HipHopGame caught up with Buff1 and got to know about him, Pure, the Athletic Mic League and his place in Michigan Hip Hop.
Where do you see yourself fitting into the Michigan hip-hop scene?
The fact that we’re from Ann Arbor and not Detroit kind of sets us apart initially. Usually when people think of Michigan hip-hop, they think of Detroit. That’s where some of the dopest musicians in the world come from, but we’re not from there. We’re from Ann Arbor and that’s what we have to represent. I know far too many people not from Detroit that try to claim Detroit. I’m proud of my city and I think people outside of Ann Arbor see that and respect that
It took us awhile at first to really get noticed on the scene, because we were from Ann Arbor and cats from the D had the stamp on the Michigan hip-hop scene. As far as talent-wise, it was all theirs. Once they saw what we’re doing, they respected it and it’s been love ever since. We just try to stay true to what we are and as long as we stay true to ourselves, we’re going to get respect out here because we’re not trying to portray something that we’re not.
