Partial discography - For House of Pain records, see the group's main article. So if I spent $ with you it's definitely because you have dope stuff. Best $ I ever spent on sounds and I have 20 years of samples I've collected. Thanks for doing what you do at The VIP Soundlab by Making great Drum Kit products and Tutorial videos. I would like to be able to rhyme along to songs like it used to be where you could recite a whole Rakim verse word for word. Some songs have literally 3 words to the whole song. I spin a lot of clubs and there's songs I just can't play because I can't even understand the lyrics and don't like it. I'm glad there's some artists that are keeping that boombap alive and pushing it forward with modern elements. Coming from the "90's" era I lived through a really good time for Hiphop. Where do you wanna see Hip Hop 10 years from now ? Pushing forward with a bit more quality and skills. What gets you in the mood to make a track ? A nice PHAT blunt of some OG Kush. Right now we're working on the new La Coka Nostra album.Then I have solo projects I'm working on and DJ'ing party's all over the world.Ĩ. Are you working on any up and coming projects ? Always working on Music. DJ Muggs and Dj Premier a long with Pete Rock and Diamond D. He used to let me play with his Linn Drum Lm-2 in elementary school. Who inspired you to become a producer ? First off my Dad. We kinda blew up on the west coast at first doing very small club dates and house party's off haight street. Our homies started playing it in our local clubs and the crowds would go nuts. We knew from the first second we heard it, that it was a banger. Then we started hanging out and everlast reconnected with Danny boy.Īfter a while everlast hooked up with Muggs and we started going to his crib and the first beat he played us was Jump Around. We came back home and things slowed down. After a small run with Everlast, djing for him on a Rhyme Syndicate in Europe with Ice-t and company.(I was 17) had to have my parents sign a permission slip to go. What was that feeling like when House Of Pain Dropped " Jump Around " and it exploded ? It was just amazing. My first couple beats went on the first house of pain album.ĥ. Although the first beats I ever made were on a Roland W30. Where I would go every summer and bang away on drums there at The academy of music on Younge St.Ĥ.Whats your favorite Drum Machine / Sampler ? I'll say the sp-1200. My uncle owns a music school in Toronto Canada. But for me I would have to say drums because my dad was so dope at guitar I knew I could never try to fill those shoes. Whats your favorite instrument ? My dad played guitar. This picture is from around 7th or 8th grade in my bedroom setup.ģ.

Then roll to my buddy SER (WCA) crew, he was the only one that had a full system at his house. After school we would go racking and tagging. But I didn't have turntables at the time. I used to live by a park called "Plummer park" where I met DJ ROB ONE from cbs crew (RIP) you couldn't walk through his apt because he had record crates as carpet.

At Bancroft jr High school I met a bunch of heads and we were all into graffiti and breaking. How old were you when you started Deejaying ? I would have to say around 7th grade. I had them signed to epic/immortal recordsĢ. We came back together again in the early 90's where they (evidence and Rakka) were going by the name of fatliners. I went to elementary school with Rakka who is in dilated peoples.

I really was into kraftwerk before I heard Hiphop. Funny story. But my pops always had mad records and my bedroom was his studio. I can remember the song they were jamming to but I was hooked. It was there in around 2nd grade I was playing snare drum in a talent show at school and that's the first time I saw Pop locking and breakdancing. At some point we moved from Manhattan to jersey city then to linden NJ. My pops was a guitar player and played in clubs a most of his career. What was the first Hip Hop song you heard ? That's a hard one to answer but when my family escaped from Latvia back when it was the USSR we went to Italy then off to New York in 1978 ish. We sat down with the man himself, and let him put the needle on the record.ġ.
