Love and Hate: Boldy James
Posted on August 16, 2025 Leave a Comment
I sat down with the immensely talented, unsurprisingly hilarious, and arguably hardest working man in hip hop, King of the Oven Mitt (know he runs this bitch), none other than Boldy James. We chatted briefly after his sold out show in San Francisco about what he loves and hates about rap, obviously. Enjoy!
Love and Hate: Killah Priest

I recently ran into hip hop contributor and Wu-Tang affiliate Killah Priest at a performance in Oakland, at the Blunt Club. I was lucky enough to find out what it is he does and doesn’t love about hip hop. …and, if you listen very carefully to what he doesn’t love about it, you may learn something. […]
Agallah The Don
Posted on May 3, 2014 Leave a Comment
The eccentricities that make musicians loveable or unfuckwithable are often times glaring. Agallah the Don is an artist whose persona is one that lends to inspiration, excitement, and a genuine love of hip hop. It was my pleasure to interview him and to discuss topics such as his recent project with producer Alchemist, what he […]
Re Up: House Shoes

If you know anything about anything, you fucking know House Shoes. …and if you know music, then you definitely know Shoes, as he is at the epicenter of so much of what is good and pure in music. There are few people that are involved in this music shit whose opinion I trust more, whose […]

There are individuals in the culture of hip hop that have truly helped create what we have all come to know and love. Ras Kass is one of those individuals. I recently had the opportunity to interview him, and I have to say that, getting to talk to him about not only his own music […]

If you’re here, reading this interview, I’m going to go ahead and take a wild stab in the dark and say you have a favorite MC. Now, there might be a lot of things to contribute to this person being, in your eyes, the best – they could be a lyrical beast, consistent, have unique […]
Khrysis

I recently had the distinct pleasure of interviewing Jamla Squad member, North Carolina repper, all around dope beat maker, Khrysis. We dove into topics such as the recent tracks and projects he’s dropped with the likes of Pete Rock, Phonte, Elzhi, Talib Kweli, and many more, how he feels about the fact that pretty much […]
Love and Hate: El Da Sensei

You should know who the Artifacts are – Brick City hip hop contributors that, well, if you don’t know, you could use the internet to find out about, which, according to El Da Sensei, who I ran into at Rhyme Fest Los Angeles, is one of the things he loves most about hip hop. I’ll let […]
Love and Hate: Sadat X

Speaking of legends – I ran into Sadat X, Brand Nubian MC and all around hip hop icon, at Rhyme Fest Los Angeles. He shared with me what he loves, and more than dislikes, about hip hop. …the man makes a VERY good point. Check yourselves. Enjoy.
