TEK (Of Smif-N-Wessun) Interview with WeLiveThis.com Part 2
For part two of his interview with WeLiveThis.com, TEK (of Smif-N-Wessun) speaks on the artists that he would like to work with/would have liked to have work with. He then goes on to discuss what he feels the difference is between the hip hop artists of ’93-96 and the hip hop artists of today. Lastly, TEK discusses the projects that he and Steele have in the works, including the new Smif-N-Wessun album produced entirely by Pete Rock. The legendary underground hip hop duo is looking for album name suggestions, so speak your mind! At the end of the interview clip, check some footage of TEK in the recording process of Grind With Me, produced by S-Type, off TEK’s upcoming solo project, 24Kt Smoke.
A Smif-N-Wessun album produced entirely by Pete Rock definitely sounds like a crazy project that is unbelievable for underground hip hop music, and hip hop music in general. You’ve already been treated to a few joints from Steele’s Welcome To Bucktown project. Stay tuned for some leaks off TEK’s 24Kt Smoke coming soon. Part 3 of the WeLiveThis.com interview with TEK will drop early next week!
As a bonus, here’s the original version of Death Iz 4Ever, produced by Don Notz. This track was on TEK’s last solo project, U.G.P. The G-Mix of the track featuring both TEK and Steele will be featured on TEK’s 24Kt Smoke, and Don Notz debut compilation album, Lead By Example.
