blame it on JES7 April 22, 2012

I think I’m gonna put on Foreign Exchange’s Connected and The Chitlin Circuit 1.5. Yep.

I’m excited to present our interview with the legendary producer 9th Wonder and Grammy nominated emcee/singer/songwriter Phonte. I caught up with them in Toronto this past fall and due to unforeseen circumstances we lost the video footage but we still felt the world needed to hear this interview, so we put together the audio, our photography, and with some great editing skills we are happy to share it with you.

9th Wonder first answers how we can educate our culture on the history of Hip-Hop and why it is important he also tells us what the difference is between Destiny and Legacy. Phonte then answers my questions and gives me an example about the “legitimate struggle between doing right thing and doing some nigga shit”. He also expands on what his GPS is in Hip-Hop industry, where it’s a game that has no blueprint he tells us what guides. They both also tell us what music means to them and more. Check out the interview below on The Come Up Show.
