on his R & B joints because he does it all. A one-stop shop if you must. Mitch is also a laid back person in person. Humble, confident, and well spoken just to name a few of his character traits. I don’t know if the rap or R & B game is ready for such a talent seeing as no one in the game right now is doing it like him other than R. Kelly. So grab your Mitch Gunz CD, call the radio station or his management company D & L entertainment and request one of the hottest artists’ of this year and next year, Mitch Gunz!
How did you get involved with music? I didn’t get involved in music, music involved itself in me. Since before I could speak, walk or even talk music has been intertwined into my spirit. My mother told me when I was in the womb she would dance in front of the speakers to let me here Gods compliment to life.

What motivates you to keep doing what you do? The response that I receive from my fans and other artist. When something so profound as this gift lives inside you, you cant not do it. It is a driving force inside you that wont let you quit and if you try to stop your whole body feels off track.

Who or what are your biggest influences? My Grandmother, Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Diddy and my family.

What are the key things your music cover’s? What point are you trying to make? Life in general, love anger happiness jealousy the journey and the obstacles along your way to obtaining your goals what ever they may be. Try to show everyone how to release their energy whether good or bad in a positive way. Just because your raised in the hood or the projects doesn’t mean your life as to end up as a drug dealer or murder.


What are some of the things you see yourself doing in the near future? Movies, Sitcoms helping homeless children. Have you performed live? If so how was that experience? Yes I have performed live. The experience and adrenalin rush that indescribable. Its like X-mas and getting the one gift you always wanted.


What would you change if anything about your music? I can’t say that I would change anything only as I grow as an artist that I will be able to keep up with change and always be able to communicate and understand the condition and as I get older that my music will continue to grow with more life experience.

Do you feel your music brings a positive message to the youth? Yes! Is your music based on fact or fiction? Mostly fact its and art of telling a story sometimes you glorify or downplay what ever situation your are writing about.


Do you have any songs on the radio? If so, what stations if not, what are you doing to get more exposure? I have had songs played on the Radio Trust In Me was in circulation on Power 96 and Hey Lady has been on the Local Love Show on 102.7 in West Palm Beach

What are you bringing to the game that is different? What is so unique about you or your style of music? I am bringing hip/hop and R&B together in the form on one artist. Just trying to use all the gifts God has given me.

Are you getting love from the home front? How does that make you feel? Yes I am receiving love from the home front! It makes me feel very appreciative that I can be in touch with So many from just my 20 years of lifes experiences. I am humbled by the reception and I hope to be able to continue this for the rest of my life.


Do you have a crew you run with? If so, who are they and how do they help with the music? If not, how do you manage to come up with all of your music? My crew definitely go getters from the Ceo @ D&L Entertainment a single mother who believes not only my dreams but the dreams of everyone she comes in contact with to the other artist in our camp Speakama86 n and artist, writer producer engineer, MFN Ent. Producers, Trilogy a group that consist of a Reggae artist, Rapper, and R&B artist and Vinny D producer/ artist out of what we like to call the Hit Factory. We all motivate and help each other in all aspects.


Do you produce your own tracks or do you have a producer. If so, how do you get inspired to produce your tracks? If you use a producer, why did you choose this producer and what is so unique about him/her? I don’t produce my own tracks but I work with many different producers. I choose them according to their style of music. For instance after we meet they usually let me listen to different tracks that fit my personality and then we grind from there. For instance Vinny D pushes me to use all my talents and he takes no shorts as well as myself when we are in the studio we are going to come out with a hit! Speakaman when I get a writers block can say something to me to make me open up and put down my concepts these are my favorite producer so far that I have worked with.

Do you have anything else you would like to share with our readers? Any words of motivation or encouragement? If you are and artist don’t worry about the haters and you are good as you let yourself be. If you have a dream keep working at it, nothing worth having comes easy, you gotta have tough skin to accomplish what you want, believe in yourself even when it seems that no one else can understand where your coming from and keep the faith because your talent is your divine gift from the creator.
