I know a lot of artist say they have a &#8220;hot&#8221; album and they don&#8217;t! This isn&#8217;t one of those cases..this album is not only hot it&#8217;s a well thought out classic hip hop album dedicated to the FANS!<\/p>\n<p><strong> How has the feedback on the record been so far?<\/strong><br \/>\n&#8211; Check the internet for the answer..it&#8217;s been all positive. Even the critics, doubters and haters like it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How did the <em>Hold Dat<\/em> remix with Big L come about?<\/strong><br \/>\n&#8211; That was the brainchild of my dj. Rondevu. That&#8217;s one of the benefits of having a veteran on your team..You throw him the ally oop and he dunks it. I had an idea to get Big L on the record and use one of his lesser know verses. So Rondevu did the rest. We actually reached out to Big L&#8217;s brother Donald and got his blessings on the joint.<\/p>\n<p><strong>20 years ago, you and Skoob released Dead Serious as Das EFX. Looking back on it now, what are your thoughts on that project today?<\/strong><br \/>\n&#8211; In short I loved those times..wish I knew then what I know now.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s the current status of your relationship with Skoob? Will Das EFX make another project together?<\/strong><br \/>\n&#8211; Me and Skoob are cool. We still do show all around the planet..we just came from France,Switzerland,Italy and Spain killing the shows. However, that&#8217;s cool but not enough for me as an artist I want and need to make new music. Skoob and me as DAS EFX aren&#8217;t working on a new album because we just cannot make the time and commitment to do it for whatever reason. Therefore I had no choice but to do this solo album Showtime which honestly is some of my best work. I&#8217;m acutally enjoying being a solo artist.. I did my first solo show in Verona Italy and murdered it..The songs on the album were done with dj&#8217;s and shows in mind, meaning the get the party jumpin&#8217;. Don&#8217;t take my word for it pick it up on Itunes&#8230;See ya soon at a show near you!!<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s Showtime<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#8217;s the official remix for Krazy Drayz&#8217; joint Hold Dat, featuring the late Big L!&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"cybocfi_hide_featured_image":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[8,6,9,4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-64113","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blackout-exclusive","category-download","category-interviews","category-news"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pG6fW-gG5","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64113","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=64113"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64113\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=64113"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=64113"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=64113"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
