I love how the three mixed Bag of Tricks Cat and Mega Ran\u2019s hip hop with Brandon Michael\u2019s singing.<\/p>\n<p>I wondered how the three musicians came together for this unique project. Bag of Tricks Cat explained: \u201cIt was a great record to make. Brandon is a really talented singer, and I\u2019m a fan of Mega, so for me to record a song with him\u2026it\u2019s awesome! I originally had Willy Northpole on it; he was signed to Ludacris. We recorded a version of the song together, but he wasn\u2019t able to do the video, so I brought Mega in. We all got together in the studio, on my 22nd birthday, and we laid it down. It\u2019s a record about finding that special person.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The video for <em>Dream Girl<\/em> is so much fun, so I asked him about it. Bag of Tricks Cat smiled when he told me that the making of the video was fun too, but a lot of hard work: \u201cWe had to green screen a portion of it for the animated parts. We had sets made for the dream sequence and the warehouse scene. Everyone had a great time. We had a lot of bloopers that you didn\u2019t get to see in the final video.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>El-JayBeats produced the song and directed the video. Bag of Tricks Cat talked about how El-JayBeats is a perfectionist: \u201cHe made storyboards and ensured everything ran on time. It took 48 hours, two days straight, to film everything. We had to make sure every single light was perfect, every single scene and take was perfect, and they had to be perfect multiple times. It was a great experience. He\u2019s really a professional cat.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-3987\" src=\"http:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Bag-of-Tricks-Cat-Dream-Girl-Cover-Art-225x225.jpg\" alt=\"Bag of Tricks Cat - Dream Girl Cover Art\" width=\"225\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Bag-of-Tricks-Cat-Dream-Girl-Cover-Art-225x225.jpg 225w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Bag-of-Tricks-Cat-Dream-Girl-Cover-Art-225x225-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Bag-of-Tricks-Cat-Dream-Girl-Cover-Art-225x225-38x38.jpg 38w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Bag-of-Tricks-Cat-Dream-Girl-Cover-Art-225x225-186x186.jpg 186w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Bag-of-Tricks-Cat-Dream-Girl-Cover-Art-225x225-184x184.jpg 184w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/>Because Bag of Tricks Cat just came off tour with Mega Ran, I asked Bag of Tricks Cat to tell me about the highlights: \u201cWe hit up London, Cambridge, Birmingham and Dublin. London and Dublin were sold out crowds. It was insane. I did not know that many people overseas love hip hop. It\u2019s a market that not a lot of artists tap into, and they definitely should. The people out there showed a lot of love and support. I can\u2019t wait to go back to Europe and see everybody, all the new fans that I made.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m pretty excited, because Bag of Tricks Cat is coming to the Pacific Northwest, to Portland, so I get to see him live! He\u2019s also going to hit Seattle and Vancouver.<\/p>\n<p>Bag of Tricks Cat has been building a buzz for his band since 2012. What\u2019s his music back story? He told me: \u201cMy grandma was the singer of the 1959 Felix the Cat cartoon. She was a musician during the Big Band Era. As I was growing up, I was around that music a lot. I started falling in love with hip hop at a young age. I can\u2019t sing, so I chose to rap. I like writing lyrics. I\u2019ve been recording since junior high. In 2012, I began taking my music more seriously from a business end and really trying to make a living out of it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Who can we credit as Bag of Tricks Cat\u2019s music influences? \u201cAs far as hip hop goes, I love cats like Nas, Jay-Z and Eminem. I\u2019m also a big fan of R&amp;B and alternative rock. I like The Beatles, Stevie Wonder and Nirvana. I\u2019ve had a lot of music influences throughout the years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bag of Tricks Cat has some great advice for other recording artists trying to make it on an international scale: \u201cI would honestly say don\u2019t settle. Due to money, I feel like a lot of artists settle with a product that is not necessarily as good as it should be. If you really care about the record that you\u2019re making, the cost of the recording and the video shouldn\u2019t matter, the cost of promotion shouldn\u2019t matter. If you have to push it back to make it right, do it that way. Your first impression is everything. You could have the best song in the world, but if it\u2019s not promoted correctly and the visual for it is not made correctly, then it won\u2019t get the credit it deserves.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Besides coming up to the Pacific Northwest, I asked Bag of Tricks Cat what he\u2019s got in store for fans: \u201cI\u2019m going to be releasing my second single from my upcoming project. The next single features Bizarre from Eminem\u2019s group D12. That single releases in September.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I had a great time getting to know Bag of Tricks Cat. I can\u2019t wait to see him in concert!<\/p>\n<p>The Amused Now Featured Artist Series<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-3988\" src=\"http:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Bag-of-Tricks-Cat-cartoon-225x225.jpg\" alt=\"Bag of Tricks Cat cartoon\" width=\"225\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Bag-of-Tricks-Cat-cartoon-225x225.jpg 225w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Bag-of-Tricks-Cat-cartoon-225x225-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Bag-of-Tricks-Cat-cartoon-225x225-38x38.jpg 38w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Bag-of-Tricks-Cat-cartoon-225x225-186x186.jpg 186w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Bag-of-Tricks-Cat-cartoon-225x225-184x184.jpg 184w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/>Bag of Tricks Cat<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bagoftrickscat.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">BagOfTricksCat.com<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/bagoftrickscat\" target=\"_blank\">@bagoftrickscat<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/BagOfTricksCat\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/instagram.com\/BagOfTricksCat\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Cynthia Kahn, Founder of Amused Now<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/amused_now\" target=\"_blank\">@Amused_Now<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/AmusedNow\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/amusednow\" target=\"_blank\">YouTube<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/amused-now\/id916561789\" target=\"_blank\">iTunes<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/soundcloud.com\/amusednow\" target=\"_blank\">SoundCloud<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rapper and hip hop recording artist Bag of Tricks Cat just returned from a European tour with Mega Ran, so I was excited to get the opportunity to talk to him about the tour and hit single Dream Girl, which he recorded with Mega Ran and Brandon Michael.
