Big up RH!

Editing any Rhymefest interview can be a daunting task. Named a Twitter
“must follow” by the LA Times, Rhymefest has a lot to talk about both in and
out of the music business. We met Fest on a Wednesday evening in June, as
he was recording a feature for Sadat X at Grant Parks’ studio just outside
Chicago. Just a week before our interview, Fest announced that he was
granted a release from J Records, and that his sophomore album, El Che,
would be released in the coming months as an indie project. The
anticipation for the album has been well documented, as last year at this
time Rhymefest was dealing with leaks from the record thanks to a stolen
iPod. Many in Chicago’s Hip Hop community have whispered that Rhymefest
should have released his second album during that time to capitalize on the
daily posting concerning the music. However, all of the talk was news to
Rhymefest, who said during our interview, “all that s**t people talk, don’t
nobody say it to your face.” A self-pronounced approachable guy, Rhymefest
spoke candidly to us about the timing for El Che, his feelings on music (“I
don’t like it”), censorship and much, much more.
