Breez EvahflowinBreez Deez Treez'The best battle lines are the ones that dig deep at your opponent while simultaneously getting a roar out the crowd. In this case my opponent was myself and the digs were directed inwards. I'm going for silence instead of a roar. I really want people to listen this time.'POSTED 09|01|2009
Ill MondoL'ombelico del Mondo'The biggest thing that sets us apart from other production teams is our
dedication to quality, vintage sound. We were both heavily influenced by early 90's hip-hop, but we are not trying to re-create that sound. 'POSTED 09|01|2009
JerneyeA man and a vision'I had a lot of fun working on my last record but experienced some personal changes since then that resulted in the intensity of making this one. We sometimes create a facade to hide what happens internally. With 'Vision' I wanted both the joy and the pain present.'POSTED 09|01|2009
Kosha DillzDown and out in Beverly Dillz'A lot of hip-hop is Beverly Hills. You walk into a club and there are tons of people ice-grilling and too good for you. Me being white and Jewish, people think I am a producer or some sort of radio persona or something.'POSTED 09|01|2009
MuneshineMinister of Foreign Affairs'The most luxurious item in my possession is a pair of Gucci sunglasses. I'm not that fond of them, but it's hard for me to find sunglasses that don't make me look ridiculous.'POSTED 09|01|2009
Rita JDreams and aspirations'I like to knock things out while they're fresh. I don't really like to revisit rhymes. The energy that comes through me at the time of creation is golden and I try to keep it there before I start mixing and messing it all up. 'POSTED 09|01|2009
Blaq PoetA quick Q&A with Blaq'Marley called Premier and said KRS-One was working on the album and they wanted me on it. At first, I wasn't with it. Then I thought about it more, and said it will be a good look for hip-hop.'POSTED 07|01|2009
SchemeChicago Chicano'It's the best of both worlds. Being a Chicano is something I am very proud of. My life has always been filled with both cultures, it took time, and sometimes it still doesn't make sense, but I do understand how lucky I am to have influences from both sides.'POSTED 06|12|2009
Moka OnlyNo cream, no sugar, moka only...'I just like good old coffee, Regular Joe, but Columbian and Ethiopian blends are some of my favourites.'POSTED 06|01|2009
Adam BradleyPoetics of Hip-Hop'You have major media outlets like CNN asking ‘Hip Hop: Art or Poison?’ as if it’s an open question. I mean, the level of ignorance is staggering. So part of my motivation was to help illuminate the art of MC-ing for a wide audience.'POSTED 05|01|2009
