DJ Flip: Good evening! I'm DJ Flip on WDJF, and today we have Big Man Kerisma on Mar Records. Hello Kerisma!Kerisma: Hello! Hello!DJ Flip: I was looking at your album cover. Why didn't you show your other arm?Kerisma: Well, the good book said in Matt. 6:3, "But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth......." So I decided not to let my other arm show in my artwork.DJ Flip: Whose the little guy with you?Kerisma: That's my producer, Mike Pee Wee.DJ Flip: Oh, I see. So why did you decide to do art on the album cover instead of having a real picture of you?Kerisma: Because I was a tribute artist, and because I was not the artist I was representing, I got booed by some folks, and they called me a cartoon. They said I wasn't real. But if you look on the back of the album cover, you can see a picture of the real me from the cartoon.DJ Flip: Who was the music artist you were giving tribute to?Kerisma: I'm not going to even mention his name. But they know. Because every time I try to give tribute to him, something happens. That's when I began to find out about me and what I could do in music. I still got love in m heart for my favorite rap artist that I was giving tribute to. I was inspired by him. He helped me find me. DJ Flip: Is Kerisma your real name.Kerisma: Yes, it's my real name but spelled differently than the word with a c.DJ Flip: How tall are you?Kerisma: I'm 7 foot 4DJ Flip: How many pounds?Kerisma: 500. Some call me The Giant M.I.C. M.I.C. Simply means mic in check. It's all about rap and not rumble.DJ. Flip: What about those guys that try to give you a hard time?Kerisma: There is always jealousy. They mad because a lot of girls are starting to come around me. I'm a threat now that I'm being successful. DJ Flip: What advice would you give to other rappers out there trying to make it?Kerisma: Well, first I would like to say, If you're a tribute artist, it's okay to be that. But people will never accept you as the other person. But, there are people that will enjoy the tribute if you can put on a really good and enjoyable show. The best thing to do, and this goes for anyone, be the person that you are with your talent. Like I said, tribute is fine. But also keep in mind that people want to see and hear something new. The world is waiting for you.DJ Flip: Well, it's about time to go. I enjoyed talking with you Mr. Kerisma. Get the Giant M. I. C. single, Big Man Kerisma now!DJ Flip
