We discuss his new group, Zoo Life, who will be droppping their new album, Concrete Jungle, in January, his NWA solo project, the status on the Graveyard Shift album with Spider Loc, and much more. Never one to bite his tongue, 40 got alot to say in this interview so check it out.

Illuminati 2G is here with 40 Glocc how's it going?

What up, what up wit it mayne. What it do?

Not too much. Let's get right into it. December 1st, the new album Concrete Jungle comes out (now pushed back to January). Give a little background for those not familiar with the group. How did the group come together for you?

Zoo Life is something that I built from the ground up. Basically it is a gang of street...., well it is the streets. I came up with the idea from being a part of minorities and being a minority and how we are just labeled as animals. So I was like, you want to label us animals then this is what it is. We animals and we are Zoo Life and we are gonna go WILD! We are just going to do what we do and we are not going to take no bull from nobody. That is how it came about with the select few that are with it now. It is a active and growing movement and I think that it is going to be bigger then life. That is my goal, to make it real huge.

Because everybody can be a part of it and relate to it. We don't have that anymore, people act like the ghetto don't exist anymore. They telling us..., you got to remember all the hip hop and gangsta rap, everything associated with hip hop comes from the streets. Radio does not tell us what to do or how to make music. Everybody is forgetting about the streets and that the streets is wide and it made it why hip hop exists. Zoo Life is everything that is going against the grain right now. Everybody is going to the right, we going to the left, and we are over here and we are standing firm with what we doing. We standing firm and we are proud so that is how we came about with Zoo Life. It consists of Lil Boo, Gail Gotti, Sun, Village Boo, TipToe, Yak, man we got a fleet of artists and it goes on for days, but we still recruiting and we getting it in and putting it in and coming tough with it.

Concrete Jungle is what we came up with because we like this is our jungle, the streets. This asphalt we on, so that is where Zoo Life comes from and how it came about.

Tell me a little bit about the title track and then the video that dropped a while back for Concrete Jungle.



That was just a tester just to give people a quick jab in the face and let them know that we not following none of your trends. Everybody is doing the same thing and moving the same way, but they all are just following the politics of it so that is why you see me. I am letting people know we are the ghetto and the streets. I don't cater to radio, or the club, I cater to whatever I want to do. If I want to do a club song, I do it, if I do a radio song, I do it. If I do a song and I don't think it is radio, but it makes radio, hey cool. If I want to do something positive, I do it, if I want to make some negative music, I do it. It's independent and that is where hip hop comes from and we bringing it back. The streets man.

Who is up next from Zoo Life as far as solo projects? Do you guys have that set up as far as who is coming up next?

Yeah my solo is coming next. NWA, it is called New World Agenda. That drops in February, then we got Lil Boo, Zoo Babies, Lil Boo, Tip Toe, Yak and Sun he is from out of Houston, Texas. He is the only down south artist with us, but we are working so hard and heavy right now. Gail Gotti is pushing her shit right now, she getting it in and we are just working heavy. I am trying to make us like a conglomerate, but like I said my album is next. NWA, stands for New World Agenda and it will talk about the street politics aspect of the world. Zoo Life album Concrete Jungle is basically the introduction to a new beginning.

That leads right into my next question. You have been dealing with court injunctions, and different things. Has what happened to you outside of music has that fueled the NWA album? You talked about street politics, is that going to deal with the issues and things you have dealt with outside of music or is it a conglomerate of different things? What is the basic concept behind the album?

As far as Concrete Jungle, yeah it basically does have alot to do with what is going on in my life. You have to remember, everyone that is a part of Zoo Life, is a part of my life. G-Unit is my immediate family forever. They help me with everything that I do and 50 supports me with everything that I do. Mobb Deep, Prodigy and Havoc, same thing. This ain't nothing but a business venture and Zoo Life is a new movement. 50 supports the movement and I am saying this to say everybody in and around Zoo Life, definitely my life affects them. You feel what I'm saying?

Yeah.

Because what I go through, they feel it too. They going through the same shit and Concrete Jungle, basically the outcome of the album is me and the group mature. You with feel and hear the maturity in the music and yeah it has alot of political subject matter because I am going through that shit right now. I am touching on that ALOT and yeah you are right, it adds fuel to my flame. I get mad talking about it, right now we...., right now the system is crooked and corrupted like a mothafucka. I don't feel it, I am just like I am on another page and another level right now. I am just expressing my views and expressing how I feel and what I go through.

No holds barred and I am not holding my tongue and I fight. I am fighting for what I believe in, I fight...., if I think I am right, I'm fighting. If I think I'm wrong, then I am still fighting. I am a ride or die type of dude, I will fight till the wheels fall off. Just to prove my point because if I stand up, it will make another person stand up and hopefully make another person stand up and that will attract other person to do the same. Then they will know you can't do this to us. This is American soil, like when they label us gang bangers. You can label somebody a gang banger but just watch and peep what they do. I watched..., you remember the movie Colors?

