Exclusive Interview: Rising Artist Bxndzszn
Hello Bxndzszn, Thanks for coming to Honk Magazine to talk about your career.
Tell us a little more about when you first got into music?
For starters, music has always been a part of my life but I really fell into creating music based on it being my way of expressing myself due to me being an introvert .
If you could describe your sound/style in one word, what would it be and why?
If I could describe my sound/style in one word it would be evolutionarily because as I age so will everything else.
What would you say to any aspiring recording artists who look up to your work?
I would tell them to keep going no matter what and if that’s what they really want it is possible!
What quote or mantra do you live by?
“Get rich or die trying” and “with age comes wisdom”
What is your hobby outside of music?
Outside of music I really just like to enjoy life. My hobby outside of music would probably be me just staying positive and staying productive whether that’s playing the game or seeing the world.
Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
In 5 years, I see myself having achieved a lot of my goals in which I’ll be making music, living life, and spreading positivity. I am Bxndzszn !
Do you have anything new or upcoming we can expect to see from you?
Lol I’m consistent so there will always be. But I plan on getting more music and content out!
What is the inspiration behind your latest song?
The inspiration behind my latest song “destiny “ is in alignment with my life and how it’s not all positive
What are your “5 things I wish someone told me when I first started” and why. Please share a story or example for each.
Honestly this is a question that I can’t really answer because although there are things that I wish I was told… the fact that I did it for myself makes it more worth it, in my opinion of course!
Which tips would you recommend to your colleagues in your industry to help them to thrive and not “burn out”?
I’d recommend to them that breaks are very much needed and that mental health is very important.

Ellis B. unveils an effortless groove on latest release “So Smooth”
Ellis B. tripped out on So Smooth with a groove for dancing, smoking, and just vibing. It’s a record built like a hip-hop song, but with a chill, driven feel, catchy lyrics paired with an experienced perspective. From the opening attitude to the people it talks to, the song feels like one for hustlers and smokers looking for something with an easygoing edge.
The lyrics bring that perspective to the fore, “This is for the hustlers, This is for the smokers too, This is so smooth.” It’s confidently simple, and the groove moves the track forward, without pushing the moment. Ellis B. also goes introspective, rapping about growth and perseverance: “I pray my blessings renew, making smooth shit like this is what I’m destined to do.”
That feeling of experience continues with the reflection, “I learn my lessons from losing, but that remains to be proven.” Underneath its chill surface, it builds on the chillness of “So Smooth.” It connects the song’s chill with a resolve to keep moving forward. Ellis B has a title track that fits the bill, with groove, confidence, experience, and an easy sense of movement.

Murph Law puts survival behind the hustle on latest release “Do It For The Money”
Murph Law has released “Do It For The Money,” a hard-hitting track about sacrifice, ambition, and the reality of chasing success when broke is not an option. The track features on his upcoming album, MONOLITH. It connects the daily grind to bigger themes, serving as a reaction against oppressive systems and establishments that can hold people back from reaching their potential.
The boom bap drums and aggressive rock guitar emphasize the message. That mix feeds the hunger that runs through the song, the kind that hits home with late nites and long shifts and the hard work of trying to build something real. This is the soundtrack for the everyday hustler; it’s about the practical realities behind dreams, not success as a breeze.
“Do It For The Money” distinguishes chasing money from chasing a better life. It is survival mode, the knowledge that you require the means to chase your dreams. With MONOLITH on the horizon, Murph Law uses this record to showcase the pressure, drive, and sacrifice of the hustle, creating a track built for anyone looking to build a path forward.
