DX: I think a good way to put a bow on it is to go grab this Digi Snax album—be entertained, pick the jewels out of there, and RZA gets another check too... [Laughs]
R: [Laughs] Exactly. That’s funny though, because to be honest with you—and I’ll be honest with you because I haven’t really told anyone else this and I’ve been doing interviews all day. I’m hired to do this. I didn’t make the album and go shop for a deal. The label called and literally asked, “How about another Bobby Digital album?” I didn’t want to do it at first because I was chillin’ and making money doing whatever I’m doing. But, after 8 Diagrams I was like, “Alright, fuck it. I might as well.” That was like a bad taste in my mouth and I had that emcee vengeance in me, so I figured I might as well do that.

The time I spent from January all the way up until September is part of Bobby Digital. Basically, the money I’m making for that is paying me for this year. I give myself a quota that I have to make every year, and this is helping to reach that quota. But, I would’ve taken that same amount of money from the scientific community. I’d have taken it from the philosophic community if they would’ve approached me.

DX: It just so happened that it came from Koch, so maybe this is meant to be for right now.
R: Exactly, it just came from Koch, right? [Laughs]
