KAM INTERVIEW 2/24/09
Illuminati 2G caught up with Kam for a exclusive interview. We discuss the status of the Warzone album, his thoughts on Barack Obama, westcoast hip hop and many other social and political topics so check it out.
What have you been up to lately? I know you were on the West Fest Tour last year. How was the tour?
**. That tour was cool. We got a chance to Make a little “statement” (of WestCoast Unity in Hip-Hop/Rap) with that “mini-tour”. & I got a chance to “Check the Pulse” of This Generation of Diverse Rap fans.
I know that Warzone is working on a new album. Any details that you can give about it or a release date?
**. Well that album has been DONE for months now, So honestly i’m just as “in the Dark” about if/when it’s gonna be Released as YOU are! lol -i DON’T KNOW What’s goin on with KOCH RECORDS & that album rite now.
What is a studio session like with 3 MC’s like yourself, Goldie Loc and MC Eiht?
**. “FOGGY”! lol..(cuz u know i don’t smoke). naw but we’re just NATURAL. Each one of us just DO WHAT WE DO NATURALLY! Any PROFESSIONAL ARTIST is Naturally gon FEED OFF OF THE VIBE & ENERGY of Another PROFESSIONAL. So that’s all we do. Of Course you know that “I” have a Different “IMAGE” than they do, so it’s a Welcome-Challenge for me to have to be Creative enough (with my style) to Find the “Common-Ground” in Every Song-subject that I could express my “image” On.
What are your thoughts on how unified or maybe un unified the west coast is right now musically?
**. Where ever Our Unity (or lack of Unity) on the WestCoast (in this “Music Biz”) Is right now, It Is just a Reflection of Where WE Are IN REAL LIFE! Today, RAPPERS ARE ACTUALLY THE LEADERS of Where “REAL LIFE” Will GO! -BECAUSE “WE” ARE THE ONLY ONES WHO THE YOUTH ARE REALLY LISTENING TO! -So “WE” are really the Ones TO BLAME for MOST of the DIS-UNITY in Our Community right now. WE (ARTISTS) DON’T KNOW THAT WE ARE BEIN MANIPULATED (Thru MONEY & FAME) BY WICKED-RACISTS WORLD-POWERS -To keep OUR PEOPLES’ MINDS on a LOW (IGNORANT/SAVAGE) LEVEL! THE ENEMY HAS TURNED US INTO “PIED-PIPERS” WHO ARE DANCING OUR PEOPLE TO THEIR OWN “SLAUGHTER”!
What is the status of your upcoming solo album?
** I’m Constantly Writing & Workin on NEW SONGS, so it won’t just be ONE SOLO ALBUM that i will be Releasin soon.. It will be a WAVE of Things coming in 2009 (GOD Willin).
Have you had a chance to get back in the studio with Dr. Dre to record anything else other than the Murder Dem Murderers track?
**. No I Haven’t. My younger brother (Yung Bruh) has been doing alot of work over there with him for his Detox Album.
Has he approached you about being on Detox?
**. No Sir.
Are you and your brother Yung Bruh still going to do a album together and if so have you guys started recording anything yet?
**. YESSIR.. That’s One of the “WAVES”..lol
