You seem to have gone on the missing recently, whats been going on over the last couple of years?

Ive been working on the music still but real life has to be addressed, over here its hard to make a living out the hip hop industry, i got a family to support so like every other broke man Ive been tryin to keep food on the table at the same time as tryin to do this music thing. My man Yogi dropped his first album back in 2001 and then we had the Moorish delta 7 LP in 2002, shabazz the disciple dropped an LP earlier this year so Ive been on the grind, just been tryin to survive at the same time.

What was it like recording with Dead prez?

Dead Prez have taken tracks off me for both their lps but none of the tracks have yet make their lps! we got a few tracks sat up but we haven't recorded a lot. Being around stic and M is always an education cause they people thats always tryin to sharpen themselves and being around that environment rubs off on you, i can say that of all of peoples army. Regardless of anything artistic ill always have dead prez's back cause they doin important work, work that counts.

You have worked with quite a few US artists - how do they differ from those in the UK?

poor black people is poor black where ever you at. the only real difference i can say is its more of an issue me being white over there. over here even in a ghetto area you always got one white kid that roles with the lads. when i was first out in the states regular i was stayin with shabazz in Redhook projects and there were NO other white people around (except the pigs) so i think even though Ive had a lot of love shown to me, a lot of artists are suspicious when they first meet you.

Who has been the most fun/enjoyable to work with over the years?

FUN! ha! most of my best work has been done with good friends and there usually a pain in the fuckin ass to work with! i think a lot of real creative work is so important to the people doin it that its never a relaxed atmosphere so its often a warzone over the smallest of things. Although when i worked with MSI Asylum that was mad fun, those guys are a comedy show in the studio!

What are you working on now?

We got the new Yogi LP 'Bear Necessities' out early September which is hot. Theres an album from the people army group A.Alikes called 'Live or Die' that drops September 27th. And theres the Skinnyman LP out August and new artists I.G. and a soul artist, Laurissa with stuff coming soon.

How did you get involved with the "Council estate of mind" LP?

Ive known Skinny for a while and we had worked together when he was on Talkin Loud then he got banged up again, when he came home we got up and did a few tracks that are on the LP one of which 'Ill be surprised' hes used as the single I'm really proud of him cause its a good album and hes talkin some real shit on there.

Its been along time since your "Birth" LP, When is your next album dropping?

Im almost finished recording my second Baby J LP. Its gonna be called F.T.P. (fuck the police) and I'm tryin to find a situation for it to be out early next year. It features all the artists mentioned above and a few more.

Any shoutouts/promotional messages for the peoples?

White people working in the black music industry should support reparations and give 25% of their income to poor black people.

Dont EVER talk to police unless to give your name address etc. and only when you have to (lie when possible).

If I eat you eat. Role together as a team with your people and make their problems your problems.

All power to the people.
