EyeOnEyez shares his thoughts As a well-known artist and music influencer, retaining anonymity stating:
“Having money is great, but being famous is a liability,” -EyeOnEyez.
When asked about his infamous red mask, EyeOnEyez reflects on his mysterious, introverted nature. E is debuting the highly awaited video featuring the late Prodigy as a way to preserve privacy as a public figure.
EyeOnEyez described the eeriness surrounding the unreleased visual as “dark” and “creepy as hell.”
EyeOnEyez changed his mask from black to red after Prodigy’s untimely death. Symbolizing the transformation of his thoughts from a character in a music video depicting evil and death to an introverted musical genius.
The masked super producer taps fellow trap stars, TI, 42 Dugg, Yung Dro and others to debut his first solo album titled, Greed and Mystery. Emerging from behind the shadows of mystery. Elaborating on the meaning behind the title, he explains:
“Greed is a driving force in the world behind many things; no one wants to appear greedy so they veil it in mystery, creating an uncomfortable feeling in society… Greed + mystery = creates perception of evil.”
With breakout songs such as “We Paid” and “Look What I Got” featuring 42 Dugg, EyeOnEyez explains the inspiration behind the visual concepts.
“For ‘Look What I Got’, I pulled ideas from my favorite TV show ‘Rick and Morty’ and classic film ‘Faces of Death’. I used many themes to bring my thoughts to life and used a simple story line to bring everything to life.”
EyeOnEyez continues to inspire an alternative genre of upcoming artists and musicians and offers simple advice:
“If you love music, you just do it. Most musicians are compulsive. Sometimes it’s against your best interest. Most musicians create music because we have to. It’s in your veins… in your thoughts…ingrained in your every moment of life. Never stop working on your craft. You never know where you may land… or where your imagination may take you.”
