We are honored to speak with Figub about his passion for music, his philosophy and the latest project "4x4 Palestine Jeep Beats"! Figub Brazlevic visited Palestine in 2016 for a project with refugees. While he was there he took many footage from landscapes, etc. Figub considers his Beats as "Jeep beats" or "Submarine Beats". The title of the songs are impressions of what Figub saw and felt while his stay. Take a seat and enjoy the ride!

Brunt Poet: “ I try to capture as many aspects of my experiences in my music and use it as a true form of expression as possible.”
Tumblr media
We had a chance to sit down and speak to Marcus Mandible aka Brunt poet, a Hip Hop artist from Brighton UK, and frontman of the Rap / Rock band Brunt Poetry. 2017 has been a big year - having performed solo and with Brunt Poetry across the country and releasing new music for both projects.The debut self released solo album "Don't Worry About It" has been featured online & on radio stations in the UK, US and the rest of EU and has received positive reception as did the Brunt Poetry project "Dirty South / Green Fish". 
Some hail him as a combination of Joe Strummer, Mike Skinner, John Cooper Clark which just shows the flair and potential of Brunt Poet and his projects! 
Following is our “conversation by email” about his work, his story, and his creative  process.
Nodef: Who is Marcus Mandible aka the Brunt Poet? 
Brunt Poetry: I'm a hip hop artist & promoter from Brighton, UK and I have worked with several producers on different projects that are out now including my debut solo EP - "Don't Worry About It". 
"DWAI" was produced by Mike Wilson, Sam Winter, Harry Fulls & Joy Isernia at Mike & Sams studio in Brighton and fuses Hip Hop, EDM & Spoken Word.
I also front a rap/rock band called "Brunt Poetry"  which is where that name came from.The Brunt Poetry line up is - John Townsend on drums, Ed Lamb on Bass and Charlie Welfare on guitar. We are all from Brighton!
Nodef: What sound suits you best? Do you change your approach according to the genres? 
Brunt Poetry: I had been performing Spoken Word regularly in Brighton for a year or so before Brunt Poetry formed and I enjoyed the change from a 100% free verse to fitting lyrics between bars of music. Nothing quite compares to performing with live drums and bass hammering down whilst you spit bars.
At the time Brunt formed I was also working on solo material and the band went under many line up changes which made gigging difficult - until it became what it is today with a solid line-up - and so things took a natural course.
2017 has been big for my solo work - In January I released "Don't Worry About It” (EP) &  "Stash Tin” (EP) and most recently I released "VOD N ICE (EP)" produced by Cloud 9 of Yogocop Records.
The style of each EP is different and I enjoyed switching it up on each one.
There are also two brand new Brunt Poetry songs available through Bandcamp, which once again totally switch up the style.
To be honest I enjoyed making all of them equally and only hope each one finds the right ears.
Nodef: How did Brighton shaped your expression?
Brunt Poetry: My life has been full of events that have inspired my writing. From success to loss. I try to capture as many aspects of my experiences in my music and use it as a true form of expression as possible. Although I love a good punchline and boldness. 
My lyricism started off as a politically driven spoken word act years ago but the introduction of instrumentals and the full band projects allowed me to expand my wordplay and work within a different context.
Brighton is a small, transient and incredibly busy city full of intricate and complex relationships. I don't think I would be quite who I am today if it wasn't for this city.

Brunt Poet - Potential  
Nodef: How did Bill Hicks influenced you? Who else? 
Brunt Poetry: Bill Hicks is a legend ! His brutally honest comedy has always rung home with me and I have to thank my dad for getting me into his work.
Other great (musical) influences on me have been Rage Against The Machine , Linkin Park , Aesop Rock, Plan B, Skinnyman, Taskforce,  Bob Dylan, Wyley ... to name a handful. I’ve always listened to an eclectic mix of genres but also always been drawn to lyricism.
I’m very sad to hear about Chester's (Linkin Park) death. They were very influential to me and I always respected his honesty surrounding his troubles.
Nodef: Take me through your creative process.
Brunt Poetry: Often my creative process starts from freestyling to myself at home whilst making a cuppa or something. I wrote "Open Mic Knight" entirely from freestyle whilst my mate beatboxed on the sofa at our house. It was only later with the band that we polished it and fine tuned it. It still stands as the most popular Brunt Poetry song!
Actually the whole of the "Stash Tin" EP produced by Joy Isernia (a long term collaborator and friend) was written from freestyle audio recordings from a gig the night before in Bristol. That's why the EP has such a natural and sometimes imperfect flow to it. 
The art of the one take vocal recording is a hip hop classic! I’d also like to take this opportunity to big up "Immigrant Swing"  for having us at their album launch, which is where the lyrics for Stash Tin were originally freestyled. Awesome band. Awesome night. Nodef: What kind of stories are you trying to tell? Do you channel your frustration with the world into your lyrics directly or do you take more subtle approach?
Brunt Poetry: I try and tell stories without making my music too linear. I like people to take their own story from my lyricism so hopefully my tracks make different people feel differently. I definitely channel my emotions into the lyrics but I also try not to let my personal opinion or bias take control. I also only like to release things that make me laugh or smile. Everything I do has a dry British wit about it and retains a tongue in cheek nature.

Brunt Poet - VOD N ICE Full EP
Nodef: You are an indie artist in the UK, can you live just from your music or...? 
Brunt Poetry:  My money from music comes in from various sources BUT that's not what its all about and definitely not what I got into music for. But yeah getting paid is great. I still work part time to keep things ticking. For me the most important thing is continued support for the scene and building the network. Who knows where it will go. We are all in it together. I love sharing my work and promoting others! Nodef: What’s your approach to making things happen today? 
Brunt Poetry: When a project is right, you can feel that from the start. Keep pushing forward with the people who push with you. Energy! 
Nodef: What are your plans for the future?
Brunt Poetry: More live shows! Next catch me at New Cross Inn, London, October 12 playing with "The Fremen". More live shows! Next catch me at New Cross Inn, London, October 12 playing with "The Fremen".
Nodef: What's on your playlist right now?
Brunt Poetry: I'm currently listening to the new KRS ONE album on repeat! The World Is Mind! Dope. He's still got it.
