00:30:34: He does a lot of graphic design, he did a lot cover for me.

00:30:40: Me and Sadiq's album XL, he didn't do the cover for that.

00:30:44: So in cases you get to come up with being Jake Palumbo The Last Artifact Album work on that...he did my very first single Frontline which was produced by Sean J. Perryet.

00:30:55: so AAB is one.

00:30:57: those guys.

00:30:59: when I listen to his mix tapes I always knew it was going to be something different and mostly new.

00:31:07: And that got me out of a lot of tapes.

00:31:10: Dope, dope.

00:31:10: shoutout to him!

00:31:11: A hard worker for show.

00:31:38: Oh yeah, oh

00:31:40: Yeah.

00:31:41: Now have another mixtape question man.

00:31:43: i think i know The answer is this one but i'm gonna ask it to you.

00:31:46: Do you miss the mixtape format?

00:31:49: Oh yes definitely i mean This was sheba.

00:31:52: What weird about it like.

00:31:56: They still exist but not in a way that we remember them.

00:31:59: Like DJ Doop, he has a flash drive where all his mixtapes on one flash drive and you can buy it in total like, you know, fifty-sixty dollars.

00:32:12: But this was how we got our information on the street.

00:32:16: DJ Clue tapes.

00:32:18: You know, DJ Craig G., you know DJ S&S.

00:32:23: These are the tapes that you listen to to get new music.

00:32:27: And especially if you was into Stretching Barbedo, or if couldn't stay up at night and listen the radio.

00:32:33: this is how your music should learn.

00:32:36: who's out... Who were the best DJs putting their best songs on tapes?

00:32:41: So that's one thing I miss about mixtapes You know?

00:32:46: The fact artists themselves can make a mixtape on their own without using records that came out.

00:32:54: This is your own music.

00:32:56: and I said, That was like how a lot of MCs got started in their format.

00:33:01: but you know i will always say with the way you see online With lots of blogs A lot of blog sites They are mixtapes within themselves But without music.

00:33:15: so it's just information.

00:33:17: So that kind took place Of the mixtape because You Know The labels started catching on to what everybody was doing.

00:33:25: You know, and they felt like it would get robbed if he was still in the tape and wasn't paying the late.

00:33:30: Yeah man we remember what happened to legendary websites like that PIV, LifeMix, Tapes all

00:33:38: of them.

00:33:39: LimeWire All That stuff should be up there!

00:33:41: Yeah man you some dudes back then were going platinum in the streets.

00:33:46: no record deal just hustled hard work at a loyal fan base.

00:33:52: And then, and you get like that was my man DJ Spinbad.

00:33:55: You know what I'm saying?

00:33:57: RIP to him.

00:33:58: DJ Spinbad with one of the first DJs have the fans up on his ass because they saw this mixtape in.

00:34:05: it had so much heat on there.

00:34:08: In a way he mixed it.

00:34:09: It was so dope!

00:34:11: They were like nah you can't do this.

00:34:14: So that turned into everybody's DJ drama.

00:34:17: A lot of these dudes.

00:34:19: That is why you started seeing them getting record deals.

00:34:23: You know, do your drama or do your clue for Master Flex?

00:34:27: And they start putting our compilation out so that everything changed.

00:34:32: It made even bigger than it was before.

00:34:35: like DJ Drama had a solid buzz back then but when he got arrested by the cops and when they raided his house just from mixtape That made him even bigger.

00:34:46: it had to be in his own way.

00:34:52: It couldn't be no more playing records, promo records you would get from the label?

00:34:58: Yeah.

00:34:58: If was now... You gotta really like think about it by okay let me just some real producers Get these same artists whose records I'm playing To be on my main stage and that's how we started working.

00:35:13: but of course is not the same as an album where are doing all tracks?

00:35:20: Yep, yep.

00:35:20: Some of this stuff was slipping through the cracks and you know what I'm saying?

