Recently our home girl Whitney caught up with ABX from The Hood Internet to chat about sneakers, bangers and cat videos

So how did it all begin?
It all started when Al Gore invented the internet. After that, a bunch of inconsequential stuff happened. Steve (DJ STV SLV) and I (ABX) were playing in a band together and decided to start throwing up some mashups were making on a website so our friends could check them out. Pretty soon a bunch of people who were not our friends were downloading them and we’ve just been building from there.

Where did the name come from?
The Hood Internet is a term used in the Cam’ron movie “Killa Season” to describe a minor character. (ed. note: I’ve actually never seen Killa Season by Cam’ron, but please believe I will be checking Netflix when I get home for it)

What gave you that initial push?
A love of messing around with beat making programs. Having MP3 blogs and other total internet strangers spreading our stuff gave us the push to keep making more mixes.

Who’s throwing the best parties at the moment?
At this moment it is 3:30 in the afternoon and I am stuck in an airport. There are no parties being thrown here, but there is a woman kind of getting into what ever she is listening to on her iPod. So at this moment, she would be throwing the best party.

What’s the best event you’ve played at/put on?
We’ve done a lot of different festivals in Chicago, and that’s always a great crowd and a fun a time. But I would have to say playing Lollapalooza a few years back is definitely a highlight.

Out of all the tunes you have, which one ‘never fails?’
We have a track mixing R. Kelly’s “Ignition (Remix)” with Major Lazer’s “Keep It Goin’ Louder” that is usually a crowd pleaser. People love singing along to part where Kels explains what happens after the show, after the party, and the hotel lobby. Though people tend to not know the third line to it. The sing along line is “clear the lobby,” in case you are at a Hood show and need to sing it.

When all the partying is over how do you like to chill out?
Watching cat videos on YouTube.

What advice would you give to up and coming DJs/Promoters?
If you’re going to refer to a song as a banger, try not to overdo it. The same goes to making requests to a DJ. Don’t request that we play should play some bangers right now, that’s kind of in the eye of the beholder. I guess this is advice for everyone, not just DJs.

If you could stage a rave anywhere, where would you choose?
The Moon!

What’s you favorite tune of all time?
It changes for me, but Queen and David Bowie “Under Pressure” is always in my top 5.

What are your favorite pair of sneakers?
Back in the early 90s I had a pair of the Nike Air Force 180 David Robinsons shoes which were the ones that had the pump on the side. Those will always be my favorite pair of sneakers.

How long have you been doing the mashup thing?
Have always created mashups for my own personal use but as DOSVEC since 2009.

What gear are you using now and how have your processes changed, if any, from when you first started and were first learning how to create mashups.
I am loyal to Acid as the sequencer & Sound Forge to edit & master the tunes – over a decade with the same always just upgrade.

Whats your favorite non-mashup style music right now and do you incorporate that style into your music?
I really enjoy some silky smooth jazz with a red wine glass filled with SCOTCH.

What can I expect at a Dosvec/DJ Whatt show? Do you play all mashups when you DJ? And if you are they all your own mashups?
A DOSVEC show consists of all DOSVEC Mashups but the great thing is since i have the mastered files i create live mashups that will only be heard that night

How long have you been working on your latest full length release, Glimpses?
Glimpses took me 5months to create & the story behind it is a true on.

Favorite pair of sneakers?
Currently Adidas Marathon 10 – Ze Germans make some dope ISH

1. What was the first piece of gear you guys used to make a beat? Don’t front. The very first, no matter how cheesy or corny it sounded. Mine was a Casio Rapman!
OUR FIRST PIECE OF GEAR WAS A DR 202 DRUM MACHINE.

How do you describe what you do when people ask? I’m sure people ask all the time what it is exactly you do.
I always have a tough time giving good answers to that question, mostly because I can’t just summarize what in one or two buzzwords. DJing and music production is part of what I do, just like directing, and editing video is.

It seems you have grown into a sort of new media creative renaissance man. Where do you find your roots. Music/Djing? or Film/Video-editing?
I always thought of music in a visual way, and vice versa. I guess you can say my roots are a hybrid of both, I just excelled at DJing first.

What sort of a balance do you have in your work routine between video and audio? Or has the line between audio and video pretty much blurred for you since you finished Spectacle?
The line’s been completely blurred, especially since my work includes my live show, commercials, and YouTube channel. They’re all related to each other in one way or another, so it keeps my mind focused.

