Chali: The method to our madness is that there is no method. We just do whatever we can to make a song. We will bend and shape stuff, we will compromise our own egos and things that we may've contributed to the song in order to make an incredible song. There is no time when we're like, 'man, my verse should stay there, and you're like, 'nah but your verse doesn't fit with the song'. And just because of egotistical issues you keep the verse and it makes it a lesser song. No, for us, we try EVERYTHING! So if one of us has a chorus that works, then we'll build the song around that, if Numark comes with the music first, if we're all sitting around shooting shit and talking about stuff and that brings up an issue, there's so many different ways that we've tried it. We've even recorded in different places.

How does it feel to inspire someone else who've very much keeping the b-boy scene and old school hip hop vibe alive, digging for old tunes and samples? The roots of djing and mixing? Music for the Mature BBoy is somewhat of a classic album.
