One DJ that is earning the respect from many of hip-hop’s artist of the future is my man DJ Bedtyme 357. There are plenty of artists that go through hell when it comes to DJ’s playing their records even if it’s hot.

In the case of DJ Bedtyme 357, I can honestly say that he will give you a chance and it’s a no-brainer why the underground community of hip-hop respects him at all cost. Though with the power of him being a DJ he could be one of those slick ones that always try to get over, but he has morals and ethics and chooses not too.

DJ Bedtyme also is wearing more hats now with more mixtapes, being Remy Ma’s DJ, his hot show Hate Money Radio, and Inasirkl Music Group (shout out to J-Hatch Sic Osyrus, and Franchyze Bless). 

As just mentioned, Inasirkl Music Group is a movement. If you don’t know what’s going on you better watch out as the industry knows who they are. DJ Bedtyme plays a big role being a part of Inasirkl in the career of upcoming artist Sic Osyrus who has a strong buzz and is featured all over the Internet.

Hate Money Radio is continuing to grow as one of the top radio shows in the industry and you independent artists need to know what’s going on, but Bedtyme do have some requirements b efore you get that chance. It’s funny too in this interview as you can see how the whole Hate Money Radio started too in which Bedtyme tells it all. 

DJ Bedtyme the last time we talked you had a lot of grinding going on with Sic Osyrus, Inasirkl, so what you been up to lately since the last time we talked?
 
The success is definitely good with everything we accomplishing with the team and my individual personality, but you know you get what you put in.
 
How it feels that a lot of underground artists have a lot of respect for you, because a lot of DJ’s don’t get that these days?
 
It’s a blessing, it’s definitely a blessing not only to get the respect from the underground and unsigned artists, but also from a lot of signed artists that I associate with too. It’s always good reading my features online and in magazines, because it always shows I’m doing something.
 
Being a DJ describe a regular day for DJ Bedtyme every time you wake up doing your thing in this crazy industry?
 
Well you know what let me stop you right there, because in 2008 I’m taking that whole DJ thing off my name because I wear too many hats right now. It’s just gonna be Bedtyme 357, that whole DJ thing is just a small aspect of what I do. I’m a real individual at the end of the day. I got a corporate job and I busted my ass to many years in college getting two degrees not to have a serious 9 to 5. First and foremost that’s what I do, I hit the office and handle my real life business. Everything after that is in this so-called entertainment world.
 
Speaking on your grind talk about the relationship with Sic Osyrus and how you feel about his relationship as an artist in terms of him getting out there?
 
Sic Osyrus is the reason why I’m signed to Inasirkl management.  A couple years back I saw Sic Osyrus performing and I liked what he did. He then put me in contact with his manager J-Hatch which lead to me signing to his management company. Seeing Sic Osyrus now is a real big difference from when he first started. You just feel like a proud parent almost, I don’t want to say proud parent like he’s my son or anything, but watching him develop towards his career and knowing I had an intricate part in that whole process is great.
 
Talk about being a part of the whole Inasirkl movement and the main goals ya’ll are trying to accomplish for 08?
 
The good thing about being a part of the Inasirkl movement is that the industry got a problem man. All of us collectively serve our purpose and we handle business in our own right. When we all come together it is what it is man and our track record shows that we’ve been following through and been on point. Everybody knows a circle has no boundaries with no start or no end so that’s exactly the same idea with Inasirkl Music Group.
 
Say for instance somebody likes ya’ll movement and wants to get down how do they go about the process?
 
The best way would be to get at our top dog J-Hatch. He’s a real humble dude and he’s real easy to talk to. You can reach him at jhatch@sprint.blackberry.net . He is so deep in the music business J-Hatch don’t really got too much time to be conducting phone conversations unless it’s serious.
 
By the end of 2008 where would you like to see the Inasirkl movement?
 
I definitely want to see Sic Osyrus with some kind of major label deal and as far as everything else going on with the Inasirkl movement I would definitely like to see J-Hatch with a nice position somewhere. You know what I’m not gonna even say I would like to see I know it’s gonna happen. J-Hatch is gonna have a nice A&R situation at one of these major labels and in return it’s gonna open a wave of opportunities for Sic Osyrus to get his deal.

A lot of labels been talking to J-Hatch and Drawzilla now in regards to getting Sic Osyrus signed and they just pretty much fishing for the right deal. It’s a million of rappers and R&B singers that say we got mad deals on the table we just going through them, having meetings shopping this and that. Look man for anybody out there reading this interview check our track record man. This is not made up stuff and I’m not sitting here making it up, it is what it is.
 
