REVIEW: Dewey Decibel

.:ALBUM REVIEW: Dewey Decibel -- #BOOMBOXBOOKWORM

After I discovered Dewey Decibel with the tracks Met Her in L.A. and Hello Hello, I have to admit I was quite curious about this mixtape but didn't really know what to expect, apart from a constantly crazy flow and witty wordplay, which seem to be some of the MC's trademarks.

It turns out I was not disappointed as #BOOMBOXBOOKWORM is a way for him to showcase his lyrical and technical skills. Nevertheless, despite this curiosity and interest in Dewey Decibel's talent, I was slightly taken aback after the first listen and didn't really know what to make of the project. I persevered though and listened to it again, and again, and again.

INTERVIEW: Eric Lau Exclusive

.:INTERVIEW: Eric Lau -- Word Is Bond Exclusive Interview

After Moka Only and Chief last week, it is now time for London producer Eric Lau to be featured here with a very interesting video interview we recorded at the end of 2011.

First of all, we would like to thank the owner of Guanabana, a wonderful restaurant in Camden, London, for lending his space for the time of the interview and providing such a lovely setting. Not to mention, the food is delicious there! It was also a great pleasure to catch up with Eric and get to meet Simon from Kilawatt, and we are very grateful to both of them for taking some time to chill with us and answer our questions....

INTERVIEW: Video Interview with Illa J

WIB Interview1 INTERVIEW: Video Interview with Illa JIlla%20J%20Interview%20With%20TheWordIsBond.com INTERVIEW: Video Interview with Illa JCLICK IMAGE TO VIEW VIDEO

Brother of one of the all time greats (J Dilla).  John Regal aka Illa J is carrying on that legacy with Slum Village and as a solo artist in his own rite. He can sing, produce and rap all at the same time, a quick listen to his debut album "Yancey Boys" tells you all you need to know about how talented he is. In this interview we try and get him to tell us about the future for Illa J whilst relaying some old stories about his brother. For the budding artists out there he even gives advice on breaking into the industry. As he is one of my favourite artists period, it was an honour to have him on board for Word Is Bond, all for the love of his fans!

Part one of an interview that spoken word artist (and friend of the blog) Joe Smokes Wisdom gave to UNITV. I feel the interviewer does a great job in creating some interesting dialogue. Learn where Joe's name originated from and why he might not be staying in America for much longer.

Very Insightful interview by GlitterFab

L*Boogie: An Interview With Prince Paul- mastermind behind Stetsasonic, De La Soul, and much more. This interview was almost 8 months in making! Between delays, cancellations, rescheduling, work, weekends, and so forth- this interview finally took place on a hot day in June in Bryant Park- and of course on the worst day of allergies kicking my ass! Next to a huge lawn-full of people practicing group yoga, Prince Paul and I got to chat about a few things, including Hip Hop, De La Soul and the music industry. I can confidently say that Prince Paul is one of the most humble, chill and down to earth cats I have had the pleasure of interviewing in this Hip Hop culture/industry. Unfortunately, the camera was out of focus for a portion of the filming (don't worry EXILE, it's not you faullt!) But we had a good time and I'm so happy I finally go to interview THE Prince Paul! Enjoy!
