TMC: For those who may not be familiar with who you are, can you briefly introduce yourself?
MS: Amir Swain Producer/Audio Engineer... I'm from Chester Pa
TMC: Can you tell us how you got started as a producer?
MS: (laughing) its a funny story... I started managing my cousin who happens to be a talent rap artist but we didn't have a producer or a studio.. No support.. We simply got tired of waiting for beats from producers so I learned how to produce and record our records
TMC: Who were some before your time that inspired you the most?
MS: Large Professor, Dj Premiere Hi-tek, 9th wonder, J Dilla, No ID, Alchemist, man it's so many but you get the just of the caliber I named
TMC: What sets you apart from other producers?
MS: well there are some talented producers out here these days... But I think variety is the key to my style being able to produce tracks and have artists ask "they were all by you???"... I'm like yeah and then they say "that's crazy they all sound different" I just say thank you..
TMC: How would you describe your production style & what's distinctive about your sound?
MS: I'm a backpacker with a chip my shoulder (laughing)... My style is fun but serious...crazy but cool...laid back but aggressive... I can speak to your soul and in the same sentence break your trunk!!!!!
TMC: Can you give us a little resume of people you've gotten the chance to work with? & Out of them all is there a favorite project?
MS: man...I'll try to keep it brief (laughing) Claudio Cueni who worked on the audio portion of the Tupac Hologram not to mention his platinum and gold rap sheet, John Graham, Realysm, Teves, TBrown, The Perfect Voice, Devin Martin, Tommy (the group No Question), Jamai, just to name a few.. My favorite experience... Would have to be working with Claudio in Los Angeles... Learning from someone of his stature was the best if u blinked you missed a lesson it was epic..
TMC: What is something people might not know about you?
MS: (laughing) I never planned on doing music or being a producer. I love cartoons and anime, I went to art institute for anime before I switched to audio production
TMC: What do you have planned for the near future?
MS: produce on an award winning level and continue to be a student to the world sound...

TMC: Can you brief us on how you got started producing?
MH: I've always been a musician whether its been in a band or Djing. I first started making beats in my dorm room while selling burnt CDs. While in college word got out that I had some heat. So got back to ATL I worked with a lot of independent artist. One thing led to another and here we are.
TMC: How would you describe your production style?
MH: I really don't have a certain. Throwed Off, Da Wop, and now Smart Girl (Dumb Booty) all sound different. The only thing my productions have is a lot energy. A lot of the rap music these days are dark and depressing and most of it sounds the same.

TMC: How did you get the name?
MH: It was given to me at Southern University because I thought I was the S#%+ while in the band. The name came from Southpark Cartoon character who was a talking "turd". It would've bothered most people if it was them being called "Mr. Hanky" but I just flipped it and made a business. Besides the women loved and still love me.
TMC: Who can you say inspired you the most when it comes to producing?
MH: The people have always inspired my production. There's something about seeing people react and party to your music.

TMC: Do you have a favorite musical project that you've worked on thus far?
MH: Alot of the earlier projects before the Mixtape era. People were fans back the and bought music. Nowadays everybody is a industry boss, CEO, expert and critic. But nobody's buying the music.... right.
TMC: Is there any advice you can you give to the up & coming that you wish somebody would have given to you?
MH: I really don't have any regrets because everything has helped me grow into who I am today. I would just advise everybody people to do them and keep God first. Get a good team a great lawyer, and a budget.
