Hip-hop artist, producer and MN2S PR client Bishop Nehru speaks with HipHopDX in advance of the release of his upcoming LP My Disregarded Thoughts.
Bishop’s interview with HipHopDX explores his creative process, his frustrations with the music industry, his time spent working with legendary hip-hop artists and producers like MF DOOM and DJ Premier, and his aspirations for a Grammy win, remarking: “I’d still want a Grammy, you know what I mean? I feel like I deserved the Grammy last year for Elevators. For me, I look at it different. I look at it like I don’t really expect anything. It’s not really that I don’t care about it or I do. I definitely care about connecting with fans more, but I know if I’m mainstream, I can connect with more people than if I was just making my old stuff. I definitely care about being mainstream too, but I don’t expect nothing. I just work to get to that point. Whatever happens, happens.”
Speaking about how he feels on the day a new release comes out, Bishop opened up: “I’m not really nervous, more like anxious. Sometimes I get negative and almost depressed because — you could probably tell from my music — I’m a pretty emotional person.” Later in the interview, he goes on to discuss his belief in himself and his abilities: “I always looked up to people that believed in themselves and don’t stop until they get what they want. That’s how you get it.”

HipHopDX: What’s it like working with DOOM?
Bishop Nehru: I mean, we’re eerily similar. He’s honestly just a normal dude. He’s one of the more creative people I’ve been around to be honest. He does graffiti, he likes creating action figures, things like that. All this stuff that’s in his music is genuinely him. Once I noticed that, it made his music impact me a lot more.
