Dubcnn sat down recently with southern veteran, Big Mike. Many of you got to know Big Mike from his short-lived stint along side Bushwick Bill & Scarface in the Geto Boys, appearing on the groupﾒs gold-selling ﾑTil Death Do Us Part album.
Showcased on stand-out cuts like Crooked Officer, No Guts, No Glory, Big Mike paved the way for his debut solo album Something Serious, a project that featured the singles Playa Playa, Having Things and World of Mine.
What many people donﾒt know is that this New Orleans native first came up on the scene with his group The Convicts, who were courted by Death Row Records in the early 90ﾒs. Big Mike spent a considerable amount of time working with Dr. Dre on the producerﾒs classic solo debut The Chronic, as well as having the good doctor initially working on what was supposed to be The Convictsﾒ Death Row debut.
In this exclusive interview with Chad Kiser & Jonathan Hay, Big Mike talks about some of the current projects he has in store for us, fills us in on the history behind the Crooked Officer track that was initially written for Dr. Dre, and discusses his time spent on Death Row.
