Makiin Melodiiez Makiin Moves

Getting to know the real Makiin, this rising star from West Palm Beach has definitely been making moves lately. She first caught our attention freestyling in a Cypher with down south artist, and we were truly surprised. Makiin was the only female emcee, and murdered her freestyle. As seen on Fuse, we can say she is a true talent and has what it takes to make it to the top. We'll continue to follow her success and keep you updated on this rising star as well!


To become more familiar, we had a chance to interview Makiin herself! Check it out below: 

The Shootin Starz: Where did 'Makiin' come from?
Makiin: Makiin was a nickname given to me by an ex. It was originally "Makin" but after the break up i kept the name and added the extra "i" lol


The Shootin Starz: What sparked your interest in becoming a Rap artist? 
Makiin: I used to live in Roatan Honduras. I got together with a Reggaeton group called "King Squad" and linked with the producer "Krazzy" (RIP baby) and he started writing hooks and small verse for me and kinda just forced me into being an "Artist." Rapping didnt happen for me til i moved back home and linked with some boys from highschool who rapped.

The Shootin Starz: How long have you been rapping?
Makiin: I've been doing it since 2006.


 The Shootin Starz: Who in the rap game do you admire?
Makiin: Well there's two favorites for two different reasons. Eminem is my favorite male.  I love everything about the way he raps. I simulate it into my own music as well, if you couldnt tell! LOL His creativity with his music is inspiring in itself and besides him being white and over coming the bullshxt in the industry, he used humor and would slam himself in his own music and freestyles and earned his respect that way. And then there's Missy. That's my BXTCH!! lol She's just amazing in every way possible. I truly admire her, she would be my dream collab!


 The Shootin Starz: Where did your inspiration come from for the mixtape?
Makiin: Well "Makiin Noise" was kinda misinterpretated by everybody. Alot of people who copped my mixtape were disappointed in all the collabs. They said "There's not enough Makiin!" I did it that way for a reason though. I wanted to do as many collabs as i could so i could work with all the talent i support in my county, that way i could focus all my singles solely on just "Makiin." I named it "Makiin Noise" because i wanted everyone to see all the talent that Palm Beach has to offer and with 19 features, i def "Made Noise" in the county!


The Shootin Starz: How long did it take you to record your mixtape? 
Makiin: The whole process took about a month tho. "Makiin Noise" was quick and painless 

The Shootin Starz: How do you feel when people compare you to other women in the game? Ex: Iggy Azalea
Makiin: Hmmmm That's a question that i will probably get asked in every interview. LOL I've already had blogs written about me saying im "jockin Iggy & Azealia Banks." I had to just laugh at those accusations because i've been doing this too long. They were both irrelevant til this year and I've been goin at it for 6 so.... BUT I do support most Femcees; black, white, purple, yellow, whatever; if you're good, if you go hard and if you made it for the "right reasons" i will support you. There are a few (not mentioning names here) that i dont really fxck with but hey if they're making money and living their life, thats not my business nor my concern, all i can say is watch out cuz i will be in that starting line up real soon! 


The Shootin Starz: What are your plans for this year? 
Makiin: Double the shows, Double the singles, Double the visuals. Make quality music that'll withstand the weight in the industry. I've already signed with a new management label out of Brooklyn and they've already gotten pick up by Sony so it's on! It's all about hard work, Staying Humble, and By the Grace of God keeping faith and staying motivated! You gotta want to make it as bad as you want to breathe and I'm ready for the challenge!


The Shootin Starz: Anything else you'd like to add?
Makiin: I just want to thank Shootin Starz and you lovely ladies for the opportunity to be on your blog, & also #TeamMakiin i fxckin Love you!!!
