1.) What age did you start pursuing rap? why rap? why not basketball or a doctor?
I started rapping at the age of 16 but did not start pursuing it or taking it serious until the age of 19. My handles are not worth a damn but I have a J.... I'll leave the doctor biz to Dre...
2.) You are well known in this city and others, yet I still here that your a humble down to earth cat. How do you do it?
I'm humbled everyday. Truly grateful that I am known for my work and people take it in as good music. I was also raised by some down to earth parents that taught me well.

3.) A little birdie told me that you were a sneaker head, I told that little birdie "yea dude does have a sneaker shaped head" whats your most valued kick?
SMH. Kilt me.... Man, I used to have mad kicks. None of them were outstanding prices tho. Just had a lot. I gave all that up. As long as I have a good comfortable pair on i'm cool.
4.) What was the concept behind "All Jokes Aside"?
We played off of our characters as being jokesters/clowns but at the same time serious about our craft. We thought it would be dope to paint our faces. From front to back it's comedy.
5.) What was the studio sessions with Dylan like?
That cat???! One of the funniest cat's I know. When I heard him write, "On a date watching Iron Man 8/ Robert Downey Jr. jr. was straight/ but his gold teeth look fake" had me CRYING! Nothing serious would come out of the session except for Dylan's uni-brow.... That thing is 1 hair away from being a Summerfest riot.
6.) Was the creativity flowing threw the room each sess? was there any moments you guys got stuck and needed to be inspired by something new? (what did the job)
Dylan always get's stuck... I'd be on the next verse and he's still on, "On a date watching Iron Man 8..." lol

7.) Why did you call whaz for the graphic designs? you do know I do all of his work right?
Middle man Whaz... smh lmao Whaz has been there for us for a minute. Real humble cat as well. We knew that he understood where we were going so it wasn't a question. Dude is dope. http://www.flickr.com/photos/wh4z/
8.) There's so many different labels we give rappers these day's, like for example the term backpack rappers or conscious rappers etc. Did Milwaukee give you a label? if not do you give yourself a label?
Yeah, Milwaukee gave me the "east-side/back packer/Lupe Fiasco/Mf Doom" category... oh well. I do EVERYTHING
9.) If you could sit down with your favorite most influential rapper and ask them any question, who would it be and what would the question be? (explain why)
I would ask Madlib to teach me everything he knows... does that count?
10.) You hop on the "notorious" web and you read; "haz is wack, maaan dude neva has punchlines. I would never buy his shit, plus his breath stank" Whats going on threw your head when you read that type of shit? would you ever respond to hate mail on the web?
I haven't been Internet attacked yet but if it ever happened I would not respond. It's not worth it because I KNOW IT'S NOT TRUE.... POW!