I have never been to one of your live shows. I’ve seen a few quick clips on youtube. What exactly should I expect seeing you live for the first time?
My live show is very different from what you see on YouTube. I’ve seen a lot of those clips and most of them really don’t capture what’s going on as a whole. It’s like that with any live show, seeing a recording of it just isn’t the same. Plus, my shows are a great place to meet people. I’ve met quite a few happy couples who told me they met each other at one of my shows. I met one awesome couple who’s actually getting married. I
think they had fun at my show.

Where did the suit come from?
H&M

On average what kind of hours do you put into one of your videos, for instance the Iron Man trailer?
It’s tough to tell, I just kept working on it until I finished.

Speaking of the Iron Man trailer how did the official project come about? What kind of gap was there between you finishing the original trailer and the studio contacting you about creating the official version?
I had uploaded the original to YouTube on a Tuesday, Jon Favreau hit me up that Friday. Things moved quickly with Paramount/Marvel since the film was going to be released within weeks. It was awesome collaborating with them.

Not sure I have seen a photo of your feet yet. I’m sure you probably have a few pairs of sneakers lying around. What is your favorite pair? Or better yet, what pair are you looking for?
I’m all about red sneakers. I keep it simple with some red suede Pumas or Nike Air Force One lows.

Check out these tracks from The Pitch.

How long have you been doing what you’re doing now? Making these mixed up party tracks.

Prior to the Girl Talk project, when I was like 15 or 16 I was making some experimental music in a band with lots of experimental chopping of tracks on a 4-track recorder. Skipping CDs that sort of stuff. I got my first laptop at 18.

Do you still do the biomedical engineering work? How long were you Girl Talk before you spilled the beans to your co-workers?

I worked there for 3 years out of college. I always played with bands so it was kind of different; it was hard to explain to them what I was doing. The project started on a very small scale, playing at people’s parties and stuff. It picked up last year, I never told them, but they caught on. My old bosses niece and son have been to some of my shows.

How many cease and desist threats would you say have you received?

Zero. I believe in the fair use doctrine in united states copyright law. I can definitely say I have never received a threat.

How would you describe your experience with the Feed the Animals distribution model? Do you plan on doing it the same way next time?

It was cool. It was like Christmas morning, we woke up and boom it was on the internet immediately. I make more off doing shows and really I don’t look at this as my career anyway. The idea was to see how quickly and efficiently we could reach all the people. As far as doing it again its really up in the air. Depends on what the future brings.

Is that your house on the cover? and is the yard really on fire?

The house is actually the parents house of the guy who did the artwork. We wanted to actually light it on fire, but it didn’t really work out.

As an artist how would you describe the way you feel about music blogs in general?

It’s a very exciting time period right now. Its frustrating once you get to that level, everybody has an opinion, but its how it should be. The divide between corporate music and underground is really shrinking. There would have not been able to be a Girl Talk 15 years ago, maybe just on college radio back then. There is a lot of help with the blogs and peer to peer networks.
What software do you use to make your tracks? Or is that a trade secret?

Audio Mulch to perform and Adobe Audition to make the tracks. I’m always working on new stuff, I’m really into improvising on stage. Everything is isolated, the kicks the snares, each melody. I try to keep my tracks together for the most part. The fans like to hear the songs they know.

Where do you cut most of your samples from? CD, digital, Vinyl? Do you have stacks of vinyl sitting around at home?

CD mostly. I have always had a lot of CDs. I do buy some downloads and Vinyl but generally most of the samples I use comes from CDs.

What kind of music do you listen to in a casual environment?

A lot of Hip Hop, mainstream Hip Hop. I’m constantly partying so sometimes I like to listen to something different. The oldies station in Pittsburgh is crazy, they even play 80’s. I listen to soft rock chilled out stuff too so I can get away from the party stuff all the time.

Best way for the fans to get the album if they don’t? How far away do you think we are from the next Girl Talk project?

A year or two.

OK I wasn’t sure if you were a sneaker head but I see you have some Jordan’s on so I have to ask, what is your favorite all time sneaker.

Yea I’m not really a fiend, but I would say the 7’s that were black, purple and pink with the little triangles on them. I had them when I was younger and just bought the remakes yesterday. I haven’t found a pair of originals yet but would love to.

