WISKEY TANGO INTERVIEW: DRC "FROM THE GROUND UNDA" MUSIC SERIES BY SHEMROK CHRIST

DRC:First off, tell the dratz and fans out there reading this, Who the hell is Wiskey Tango?


WISKEY TANGO:---Wiskey Tango is a multi-platinum dj/producer, international man of leisure, hip-hop legend, professional shit talker and part time ninja....

DRC:Tell us a little bit about your history- How did you get started Dj-ing and producing?

WISKEY TANGO:---A loooong time ago I saw Herbie Hancock perform "Rock It" on TV and saw Grandmixer DST scratching live and I said, I gotta do that. So needless to say I fucked up all my sisters REO Speedwagon and Queen records. Then from there i started djing for local MCs and then started to learn how to make tracks.


DRC:When was " the moment" you discovered and fell in love with hip hop? how did you know this was the music you wanted to be involved with and also create?

WISKEY TANGO:---My neighbors used to listen to hip hop and I would sit for hours just listening and then one day I asked the guy if I could borrow a tape and he gave me a tape. hip hop was in the very early stages, It was so raw, but so new and fresh and I have been hooked ever since.

DRC:What was the first hip hop 12 inch or lp that you bought?

WISKEY TANGO:---I remember the day like it was yesterday..... RUN DMC. (I also bought AC/DC that same day)



DRC: Whats your process like in the studio? how do you go about creating a track? what are some of the essential things you need to get loose in the recording studio?

WISKEY TANGO:---Smoke pot.. Turn everything on, smoke pot.. Turn everything on again cuz I usually forgot the first time.. I usually start hooking up drums, then find some dusty samples and that usually dictates which way the track will go..Smoke more...........
DRC: What gear do you you use in the studio? Do you like using hardware, software or both?

WISKEY TANGO:---Computers made things so much easier now, I still have all of my old equipment. ASR 10, MPC 2000xl, SP 1200. But now I use FL Studio and Protools , a rack of outboard gear for vocals and thousands of dusty records...

DRC:You were a member in seminal rapcore band Eastcide,what was your role in the group.

WISKEY TANGO:I was the DJ and resident douche bag.


DRC:Eastcide was a trail blazing rap/rock group. What happened to you guys, it seemed like you were destined to blow up supernova style, whats the behind the music rise and fall story?

WISKEY TANGO:---We were just playing the music we wanted to play and people seemed to like it. There was never no real "fall", we all just thought it was time to move on and do other things.

DRC:From the rap to the rock projects you've been involved with you've done a lot of live shows as well as touring the country, what are some of the best shows you've played during your career?

WISKEY TANGO:---I had fun at all the shows, made a lot of good friends and got to see some good acts/bands along the way.

DRC:Who are some of the more well known bands you've shared the stage with

WISKEY TANGO:---I toured so much when I was in Eastcide and Akrobatik. We did so many shows and played with everyone... Slipknot, Faith No More, ICP, Static X, Primus, Cyrpess Hill, Public Enemy, Nothingface, Grinspoon, Stain'd, Primer 55, Downset, Shootyz Groove, Kittie, Onyx, House Of Pain, Limp Bizkit, Naughty By Nature, Hed Pe, Sevendust, Cooler than Smack, The Wapred Tour, Ernie Ball tour, Locobazzooka Tour...this list could go on forever.

DRC:We heard your the reason behind the J-LO Marc Anthony break up - any truth to those rumors?

WISKEY TANGO:---Well TMZ is reporting about me and Jenn now. I used to mess with that trick back when she was a Fly Girl on In Living Color, then I ran into her in Dubai. I though to myself, "man, this bitch not only got a fat ass, but she got dough too". So she did some roofies and we ended up spending the week together.

DRC: What do you think about the current state of hip hop and the music industry in general?

WISKEY TANGO:SUCKS!!! Everyone is scared to be new and fresh...

DRC:What role do you feel the internet now plays in music?
(wether it be promotion,breaking new music or building a fan base?)
do you think the internet levels the playing field for indie artists by making it easier to get music directly to fans without a major label?
do you feel the internet is blessing , a curse , or both when it comes to indie rappers and musicans?

