03:36 Everybody know I'm from 129, 129 Harlem

03:38 You know what I'm saying?

03:40 You know it's the first I ever come through Florida, 129

03:42 Go through Mons

03:44 The thing is that

03:46 I used to have the raw beats, you know what I'm saying?

03:48 My beats was still, you know what I'm saying?

03:50 But back then I had the buzz, everybody going on

03:52 I got beats as crazy as shit

03:54 Got to being a Wild Ones and Rough Riders

03:56 They used to come around my hood

03:58 They was like, "Yo, B, why don't you get down? What you want to do?"

04:00 I ain't getting down with nobody

04:02 I got my own shit, let you rock

04:04 We sat down, hooked it up

04:06 They told me about four artists they had

04:08 Which was the 3 Locks and DMX

04:10 They asked me, they said, "Yo, if you could come get these niggas loopy

04:12 You come get them right, we gonna be good"

04:14 I'm like, "Aight, that's not gonna be a big deal"

04:16 Yeah, as you know, it's history

04:18 The clock's on the wall

04:20 So I took my Harlem Baker Lock sound

04:22 And I went up to Yonkers

04:24 And I put it with the Locks and the Rough Riders

04:26 And the Locks got the deal with Bad Boy

04:28 DMX got on

04:30 Greaser with Monty Platt

04:32 Billion dollar checks, you know what I'm saying?

04:34 And everything, so it was cool

04:36 So I started to hook up, but the thing is

04:38 When I first started with the Locks and shit

04:40 There was more the Warlocks

04:42 A lot of people don't know there was Warlocks

04:44 Yeah, everyone from 914

04:46 Knows about the Warlocks

04:48 With Casino, also

04:50 And all that

04:52 Shout out to my nigga Casino

04:54 Congratulations, he got married, that's cool

04:56 I didn't even know about that, that's great

04:58 He also a family

05:00 We all gotta be on TV, right?

05:02 But um

05:04 For me, they told me about Boom

05:06 It was me and my boy Big Sam

05:08 With the Yonkers Studio

05:10 I remember four guys came up, they was going crazy

05:12 Like, "Yo, we from Harlem, we be acting like mad shit

05:14 Ain't nobody hot, and they from Harlem ain't hot"

05:16 But we went up there

05:18 Me and my man BS, we looked at each other like

05:20 "Oh, they got it"

05:22 And at that time it was Sheik

05:24 Kiss, Styles, and Casino

05:26 That was the core

05:28 And I was like, "Yo, we got this other dude, man, but we just can't kill him right now

05:30 We got him, but he crazy, we gotta have him

05:32 Greaser, I know when you do what you do, you get him

05:34 I know it, I said, "Find the motherfucker

05:36 Go get the motherfucker"

05:38 Boom, and we went to track him down

05:40 Track X down, brought him in the studio

05:42 He was like, "What up, what up?"

05:44 We just kicked it, boom, boom, boom

05:46 Made the music, just clicked, and there

05:48 As we made the music click

05:50 As we got to know each other

05:52 It clicked even more, because we had different

05:54 Similar stories in different places

05:56 Almost probably like two years difference

05:58 Whatever I was probably going through, Styles was probably going through the same thing

06:00 I saw in different places

06:02 It's kind of ironic, but like I said

06:04 I was just like, "Let's go with this"

06:06 Yeah, things happen for a reason

06:08 Yeah, we make that shit up

06:10 That album, that first album, it was crazy

06:12 I mean, especially out here, it was insane

06:14 I was 70% on that first album

06:16 Wow

06:18 70%, like all the new tracks, I got 13 cuts on there

06:20 At least 11 of them was original

06:22 So it's 50% that

06:24 Was there any story that you remember

06:26 That was just classic, recording that first album

06:28 Anything like a classic time that was crazy?

06:30 Um

06:32 Shit, everything

06:34 That you can let people know

06:36 I'm going to keep it 100

06:38 It's a funny shit, man

06:40 I tell about a vibe, the essence

06:42 A lot of people don't know, man

06:44 We did the bulk of "It's Dark in Hellasite"

06:46 And "Marry of the Georgians"

06:48 Really?

06:50 15, 20 minutes outside of Atlanta

06:52 This was '96, '97

06:54 This was before the whole South movement

06:56 Picked up heavy, you know, different things

06:58 What brought you guys out there?

07:00 Let him keep a peace of mind

07:02 No distractions, right?

07:04 No distractions, got the house, took all my equipment down there

07:06 We saw "Beggin'"

07:08 That album was crazy too

07:10 We came back up, fucking

07:12 Fucking everybody

07:14 Russell Simmons, Leo Cohen

07:16 My God, where the fuck was I going?

07:18 Here, take money, get on stage

07:20 And it was his father

07:22 What's your relationship with him now?

07:24 Who's that?

07:26 Ex. We good. He locked up, right?

07:28 He's good, that's a good restaurant for him

07:30 When he come, he good

07:32 Funny thing, the day before he went in

07:34 That day, we went to the Fedskins Scott Seuss house

07:36 He recorded a track that we did

07:38 Really?

07:40 That's about to be on the soundtrack

07:42 For a movie called "The Bleeding"

07:44 But the day before he did that, he got locked

07:46 He did the track, he got locked that next morning

07:48 So we bought that piece of that track

07:50 Two minutes to shoot

07:52 Then he got like two albums to start the tour

07:54 So it was real heavy

07:56 It was a lot of work

07:58 It was a lot of work

08:00 It was a lot of work

08:02 It was a lot of work
