guy was a football player, one guy was in a band, and another guy was doing his thing in classes and singing to the girls all the time. When you put us together it’s a unique combination. Before you signed to Big Gates Records, was that the only deal you had on the table? Veedoe: It was other people looking at us, but at the time we felt that Big Gates was the best opportunity. Have you had a chance to work with Plies yet? What’s that like? Veedoe: Yeah. We’ve worked with him, but the particular song we did with him wasn’t released. Franky: Working with Plies on that song was a blessing. Plies is the man. Not everybody gets the opportunity to do things like that. Do you have a single for the group yet? What are some of your favorite songs? Veedoe: We’re releasing a single February 1st called “Fresh Off the Lot.” Franky: We have a song called “We Could Be in Love Again” that sticks out a lot to me. We recently recorded the single “Fresh Off the Lot,” “Drowning,” and we have another song called “Way to My Heart” that sticks out to me.
Shai. We have real singing, real soul, real feeling in the type of music we’re bringing back. Working with Plies and appearing on TV, have you had a chance to meet and maybe work with some other big names? Franky: Actually we have. When we were at the “Bust It Baby” video shoot with Plies we had some people come on the scene like Rick Ross, DJ Khaled, Ne-Yo, Ace Hood. Rich Boy just dropped a video with Chris J. We got a chance to meet a lot of celebrities. Tell the people what you hope to accomplish in the future and any upcoming plans. Franky: We want to have longevity in the game. Like Veto was saying, we want to bring the soul back to the game, good music how it used to be. We give it our all in the studio and focus on making classics. Mike: Be looking out for our upcoming album More than Music and the single “Fresh Off the Lot.”Look forward to some good music. Real R&B is coming back. Words by Ms. Rivercity
And what can people expect to hear from your music? How would you describe yourself musically? Veedoe: You can expect real R&B from Unique Image. We’re trying to bring back how the music scene was ten years ago. A lot of people say we’re a mixture of Boys II Men, Jodeci, and OZONE MAG // 21
