"What's good people! Here's an interview that we did back in the day that I found last year! This interview was done 25 years ago and I had forgotten about the interviews!! We first interviewed the Cash Money Click!! This is the group from Hollis Queens that Ja Rule was in before he went solo!! Who knew what career he would have!! Before we started the interviews, you hear Riz tell me that we needed monitors in the studio where he was mixing!! He was right the sound quality in the studio was nervous!
Riz, had to leave after the interview with the CMC to do a video shoot! DJ Avee held it down for the interview with the Roots! That night Question (Questlove), Black Thought, & Beatbox Legend Rahzel were in the building!! This is before they became the host band for Jimmy Fallon!! We started off the interview w. The Roots introducing themselves!! Questlove spoke about the history of Philly Hip Hop before Schooly D and Steady B! They really put on a show with Rahzel and Tariq Freestylin!!" - WildMan Steve