The experience was definitely killer. I hope he comes back again next year. I wish I had a dope new unheard girl talk track to share with you, but I don’t. If you are unfamiliar with him, which I highly doubt you are if you are at my website, well check out this jam to get your teeth wet.

Hands In The Air – Girl Talk download

You really should go ahead and support the Girl Talk project and get the whole album which can be purchased for whatever you want.

So where are you guys at right now?
We’re up in the upstairs bedroom finishing up mastering our album right now. Its due to the label by 6.

Repping Miami pretty hard in your track, I’m sure you have now been there more than a few times…..I saw on your myspace you are from Hollywood, so what is the biggest difference between Miami and Hollywood?

The generic difference is like Miami, now we’re talking about South Beach. You’re going there and its still the tourism. You got all the fine ass women and party, college kids, but its tourism. Even back in the day though the rappers were all on that uptempo shit, straight up party music. Partying by the beach man, thats really where Vegas got that from, its all the Miami feel. And down in Miami its always hot, the weather isn’t the same, its even hot when it rains in Miami, real tropical. Hollywood I would say is more progressive in the style though. We walk around and its more normal there than it is in Miami.

What track, you guys didn’t do, gets you crunk in the club right now.
DJ Chucky T, let the bass kick. We actually have a remix/mashup out there with that joint, thats actually how we found out about it. But you know Riverside is hot right now. Really theres this whole new movement, bubblin’ I think is what its called. We just got back from Holland they have been on it for like 5 years now, they are tired of it. But like that Pitbull jam you know you want me it has that bubblin feel with the drums. Anything really with the claps (clap clap clap).

Oh like the clap on the bass drum?
Yea the claps on the bass drum. Also that jerkin, kinda hyphy beats. I really don’t know how to jerk, I mean I have like one move down but I really don’t have the whole thing down.

Come on Foo you know you can jerk.

I also am starting to get into the dubstep movement. Its dope sounds dope but its kinda like most the dubstep records I’ve heard are kind of missing something. I need to really dig into it more though. We haven’t really been djing because we have all the artist shows right now, but after the album we will be doing more djing so I will need to dig into the dubstep before that.

Do you guys work on your own beats? What Kind of gear do you use?
Yea, Abelton. Like strictly abelton, everything, vocals, mastered, mixing we do it all in there. We do it all right here in this same room. We have been running around doing vocals elsewhere lately, like we will vibe with Lil Jon on a track so we go get in the big studio with him, but for the most part we do it all right here.

You guys have a super crazy dope style you have come up with, much respect to doing your own thing. I love wearing the loud colors myself. Where did the glasses without the lenses come from?
We kinda invented that down in miami, wearing shades in the club. Its cool you know the drug dealers are doing it so we were on that cool shit. I thought I was with the right people, dancing on the floor with a bunch of people. Somebody grabbed me like, yo why you dancing with those fat dudes? Doodey, doodey doodey booty. I mean I was drunk too. But then I popped out the lenses and they were the white frame ones. The girls started to come up after that like ‘yo those are dope’ and wanting to rock em in pictures so I knew we were onto something. When the chicks love it you are really onto something there.

OK one last question on the fashion tip, 9 times out of 10 what kind of sneaker will you rock?
Yea, this Red Foo, I only wear Vans, I rocked some K Swiss to play ball in the other day, but really they were even lowtops. We grew up in LA around, close to where the Z Boys movie took place. I been rocking vans ever sense.

I been rocking chucks since I was 5 but really rock the vans all the time now too. We also got the Party Rock shoes coming up, so it’ll be all Vans and Party Rock. But you know how it is eventually you will just rock everything you make yourself.

I know the album is dropping real soon, run down the details on that for us.
I just want to say that the Party Rock album is going to change the world. We are listening to it right now back to front mastering it and I’m real excited. More excited than I have ever been. The way we put it together is like the show. Kinda like how a stand up comic is going to go through his routine in a night. People really aren’t working on albums anymore, and the industry doesn’t even think they matter. They really were telling us not to worry about doing an album, but we had to. Especially out the gate like this we needed one for the history books. People are going to be like ‘yea we need this whole album’, you’re going to want to roll around to it, everything.

I really had a blast talking to these cats and can’t wait to catch a show one of these days. They even wanted to talk to me about White Folks Get Crunk after my interview of them which, of course, was totally cool. How about some LMFAO jams?