00:35:24: So that's why we got a whole era people who wasn't getting published in or being paid for work they were doing because it was so under-the table with doing mixed CDs and mixtapes.

00:35:36: That is where it had become actually legal.

00:35:42: It changed everything back then when you know that the cops started to be interested by this mixtape business man, it changed everything.

00:35:50: He had to be creative... ...to kind of find your way and still do it like you say.

00:35:56: you know a compilation album.

00:35:57: That's the thing.

00:35:59: radio is another thing.

00:36:00: You turn your mixtap into mix show And instead of putting on a CD or cassettes put in air on the radio.

00:36:07: Exactly Now people got really buy it.

00:36:11: But then there was gift occurred Because now it wasn't in the street and there was a border Street.

00:36:17: It was for the store.

00:36:19: Yeah, so you asking people to now Not pull up two certain record stores And that's another thing with the big state.

00:36:28: You know deal is being sold in record stores.

00:36:30: bad beat BG wreckage Harlem Harlem music cut in hometown.

00:36:37: So where he was reliable

00:36:39: for you

00:36:40: drop off a master sheet of tape to, you know for a couple of hundred dollars.

00:36:46: These stores started disappearing.

00:36:47: so now there's nobody that sell the mixtape too and we start having.

00:36:51: this is early.

00:36:53: You have people selling on eBay at their own Ebay page And they're selling their albums over there along with selling records That They had.

00:37:01: Yeah So it was everything was changing.

00:37:06: It still even much way more different Now than it Was Even Then.

00:37:12: It's like no more DJs, normal hunts.

00:37:15: They all trying to get radio jobs and be on Twitch or YouTube.

00:37:21: And you're still running into the same problem.

00:37:24: You are playing music that not paying for it Not paying for this record they use To play a funny show to compensate their artist.

00:37:36: So That is why YouTube starts shutting shit down.

00:37:40: Can't have be on there for two or three hours playing our music and you know, You're getting paid more than they are.

00:37:46: Yeah That's why we had like Spotify, you know Apple Music with the playlist The playlists that were here now.

00:37:53: It was kind of a mix tape.

00:37:56: They took that to be right?

00:37:56: Exactly

00:37:57: But it is on Right

00:37:58: Now On Apple what music is on spot-by-by Its own websites where It's almost like promotion.

00:38:11: Yeah, we're doing you a favor.

00:38:13: Yep That's crazy.

00:38:14: now remember some some DJs in France.

00:38:16: I don't know how they did it But they found the way to do illegal mixtapes You know and sell them into that the French Walmart?

00:38:25: No late

00:38:26: to the next

00:38:26: big supermarket.

00:38:27: you could go there In the music section.

00:38:29: then you can find mixtaps with different cover Like this which the cover defined right too me.

00:38:36: no

00:38:37: It's like white label records.

00:38:39: We figured this out because look, a lot of these like twenty-touch DMC tapes those shit is hard to find and you would find that A lot of people in the world still have a tape deck.

00:38:54: You can still have radio on their car with it.

00:38:56: They could play at your set.

00:38:58: So this stuff was still attainable but we're still valuable.

00:39:03: so if you got an old Series of fifty MC tape about Tony touch but people that are growing up.

00:39:10: That might have heard about it They can actually still buy.

00:39:13: you know, that's why they had USB radios with tape next in them.

00:39:17: So he could play the tape once she bought it.

00:39:19: because eventually somebody gonna figure out.

00:39:22: yeah It became collectors item.

00:39:25: nowadays if you still have your hands Yeah

00:39:29: And I've been to like maybe say late nineties early two thousand I'll go to Europe and be in France, then be in Germany.

00:39:38: And you'd go to these like record stores.

00:39:42: I'm sorry.

00:39:42: Record stores...and they still selling mixtapes in the store?

00:39:48: Why would they get rid of it if people know what's going on?

00:39:52: It might not have been ten people walking there asking for them but eventually that is their buy-in.

00:39:58: Yes sir yes sir don't make the hall called hip hop fans happy man!

