WorldWideConnected.com: Where are you from and what was it like?
I’m from 24th Street, Garden Blocc, California, which happens to be in South Sacramento. I’m from the BLOCC, man! GBC! But, yea, I feel you, I was born in Sacramento but I was raised all over the place. My pre-teen years were spent being bounced back and forth between Sac, Waco, TX, and Prichard, Ala. There were stops in Huntsville, Ala, Ft. Worth, TX, Dallas, Los Angeles, and Arizona… and then I went home, FINALLY, when I was 14 or 15, back to Sac for good. Mama was a rollin’ stone… wherever she laid her purse was her home.
WorldWideConnected.com: For those who don’t know, how long have you been in jail for and what are you in jail for? How many years do you have left?
I’ve been in jail forever, it feels like! Shit, I was in youth authority programs before I hit the county jail or prison. But I’ve been in the pen since 1996 for 186.22, which is gang-related homicide. It’s been nine years of prison so far, and I’ve got 9 more left on my sentence unless I get lucky on an appeal.
WorldWideConnected.com: I heard that Flesh-N-Bone, BG Knocc Out and Tray Deee were in the same jail that you are in, is there any truth to that, if so, did you ever meet any of them?
I’ve been at the same prisons as them niggas at the same time, but they ain’t never walked the same kind of yards as me. I’m level four, max security. I walk the yard with lifers and niggas with 15 years or worse. The only way a short timer could be on a max yard is if that nigga is about to wrap up a decade and change. But I think BG is level four, and I’ve heard good shit about him… He’s not a mark, ya heard? Flesh ‘N’ whatever would mean nothin’ to me if I met him or not because this is prison, not a rap convention. Tray Deee and BG are Crips… if we were together, it would be Crip love, automatic; me and Flesh would have nothing to discuss.
WorldWideConnected.com: I heard you got a new album coming out in 05, do you have a title for it? Who is going to produce it? Any guest rappers? What’s the difference between this album and your other albums?
Yup… new album comin’ for ’05. Man, I’ve got about three different titles, so it’s still in the air. I’ll decide when I have to, ya know? Production is being done by Loki and Speakeasy, plus Lynch and whoever else… it’s early right now and I could still pass on some of this shit if it doesn’t move me. But it’s coming, fa sho. I’ve got Lynch, Loki, No Love, T-Nutty, and, as usual Luni Coleone. There will be others… this isn’t a conceptual thing with lots of focus. I’ll do that with Unforgiven Volume 2 either later this year or in early ’06. The difference between this album and my other albums? I’d say control. This time, I got the last word on every detail, and that’s a first since Psycho Active. Everyone has the freedom to do as they please, to work freely, but I can reject the shit if I think it’s wack. Usually, the album would be done by the time I heard it and I’d hate 60% of the shit and not be able to do nothin’ about it because too much money was already spent. Not anymore!
WorldWideConnected.com: Do you and Brotha Lynch ever plan on doing a duo album together? Or do you plan on doing that with someone else?
I’d love to do some duo shit with Lynch… there would be no better twosome. I mean, me and that nigga got flows that ain’t too many other niggas able to fuck with… For a decade and change now. But there’s always bullshit in the game, little shit that gets in the way. Like niggas think I’m mad at them or whatever, all the time. I’m like, damn, cuzz, I’m mad because you don’t be at me right, not because I don’t like you! (ha ha ha) Feel me? But what can I do, dogg? I’m not suckin’ no cock for nothin’, fuck a beat, a feature, and a collaboration if I have to get on my knees. Lynch is the man in his world, I’m the man in mine… I don’t want to do nothin’ but make music and let it speak for me… I don’t know what to say to make niggas comfortable and secure because I honestly don’t know what the problem is! I mean… Every Blocc nigga Lynch knows, especially 24th niggas, I’ve introduced him to, even recently. If I hate a nigga… I mean… No Love would smash any nigga I asked him to smash, or he would order it to occur, so if I was trippin’… No Love sees Lynch at Lynch’s house… I’ve got niggas in your house… Feel me? So it’s like, damn, No Love treats you with respect because of X-Raided… so why you think I’m trippin’? Damn, nigga, I love you, cuzz, what more can I say? Jesus fuckin’ christ, nah mean?! We’re good!
