While in NYC, we sat down with Evidence of Dilated Peoples and talked about his new album, Cats & Dogs, out now, what’s it like working with Alchemist, what he feels about albums leaking early and how Jay-Z & Kanye West were able to buck that trend, his take on the new crop of Westcoast emcees like Tyler, The Creator, Kendrick Lamar and Fashawn, who he actually thinks is the dopest of the new crop as well as his take on how the shift from gangsta rap to more down to earth rap. He then gives us an update on the next Dilated Peoples album “Directors of Photography”, what’s like being a dope emcee and producer and if the emcee in him conflicts with the producer in him. He then ends the interview by speaking on why he feels like Rhymesayers is the best indie label in Hip Hop.

- When did you fall in love with H.E.R.?

I fell in love with H.E.R at some point in the very early 90s. Hell, I probably was born in love with hip hop.

- MC/DJ/Producer/Graff Writer/Bboy ?

I am definitely an MC. Mic Controller, Master of Ceremony.

- Dayjob or no Dayjob?

To get the good music out to the people is my job, whether it’s day or night. Lol.

- 5 All time favorite records?

I’m indecisive when it comes to decisions like this, so I’ll just say these off of the top: “One More Chance remix” by Notorius B.I.G, “Call My Name” by Prince, “C.R.E.A.M” by Wu Tang Clan, “Baby Be Mine” by Michael Jackson, “No More Pain” by Tupac Shakur. I don’t necessarily have a top 5 all time, but these songs came to mine the instant you asked.
