Jimi Hazel (24-7 Spyz - vocals)

SPB: The music industry has changed a lot over the years. What’s been the most common constant since you got started? 

Hazel: The mentality of the new guard is the same as the mentality of the old guard. The box is still the box and as long as it has four corners, those that sit in ivory towers behind desks will always want to fit you into said box. 24-7 Spyz has remained true to ourselves, our craft and our fans because there has never been a box strong enough to contain us...............

 

Listen to 24-7 SPyz' new record, The Soundtrack to the Innermost Galaxy.
