In the third & final clip 2DBZ & TheWellVersed’s conversation with Miguel & THURZ, the cali artists speak on their 2012 plans & how significant it is to stay grounded as an artist. THURZ reveals the title of his Sophomore album Blood On The Canvas (news that we broke a few weeks ago), while Miguel speaks on his Art Dealer Chic movement & his plans to unite the LA scene.

What I really want to do is create a platform especially for like minded artists from LA — we’re all friends & been to each other’s shows — now is the time that I would like to put all of my energy into making sure there’s a unity between us. You look at places like Atlanta (and how they stuck together) & you can see that there’s a strong bond between artists there. Los Angeles is spread out across a large area & its effortless for us to obtain lost in our own shit. But there are artists who really want to do things & step out together. We all have different perspectives & types of music yet our energy is the same. We’re all humble & really like to create. I just want to, in some way, bring us all together. – Mig

We’ve received one more special clip featuring THURZ, Miguel & a slew of your other favorite artists on the way. But until then, check out part one of this interview here & part two right here.

Continuing our (2DBZ x TheWellVersed) talk with the two LA talents, THURZ speaks on departing from U-N-I & jumping into his solo career with L.A. Riot. While Miguel speaks on his Art Dealer Chic movement & the reasons for keeping them condensed. Not wanting to oversaturate his fans/bombarding them with massive amounts of music & deciding to take it back to the time where fans actually appreciated the music. Something I sorely miss approximately the game these days…

Fuck a mixtape. Everybody has done a mixtape & that concept is so overworked. I think it makes it effortless to lost the value of satisfactory music. Let’s donate people a concentrated amount of creativity that really means something to (the listener). Give it to them in a way that it is appreciated & you’re not just bombarded with all kinds of information.

Now that I’m back from the Europe tour with CunninLynguists & I’m kicking this pneumonia to the curb, we can finally start rolling out these interviews from SXSW. In one of my favorites from the week, TheWellVersed & yours truly caught up with both Miguel & THURZ. And while many folks first heard of Miguel’s music from 2010′s All I Want is You, he’s been a vital asset to the LA indie scene for many years. So to obtain these two on camera together to talk approximately their past was pretty awesome. In part one of our discussion, Mig & THURZ speak on their friendship, collaborating on the Lately remix, performing in Austin, & the importance to staying true to your roots.