00:40:02: Exactly, that's why I go everywhere every show.

00:40:05: I do you got CDs.

00:40:06: You gotta take my damn, you know when they tell you CD is going.

00:40:12: Go to a show and somebody asked me for a CD.

00:40:14: Yeah So if we try it out make sure this.

00:40:16: try have everything merged.

00:40:18: Take cd whatever i can make.

00:40:21: of course The vinyl sells the most even more than streaming but always keep everything on deck because never know what people want.

00:40:33: Yeah,

00:40:33: sir.

00:40:34: What do you think about the return of Vynos?

00:40:36: Because to be honest they can take hip hop culture for a return of vinyl because it's Hip Hop that made vinyl popular again.

00:40:47: I love it!

00:40:51: This happened recently when you booked shows and talked to promoters.

00:40:58: They asked what is your Spotify number?

00:41:13: I'm like, well you know what?

00:41:31: But vinyl showed that as long you make it, they will buy.

00:41:39: And being in this digital world is going to be a ceiling where producers and DJs people with even record labels are pressing up Taylor Swift records.

00:41:56: A lot of these stuff coming out new Adele You know, so they press this vinyl because people want to collect.

00:42:04: And that's the one major thing That like Fabi you know They put out my unusual album as a reissue.

00:42:13: I don't mean if it totally pressed up but It gave me new energy for record at twenty years old that i couldn't really promote Like when first came out.

00:42:26: So Facebook was with The Baby Still only certain things that you can use to promote it.

00:42:34: So Facebook got bigger once the record came out.

00:42:39: so now we're here, You know twenty years later Let's start doing new videos for an album That's twenty years old and fat fat beat gave me three boxes.

00:42:51: I maybe have fifty records And i got regular records in less than two weeks.

00:42:55: Well yeah!

00:42:56: Now when i send people to Fat Beats The bottle record from them.

00:43:00: So, you know there's no not vinyl right now.

00:43:07: There is a lot of vinyl out there A lot of vinyls being reissued A lot people.

00:43:13: albums from the nineties are being bought by companies that You know Know they have rights to overwit with these labels and artists.

00:43:23: so They buy the catalog And license it Put It Out No different than Big Beat just did that with our first album.

00:43:32: So as the label went, and I forget where it's at... ...I think maybe Germany?

00:43:37: Music only!

00:43:38: And they put out their Artifact Album on a gold color record.

00:43:44: As long your contract is good With you label You get paid Just like we do.

00:43:52: But thats the thing That you have to love about buying them still being able to be bought because it's bringing people back and new, new people.

00:44:07: To a level of like hey if you ever heard this record look we got an

00:44:11: old

00:44:12: line.

00:44:12: yeah actually by the need to buy the record is some quality wise might not be as good other but in fact that he knows they was able.

00:44:24: It is man, it's crazy when you look at... I remember a few months ago i was in the record store just looking at vinyl what we knew and believe me they had some like

00:44:35: fifteen

00:44:35: or seventeen years old kids almost no people on the store.

00:44:40: Just young people looking up to vinyl.. I was looking at that.

00:44:43: I'm like that's crazy this crazy to see That

00:44:48: why we still made records because of

00:44:51: stuff right now.

00:44:52: Yeah man, it's vinyl then going nowhere.

00:44:54: It is good to see that people still have the passion for it because its a beautiful piece of art when you look at

00:45:00: it And makes you understand why we use Dubai Directive and sit there looking all the credits on the back.

00:45:10: You didn't know nobody owned the credit but just wanted to read them See who they really think will work.

00:45:16: That experience has been lost for a long time.

00:45:20: so With the labels understanding that The label, the vinyl has been increasing.

00:45:28: You know everybody's making records.

00:45:31: Yeah,

00:45:32: it was a whole meeting in a medium That is not going to go away.

00:45:35: you Know even with vinyl being on you know seratoes and the laptop?

00:45:39: Do you still have to touch directly?

