Jamaica, Queens native J-Zone may talk crazy ig’nant on wax, but the brilliant producer is far from unaware when it comes to this dirty game.

What is the average day of a Bo$$ Hog Barbarian?
Rest and dress, talk shit and swallow spit. Keep dead animals on the coat and on the Foreman Grill. Cuss loud and hog proud.

You can pick any artist dead/alive or in jail to drop a verse on the album, who would it be? Suga Free Are you and Celph gonna do this again?
Naah, it was a one off. Celph has a lot on his plate in other avenues and I'm focusing on production and some touring in the immediate future. We had a ton of fun doin this record, but we didn't intend to hog for more than one album. If it happens, it'll be naturally, we ain't gonna do an album out of convenience.

I know you're a big fan of the Bay area, you ever ghostride the protege in Queens?
Sideshows on Rockaway Freeway all day!!

Whats on deck for the rest of 06?
I have some instrumental shit dropping. The main project is a soundtrack I did for a movie treatment I was working on, called "To Love A Hooker". I never finished the movie, but I finished the soundtrack. It has characters, "film clips" from the "movie", all the beats are scenes in the "movie", but the "movie" hasn’t been made. The main character never speaks or raps, but all of the necessary elements for a concept album are there. It's like some make your own album shit, so MC's can do their own versions of the album if they choose. The beats are wild. I thought that would be different, fun and a way to show my range as a producer. Everybody is doin instrumental albums now. I always wanted to do one cause I got my start studying those old 45 King beat albums, but I wanted to do one that was more than just a compilation of beats. "To Love A Hooker" drops late summer on my label, Old Maid Ent. I also have some mp3 only and limited edition side shit I did for fun, all instrumental. Keep your ears peeled for that. No rapping for now, except at shows.

Producing for anyone in particular?
Sadat X, Tha Alkaholiks, Del, A Plus, Vakill, Vast Aire, Outerspace, Apathy, Akrobatik and some others.

What exactly is it like to love a hooker?
I dunno, I don't love them hoes! It’s just a concept/movie idea i had that i did a soundtrack for but never made the movie

So did you actually write a screenplay for it?
Sorta. I had characters and scenes mapped out, but I never got around to scripting it, I just scripted certain scenes that wound up on the "film clips" on the album and I had a few friends play characters. Continued on page 2 »
