Who was the first major artist you worked with?
Big L, I did 4 tracks for his album called the big picture
How did yall link up, and how was the whole experience?
Well I was cutting school one day to go home and make beats , so I was walking
home and I bumped big L , I mentioned that I made tracks and he asked if he
can hear some so I took him up to my crib play a couple of tracks for him and
that’s when he picked out the beat ebonic’s , from there that’s
how I ended doing 4 tracks on his album.
"Ether"
was a really serious track you did for nas Can you talk about what your process
was like making “Ether”?
I made ether at like 3 am in the morning one day , my peeps used to come through
and I would play it for them and they would always say the track was crazy,
so one day a mutual friend introduced me to my manager Big Fuzz as an artist
because I used to rap at that time. Then a couple of months go by and my manager
Big Fuzz saw my name under the credits on Big L’s album and he was shocked
, mainly because I was introduced to him as a rapper. So after that we met up
and he shopped the track to nas A&r and then from there it was history.
What was
it like being in the studio with Nas?
Nas is a real humble dude , he made me feel real comfortable, the first thing
he told me when he saw me was “this song is gonna be crazy”
Another
vicious track you did was “We Run This” for Fat Joes album “Loyalty”,
How was that whole experience?
Fat joe that my dogg, he was mad cool to work with it me and joe clicked from
the beginning.

TO BIG L, TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH ALL OF THESE WERE FUN TO WORK WITH,
As the sound behind ludacris’s “Blow it out your ass”

The story behind blow it out your ass is , one day my manager Big
Fuzz got a call from luda. At first he thought it was someone playing games
on the phone but then someone came on the phone and confirmed it was luda, and
from there I just sent the track straight to atl and luda laced it

fun experience