00:45:43: yeah Even if its just Seratoes

00:45:45: right now.

00:45:46: Yeah man, like you said it's stuff that she did a while ago.

00:45:50: but I think music is timeless.

00:45:52: If its good music then it can be twenty or thirty-four years old.

00:45:57: Look at Michael Jackson for example The stuff from the Hades

00:46:00: bro

00:46:02: That was fifty years ago and still sounds fresh.

00:46:04: It's still dope.

00:46:06: There are no experience in this.

00:46:07: You've got

00:46:07: people crying Passing out

00:46:15: Yeah.

00:46:15: Oh yeah man, it's so dope to see that as a knowledge like what do you think is the secret?

00:46:21: To making timeless music?

00:46:26: well I think Today this kind of lost we're making records today You know because i think too many people concentrate on The hot sixteen Rather than the hot song to have some that me and Tane made in nineteen ninety-four.

00:46:49: And still can go on stage today, do these songs is they'll get the same effect as what it's about.

00:46:57: you know I'm saying like we're...we got signed to make good records.

00:47:04: We had an A&R That was telling us What were doing right and what would be wrong?

00:47:14: right or wrong, everybody just putting out music and not thinking about the effect that they have on people when they make music.

00:47:26: Like there's no direction you know?

00:47:30: When we came our records he was either trying to make a glove song an anthem song for like the most wild-out record lyrically so None of that is considered in the music.

00:47:47: Today, just how many curses can you say?

00:47:50: How many girls could save my P-word stuck like this to shake my ass.

00:47:59: so there's no concentration on the part.

00:48:03: why should I listen too?

00:48:05: Like give me a reason why she listened to his song saying am i gonna like the song cannot follow the song.

00:48:12: sometimes with all those records we used make back then If they didn't understand everything we were saying, at least they could understand the hook and follow along with that until it get back into the work.

00:48:22: So a lot of music back when we started was for... The club or the party.

00:48:30: but like you know the vibe of having fun.

00:48:34: today Everything's so serious Everybody bars ain't even subliminal no more.

00:48:39: It is like I'm gonna say your name When i do my shows.

00:48:44: I want people to be happy.

00:48:46: I want them have fun, even if my name is no different than the other music idea always trying to bring out that MC vibe and that whole old school feeling.

00:49:00: but you know it's gonna come out in a way that i do.

00:49:05: my music period like... It's going to have scratching on me!

00:49:10: It'll go beat!

00:49:11: It will have bass line.

00:49:13: It's gonna have everything that you would hope, that comes with being an underground artist.

00:49:18: And the record is done because thats why people are going out to buy my music.

00:49:23: it just like goin' and see Arnold Schwarzenegger in a movie.

00:49:27: You're not going to see an Arnold Schwarze-Negget movie.

00:49:29: they'll hope he gonna cry.

00:49:30: They don't even have feelings and shit Like he gonna...you know He gon come in.

00:49:35: I'm fucking shit up.

00:49:37: I'm blowing that up.

00:49:38: I mean shooting him That we know exactly when you go.

00:49:41: So its like.

00:49:42: That expectation of the music is gone today compared to how it used to be.

00:49:48: And I think that if people were able do that again, they would understand and see what about their records a little bit more.

00:49:55: Yup yup, i agree with you because You understood the vision back then?

00:49:59: You found your lane... ...and know..you kept doing there Because you see.

00:50:02: thats why the people like.... That's Why They're Coming To See You At The Shows.

00:50:05: Thats Why They Biting Your Records.

00:50:07: Thats Like Your Stamp You Know Like Your Trademark.

00:50:09: Yeah yeah, It's Like Every... So every show we do, the promo that they did for this show is our resume to do their job.

00:50:24: They got like why are you coming here?

00:50:31: This will be it!

00:50:32: We get this record back then and now when we get there live fans will soak in because now they know what's going on.

00:50:40: And people who don't I heard about him, let's see what he gonna be about.

