exclusive interview

E. White: I do alot of brainstorming with the conditions that I'm in. It's dorm settings it's about 200 mothafuckas sitting around you at all times. Sometimes niggas wanna talk, niggas wanna chop it up and pass time. I go over alot of ideas, I ain't got the time to really just write and do my music how I usually do it. I focus on the topics I wanna get done when I get outta here but it would be nothing for me to just mash out like 100 songs in about a month. If that long when I'm up out this bitch.

WestCoastRydaz.com: You see anybody you recognize in there?

E. White: We was celled up together in the county. Me, C-Bo, Tray Dee together. Me and C-Bo came in the same day from Wayside. LA county. Ran into Tray Dee. So they had us move over in the cell next to him, we all chopped it up together for about two weeks. I was the first one to go to the pen, I think C-Bo left a month after me. I think he actually back home now. He had a 40 glock and a bulletproof vest and they set him down for two years. I think he left in July. Tray Dee is actually up here with me right now.

WestCoastRydaz.com: Hows Tray Dee doing?

E. White: They on lockdown, they just stabbed two punk police on they yard. Them niggas be locked down for at least 6 months. But he on the same yard it happened at, the C yard. I think they broke him off like 12 years, he ain't getting home till November 2013 and shit. All I can do is pray for him but I'm trying to see him up here. I'm trying to see him though, I work at the hospital, I been shooting kites out to him. So if he can get down there I'll be able to chop it with him and let him know my situation and what I can do for him when I get up outta here. It's straight man, everything meant to be bad don't always turn out that way.

I feel like this is the best thing that could've happened to me at this time in my career. My life in general. Give me time to stop and focus, and analyze and learn about myself and what's going on with this business that I'm trying to succeed in. But I'll be out, I got about 89 days so I'll just work out a little bit, read, play a little hoop, I don't really fuck around do the bullshit. You got your crips, you got your bloods so we keep it tight. A few LA niggas, like I say Bay niggas, niggas from other spots. But it's pretty kick back. I'm actually in Salinas Valley. Right across the street from Soledad. It's cool, we along the coast so the weather don't really get too bad. We get the breeze. Alot of niggas trying to get on, alot of niggas rappin, just wanna say something supportive to a nigga so it's all love.

WestCoastRydaz.com: You been receiving alot of letters from fans?

E. White: Yeah I wanna give a special thanks to them for supporting me. From overseas, and I wanna let them know right now it's hard for me to respond to the overseas letters due to the stamps and the way they send out mail here. I don't know how they do it but everybody in the states, I try to take the time out to get back at them. It really helped me keep my head up to know people was saying positive things. If I get a letter from somebody I don't even know saying White keep ya head up and keep doing what you doing, that help a nigga day go by. So I wanna give a shout out to the website right now, the whole West Coast Rydaz. That situation did a whole lot for me. So just keep on doing what you doing and I'mma keep on doing it from the heart for all yall.

WestCoastRydaz.com: What are your thought's on Snoop's Westcoast Peace conference?

E. White: Anybody that's pushing a positive line, I condone that. Especially if it ain't niggas masquerading. If it's from the heart and if it's something niggas really trying to push then I'm all for that. It needs to be some positivity with the situations going right now, all the beefing and all the nonsense. Young niggas, basically ghetto niggas and minorities trying to make money off this game. So if that would be something that would stop the bullets and the violence that's hindering us as a west coast movement, from bubbling, then I'm with it. But I don't know, it remains to be seen, niggas change like the weather so it ain't ever no telling. Like I said, if it ain't no masquerading and if it's from the heart then I support what they doing.

WestCoastRydaz.com: What's the situation with Doggystyle? Are you off the label and free to do what you please?

E. White: From what I understand, I'm officially off the label. I think as far back as June. It's kinda hard to contact the people I need to contact, but as far as speaking with my lawyer and representation, I'm officially a free agent. I think that's a good thing for me.

WestCoastRydaz.com: So what are your plans, will you continue to work with Perfection or are you going to start your own independent label?

E. White: What I gotta do, I'mma work with as many people as I can. That's something I'mma always do whether I get paid a dollar off it. Really my only plans is to work, work, work. I got alot of shit on my mind, I feel like i've grown in alot of areas. I'm not necessarily bitter about stuff, I get kinda upset being out here sometimes but I just look at the long term picture. I think it's the best thing that could've happened to me and for me. I got alot of work to do and I feel like I got alot of music to do so I'mma live in the studio. Ain't nobody gonna see me! So I'mma live in the studio until I get the amount of music done that I wanna get done to where I can start shopping that product right there. That's what I'mma do. Just start shopping it the best way I see fit, run into the right situation. When that right situation occurs then I'll be able to make my decision from there, but whatever's gonna allow me my creative control and to be who I am and do what I do, and create some financial stability for me, that's what I'mma hop into.

