Wordz: We shutdown the barn at Gottwood. It was fuckin crazy.
BlackJosh: I dont even gas my shows I say they are alright and that, but I had fun! I was gassed to host Chimpo's set there and yo the fuckin spirit took over me. It was dutty! There was people on the outside looking in at everyone going sick.
Wordz: There was steam on the motherfuckin windows Ceej. Shouts to Uncle Ian and Nanny Banton aka Sean Paul.
BlackJosh: Yo Nanny Banton had me gassed! Aw I was trippin on acid yeah...
Wordz: Tell em!
BlackJosh: stood in the middle of the woods and he turns to me now yeah and he goes 'I forgive ya but my tommy gun don't! bang bang bang' Guy set my trip off gnarly.
I know you've been spending alot of time in the studio and I've heard your making movements with Blah too now Wordz, what releases can we expect in the near future?
Wordz: Obviously I've been in talks with Blah Records now for a while but I'm starting work on my first EP with them. That's like the make or break so no pressure but yeah I'm bringin the hood to Blah, we got Josh there already so makes sense. It's sick to be working with Lee Scott too, nobody has had beats off him for a while now.
I've got an EP with 2late too and loads of loose music im just not doing anything with so im working on releasing that, that's gonna be called the 'Bae Charles EP'. I've been working more frequently with Mosh Team aswell got some tracks down for the new mixtape called 'Mosh World Order'.
BlackJosh: I'm droppin the Smoking Kills EP with Pete Cannon July 7th and just released the 'Know About It' video off there! And yeah droppin Ratchet album with Blah too. (LOADS OF OTHER STUFF YOU AREN"T READY TO KNOW YET)
I think we might have leaked way too much future shit, we forget because it's you Ceej we're just tellin you everything!
Hahaa tell me who the bitches are? and what's the gossip!?
BlackJosh: wellll it is Bloc2Bloc, the neighbourhood watch.
Wordz: Let's get it right before we get it wrong!
I'm kiddin, what's your work process these days?
BlackJosh: I've just been getting out there, getting some life experience going studio and talking about it. My whole throught process was that I wanna make a happy chilled EP in terms of the vibe , well as happy as I can be in terms of what makes me happy. So yeah the little boy in me who likes the good shit, the happy shit he wanted some new music and that was why 'Smoking Kills' sort of came about.
What about your sound?
Wordz: It's that hood hippy, scally rap sound but very much cultish to the fuckin death
I hear that, It's a big thing you're pushing the Manchester HipHop scene nationally and working with other UK rappers etc, who can we expect some collaborations with?
BlackJosh: The Bluntskins, but outside of manny there's obviously the Blah guys. I've got a Cult Mountain feature too, you can know that.Wordz: Tommy Dockers...
Anybody you'd like to work with in the future?
BlackJosh: Strategy.....Onoe Caponoe
Wordz: I wanna get some shit done with Chimpo yano and DRS, Strategy, Fox and yeah my Uncles basically.
BlackJosh: Dub Phizix, The Godfathers init.
Who are your current influences?
BlackJosh: Trellion, Milkavelli and Lee Scott. Ugly Mane and Action Bronson too.
Wordz: If you don't listen to Future yeah you're blashphemous! Er Post Malone, Belly, and I'd say r kid yano. I'd say Joshua cos obviously I do most of my writing with Josh so yeah.
Can you leave us with a summer tune please!
