As we’ve told you previously veteran West Coast rapper/producer, Gregory “Big Hutch” Hutchinson, a.k.a. Cold 187um is gearing up for the early 2011 release of his 4th solo body of work, the appropriately titled “Only God Can Judge Me”. So far we have given you Electric Lady and Lord Have Mercy from the now released “EF U Hutch EP”, which is available on iTunes now.
Today we are back with an exclusive interview with Big Hutch, his first since the June 2010 feature, to review his past, present and future.
Above the Law, comprised of Hutch, along with fellow group-mates; KMG the Illustrator, Go Mack and DJ Total K-Oss, “officially” came together as a collective back in the mid-to-late eighties, eventually catching the attention of pioneering “gangsta” dynamo, Eazy-E [R.I.P.]. After signing to E’s, then still burgeoning, Ruthless empire, A.T.L. dropped their impressive, Dr. Dre assisted debut, Livin’ Like Hustlers.
Over the course of the next decade-plus, the Hip-Hop quartet from Pomona, California, went on to record seven additional, mostly successful, projects; Vocally Pimpin’, Black Mafia Life, Uncle Sam’s Curse, Time Will Reveal, Legends, Forever: Rich Thugs, Book One and Sex, Money & Music, as a unit, whilst Hutch steadily continued to build up his elite clientele; the aforementioned Eazy, Kokane, Frost, Kam, MC Ren, Tupac Shakur, Tha Dogg Pound, among others, as a now highly revered beatsmith.
Although, as of late, Above the Law have suffered more than their fair share of, both personal and professional, lows, throughout it all Big Hutch & company somehow always seem to manage and uphold their reputable legacy in the game.
Dubcnn recently had the good pleasure of sitting down with the man, the myth, the living legend himself, Big Hutch, so sit back, relax and take notes.
