Dubcnn: Just to start off the interview could you introduce yourself to the fans that might not be familiar with Bone Crusher?

Yo, this is Bone Crusher – Southern Bred, outstanding, Mr. Never scared.


Dubcnn: Can you tell us how you got into the Hip-Hop scene?

Uhm, shit. ’91 - ’92, I started freestyling and searching through my neighbourhood and got good and in ’93 – ’94 I hooked up with a company called Black Market Entertainment if you’ve ever heard of them. They do Lil Jon, Scrappy and E-40 and a few other people. We worked with them for a while and then we signed a couple of deals and ended up on Tommy Boy [Entertainment], I did one with Penthouse and did a few songs with a couple of artists like Too $hort, The Nasty Boys – a lot of people, Jermaine – a few people and from there I did a song in 2002 called “Never Scared” which blew up big and I ended up signing with JD for “So So Def” and from there we did a couple of records which was outstanding, the last album went gold, almost platinum and a few albums coming out within the next month – July 18th.


Dubcnn: You used to have a deal with Tommy Boy Entertainment, where you released your album “Attenchun”, what happened with that deal?

Tommy Boy flopped, they kind of just fell off and when they went down they couldn’t hold anybody so we just got off them.


Dubcnn: Okay and a lot of people are wondering why you left So So Def?

Oh yea, So So Def – I left the situation because it wasn’t working at Jive, so I left that situation because when he left he couldn’t take none of his artists so it really wasn’t that we left So So Def, its just that we had no choice but to stay on Jive.


Dubcnn: Okay so no bad blood between you and So So Def then?

Nah, Bad Blood? They ain’t done nothing to me! *laugh*


Dubcnn: So are you currently signed or waiting upon the right deal?

Uhm, I’m not signed and I’m not trying to be signed. I’m just trying to do records like this and do this and if they like our material then we can go from there.


Dubcnn: Okay so you’re independent at the moment

Yeah.


Dubcnn: Your working on a new album called M.A.S.H. Can you tell us the status of this album?

Oh the M.A.S.H is not coming out, that was on Jive – I’m not on Jive anymore.

It’s not happening.


Dubcnn: Okay. On your album “Attenchun”, there is a lot of big name features from such people are T.I, J.D and Lil Jon – will your future albums be the same or are you staying inside your camp for this?

Yeah, I’m staying in my camp.


Dubcnn: Okay, what’s the status on the Lyrical Giants; can we expect more records in the future?
