NW Spotlight "Archie Bellz"

 Archie Bellz - BIOGRAPHY

Hiphop/Rap

Royalty Magazine: Archie Bellz whuts good?  How has your summer been going?

Archie Bellz:  The summer was great I did alot of shows and my support is crazy right now.

Royalty Magazine: That's wassup!  Tell us the concept behind the name and what prompted the change from Knowledge to Archie?

Archie Bellz:  Knowledge is still my name but I just wanted to have a new fresh start with my music, so like a new beginning so to speak.

Royalty Magazine: I can dig it!  Being from the town (Seattle), who would you say are some local artists to look out for and why?

Archie Bellz:  Well I would say, there talented and they got what it takes:

 

Juga hill
Jesse James
Fly Boy Jody

Royalty Magazine: Okay, now what makes you stand out as an Artist?  What are some skills you bring to the table?


Archie Bellz:  I'm different!!! My random bars, my energy and my charm. I like being me!  Official baby!

Royalty Magazine: That's what it's all about.  I like being me too lol.  Over the years, Seattle has had its own lil divisions within its own community (such as people claiming the CD or the Southend, Franklin vs Garfield, Seattle or Tacoma)...In your opinion, what would it take to bring us together as a unit or a movement?


Archie Bellz:  Bring us together??? Good fuckin question I must say. Only way this is goin' to happen is if somebody gets known (signed) and gives back. Until then it's just goin' to be a million of us racing for the spot! Gettin No where...

Royalty Magazine: Real talk. I like how you put that.  Nonetheless, there is also a lot of undiscovered talent out here, why do you think we are so slept on?


Archie Bellz:  Somebody gotta have some ballz (like myself) and push the hell outta the music . No holds bars, Seattle is sooo known, we just need a chance (which is coming soon)! I feel it...

Royalty Magazine: Yeah I know what you mean.  I feel like it's only a matter of time.  We will get our time to shine one way or another.  If you could do a collab with your top 3 mainstream artists, who would they be and why?
