Hungry?: What is the cranberry show? Who, and what is the craze all about?
TCS: Basically "The Cranberry Show" or "TCS" is made up of one mc by the name of Young Focused who just happens to like to skate, and one skater by the name of Arcane who just happens to like to mc. And both of us came together for our love of everything dope. i.e music,clothes,hot chicks, sweet plastic watches, but mostly music. As for the craze I really don’t know what it’s all about cuz our music sucks..lol..no, but I think it stems from the fact that we just make music we like and people who are like us love it too. And it helps that we freakin rock shows!!!
Hungry?: Who and how was the name created?
YOUNG FOCUS: well we were chillin on the front room floor one day after we recorded our first single "Grind it out" which you can hear on our myspace by the way if you go to myspace.com/cranberryshow. But we decided we were going to need a fresh name that describes us to a tee, and also describes what we wanna do in the music industry. So rog (Arcane) decided we needed to have "show" somewhere in our name cuz our lives are like a reality show cuz were always doing something extremely stupid or breaking something.
ARCANE: Then Charles (Young Focus) thought we should use the "cranberry" because cranberries flush out your system and we think of hip-hop as a system that we wanna flush out with good music. So it was a joint effort
Hungry?: Describe yourselves and the group persona?
YOUNG FOCUS: well me myself I’m actually like the livewire of the group which you can see if you check us out on youtube keyword "the cranberry show" cuz ill take any dare no matter how dumb it is, and I’m always the loud one entertaining everyone and saying dumb shit..lol..but then I have this other side where I just chill but that side is usually when I have a lot on my mind or I’m like tired or some crap. I think our group persona would best be described as Supersonicdopealicious that’s a word I made up that combines everything cool,fresh,awsome,and dope in the world..lol
ARCANE: I’m the more laid back one, I’m the skater of the crew. But I also do a lot of the crazy stuff u hear about at our shows. Like jumping off speakers or climbing things. People usually say that I’m the gentlemen of tcs and focus is the man whore…lol
Hungry?: Hey you guys have a reputation for having some pretty live shows, tell us the wildest things that have happen and where?
YOUNG FOCUS: well the wildest thing for me would probably be when I did a frontwards flip off stage at this club called "quarters" on the east side of Milwaukee and the worst part is no one caught me..lol
ARCANE: Well it was about two weeks ago at a spot in Milwaukee called the Miramar theater. Someone was in the front row filming our show and we just happen to have water bottles that we emptied all over the crowd. They were like u guys wet and ruined a ten thousand dollar camera..lol..I was like why the hell would you have a ten thousand dollar camera front row at a tcs show anyway?
Hungry?: You guys have a nice fan following,(of course your music but) please tell us why?
YOUNG FOCUS: well the ladies follow us cuz we're freakin hot guys and they all wanna do us..lol..but all in all I think we have so many fans because there’s so many people in the world that just wanna be fresh and party it up and that’s what we imbody, that part of you that just wants to get away and go to island 'leave me the fuck alone and let me listen to music get wasted". But we also have die hard hip-hop fans cuz if you listen to our tracks we have mad lyrical content in them. See our favorite mc's are Lupe Fiasco and Jay-z so what we have done is combine party and feel-good music with crazy lyrical content. And that hasn’t been done before.
ARCANE: People are attracted to us because we’re your “average joe”. We don’t try to be anything we’re not, and we make it cool to be yourself. Plus we’re wild and crazy so you never know what to expect
Hungry? Explain "TCS" hunger? How will it be filled?
YOUNG FOCUS: well my hunger is simply to make dope tracks till I leave this earth. I guess that will be filled when I die..lol

YOUNG FOCUS: well my hunger is simply to make dope tracks till I leave this earth. I guess that will be filled when I die..lol
ARCANE: I agree with Focus our hunger is to just make dope music. You don’t hear us talk like we the best, or we want all the money in the world. I focus on making the best music possible and stay different, fresh and creative.
Hungry?: What does your city lack, what can "TCS" do to change it?
ARCANE: A lot of music sounds the same here. No disrespect, but no one from our city makes music like us so that’s how were changing it
YOUNG FOCUS: Yeah right now I think our city lacks versatility. everybody is doing the same thing. They rapping about drugs,guns,money, or girls shakin they're ass. And then you got the hip-hop heads all rhymin about how they hate the money,guns,and drugs rappers. You know a few people doin that is needed to keep the musical seesaw balanced, but not everyone can pull it off. It’s a lot of subjects to rhyme about and I think we need to find new ones and use some different styles. What were doing to change it is just being us because we’re different and kind of weird anyway
Hungry?: No, disrespect but you guys have no cd out or song with any major
artist's, but yall have the midwest scene buzzing, what's the secret?
YOUNG FOCUS: Man first off thanks for that compliment. but I think some of it has to do with our shows because we've had people tell us "man I couldn't hear anything yall said but yall had me hype" and the rest is that people see we're just ordinary slackers with a thirst for a good time,good music, and fresh kicks
ARCANE: YOUNG FOCUS!!! Lol..That guy is a genius hands down. A lot of the dopest ideas and creative ways of attacking songs start with him. Then I hear it and take it to mars! We work very well together because we’re so different but the same. And aside from the few cats from the chi no one in the Midwest is really making music like us. In the sense of the new wave of sound
Hungry?: What are some of "TCS" accomplishments, history in the game as a group or solo?
ARCANE: To me our biggest accomplishment is the fact that we are semi successful without having an album or any real music in the streets. Plus we never changed who we are to make it happen
YOUNG FOCUS: Agreed
Hungry?: When is the cd being released and the name, and who you all work with?
TCS: Well were still working on the release date, and we can’t reveal the name right now. But we have production from Milwaukee’s own 40 mil who is pretty much killing the city on the production tip right now. Also our homeboy Klassik who is the dopest up and coming producer in the world..lol..not just Milwaukee, the world. And last but definitely not least our brother of another color Kilgore Trout. He has the most far out beats you ever heard but they're super ill. We didn’t do any collabs because we just wanna show you us
Hungry?: Lastly, what is your favorite thing about your city?
ARCANE: The cheese, the skate scene and the women!! O yeah, and of course the love and support we get
YOUNG FOCUS: DRUNKIN HOT GIRLS!!!!!
