Converse Rubber Tracks: Oh, Hello - Theophilus London Interview

Rubber Tracks interviews Theophilus about his writing process, the song he's working on and how he feels about the environment. 

Converse Rubber Tracks: Oh, Hello - Redman

Converse's Oh Hello feature catches up with Redman(@therealredman) to discuss his philosophies on what it takes for an artist to be successful, the technology shift in the music biz and his writing process.

For the record, I'm a Redman fan, not just because he's from also Jersey, but because as a rapper he ushered in an era where an "emcee" could be animated yet dope. At times he was an extension of Biz Markie when Kane was penning his material, humorous, but so damn funky you had to rewind his verses to appreciate the writing that much more.

As an artist he displayed a level of consistency and relevance that most artist can only dream of.

The GOD deserves more appreciation and if I'm one of the few to do it, "I'll Bee Dat". 

Jersey stand up!
