01:58 Soon to be the world
02:00 Now he's got a lot of talent
02:02 When I first heard Max
02:04 I ran into him, because he had friends that I knew
02:06 They were all cool, we were all amongst friends

02:22 When he was still fucking with them
02:24 I don't really go crazy for artists

03:38 You know what I'm saying?
03:40 You know it's the first I ever come through Florida, 129
03:42 Go through Mons
03:44 The thing is that
03:46 I used to have the raw beats, you know what I'm saying?
03:48 My beats was still, you know what I'm saying?
03:50 But back then I had the buzz, everybody going on
03:52 I got beats as crazy as shit
03:54 Got to being a Wild Ones and Rough Riders
03:56 They used to come around my hood
03:58 They was like, "Yo, B, why don't you get down? What you want to do?"
04:00 I ain't getting down with nobody
04:02 I got my own shit, let you rock
04:04 We sat down, hooked it up
04:06 They told me about four artists they had
04:08 Which was the 3 Locks and DMX
04:10 They asked me, they said, "Yo, if you could come get these niggas loopy
04:12 You come get them right, we gonna be good"
04:14 I'm like, "Aight, that's not gonna be a big deal"
04:16 Yeah, as you know, it's history
04:18 The clock's on the wall
04:20 So I took my Harlem Baker Lock sound
04:22 And I went up to Yonkers
04:24 And I put it with the Locks and the Rough Riders
04:26 And the Locks got the deal with Bad Boy
04:28 DMX got on
04:30 Greaser with Monty Platt
04:32 Billion dollar checks, you know what I'm saying?
04:34 And everything, so it was cool
04:36 So I started to hook up, but the thing is
04:38 When I first started with the Locks and shit
04:40 There was more the Warlocks
04:42 A lot of people don't know there was Warlocks
04:44 Yeah, everyone from 914
04:46 Knows about the Warlocks
04:48 With Casino, also
04:50 And all that
04:52 Shout out to my nigga Casino
04:54 Congratulations, he got married, that's cool
04:56 I didn't even know about that, that's great
04:58 He also a family
05:00 We all gotta be on TV, right?
05:02 But um
05:04 For me, they told me about Boom
05:06 It was me and my boy Big Sam
05:08 With the Yonkers Studio
05:10 I remember four guys came up, they was going crazy
05:12 Like, "Yo, we from Harlem, we be acting like mad shit
05:14 Ain't nobody hot, and they from Harlem ain't hot"
05:16 But we went up there
05:18 Me and my man BS, we looked at each other like
05:20 "Oh, they got it"
05:22 And at that time it was Sheik
05:24 Kiss, Styles, and Casino
05:26 That was the core
05:28 And I was like, "Yo, we got this other dude, man, but we just can't kill him right now
05:30 We got him, but he crazy, we gotta have him
05:32 Greaser, I know when you do what you do, you get him
05:34 I know it, I said, "Find the motherfucker
05:36 Go get the motherfucker"
05:38 Boom, and we went to track him down
05:40 Track X down, brought him in the studio
05:42 He was like, "What up, what up?"
05:44 We just kicked it, boom, boom, boom
05:46 Made the music, just clicked, and there
05:48 As we made the music click
05:50 As we got to know each other
05:52 It clicked even more, because we had different
05:54 Similar stories in different places
05:56 Almost probably like two years difference
05:58 Whatever I was probably going through, Styles was probably going through the same thing
06:00 I saw in different places
06:02 It's kind of ironic, but like I said
06:04 I was just like, "Let's go with this"
06:06 Yeah, things happen for a reason
06:08 Yeah, we make that shit up
06:10 That album, that first album, it was crazy
06:12 I mean, especially out here, it was insane
06:14 I was 70% on that first album
06:16 Wow
06:18 70%, like all the new tracks, I got 13 cuts on there
06:20 At least 11 of them was original
06:22 So it's 50% that
06:24 Was there any story that you remember
06:26 That was just classic, recording that first album
06:28 Anything like a classic time that was crazy?
06:30 Um
06:32 Shit, everything
06:34 That you can let people know
06:36 I'm going to keep it 100
06:38 It's a funny shit, man
06:40 I tell about a vibe, the essence
06:42 A lot of people don't know, man
06:44 We did the bulk of "It's Dark in Hellasite"
06:46 And "Marry of the Georgians"
06:48 Really?
06:50 15, 20 minutes outside of Atlanta
06:52 This was '96, '97
06:54 This was before the whole South movement
06:56 Picked up heavy, you know, different things
06:58 What brought you guys out there?
07:00 Let him keep a peace of mind
07:02 No distractions, right?
07:04 No distractions, got the house, took all my equipment down there
07:06 We saw "Beggin'"
07:08 That album was crazy too
07:10 We came back up, fucking
07:12 Fucking everybody
07:14 Russell Simmons, Leo Cohen
07:16 My God, where the fuck was I going?
07:18 Here, take money, get on stage
07:20 And it was his father
07:22 What's your relationship with him now?
07:24 Who's that?
07:26 Ex. We good. He locked up, right?
07:28 He's good, that's a good restaurant for him
07:30 When he come, he good
07:32 Funny thing, the day before he went in
07:34 That day, we went to the Fedskins Scott Seuss house
07:36 He recorded a track that we did
07:38 Really?
07:40 That's about to be on the soundtrack
07:42 For a movie called "The Bleeding"
07:44 But the day before he did that, he got locked
07:46 He did the track, he got locked that next morning
07:48 So we bought that piece of that track
07:50 Two minutes to shoot
07:52 Then he got like two albums to start the tour
07:54 So it was real heavy
07:56 It was a lot of work
07:58 It was a lot of work
08:00 It was a lot of work
08:02 It was a lot of work
