BZ Interview with 'The Raw Community'..pt1

[Tha Bandit]

Straight from the new Raw Community website

RC: So what's new with you this time around?

BZ: I'm working with a lot more people. Taking a lot more advice. It's great to step outside the box.

RC: Are you recording right now?

BZ: I'm always recording. Even when I say Im not. Im recording! (laughs)

RC: What are you working on now?

BZ: Well, I stopped working on this mixtape with Real-8. So then I replaced that with the next MPG. Part 6 with me and C-Ray. Im hosting, and so is DJ Profit. And Im working on a little something else.

RC: Is that 'little something else Black Tuesday?

BZ:Yea it is. I just haven't wanted to say anything about it, cause so much could change from now up until when it comes out.

RC: That would be smart. What's this I hear about you and C-Ray? You didn't get paid for 'Call The Shots'?

BZ: Ok look. I was at the video shoot. It was a great video. My problem, no beef involved, is with the fuckin' director. He took great shots, but I didn't get paid for it. Word is to me, that C-Ray did. I haven't been able to contact him because of his business trip down to FLA. But all Im saying is. If he get paid, why didn't I? Why didn't everybody else?

RC: So you were told that C-Ray was paid, from who though?

BZ: I got my sources. They are correct to. I know they are because they were the ones that told me MarZ was about to be on the move when I was doing this track for her while back.

RC: We'll have to get up with C-Ray. So I've heard you're back into producing as well?

BZ: Yea. My flow right now is totally crashing on the level of DJ'n more and producing more. I just love to be working on those beats. Sitting next to two huge ass speakers and coming up with crack. And I find it interesting to get up with some of these upcoming artists doing the same shit Im doing. Just doing it with me.

RC: When are we going to see some artists come out of Grimey?

BZ: I got one actually. I'm just not ready to reveal him yet because he's not ready. I gotta give him the stamp before he comes out. Right now he's working on his whole takeover, we are planning it to be larger than anything we've put out on Grimey.

RC: Sounds good. So what's with this Raw Magazine? Is that really you ahead of all this?

BZ: Yes it is. I got a lot of aliases. People know me for that. And, to just come out with a magazine RIGHT NOW I see it as being the perfect marketing tool for our company, YB. YB Magazine aka Raw Magazine. We dont want to say YB because its not ALL about us. Its for the people that fucks with us, no homo. The people that been showing us gratitude, people we know. Its better to do it that way to make it seem like we are not riding ourselves so to speak.

RC: You are the editor, and you come up with the columns right?

BZ: I have a team of operatives via online, that I can contact. And they will give me information, news, music that's hot right now on the underground tip. We promote everybody, not just ourselves. Plus everyone around me wants to read this shit, why not do it. Someone walks up to you with a magazine you've never read or heard of. Who's not gonna read it? It's genius.

(part II coming soon)
