Sanchez City is comprised of
two rappers Young Jizzle the Prince,
King Gunna and singer Ray Burns.
Up & Coming Weekly talked to this
new band recently.
UCW: Give us a brief history
lesson on the band. When and
where did you get started?
SC: They have all been playing
around with rap since the late 90's
and early 2000's. In September
2009 they started taking it seri-
ously when they met up with their
manager Kanada "Izinice" Legette.
UCW: How did the band get
its name?
SC: The members of the band
grew up on Sanchez Drive where everyone congregated on a daily basis.
They started calling the street Sanchez City. So when they became serious
about their music, and being influenced by an outside member purchasing the
rights to KNO`2 which they were calling themselves, they held on to the name
Sanchez City.
UCW: How would you define your music?
SC: Our music is Down South Hip Hop with New York lyricism.
UCW: Who are your favorite bands/influences on your music?
SC: Sanchez City draws influences from the best that ever did it, 2 Pac, Jay-
Z, Lil Wayne, Biggie, Outkast, and Eminem.
UCW: Do you write your own music and where does that inspiration
come from?
SC: Every verse is written by the members to include the choruses and we
draw from life experiences and experiences of the elders who raised us.
UCW: What are your hopes/goals for the future of your band?
SC: Our mission is to be the flagship group for our independent record
label to become a major label. We want to utilize our musical influence in a way
that brings growth and economical freedom to our community and culture.
UCW: Where do you see the band five years, 10 years from now?
SC: In five years from now Sanchez City will have utilized its success in
the music industry to branch off into clothing lines, restaurants and low income
housing business ventures.
UCW: Where can Fayetteville music lovers check you in
the near future?
SC: You can check us out
always on www.myspace.com/
sanchezcity and live at The Ville on
Owen Drive and downtown Hay
street at Bentleys Nightclub.