Rather Not a Whore (DjMkWst) DIRTY – LMFAO x 3-6 Mafia download shout out to DJ McFly for the hook up on this jam!

Boom Boom Pow (Risk One PartyRock ReFix) – Black Eyed Peas x LMFAO download of course the big homey Risk One hooked this jam up

Anyway back on track….
These dudes have been making some big noise, especially in some nontraditional ways. Such as doing a recent mixtape with the one and only Diplo. The homey Noetik got a chance to holler at them and here is what they had to say!

1. How in the hell did you guys hook up with Diplo?

Our manager initially hooked it up, let Diplo hear our stuff and it just took off. We officially meet at last years SXSW.

Me and Mali Boi was at AppleBees one day and it just came to me. He was like “hell yea, i got an idea for the logo”…went home and he came up with the logo. And as far as the “gangstaz” part, we Gz…PRGz.

Slow Motion is where everything orginated from. Its where we learned to make this music and produce this sound. After some differences, some artist joined me to help create Paper Route Recordz. Block Beataz is the main production for both companies. And for the record Slo Mo still fam.

Mali Boi is the primary producer. The sound just comes from our environment. We live in Huntsville, AL so its a tad bit different from a bigger, faster, more diverse city…but, the same shit goes on. We talk about our lives. We dont make music for any certain genre or crowd, we do music for our city. We tell our story.

idk…20…30…

Its HuntsVegas baby…jackpot city. Everything moving, everything all ball. You got a small city full of big dreams, talent and hustlas.

Several shows…My main thing is shows outside of Bama now though. I think after 8yrs its time to try and snatch the rest of the country.

According to our Internet Director that’ll be a part of the new PaperRouteRecordz.com as of now join us on myspace @ http://www.myspace.com/paperrouteenterprise

Be sure to check these boys out! And now the goods….

We were finally able to grab a little of Risk One’s time to get him to answer a couple of our questions. Can’t blame the guy between rocking the dopest clubs in Seattle and Las Vegas and making some of the illest

mash’s for your top 40 pleasure, I bet the guy is awfully busy. We love the way you do what you do!

1. How long have you been spinning?
About 8 1/2 years now.

2. You Serato all the time now?
Yessirr! I’m a tech geek so I was actually on Stanton Final Scratch 1.0 when it first came out (years before Serato) It was crap, but back then it was better than spending hundreds a month on mainstream club vinyl. I was already up on Rane equipment, so when Serato came out I bought it same day.

Whatcha Gonna Do (Real Juicy Mix) – Kasper from the K x Sneaky Sound System x Gloves zippy | mp3

How long have you been spitting for? I’ve been doin this for about 12 13 years. The past 3 years I’ve been doing it more on the professional side of things…meaning in the studio around professional people, graduated out the closet into a real booth.

What is the local scene like in Henderson? Do you work with a lot of other artists and perform in your area? The local scene is pretty much like any other city big or small, everyone is trying to do there music thing. Yes i do work with other artists in the area as much as possible. I try not to fool with to many tho, I’ll take a listen or check and see what they want out of music and decide whether or not to do a track. I don’t like wasting time or jumpin on a track that i feel isn’t moving me forward in ways. I’ve pretty much performed it up every where in my home town as well as Evansville Indiana. I at least try and make appearances etc. I’ve done numerous bday parties, things like that as well. Its all about the kids to me. They are the future and the buyers.

Who makes your beats? Who did Whatcha Gonna Do? Joel Hopper (HOP) made the beat to watchagondo as well as 99 percent of my other beats. He is my DR DRE and I’m like his EM. When we get together and bang out a track its like magic. Ken Lewis threw the final mix on it. He has done numerous things for platinum artists such as KANYE WEST Fall out boy, and also somethings with the PUSSYCAT DOLLS etc.

How did you connect with EO Music in Cincinnati? As my buzz grew around my home town, it soon reached the ears of professionals who liked what they heard and decided to check in to me even further.

How did your relationship with Peoria Radio come about? It’s a long way from Kentucky. Peoria Radio was one of the firsts to pick up on whatchagondo as it was released nationwide. I owe it to BIG D and the rest of his crew in Peoria for believing in the song and adding it into regular rotation.