Yeah.

I watched it the other night and there was a scene on there and they put a dude on gang file and this SOOO old. Look how old this movie was and they already knew what they was doing back then. When they put you on the gang file back in the day like that, now look it is 2010, and now it shows you what that shit do. They lock niggas up and put them on that shit, but you don't even have to be a murderer or a killer, all you do is say that you are a gang member. It's now illegal to be a gang member man! How is it illegal to be a gang member but the justice system does not lead you to believe that it is illegal to be a skinhead or a KKK member or any other milita group although some of them might go out and do bad shit.

Crips was a movement. It was not even like that, people stereotype. Everybody that is a Crip ain't just out and fucking shit up and killing mothafuckas. I just want to express my views on that and let people know because the streets know that, the suburbs don't. I am just trying to touch it and let them know. That is what the album is based upon, street life. My target is the kids, minors, everyone, I want to bring it back to the real, the streets. Nobody is doing they own, everybody is doing the same shit. They following so much of the same shit that it is aggrevating to me. I like that there is no violence, but it is entertainment. I like horror movies, I like Rambo, I like Commando, I like Rocky.

Right.

I like Scarface man, I like Rated R films. I don't want to walk in and go watch Shrek, ya feel me?

(laughs) Right.

(laughs) That is what hip hop is turning into, Shrek. I don't want to watch Shrek. Let those who want to watch it, watch it. I am a Rated R movie, I want to watch porno, all kinds of X-Rated shit and Rated R shit. So that is my example of all of my music, and NWA is my solo, and I am touching all political issues super heavy. The record is coming out dope and I am still also doing my variety of club records and so forth. It is gonna come out real dope. Alchemist and Havoc are producing on my solo, on this project (Zoo Life) Havoc got some shit on there, Tek, J-Steez, Sose, he produced the song Grindin, which is on ThisIs50.com.



It is a hot video, Kurupt is in there acting with us and for everybody that don't know, I direct my own videos. I get the people to shoot it and I come up with the ideas and the concepts so I am doing everything man, we spearheading this joint.

Another project that has kind off been off and on and alot of people ask about it is the Graveyard Shift project with you and Spider Loc. Is that still on or what is going on with that album?

It's still on. I landed my distribution and label deal so me and Spider gonna work it out and get it out there. The album is dope, we finished it and it is banging. We got it wrapped up and it is ready to go, so it is just a matter of time before we get it out there. We definitely gonna push it because it would be a waste to let all that good music go away. And he know that also, but we both been busy doing our own thing. Spider got BAYMAAC, I got Zoo Life, 50 doing his thing, everybody doing they own thing. We are a part of 50's movement, with that being said, Prodigy finished up his solo project, Havoc did his, I am stepping out doing mine and I am pushing my label. I am doing my own indie label right now in California.

We are the most progressive and talented movement and crew that is out in Southern California. With that being said, we ready to tear shit up (laughs).

Ok. Do you have any upcoming shows or tour dates with yourself or Zoo Life to help promote the album that you want to let the people know about?

Yeah we are going to be on the road. We have not penciled in the tour dates yet but it is coming but we definitely doing shows, we definitely doing tours, but right now we are dropping and supplying content and just letting the people know what is going on with the artists.

[LONDON!!]

good interview, 40 glocc is a deep brother, he talks sense

everybody out here is just trying to survive, none of my human being's are animals, anything that happens on roads is just my people trying to survive in a system controlled capitalist world that we living in, we ain't animals or animals to each other, it's just trying to survive in the system created enviroment my human being people are living in, true story, you see what i'm saying, i could never look down on another human being, everybody is equal, no one is better than anyone, trust me on that

the only animals out here are sex offenders and the devils that control the system, practicing eugenics, population control and imperialism, they don't count, there alien to me, true story, they ain't human beings that are on a level at all, so fuck em, i have no empathy wit them

and fuck rats and fags too, i have no empathy wit them neither, any fag that roots another man is a savage to me or a weakheart piece of shit that does a crime but can't be man enough to do the time and rats on everyone, fucking up people's family's, or weakhearts that go on like they know the street codes but rat on people trying to survive to the authorities, anyone like that, to me yeah, is a devil and i don't have empathy wit them neither

a lot of people don't know also that the crip movement started from the black panther(la chapter) movement which was led by warriors like bunchy carter, who came up from the street crews in the 60's like the gladiators and the slausons that were protecting the community from racism in la at the time, the crip movement came out of community organization, it wern't random out of nowhere, you see what i'm saying, it was deeper that the mainstream stereotypes that go around now, true story

but yeah, on a diffrent note, i've got two usernames on my laptop, because i brought this laptop off my cousin, but i can't seem to connect to the internet properly on my 'guest' username which i always use, so i tried my cousin's username, which i'm typing from now and there ain't no problems

do you think theirs a virus on my guest username that is blocking me from accessing the internet properly?
