Back at you with another conversation with one of rap’s most illustrious producers! Dame Grease made a name for himself right out of the gate as the man behind some of the biggest rap records of the late ’90s. He looks back on how it all started, from “If You Think I’m Jiggy” to “Get at Me Dog” and the landmark It’s Dark and Hell is Hot album. Dame talks about his experiences working with the likes of Slick Rick, French Montana and even Tricky! Plus, he updates us on the status of Max B and DMX. Something for everybody in this interview, not one to miss!
“Adult Rappers”- A documentary in progress by Pawl, a former producer for the Def Jux label is the story of “the other 23 hours (off stage) of a working rapper’s life…in the 21st Century.” This project has only a third of the money it needs to be on its way to being finished ($3000 pledged with $7000 remaining) with only days left to fund. Featuring interviews from rap legends and underground mainstays like Bobbito, Masta Ace, J-Zone, Jarobi, RA the Rugged Man, Slug and more, this is definitely worth checking out and donating if possible.

Recently Fader sent me to Memphis where I hung out with as many rappers as possible, including Don Trip, Yo Gotti, Drumma Boy and Playa Fly. Then I wrote an article about the past, present and future of the city’s rap scene. Now you can read it in this, the latest issue.
