Rapper C.KHiD is one of the most popular artists when it comes to ‘New Songs 2011‘ or ‘new music’ playlists on YouTube. Achieving over 1 Million views on two original music videos, the South Carolina Hip Hop artist is one to watch. An avid fan of legendary guitarsmen, C.KHiD tells how the guitar sound influences his music and why new song “Wont Stop” has strong usage of guitar sounds …

Here’s the interview:

GN: Why does the “Wont Stop” song have strong guitar usage?C.KHiD: The guitar is one of the few instruments that has a life of it’s own when recorded. It has life and it’s not soft. When the produce, “Flash Beats”, put it together, I knew it was my song for the summer. I knew the guitar sounds would have people feeling the right vibe.

GN: Who are some of your favorite guitar players and bands in history?
C.KHiD: Jimi Hendrix, Elvis, Guns n’ Roses, Kurt Cobain, and Limp Bizkit. The Beatles I have always followed. Throughout my life I’ve studied their music. Also Bob Marley, another very influential player in my life.

GN: Do you play the Guitar?
C.KHiD: No. Not seriously. When I was young I had a kid’s guitar. I have a scar on my foot from where I tried to slide on the carpet like Guns n’ Roses in the 90s. I know how to give a good stage show with a guitar though (laughing), that’s about it.

GN: What do you think of Lil Wayne playing guitar?
C.KHiD: Lil Wayne has A LOT more knowledge when it comes to music than people know. I think it’s great he brought kids that follow new Hip Hop songs closer to the live instrumentation.

GN: Thanks for the interview C.KHiD. Any last words?
C.KHiD: Stay true to your dreams guitarist … Cannot kill how I’m dreaming!
