Interview here, download and links below...

1.) - How did you and Dibbs hook-up?



Timmy Grins and Geoff and The Guerilla Fist kids made that happen. The trade show "Magic" that they hold in Vegas every winter/summer was goin on and i had wanted to check it out for a while and i had a gig in LA a few days after anyways so i just booked my flight a little earlier so i could meet up with Geoff and Forrest and them. They had rented a house out there and Dibbs was staying with them. Timmy was sending Dibbs songs that i was making for the "BFD" tape already weeks prior to this so he was already getting peppered with propaganda from the homies. They just put us in the same house for a few days and we ended up hating the same shit and laughing at the same jokes. Timmy was like, "you two are the SAME motherfucker. You should be working together." So we watched a ton of shitty 80's comedies, drinking a ton of shitty beer, smoking a ton of cigarettes and after i thought his decision-making was almost as fucked up as his blood alcohol level i got on one knee and proposed to him.


2.) - With technology the way it is today, did you find it being hard to work on the mixtape with him, with you in NY and he in Cinci?



Not at all. I had all the songs completely recorded before he even stepped to the project. It was half & half on this. We knocked them all out @ Deejaytone's crib in Troy, NY and shipped all of them to Dibbs in Ohio and he went to town on the joints on his own time. Being an artist with no label to call a home and having no deadlines or dummy press to fanagle or tour schedules to prepare for i didnt give a shit when he finished it just so long as we had it before Lindsay Lohan broke up with Samantha Ronson. Blam-o fam-o.


3.) - By getting with Dibbs, you obviously wanted to take the project in a certain direction, that being more rock/metal/hardcore/blues aspect, but while still keeping it hip hop...Tell me more about the theme of the record and the creative process with Dibbs?



I mean, i know he fucks with alot of different styles. The War Pig/Co-Flow shit. Dibbs brought the pit back to hiphop. Onyx and Biohazard did it first. But it was gone for a while, unless you listened to Canderia or Downset. I came up listening to this motherfucker. Alot of us did. That mash-up craze was just some hipster trend shit. He had already been doing it for years. That's homie's shit. That's the homie's style. So, anyone who doesnt know his style is a fucking idiot. As far as collaboration as a whole, I think the mixture of different styles is what keeps art fresh. Thats Os Gemeos gettin up with Doze Green. That's Warhol gettin up with Jean-Michel. It makes perfect sense. So me and Dibbs basically got together and threw a party for your ears. Dibbs brought the beer. Dez brought the whiskey. Now DANCE MOTHERFUCKER!



4.) - Do you feel that a lot of emcees, performer's, other artists are using more bands, more rock-based samples, and putting out project's using current rock-radio hits?



This goes in cycles. Always has. Always will. Cage has Glassjaw fans. Ill Bill has Madball fans. Aesop has Lucero fans. Lil Wayne has Gym Class Heroes fans. Sage has Against Me fans. And Atmosphere has EVERYONE.


5.) - Besides the amazing name and cover, how do you feel that you(r) project stands out from the saturated music market?



Superior product. I know it sounds corny cuz alot of dudes look up to this guy but whatever, i was watching Slug on MTVU. He was on it alot when "Cant Imagine" was being pushed. Anyways, he was on, and somebody asked him how he seperates himself from the rest of the pack (or something to that effect) and his response was simply, just put out a good product. It's a simple idea but in a complex world the simplest answer is usually the right one. The cover is pure handsome for sure (because my roommate Mitch is the fuckin MAN!), but the music is solid. Its authentic real hip-hop shit. I know i can rap. Most people know i can rap. Okay, what else? Can i make you dance? Can i make you laugh? Can i make you cry? Can i make you put down that bottle? Can i make you pick one up? So as serious as i am about being that rapper who can rap circles around all your favorite indie rap douchers, this project doesnt take itself so seriously that it cant make you dance and be silly too. Rap is all cocaine and high fashion. It sucks. But that's the way Americans are. We let the system tell us what we like and what we dont like. We dont go out of our way to see the options that arent presented to us on huge billboards and ... ugh, im ranting. Shit. And i promised that i wouldnt rant. And here i am ranting. Okay. You get it. Go download the mixtape you fuckers.