WISKEY TANGO:---It goes both ways.. Onone hand its great, anyone can get there music out.. On the other hand, shitty artists can put their music out and flood the net with horrible music. I respect anyone that tries, but some should not be posting music on line, it's just not that good.

DRC:What hip hop artists and producers have inspired and influenced your own music over the years?

WISKEY TANGO:---All the old skool stuff inspires me, and my crew, The Breaks really inspire me to make good music

DRC:who are some of your non-hip hop influences? some of your non - musical influences?

WISKEY TANGO:---I am influenced buy anything that is out of the norm, people really need to open their minds and see what else is out there.

DRC:What artists (solo or group) or producers , weather hip hop or in other genres are you dying to work with?

WISKEY TANGO:---Deftones, Siagon, Kool G Rap, Nas, Madonna, Justin Timberlake...


DRC: who are some of your favorite pornstars?

WISKEY TANGO:Sandee Westgate, Jannie and your moms

DRC: whats your craziest drunken ,high as shit rockstar moment?

WISKEY TANGO:----SHHH.. I'll catch some federal charges is a tell. But I will say that it involves a go go dancer, a donkey, a Ferarri and some carpet freshener.

DRC:as a producer what do you look for in choosing artists to work with and projects to work on?

WISKEY TANGO:--- I like to work with people that know what they want, and want to work and create good music.
But... if something is wack, imma let you know.

DRC:.can you tell us what your site www.rasiedonrakim.com is all about?

WISKEY TANGO:---ROR is about doing what ever the fuck we want to do in the name of real Hip-Hop.


DRC: other than rasiedonrakim.com what where else can fans find you and your musical projects online?

WISKEY TANGO:---You only need RaisedOnRakim.com

DRC:Whats in store for Wiskey tango for 2011 and beyond?

WISKEY TANGO:SEX, DRUGS & HIP-HOP


DRC:you've live a crazy life part krush groove - part heavy metal parking lot. hip hoping, party rocking, turntable needle dropping, at the end of it all when your six feet deep , what do you want your tombstone to read?

WISKEY TANGO:--- Fuck.




DRC:to wrap it up anything you want to say to your fans out there( new and old) who have supported your music through out the years? and what should we look out for in the upcoming months from the legendary madman that is wiskey tango?

WISKEY TANGO:---Thanks to all my friends and fans, this year, look out for more shows, some fresh gear (57originals), a RaisedOnRakim & Wiskey Tango smartphone apps, and new music of course...and there is a Wiskey Tango biography in the works.

SONS OF PAKAL INTERVIEW: DRC "FROM THE GROUND UNDA" MUSIC SERIES BY SHEMROK CHRIST

Sons of Pakal was formed in Boston, MA by mic-thrashing emcees Paco Loco and El Indio. The long time friends began to write tracks in February of 2011, focusing on diverse subjects, and delivering lyrics in both English and Spanish.
The group is composed of two passionate lyricists that strive to stimulate the thought process of the listener. SOP is raw, emotional street-wise hip -hop with intellect. They choose to speak on real social issues, and address real problems in society instead of indulging in the pretentious pop-cultural hip-hop that is saturating today’s radio and infesting the minds of today’s youth.
Paco Loco has received rave reviews in newspapers and magazines from Boston to Los Angeles since 1995. “The Latino MC slings the Spanish with a precise fury that Cypress Hill hasn’t exhibited since about 500 blunts ago” - Splendid Magazine.
El Indio has been a fixture in the East Coast hip-hop scene as a graffiti bomber for years, and also known around the way as an ill freestyle emcee in cyphers all over Boston. Ever since migrating to the U.S from El Salvador as a child, El Indio has embraced the elements and culture of hip-hop.
Sons of Pakal are currently in the studio recording a 7 track (EP) with CaLLe Productions, and have released the single “Tribal Soljahz”, which has started a buzz in beantown

currently performing live and causin' a muthafuckin ruckas around mass , SONS OF PAKAL take the time to kick it with DRUGRATZ.COM

DRC: First off, tell us who Sons of Pakal are. Group members, and a little history on how the group came about?

Paco Loco: “Sons of Pakal is Paco Loco, El Indio and DJ CaLLe, a hip hop group from Boston. Me and El Indio have been close friends for a long time, and talked about doing this for an ill minute. We finally decided to form a group. I had worked with CaLLe in two previous projects and became good friends with him as well, so we asked him to join.“.

