Musician Aiden Aziz, aka Mischief, is releasing his new single ‘Blue Pills’

Singer and rapper, Aiden Aziz, who goes by the stage name ‘Mischief’, just is releasing his new single ‘Blue Pills’. We spoke with Aiden about the release of his new single, and his process behind creating his music. 

1. Your previous track, ‘The World Is Mine’, was a massive success. How did that influence your creative process for your upcoming single, ‘Blue Pills’, and the other tracks you’re releasing soon?

 

Thank you. ‘The World Is Mine’ set a high standard for me. For Blue Pills, I wanted to take listeners somewhere else. The less I speak about it the better.  Just know that one song doesn’t influence the other. These are just moments or vibes captured in the spur of the moment on the mic with nothing but a vibe, & pen and a pad. So that’s that. 

 

2. How would you personally define your journey so far in the music industry? What has been the most defining moment for you?

 

My journey has been a mix of highs and lows, each teaching me something new. It’s been about finding my voice expressing my truth without any filters so censorship sucks & this whole woke culture it’s a bit too extreme. The majority of us don’t mess with that. Censorship is making us too sensitive & we’re taking it too far now. Even the majority of those that regulate it personally don’t mess with it, but they have no choice but to give in and conform with trending topics.  I don’t have that problem.  The language I use can & will get wild, hard hitting & sometimes harsh, but I like music like I like my food, spicy hahah. I don’t want to serve the audience vanilla, with boring rhymes or lyrics trying to be liked, sweet & soft all the time. There’s too much of that shit out there already,  know what I’m saying?

My most defining moment was releasing ‘The World Is Mine,’ which showed me that people connect with authenticity. It was the turning point where I realized the impact my music could have by being myself, imperfect & flawed. Nothing is ever black or white, so there’s no room for faking it with me.  What you see is what you get.

 

3. Can you give us a glimpse into the inspiration behind ‘Blue Pills’? What message or emotion do you hope listeners will take away from the track?

 

‘Blue Pills’ is about escapism. I want to put them in a trance without taking drugs. Like taking ecstasy without taking ecstasy, you feel what I’m saying ?

 

4. With four brand new singles on the horizon, how do you see your sound evolving with each track? Is there a specific theme or vibe that ties them all together?

 

I have an infinite number of songs planned for release. The goal is to release a song every month until I get popular enough for people to want to check out 4, 5 songs or even a full album. My sound is different, my thinking is different, I’m different, so is my vibe. With that being said, I see many anonymous new artists putting out a dozen songs at one time  just  because they think they’re good enough for people to want to listen to them for an hour & 15 minutes…That may or may not be true, but don’t let your ego fool you. At the end of the day people have a million options of artists & genre’s at their disposal, so I make sure I always humble myself before I step into the spotlight & when I do I make sure it’s always my best foot forward. I don’t like rushing things.

 

You see you’re not just competing with new comers. You’re competing globally for listener’s against superstars or legendary acts from overseas too & not just from one genre. So my plan is to release a song every month until people are familiar enough with my vibe  & sound to want to listen to me for the rest of their lives. 

 

5. Looking ahead, what are your long-term goals as an artist? How do you plan to push the boundaries of your music and connect with a global audience?

 

My long-term goal is to bridge the gap between the east & west. F*ck that let me rephrase it to something grander. My goal is to bridge the gap between the east and the rest of the world, to keep evolving the genre, never getting stuck in the past with dated sounds and always pushing the limits of what’s possible in hip hop. 

I want to experiment with different sounds, visuals, and concepts to create a multi-sensory experience for my audience. Nobody tries to show off by rapping fast anymore in 2024. I can do that but that’s dated.  I got big things planned with not just my music but giving listeners a visual experience to keep things cinematic & exciting.