How many times have you been to Peoria so far? I’ve been into Peoria 3 times so far and every time the hospitality has been great. I definitely would say to other artists theres a great club atmosphere in P town and to see bout getting there asap. I vouch for Peoria.

7. I know you just dropped an EP on iTunes that everybody needs to pick up, anytime soon to hear an album from you? Definitely gonna hear a full album soon. I’m sitten on several songs and also working on a few other projects as we speak. Just adding a little polish to somethings to get ready for 09. You mentioned iTunes also just got ringtones up for Whatchagondo TEXT KASPER1 to 71777 for Shake It Down TEXT KASPER2 to 71777.
What is your favorite pair of sneakers right now? My favorite pair of kicks right now would have to be these new BLACK n WHITE JORDANs i just swooped up a few days ago. I’ve started to get my shoe game up a lil bit. I’ve had these Havanah Joes i got in Cinci for about a year and still lookin for that outfit that will set em off in this M*%^$#*&^%$R haaaaahaaaa WHITE FOLKS GET CRUNK! The Js are my new favorite tho.

The track is bananas. I love the use of the 80′s track, I mean who doesn’t dig the 80′s? Check it out and be sure to cop it on iTunes.

Us – You work with many different artists on the album 12 Steps. Any one artist you were surprised by, one artist who really brought something to the album that you weren’t really expecting? A different tone or flow that might have changed the feel of the song?

Tittsworth – I felt kid sister brought it harder than i ever imagined. always knew her to be good, but what she recorded for “WTF” really put her in another category of MC in my eyes.

I’ve seen you on the mtv interview rocking a boss sampler. What kind of gear did you use for the tracks on 12 Steps?
I used a computer almost strictly… reason 3.5 and nuendo. Because I was on the road so much, we got somebody to do all of the mixing and mastering (which included some hardware). Sometimes I use a midi controller to drum in a pattern or notes, sometimes i’m on the plane and I just beat the rhythm right into the laptop by banging on the mouse (that’s probably why my mouse doesn’t work so well and i’m missing a control key).

Explain the difference in your approach as the producer of an album, compared to your individual projects.

This is the first time (in a long long long time) where I could write and not have to think about a dance floor STRICTLY. I would have to consider the ipod audience and those who were not DJ’s. I always have them in the back of my mind, it’s second nature, but this was definitely a unique challenge in that regard. Also with an album, I couldn’t rely on samples or gimmicks.

What was your favorite city to visit while on tour? What was your favorite venue you played while on tour?
I have a lot of the same favorites that you probably hear most dj’s say… I really dig Sydney, Brazil is a blast, Toronto is a home away from home. I really enjoy those little sleeper cities like Malmo, Sweden where I get requests for Miss Tony tracks and 300 kids will sing along with songs you don’t expect to leave Baltimore.

What is your favorite venue in Chicago?
So far, Smartbar. every time I play there I can play HARD, I don’t have to hold back and I can incorporate house music (a guilty pleasure of mine.. not so guilty in the Chi).

Who have you had the wildest set djing with in the past year?
Dave Nada. In Winnipeg I remember wondering where he was, only to find him hanging from the ceiling rafters, pouring drinks into the mouths of people a story below him.

What is your favorite place to shop for records in the whole world?
I don’t really shop for records anymore, sadly. The good news is when I buy something now, it’s something I really really want (instead of something I might need for a specific dance floor or crowd). Generally that’s the occasional ebay purchase, often an old rave record or a classic jazz album.

If you didn’t know, Tittsworth new album, ’12 Steps’, is due out August 12th. Check out the album sampler here with a few cuts on it featuing; Kid Sis, Pase Rock, The Federation, Nina Sky & Pitbull. Of course you also know we’re going to throw a classic at you!

Caked Out The Heir Tee, T-shirts for Men

RJ: What’s up man? How you living?!

Cisco: I’m just getting crunk over here.

RJ: Beautiful, you just took away one of our questions actually.

Pete: I love it! So you guys are on the East Coast right now? Where you at?

Shwayze: Yea, we’re in Florida. We’re in St. Petersburg.

Cisco: Yea, we’re gonna see the Kremlin today.

Pete: So Cisco, we were wondering if this was the first hip-hop project you’ve worked on.

Cisco: No No No. You know what, I’m a hip-hop head first actually.

RJ: O really?

Cisco: Yea, I’ve been makin beats since I was about 14. I did Mickey Avalon’s record, I did Dirt Nasty’s record, I’ve worked with Lil Jon, I worked with a whole bunch of people.