DRC: What’s the meaning behind the name of the group?

Paco Loco: “King Pakal was the ruler of the Mayan Empire during the Golden Era, and we thought it was dope to rep like that. It took a while to actually come up with a name that we agreed on (laughs)”.

DRC: What are some of the musical influences behind the music you make?

El Indio: “For me it’s definitely Nas, Wu, Guru, and Big Pun”.

Paco Loco: “I would have to say NWA, Cypress Hill, A Tribe Called Quest, Smif n Wessun, Wu Tang, and Geto Boyz”.

DJ CaLLe: DJ Rectangle, DJ Qbert, Cypress Hill, Wu Tang, Biggie Smalls, and Redman.

DRC: Having been in the underground hip-hop scene for quite some time now, what do you think of the current state of hip-hop?

El Indio: “We’re not seeing the same creativity that we saw back in the day. It’s still alive, and the energy is still there, but we trying to bring back that thought provoking side of hip-hop”.

Paco Loco: “Orale Indio! That’s my thoughts exactly as well”.

DJ CaLLe: “We’re trying to revive the sleeping giant that was once hip-hop“.

DRC: What qualities do you think will help Sons of Pakal break out of the underground and into the speakers of the masses?

DJ CaLLe: “Live shows, online distribution, and word of mouf”.

El Indio: “I think originality and the overall concept we trying to bring, and the love and respect for the art itself”.

DRC: Can you tell us a little bit about your recording process, what producers are you working with, special guest emcees, and what you have in store for your upcoming recording project?

Paco Loco: “The next recording is gonna be a full length. We’ve already started pre-production on it, and have performed a few new tracks live. We gonna have some dope guest spots on the disk as well. As far as the recording process, let’s leave that to CaLLe”.

DJ CaLLe: “CaLLe productions is in the final process of building CaLLe Studio. In the meantime, we have been doing pre-production at my current home studio”.

7. It’s pretty dope that you mix English and Spanish in your rhymes. Following a path laid down by the likes of Kid Frost, Mellowman Ace, Cypress Hill, and Big Pun… How important is it to mix your culture with the sound and rhymes you create?

El Indio: “It’s very important, but for us it’s just natural. The cultural influence is there, but we really just trying to rep all the elements of hip-hop“.

Paco Loco: “That’s just the way we talk… we speak both Spanish and English everyday, so it makes sense that it would come across in the music as well”.

DRC: What do you think about downloading music online?

DJ CaLLe: “As an underground artist, I have no problem with free downloads. However I can see the mainstream view about it as well, as this is how they put their bread on the table.

DRC: How does music affect you and the world around you?

DJ CaLLe: “Very widely. As in work or play. I eat, breathe and sleep music”.

Paco Loco: “I always have my iPod on. I love all types of music;
Hip hop, Salsa, Son Jarocho, Hardcore. I like listening to music that reflects what’s going on in my life at that time“.

DRC: J-Lo or Kim Kardashian; Who has the biggest ass?

El Indio: “I’m gonna have to go with Kim on that one” .

DJ CaLLe: “J-Lo has the bigger ass, however it’s saggy (laughs).”

***** All three members laugh.
　
DRC: (To Paco) For Fans who have been following your whole career from Headcheck to Natural Chaos up to this point; What can they expect from this new project Sons of Pakal?

Paco Loco: “Expect some big things. It’s dope to work with cats that are like brothers to me. It makes it more like a brotherhood than a group. You can expect to hear some dope ass rhymes and slamming beats. Also, I’ve had a lot of shit happen to me in the past year that really changed the way I think about life in general. I lost my younger brother to an unexpected tragic death, and I lost the woman I was going to be with forever. I’m very focused on the music right now, and a lot of powerful stuff is coming out on these tracks. The tribal theme will always be there in anything I ever write, that’s always been my style… but I have some deep-rooted emotional pain right now that discretely finds it’s way into the music as well. I guess what I‘m trying to say is also expect to hear some deep shit on the up-coming LP“.
　
DRC: Where can fans find Sons of Pakal online?

Facebook, Reverbnation, youtube, and twitter.
