    LaSuria Kandi Allman interviews Detroit Producer Big Herk



    Big Herk is a solo artist that can certainly hold his own lyrically. He was born and bred on the streets of Detroit,
    Michigan, which definitely comes across in his rough, rugged, and raw lyrics. This artist is a rappers rapper who attacks his street oriented lyrics effortlessly and relentlessly. Herk is able to draw his listeners into a witty story line and paint the listener a vivid lyrical picture of life as a young black male growing up in “The D” or any urban area for that matter.
    Because of his unique style he not only captivates the hardcore listeners but also appeals to mainstream hip hop fans as well.
    ARTIST
    Herk takes his craft seriously. He has made music his life since he was a teenager earning a living lacing tracks with his distinctive baritone voice and performing in local and out-of-state venues. He has appeared in numerous concerts and is one of the most sought after artists in Detroit. If you want some fire call Herk, don’t believe me, ask Obie Trice & Eminem (Herk has appeared with Obie Trice & Eminem on Obie’s new cd “2nd Rounds on Me”), ask Slum Village (Herk appeared on their “Detroit Deli cd”, ask Royce 5’9 (Herk appeared on Royces’ “Independents Day cd”), ask Doughboyz, Cashout (currently signed to Young Jeezy), ask Dej Loaf (she said Herk was one of her favorites rappers).

    ACTOR
    In addition to music and endorsements, Big Herk also finds time to act. Big Herk made his movie debut in a movie called: “Project 313”. Project 313 was selected to participate in the Pan-African Film Festival. At the Festival, Big Herk won rave reviews of his portrayal of an inner-city hood. Since staring in “Project 313”, Big Herk has been requested to appear in numerous other film projects.
    ACTIVIST
    Always concerned about the conditions in his city, Big Herk has made numerous speeches and has attended numerous
    panel discussions about the state of affairs in Detroit. Most recently, he was asked to be one of the keynote speakers at the
