DJ “Z” from DJBooth.net has interviewed Atlanta hip-hop duo signed to Rowdy/Major Way/Universal, Da Backwudz.
These lyrical assassins have been grindin’ for years, starting with Milwaukee Black’s Major Way Entertainment where they developed their sound. Then in 2004, they linked with Rowdy Records, headed by super producer Dallas Austin (Drumline, TLC, Boyz II Men). Now in 2006, Da Backwudz is emerging from the bushes with their debut album, Wood Work.
Their debut album, Wood Work, is a musical kaleidoscope representing all genres of music and yet, escapes any specific hip hop classification. This masterpiece features super production by Dallas Austin, Milwaukee Black, Rico Wade, Mr. DJ, DJ Toomp, Jasper and The Execs. Guest Appearances also include Nas, Slim Thug, Big Gipp, George Clinton, Sade, Killer Mike, Sleepy Brown, Bohagon, Caz Clay and Jeff B.
During the interview the guys talk about the serious side to their new music, why artists from down south get along so well, and why the city of Atlanta feels the need to expand their airport.