00:50:44: So we're still doing a job you know saying like and this is what were doing with making records.

00:50:50: We are doing the jobs in order for us to get paid.

00:50:54: The job has to do good For sure.

00:50:56: Enough enough of people that buy a record.

00:50:59: Yes

00:50:59: sir I agree with that, her.

00:51:00: Two hundred percent man!

00:51:02: And we talked about.

00:54:17: No doubt make my gmail explode bro.

00:54:23: Do you have any advice for the young upcoming MCs that are maybe listening to us right

00:54:29: now?

00:54:29: Yeah man, like believing in yourself.

00:54:32: I know it's a cliche but its true.

00:54:36: The more of your self ,the better you'll be at an outcome from now on.

00:54:41: later because... ...the question is do want to compromise yourself or career?

00:54:49: and thats easy.

00:54:51: no.

00:54:52: So I told cats, you know what I'm saying?

00:54:56: Every record you make try to make it better than the last one.

00:55:00: The only thing that we gotta understand is your gonna be judged for what's to say and... You're as good as your last record!

00:55:12: I'll say that.

00:55:13: so if you have to do one record top it again.

00:55:17: keep going higher.

00:55:20: Don't believe in what.

00:55:21: don't let people discourage.

00:55:23: believe that you can do this.

00:55:25: I didn't think i would be doing it this long, and wasn't a lead...I've been successful in doing what im doing with and without my group You know?

00:55:37: And got something to be grateful for because This rap shit will humble you.

00:55:45: Yep!

00:55:47: A lot of dudes need me say that more Because there's alot people who you think out there successful or they not.

00:55:54: You know, a lot of people competing with themselves and not realistic in what they're doing.

00:56:02: because Jay-Z said it in that Fade to Black movie everybody can't be the king Everybody's not gonna number one.

00:56:10: so you have to be comfortable being In your lane Whatever lane you make for yourself.

00:56:15: stay in that shit.

00:56:17: Don't listen nobody else.

00:56:18: don't keep your blinders on.

00:56:21: I tell people, put your blinders on because like when horses race and they put the blunders on them cause they know if they look side to side.

00:56:28: They're going see no other horse.

00:56:29: Oh shit oh what's going on?

00:56:30: And then not gonna concentrate or go straight.

00:56:34: you got blinded though You can't turn.

00:56:36: so stay on your path saying don't Don't look for shiny shit in a row When out there doing their thing everybody is rooting against.

00:56:48: Everybody's not going to be happy for you.

00:56:50: Some people are gonna be jealous, but the best thing I can say is man stick to your... Stick to the things that you like do it and make that shit great.

00:56:59: And then just stick to them.

00:57:00: Yeah yeah man.

00:57:01: As far as i

00:57:02: could tell y'all.

00:57:02: You're right man!

00:57:03: That's another easy thing to do for a lot of people because they always want to see what's going on in their side.

00:57:10: They wanna look at who was this guy doing or should have done the same.

00:57:15: He worried about what you doing.

00:57:17: You're both doing the same thing.

00:57:18: So, you got to make sure that you stay straight because it's straight more straight you stayed.

00:57:23: but if you'd be more successful Doing that and listen to ten people telling me the same things

00:57:28: Yep, we'll talk.

00:57:29: so everybody let's listen and make sure you take those words of advice especially the young game.

00:57:35: Yeah, man.

00:57:36: And we have only a few minutes left in this combo.

00:57:38: Man like do you have any last words for your fans across the globe?

00:57:43: You know everybody that's been listening to you and The Harder Facts from back in the days until now.

00:57:49: I think y'all very much For their support over the years.

00:57:56: I'ma speak with team AKIs.

00:57:58: right now i'm sure they would like To tell ya thankyou because to have our records was our personal thoughts.

00:58:07: put on wax for y'all be entertained.

00:58:10: So, you know I salute anybody that who's ever bought an Artifacts record, ever came to a show?

00:58:18: You know it.
