AllHipHop spoke with Hotblock Jmoe about the new single, how Tory got on the record, and more!
AllHipHop: What was the inspiration behind “9x outta 10”?
Hotblock Jmoe: “9x out of 10” is about me expressing, I am who I say I am. Embracing my new lifestyle but still hungry for more. Long nights and consistency goes a long way, so I figured if I keep working hard, “9x out of 10” I’ll be the hottest.
AllHipHop: How’d you get Tory Lanez on the song?
Hotblock Jmoe: My team and I were listening to a few unreleased tracks and this one came up, but it had a open verse, So my manager Tes asked, “Who do I hear to feature on the song?” And threw out a few names. When I said Tory, he mentioned he knew someone in his camp. We pushed the button on that and now we got a hit.
AllHipHop: What was your vision for the video?
Hotblock Jmoe: I really wanted to capture a vibe at the Penthouse surrounded by 10’s. I had fun shooting this video, the whole experience was dope. First time officially meeting Tory too so that was cool.
AllHipHop: One thing I would like fans to know?
Hotblock Jmoe: I’m a versatile artist. Don’t get used to just hearing one sound from me.
AllHipHop: What can we look forward to next?
Hotblock Jmoe: I’ll be releasing one more single before I announce the release date for my project that will be featuring a few artists I had the opportunity to lock in with. Super excited for you guys to hear it, really put my heart in it so I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
