A small look at the interview for the full length go to allhiphop.com

AllHipHop.com: You mentioned the song “More or Less” earlier along with Rawkus Records. On the song you rhyme “More Blacksmith and Def Jux.” It’s interesting that a decade ago, you and El-P were label-mates on Soundbombing releases, and both of you are running thriving labels now in respective lines now. Would you have ever predicted that?

... There’s a whole style of music that Def Jux is at the forefront of, and I wanted to pay tribute to them kids – ‘cause they ignite the fire under this whole rap s**t. When this s**t comes crumbling down, those kids’ll still be doing this creative s**t. ...I got Blacksmith based off of watching El-P, based on watching Dilated, based on watching Heiro, and on a major level – Master P, 50 Cent, Kanye West, Jay-Z.
