JS: WHAT ARE SOME OF THE POSITIVE CHANGES YOU SEEN HIP HOP GO THROUGH SINCE COMING ON THE SCENE YEARS AGO?
We came in the game about 20yrs ago and hip has grown around the world and has become the number one music now in mainstream. We and other artists that came up with us watched hip hop go to being mentioned in the grammys to New styles of it around the world etc. I think The state of hip hop right now is incredible.
JS: WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK ABOUT COMING BACK TO PHILLY?
We love philly..it not just an important corporate city in america but its where we got our start. We basically lived in studio four. (which is now batcave) We would see Will Smith in there, jazzy jeff and many others. So philly was always good with us. This like our homecoming in a way.