RJ: Wow, so how come you joined the band then?

Cisco: You mean Whitestarr? You know when I was 14, hip hop was my music, and then it sort of let me down as it grew and I kind of got into rock and then started working with all these different artists and got to do both you know what I mean? So now I just get to do everything.

RJ: I gotcha, I can dig that.

Shwayze: Yea. When I met this dude I didn’t know he did hip hop, he surprised me really.

Cisco: I make the sickest beats on Earth, bro!

Shwayze: Yeah, Yea. Hear em out on the new Shwayze record, August 18th.

Pete: So you got a song on the album that isn’t one of the videos we should be looking out for?

Cisco: Yea. Every one.

RJ: Ha. OK, what’s your favorite?

Cisco: You know, we got a song called “James Brown is Dead.” That’s about the music industry and its state of affairs. We got “Corona and Lime,” which is our next single. We just shot the video for that. So that one’s coming next.

Shwayze: He obviously was asking about not videos.

Cisco: You know what, the record is deep. “Buzzin” is only the tip of the iceberg.

RJ: So whats the video like for “Corona and Lime?” We haven’t got a chance to see it yet.

Cisco: You know what, it premiers on Friday night on MTV on the 18th.

Shwayze: Yeah, we’re flying back to do it and they’re gonna interview us or whatever too.

Pete: So you got a story behind the track?

Cisco: You mean behind “Corona and Lime?” I mean there is a funny story, cuz we were actually pretty much done with the record and Will I Am was looking for tracks. He heard “Buzzin,” and he was like ‘Dude I made 65 songs and I don’t have one like “Buzzin!” So gimme one.’ So I made “Corona & Lime” and just did the beat and the hook and sent it over to him, but his record was already done when I got it to him and Shwayze was hella bummed I was even sending it to him.

Shwayze: And not because it was him, just because it wasn’t finished and I was like ‘damn I wanna rock that!’ So we got it after all and it worked out.

RJ: So what’s the video like? Is it kinda the same feel as ‘Buzzin?’

Shwayze: No it’s totally different, you know. It’s cool, you know we had this black and white scenario with the fish eye; a total hip hop vibe, it’s very cool.

Cisco: Yea, and Shwayze drops in on the different cities. The song is about chicks from different cities.

RJ: So what are the chicks like down in Florida?

Shwayze/Cisco: We don’t know. We haven’t gotten outside yet.

Cisco: Nah, but last night we went out and partied and you know the chicks are beautiful everywhere….you just have to sniff ‘em out.

Pete: So Cisco, were you the only producer on the album, did anybody else collaborate on the project?

Shwayze: Nah. He did the whole thing.

RJ: So what kinda gear you use Cisco?

Cisco: Well, I have a full studio. Pro Tools HD, a bunch of wild toys, guitars, basses, keyboards. I’m always collecting gear. But pro tools, I make all my beats in Pro Tools.

Pete: So WFGC is actually based out of the midwest, when are you stopping by Chicago?

Shwayze: Dude, I love Chi-town.

Cisco: Yea, Warped is coming there in like 2 or 3 weeks.

Pete: Right the Warped Tour. How you liking that?

Shwayze: The tour is amazing. It’s my first tour, and Cisco’s first Warped Tour. It’s crazy, so many types of bands come out. But it’s dope, it’s really diverse, we have a lot of fans coming out. We’ll go after a band like The Day to Remembers which is real heavy, then we’ll come on, then another hard band like The 303. It’s dope, real diverse.

Cisco: I think a bill like that is a better bill than if 80 bands all sound the same. Yea, you’ll have to come out to that one, we’ll hang.

RJ: So speaking of “Buzzin,” you heard all the remixes of that yet?

Cisco: Hell yeah, we searched out the dopest dudes to make ‘em.

RJ: Ok then, which one is your favorite then?

Cisco: My favorite is The Villains remix.

RJ: Ha. Yeah, I think that is how your guys found me, because that’s the one I posted.

Cisco: There you go, there you go. That one’s the sickest one. The Knocks did a really dope one.

Shwayze: I was gonna say, yeah, The Knocks did a really dope one as well. I mean, all of ‘em are good.

Cisco: And Skeet Skeet did his own one with Wale on it. That’s pretty sick too.
