Yo....its with great pleasure I give you OC.I should'nt have to say more but I will or the idiots out there.OC is what hip hop is.No gimmicks.Just skills.Easily over 10 years in the game and still going strong.I caught up with this original D.I.T.C. and heres what went down.Your welcome,YOUR ALL WELCOME.

1.FOR THOSE THAT DONT KNOW WHAT LABEL OR GROUP ARE YOU SIGNED TO PRESENTLY?

I JUST FORMED A GROUP WITH A.G. AN OF COURSE I'M A OWNER IN D.I.T.C RECORDS.

2.HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT TODAYS HIP HOP,AND WHEN I SAY THAT I MEAN IT ALL THE HOT SHIT THE WACK SHIT....HIP HOP AS A WHOLE AND ITS DIRECTION?

ITS SOME GUD AN SOME BAD ITS A NEW DAY TIMES CHANGE AN THINGS HAVE TO EVOLVE BUT
FOR THE MOST PART ITS ALL HIP HOP WHETHER WE LIKE IT OR NOT.

3.AS A OG ARTIST IN THE GAME ,IS IT HARDER FOR YOU TO GAIN NEW FANS WITH THE SHIFT IN HIP HOP GOING FROM SKILLS TO GIMMICKS

NOT AT ALL , I KNOW I CAN'T TALK THE SAME SHIT THE YOUNGER ARTISTS TALK BECAUSE IT WOULD'NT REFLECT WHO I AM AS AN ARTISTS IN THIS PRESENT DAY PLUS I'VE NEVA BEEN ONE FOR GIMMICKS AN IF I TRIED THE PEOPLE WHO DO KNOW ME OR WHATEVA FAN BASE I DO HAVE MOST LIKELY TURN THEY'RE BACKS ON ME COMPLETELY.

4.HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT MIXTAPES?

I'VE NEVA BEEN ONE TO RIDE THE MIXTAPE WAVE BUT I SEE NOTHING WRONG
WITH THE MIXTAPE CIRCUIT ,IT GIVES ARTISTS WHO AREN'T KNOWN AN OUTLET TO
GET A NAME FOR THEMSELVES ESPECIALLY WITH THESE LABELS NOT SIGNING TOO MANY PEOPLE THESE DAYS .

5.DO YOU THINK,THE INTERNET IS DESTROYING HIP HOP,LIKE MANY PEOPLE COMPLAIN ABOUT?

ITS A CATCH 22 WITH THE INTERNET, THE PROS OF IT IS ITS EASY FOR YOU REACH THOUSANDS OR MAYBE EVEN MILLIONS OF PEOPLE TO HEAR YOUR PRODUCT.
THE CONS R ONCE A PERSON GETS A LINK FOR AN ALBUM OR MIXTAPE THEY CAN PASS IT ON TO OTHERS FOR FREE ON SOME DOWNLOAD SHIT,IT DEFINITELY PUT A DENT IN ALBUM SALES AN BLOGGERS CAN BRUISE YOUR EGO ON SOME CRITIQUE SHIT. THEY'LL TAKE NO PRISONERS WHEN IT COMES TO RATINGS.(EDITORS NOTE:THATS WHY WE DONT DO MIXTAPES OR ALBUMS)

6.HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT WHERE YOUR AT IN YOUR CAREER THUS FAR,AND WHERE TO YOU ULTIMATELY WANT TO TAKE IT?

I'M IN A GOOD SPACE MENTALLY STILL TRAVELING GETTING SHOWS,MAKING A NICE LIVING OFF MUSIC BUT I'VE ALWAYS STUCK TO THE TRADITION OF DO WHT YOU LOVE AND THE $$$ WILL COME IN ...DO IT STRICTLY FOR FAME AN FORTUNE AN IT'LL BITE CHU IN THE ASS CAUSE IT HAS NO MEANING. AS FAR AS ME TAKING SOMEWHERE I'M PUSHING FOR A LEGACY.

7.FAV. BIGGIE JOINT AND WHY?

UNBELIEVABLE... CAUSE OF THE MULTI LAYERED METAPHORS HE FREAKED THROUGHOUT THE SONG ONLY EMCEES PICK UP ON THINGS LIKE THAT AN NOT JUST UR AVERAGE LISTENER WHO ENJOYS RAP MUSIC.

8.FAV. TUPAC JOINT AND WHY?

BRENDA'S GOTTA BABY, THE EMOTION HE DISPLAYED ON THE RECORD SHOWED AN ARTISTIC SIDE AND NOT JUST A RAPPER.

9.SANNI LATHAN OR NIA LONG AND WHY?

NIA LONG OF COURSE THAT'S JUST MY TYPE OF FLAVOR!!!!!

10.BALD , BUSH ,OR NEATLY TRIMMED?

BALD OR TRIM ...BUSH CAN GIVE U SOMETHING LIKE RUG BURNS..LOL

11.TOP 5 MC'S (IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER)

KANE
RAKIM
KRS 1
KOOL G RAP
BIGGIE

12.ANY WORDS,OR THOUGHTS FOR THE PEOPLE THAT THINK HIP HOP IS ALL NEGATIVE?

DO THE KNOWLEDGE AN RESEARCH IT.. ITS GHETTO PAIN ,LOVE ,ANGUISH, OUR STORY BASICALLY!!!

13.DO YOU THINK A PROMOTION SITE LIKE THIS WILL BE HELPFUL FOR ARTISTS,SUCH AS YOURSELF AND DJ'S,AND FANS WHO WANT TO ESCAPE FROM THE SO CALLED HIP HOP,THAT THEY PLAY ALL DAY ON T.V AND JUST CANT FIND THE HOT SHIT WE'RE LOOKING FOR?

HOPEFULLY IT'LL OPEN THEM UP TO A BUSINESS THAT'S TRIES KEEPING THE PLAYIN FIELD ONE SIDED WE HAVE TO OPEN UP TO NEW THINGS OR OLD FOR THAT MATTER.

14.WHEN CAN WE DO SOMETHING FOR THE FIRST OFFICIAL STRICKLEE HIP HOP MIXTAPE?

WHENEVER , ITS ON YA'LL

15.LASTLY,WHERE CAN A DJ CONTACT YOU AND WHAT DO YOU WANT TO SAY TO ALL YOUR SUPPORTERS AND NEW FANS OUT THERE.AND ANY SHOUT OUTS.