WestCoastRydaz.com: Talk about the recording process for 48 Hours: The White Album. That must've been hard to do in such a short amount of time.

E. White: It was. It was real last minute. I had to turn myself in on June 9th I think. I got the word from my cousins and them, T-Dubb and the Perfection Label that we was gonna have two days to lock up and do the album. You gotta imagine the amount of stress a nigga was under. I ain't saying fear or being scared or nothing like that cause I had to turn myself in. I surrendered. I could've ran, I could've hid, but I chose to come and sit down for 19 months and some change. I felt that was the best thing for me to do. But I knew I had to leave with some music so I locked up in the studio for 48 hours straight. I wasn't there for the process when it got mixed down, mastered, I wasn't even there for the features. I just laid my verses and made sure that the verse I laid was something I wanted to keep or that I could run with and leave out there for the people while I was gonna be gone. I just did like 6,7 songs a day, now I stopped. It was tiring, I knocked out for about an hour in the studio, had the engineers in there wake me up. I would pop up on my own and both of them knocked out. I wake em up and let's get busy.

I just sweated it out, cause I wanted to do that. I could've been doing anything else with my last days but if this is my life and my career, I could'nt see doing nothing else then to try and make a lil album and I appreciate what they did for me and giving me that opportunity. But at the same time, I feel like I got a whole more to offer as far as my talent and my work and skills, I wasn't able to showcase what I could do. You know how it is, it's just 2 days. I'm talkin bout 48 hours was 48 hours. I gave it all I had, tired as a mothafucka, stressed out. But I did what I had to do and I don't want them to judge me as that's as good as I can get. That's whatever I managed to pull up out my system them 2 days. Hopefully people like it, I got some good feedback on it, but it can't really be compared as my official debut.

WestCoastRydaz.com: Yeah it can't really be labeled as an official debut as you weren't around for the entire process....

E. White: I never heard the songs completed, all I heard was my completed verse. I could'nt go over no ideas and get deeper into the process of making a song. I felt like I had to leave em with something. Better to leave em with something then leave em with nothing. I felt like that was the best decision to do right there. I appreciate them for making that happen for me.

WestCoastRydaz.com: So hat plans are your plans? What's the first thing you think you will do when you get out, besides hit the studio?

E. White: I don't know. I think alot of niggas in here talk about getting some head and getting a cheeseburger. I ain't really trippin off that, It's been 15, 16 months since I had some and I done did this long. I'm not in a rush just to get back out there and focus on things that ain't really pertaining to my career. I wanna get with my loved ones, my mom, my pops, my sister, my niece, my brotha, my cousins. People that's close to me and people that's reached out to me in these times right here. When I'm at my lowest. So I feel like I wanna get closer to them and let them know I feel the same way. Just take life slow, I don't wanna get back out there moving fast and get caught up in the lights and the big cars and all that shit. I'm thankful and appreciative that I can get back out there in society as a free man and work myself as a person and my skills, crafts.

WestCoastRydaz.com: Anything you wanna end this interview off with?

E. White: I wanna tell em I'm trying to get out there and do it like Game did it to em. On that official debut, get out there and move a few million units. SO I'mma try and put myself in that situation. I heard that niggas album while I was in here, and to be real with you that's the best west coast album I've heard in about 10 years. I don't think the nigga followed the basic formula of what it is to make a hit record. I didn't hear no crunk music on there, and I ain't knockin crunk music but I didn't hear no club songs. Of course the 808s and This is How We do. But you don't hear him on there hollerin' club this, club that, and I think it shows the industry that west coast artists sell spitting raw street music. And that beef shit, I wanna see the nigga live a little bit, I don't wanna see the nigga come to jail for a long time or no time for that matter. So I don't know what I would say to him is probably try and stay away from beef shit right now. Enjoy what you work for. Niggas in the prime of his life right now and he did that shit.

WestCoastRydaz.com: It's good to hear you say that even after the beef you guys had last year..

E. White: Oh he did his thing. I ain't gonna lie on a mothafucka, the boy got talent. He went out there and did his thing. I give credit where credit is due.