It’s crazy you said that because I do talk to a lot of rappers on a daily basis and a lot of them just be saying a bunch of nonsense. They be saying they got this deal you know how it is [laughs].
 
Go to some of these labels and check with some of these A&R’s. I talking from the people at the top of the totem pole to the intern working in the mailroom ask about us, Inasirkl, Bedtyme, J-Hatch, Sic Osyrus, Drawzilla however you want to put it man.
 
How did you begin Hate Money Radio?
 
Before anything big shout out to the PFR Boys my whole click in Mount Vernon, Ny.  I started out putting out mixtapes locally me and my brother then I started getting real successful at it. One day I was driving my car and I pulled up on one of the corners and there was a group of dudes there. One of the dudes came out of the pack and was pointing at my car, because I had got stuck. He was like “Yo I hate money right there”, I drove off but I took that and was like “Yo I’m a throw that right back in dude face”. Even though I  didn’t know him I know I was getting my stuff out there. That what it was and a week later after that incident Hate Money mixtapes was all over the street. Now I just been blessed enough to get a radio situation so I just took it and extended it a little more which is now Hate Money Radio.
 
When it comes to playing artists on Hate Money Radio how should they approach you and what do they look for?
 
We look for what’s hot, I know a lot of people say that but it’s a lot of different hots out there man. I’ve came across some live band music that was hot to me, I came across some spoken word, hip-hop and R&B. If you got a sound that’s pleasing to the ear and don’t just be satisfying to my ears and I think it’s something that my fans want to listen to we definitely gonna show some love. Even if I don’t like it my co-host might like it and be with it or the listeners will and give they feedback. Any artist out there signed or not signed get at me and submit two clean radio edits hatemoneyradio@gmail.com and we will go from there. We respond to every email and give shout-out to those who help with the promotion of Hate Money Radio.
 
So for all the listeners and upcoming artists that want to get on the show where they can check it out at?
 
www.1.fm it’s not .com or .net just www.1.fm and you can check us out on Itunes. It’s every Friday and Sunday or you can check us on myspace we got the live feed on www.myspace.com/1dotfmjamz.
 
Now be honest with me when a lot of artists submit tracks do you get a lot of headaches?
 
Oh yeah definitely we do. We haven’t touched on it, but I DJ for Remy Ma and we in the process of mixing track for her album and a new mixtape so my ears been real big in listening to new tracks.

That’s my biggest upset when you get music from a lot of unsigned and indie artist a lot of their tracks are right from the basement studio. They are not professionally mixed, we definitely get a lot of hot material, but out of ten we might get like one that’s not hot.
 
I talked to a lot of underground artists that your familiar with like Lexx 9Eleven, Class The King, 2ew Gunn Ciz in which they have respect on you showing love to the underground and unsigned artists. Can you let it be known why a lot of these artists got respect for a DJ like you?
 
Because for the most part it’s not about money with me man. Those artists that you named like Lexx, Ciz, Class that’s family right there so it goes beyond the music. When you dealing with outsiders that might not necessarily know of me, but know of me I still continue to how support. I continue to follow the steps that I done for somebody like Lexx, Ciz, and pretty much not knowing anything about the individual who music I’ve been supporting you gotta respect something like that man.
 
How do you feel about a lot of DJ’s now that accept payoffs from artists and all that other crazy stuff?
 
Hey that’s they business man for all them DJ’s getting money for spins, hosting mixtapes, and all that that’s they job man. Money has nothing to do with the kid Bedtyme so it’s never nothing concerning money.
 
What you have going on with Drawzilla?
 
We just released Drawzilla’s “Zilla’s World” mixtape. He got about 22 tracks on there in which he produced all the records and he got specific features that he sought out. We about to put out Sic Osyrus new project and right now we halfway in with that and we just trya come up with a name for it. The kid is definitely busy and 2008 is starting off good. We got a full plate and we just gotta make sure we diet it right.
 
Speaking on your mixtapes it’s good that you doing something different, because when I go to datpiff.com or some other sites a lot of DJ’s all they got is Lil Wayne mixtapes. How you feel about that?
 
[Laughs], like I said man if a DJ wants to put out a certain artists so be it. You can’t knock them dudes for trying to make a living.
 
To wrap this up you have any shout-outs and how it feels to get down with Q The Question for the second time [laughs]?
 
Q you know it always love every trip with you man. Big shout out to my A&R Franchyze Bless my A&R we got a new mixtape situation so look out for the “A&R Report” mixtape which is gonna be available online only. Shout out to everybody that rock with Bedtyme and the whole Inasirkl movement J-Hatch, Drawzilla, Sic Osyrus. Get at me on www.myspace.com/djbedtyme357.
