INTERVIEW: Video Interview with Illa J
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!

VIDEO: Interview w/Joe Smokes Wisdom
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.

INTERVIEW: Prince Paul – Interview With L*Boogie
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!
