Interview by Lunatic 63

How did you establish a relationship with Knoc-turn’al?

Ohh man, that’s a long one (laughs). I got started in this rap game by doing freestyle battles and one night I was out in Dallas doing one (battle) at a club. A dude by the name of Chuck was out there, he a local talent out in Forth worth Texas. He is also a friend of Knoc, and he (Chuck) introduced me to him (Knoc). Knoc asked me to spit a freestyle right on the spot man. Knoc was feeling it and said he wants to put me on. Knoc took me out to the west coast just a few days later and I met the rest of the MathMadix click and we got to working.

Man it was rough at first (laughs). It was difficult for those guys (MathMadix) to get used to my swagger and rap style. It was definitely a little rough at first, but now everyone is on the same page. You know, it’s a whole different story on the west. I was reading the feedback on the "Hard N Da Paint" joint we dropped on Raptalk, and saw people mentioning my slow flow. You know, that’s what’s hot out here in Texas. But I can go fast tempo as well, we gonna show them that with some tracks (laughs). I got much love for the West though.

You can expect heat from it (laughs). I got some real good features on my album, both south and west coast. I got Nate Dogg doing something for it. Dibiase is gonna be on the record as well. In terms of the south, Tum-Tum from Dallas, we did a joint together for the album. I’m also looking to do some work with the Swisha House family. I went down to where they stay, and got to meet all those dudes. It was nothing but love, so we gonna try and get some work done together as well. On the production tip, you will see Vision, Deztined, J-Beam and so on. The album is heat - got plenty of it man. I use my slow flow throughout it, but I also show my ability to jump on some fast tempo tracks.

I’m not to sure right now. Sometime right after we (MathMadix) drop the group album. Myself and Knawledg should be dropping at around the same time. So no date is set in stone as of right now. We are trying to go major with it, so you never know. That is why I’m dropping this Ep "Stunting and Badd Habbitz." You can look for that around the end of February - beginning of March. I am going to press up 20,000 copies or more if we need it. We gonna try and create a little fan base with it. Originally, it was just gonna be for my folk out here in Texas, but if any fans want a copy they can hit me up on Myspace with their address information, and I’ll ship them a copy.

Absolutely. We got four tracks on it. The first track is the one we premiered on Raptalk, "Hard N Da Paint." That’s my man Knoc-turn’al on the hook by the way. J-Beam produced it and it’s a Southern banger. The second track is "Rep The South". It’s produced by Vision, and the title says it all - I’m reppin’ where I’m from. The next track is called "Grain Grippin" and it features Knoc-turn’al, Knawledg and Ripacut. That’s also my boy Craig Jay on the hook, he is from Texas as well. It’s also produced by Vision. The fourth and final song is "I’m from Fort Worth" and it features Kylo The Twin. Vision is behind the boards once again on this track.

Equity Records is the label that we are on. We’re looking for distribution for Equity right now, and we’ve met with plenty of major labels about it. Just about every major as a matter of fact (laughs). They all came with deals, but it wasn’t what we are looking for. Those deals are on the table though. We are trying to get them to up their offers a bit. When we met the majority of these labels, we were not finished with any of our albums. But now, all the albums are lock and key.

Yea, I wanna talk a bit about the producer Vision. He produced three tracks on my EP and he is fantastic. He is currently working on his debut album called "The Epidemic." He’s a mix of Gospel and Hip-Hop. He also has some major labels ringing up his phone. I believe he’s talking with the folks over at Sony and BME right now.

Scarface first off. He is the man down here in the South. 2Pac is another one of course. Always got to say him - he’s my idol - as well as some other southern legends like Lil Flip and Paul Wall. Lil Wayne is another one, I’m a big supporter of Wayne. Knoc-turn’al ofcourse, I’ve always been a big fan of his so it’s like a dream come true to be working with him (Knoc-turn’al).

It would feature Lil Wayne & T-Pain with Scott Storch on the beat. That’s a guaranteed #1 hit right there (laughs).

Yeah, I want to speak a little on Knoc-turn’al. I hear a lot of whispers here and there about "Knoc fell off" and I just want to say Knoc has never fallen off. People don’t understand that Knoc is not the type of dude who is all about the fame. He tells me he wants to get me out there doing it big and he just wants a ten second spot walking through in my video and just go on about his business (laughs). He has put a fantastic group together (MathMadix) and there is lots of good music coming out of it. Lots of talented people, its crazy man. The "California" track we made for the Knawledg solo album, that’s a classic track right there.

I also wanna say Ft. Worth stand up! I’d like to shout out Knawledg and J-Beam for helping me make these hot tracks. Much love from the south to the west coast, It’s MathMadix til’ the casket drops!!
