I got the chance to steal some time from the members of Boombox Saints at the premiere of their first music video, ‘Flip It’ on Monday.  As busy as they were meeting and greeting friends, family and fans, they were awesome enough to stop for a quick chat.The Boombox Saints are a collective of three talented (and if I may add, the freshest and most humbling) male artists that are swiftly taking over Vancouver’s Hip Hop scene –one show and one song after another.  Put your hands up for Adi, Huggy and Freeky P!So guys, how does it feel to watch the release of your official video, Flip It?Adi: “Its awesome. It feels good to finally make a video.”Huggy: “It feels good!”Freeky P: “It  was awesome… An accomplishment… A progression you know, from where we started to where we are now. .”There must have been countless hours put into the making of this video, what was your most memorable part?Adi: “Just making it. The whole experience of just having everybody there you know. The whole experience of being all together. First time for me to be doing something like that..”Freeky P: “For me it was just to see a whole bunch of people coming together  doing this whole project.  The support of the community …on Rockstar. (laughs) There was a lot of Rockstar on the set, everyone was just go, go go! So for me, everyone was just jacked, it was funny.”Now, each of you has your own verse in the song, did you guys write your own verses for yourselves?All: “Yea.”What were your influences in writing Flip It?Freeky P: “Well for me, I know when we thought of the concept of the song, in my head I was thinkin’ like sort of the whole unity within the Filipino community. You know how you have the Canadian Filipinos who were born here, they just make a dividing line with the people who are coming here, like “fobs” and we just want to erase that line…”Adi: “You know what it is, honestly, we’re Filipino and so we have to represent that you know what I mean? We all have different stories and we all came from different places to work and we’re all Filipinos and that’s what brings us all together and we wanted to represent that in that song and I think we did you know,  we all told a story of where we’re coming from…”What message do you think the video conveys?Huggy: “That we’re proud.”Freeky P: “It’s a multi-dimensional thing, we flip it, we flip any song we do, any style, any genre…you name it.”The video started out with a story line influenced from the 2001 Filipino-American movie, “The Debut”, why?Adi: “It was because  in the movie, it was basically about that whole idea too, if anyone has seen the debut it was basically about that story…this kid who was brought up in the American culture and he was tryin’ to get in touch with his Filipino group as well.”Freeky P: “At first I was just joking about the idea of the film and all of a sudden it just came to life, I didn’t think we were actually gonna do it but yea..Everything just worked out!”It did work out, it was a dope video guys…You have a lot of success in the Vancouver Hip Hop scene, having experienced opening up for artists such as Beyonce Knowles and Talib Kweli, what is it like being able to open for artists that you guys look up to?Freeky P: ( laughs) “ I mean, I always pictured myself doing stuff like this but I guess I missed this whole part about opening up for people…”Adi: “ It’s one thing to do a show you know what I mean, we’re lucky enough to even perform in front of people let alone to open up for big acts such as Talib Kweli..Freeky P: “[They’re] People that I look up to…that I grew up listening to. It’s  a trip you know and actually getting to meet them…What’s it like when you’re actually there with them and know you get to be on the same stage?Huggy: “ Sometimes its surreal…Adi: “It hasn’t hit…”Well I’m sure you guy are counting your blessings , especially with an up and coming show Dec. 11, 2009 to open up for Kid Cudi….What exactly went through your heads the moment  you found out?Adi: (laughs) “ We’ll let P start off this one…”Freeky P: “When I found out…I had to go to work and Mike woke me up…Mike’s my roommate… and I’m like all groggy just waking up and he was like: yo we got a show coming up…yea you’re gonna be open’in up for Kudi .  I was like what! whatchu say!? And honestly  I just woke up running around screaming and smashing and kicking shi— like a little kid man.  It’s funny cause at the start of the year I said if Kid Cudi came into town we need to open up for him… and having it materialize like that it’s like…damn…”Well now its set you guys are officially opening up for Kudi, what are you guys going to do to prepare for that show?Freeky P: “Underwater training.” (laughs)Adi: “No just tryin’ to get our live show down. If anything ,with us, we’re just really proud of the fact that we have a really good live show you know what I mean?  We’ll just be practicing a little more than usual but I think the vibe we bring in our live shows a good fit.”Freeky P: “I don’t feel like no one in the city brings it like us… on that live tip…that entertainment value.”Do you guys do anything before a show? Superstitions? Routines? Freeky P: “Shower.”Adi: “Shower and pray.” Huggy: “We have that trust in each other when we do these shows, we have each other …and as long as we have fun. Well it seems like you guys are such a strong group, what can your fans look forward to for Boombox in the New Year?Huggy: “More good music!”Freeky P: “The next flavor of stuff that we have comin’ out is just…BANGIN’ SON! …This new mixtape just makes our mixtape now look like baby food. “Adi: “ This stuff we’re comin’ out with is I think, our best.  The goal has always been to make good music so it’s like, we just try to keep getting better in what we do… our writing process is getting more tight, everything just comes out a little more easier…I think we’re stronger now.I think you guys are doin’ really well and it seems like everything is definitely going your way, are there any last words for your fans?Adi: “Thank you!”Huggy: “ Thank you!” Freeky P: “Thank you….thank you for all your support and you know…when it doubt….FLIP IIIIT!”THANKS GUYS!Can’t get enough of Boombox Saints?Make sure to also check out Boombox Saints’ debut single “SHE GOT” available now on iTunes!Official Website: http://www.boomboxsaints.comFacebook:http://www.facebook.com/TheBoomboxSaintsMyspace: http://www.myspace.com/theboomboxsaintsTwitter: http://twitter.com/BOOMBOXSAINTSYoutube: http://www.youtube.com/theboomboxsaintsWant Boombox Saints are your party?For Bookings and Inquiries please contact Michael: boomboxsaints@live.com | 778.227.1827
