This collection of in-depth interviews features hip-hop artists Elzhi, Quan, junclassic, O.C., Lord Finesse, Showbiz, Psycho Les, Craig G, Killah Priest, Reef the Lost Cauze, Ras Kass, Tonedeff, Ali Vegas, and Q-Unique. These interviews were conducted between 2016-2017. "I like my interviews to be informative and worthwhile reads. And you took time out to find some incredible questions and some dope questions that will make you think. The last thing you want to do is deal with an interviewer that's going to ask you everything that's on your bio." - Lord Finesse "As both a journalist and a musician, I respect the craft of knowing your sh*t. I call it a craft because as a musician, once you've been around for awhile, people tend to ask you questions solely about your most popular record, or the one they personally like the most. That's fandom, not journalism. And as a journalist, there's nothing like showing the artist you've done your homework and they open up to you. In this era of overnight craftsmen and blurred lines between fandom and journalism, Brian has paid his dues and understands that conducting a good interview is an art - and a lost one at that." - J-Zone "Brian is one of the pioneers of post-millennial hip-hop journalism. Brian exhibited his sardonic wit and endearing descriptions of hip-hop's development from the basements of the underground to the boardrooms of the mainstream. He was the first to have a blog speaking about weekly developments in hip-hop. It was funny, full of depth, and most of all, informative. His mission has never wavered since then. He gives a voice to the voiceless and is a treasure in hip-hop literature. I am honored and privileged to call him a friend." - junclassic "I really believe some people have ulterior motives when they conduct interviews but in my experience talking with B, it's 100% comfortability in his Q and A and genuine interest. He's not a journalist talking to me about being an artist but a vibe of two human beings having life conversation." - O.C. "This guy's career spans decades that has seen so many trends come and go, but if one thing has stayed consistent, it's the integrity he's associated with." - Pack FM "In-depth journalism at its best. No cookie cutter questions over here." - Beneficence "I've known Brian for many years and he's one of the few writers I've met that has the persistent passion and dedication required for greatness. He approaches everything with a purity and idealism that's necessary for real journalism, and in my opinion, is one of the few true writers left in the world." - Audible Doctor "Brian has been an early pillar in the online hip-hop community. I trust he knows his stuff. I don't do many interviews but I always answer his call because I trust his hip-hop knowledge." - Craig G "Shout out to Brian. We go back. He's one of the dopest cats in hip-hop at all levels. Word." - Killah Priest
