Dubcnn Exclusive: Rick Rock

[Chad]

RICK ROCK (November 2011) | Interview By: Chad Kiser

Multi-platinum producer Rick Rock may not have the marquee name like Dr. Dre, Timbaland, Kanye West and others, but he has been one of the most reliable and employed West Coast rap producers of his time. Born in Alabama, but based in California, Rick Rock began earning major credits in 1996 when he contributed tracks to 2Pac’s “All Eyez On Me and E-40's “Hall Of Game”.

In the years to follow, he’s cranked out productions mainly for west coast rappers like Spice 1, and Xzibit; however, he’s also worked with mainstream artists like Will Smith, Fabolous, Method Man, Lisa Lopez, Mariah Carey among others.

Dubcnn sat down with the west coast heavy-hitter for a little Q&A to discuss his upcoming project, “Rocket”, producing for 2Pac, working with long-time collaborator E-40, possibly getting some work in with the 4-man collective -  Joe Budden, Joell Ortiz, Crooked I and Royce Da 5'9" – known as Slaughterhouse, and much more.
