Motor City Mastermind: Q&A With Emcee 20 Twen

Detroit is home to some of the stand out performers in the rap world. Established artists like Eminem, Royce da 5’9”, J Dilla, Big Sean, Danny Brown, and Elzhi have helped put Motor City Hip Hop on the map, and now another lyrical assassin is ready to grab that torch and became the newest champion from “The D”.

Thomas “20 Twen” Foutner has been training for a spot in rap’s major league line-up for several years. Honing his craft in Detroit’s underground Hip Hop scene the 29-year-old emcee started catching national buzz with the release of his No Feelings mixtape. The project even received positive feedback from music producer and record executive Don Cannon (Young Jeezy, 50 Cent, Pusha T).

20 Twen is currently prepping the release of his upcoming album A Clockwork Black, and DZI: The Voice caught up with him to discuss his city, his music, and his future.
