[Spoken: Young Wicked, Will]
Joined today by none other than Young Wicked himself, the producer, artist, jack of all trades.
Whoop whoop! What up, family?
Didn't know that you were gonna take this interview so seriously to wear the mask to the interview-
Yup.
But love the dedication, brother.
Yup, I gotta keep pullin' my mask up just so I can hit this bowl of weed.
Makes for-
We'll take a picture, so when this comes out, we can Instagram it.
Right, right, so-
And everyone will know that we're tellin' the truth.
Breakfast of champions right there.
Ha ha, no doubt.
Okay, gotta start out by askin' ya, how does it feel to be Violent J's hype man on this solo charity tour, raisin' money for the sick kids?
I'll tell you what brother, it's the shit, and I'll tell you why. When I was younger, all I wanted to do was be on stage with ICP, you know what I'm saying. I'd go to the shows. The first time I was ever on stage with Joe and Joey was when I was about fifteen or sixteen, and it was a Bizzar Bizaar concert, and uh, I got- they called everyone up, but I was front row at the [?], so I was one of the first guys up there, and uh, I stood right next to Joe and busted off Faygos, and fuck, however many years later, and uh, I'm about to go out there hypin' him up on his first ever sol- er well, I guess this is the second ever solo tour, first ever on the west coast, and last of his kind to ever happen from what I'm told, so it's pretty fuckin' great, brother. Juggalo dream come true.
Awesome, awesome. Yes, this is the technically second leg of the same tour, but yes.
Yessir.
Just beautiful, beautiful. What did you actually think of working on this song, aptly named "Sick Kidz"?
Well, it was very dope. It was very different idea, you know what I mean, and uh, so I wanted to make sure that it was a serious, you know, beat, a serious sound, but also it had to have, um, what I call like a compassion to it, so when you hear my track, there's like, uh, it's, you know, you can hear what exactly what I'm talking about there, but yeah, it was great. It was uh, a great experience working with Nova and Eazy, you know. Gettin' their verses, that was like, uh, that was like openin' like a present on Christmas or something, you know what I'm saying, 'cause I was really geeked to find out what it was- what it was gonna sound like. I knew it was coming, and then when I got the shit, I was devastated by it, you know what I mean? Great fuckin' experience so far.
Beautiful, beautiful, okay. For those who don't know, Young Wicked actually made the beat for this song, so I have to ask-
Yup.
What inspiration or mind frame or, where did you have to go, mentally, to, to create this beat?
Yeah, like I said, I was just trying to keep it hard and serious, 'cause you know, Eazy E, Violent J, they're- those are some hardcore rappers- Ope. Hold up. I think that's Violent J calling me right now. Hold on one second. Yup, that's him right there. Hold up. Hello? Yeah, man, I'm doing a interview for the fuckin' uh, um, solo charity tour CD, for you- for your CD. Okay, I'll call you back. Alright. Alright, peace. See, that's how it goes down sometimes.
Yeah.
What was the question? Oh yeah. So, I went from a place of compassion, but also strength, you know what I mean? And Nova came, she did her thing on it, she brought the female element to it, that was really fresh, you know what I'm saying? But um, but uh, Eazy and Violent J kicked that hardcore shit. So we had to accommodate that. So honestly I just pulled from all that stuff, and I, and I made this really funky, really weird beat, man, and it came out dope, you know what I'm saying?
That it did. It was hella fresh, brother, hell fresh.
Thank you.
And yes, when the Duke calls, you must answer.
No doubt.
Have to know, and I'm sure the Juggalos are dyin' to know, are you workin' on anything currently? Anything we got to look forward to?
Yeah, fuck yeah, man. Uh, you know, I'm in the Lotus Pod twenty-four seven, so right now, I'm working on, well the Sick Kidz EP. By the time you hear this, you'll hear all my work on that. I'm wrappin' that all up, and I'm also workin' on- shit, uh, what could I tell y'all about? I'm - we're workin' on Shaggy 2 Dope's Fuck The Fuck Off album, er, Fuck The Fuck Off Mother Fucker album, and uh, that shit is coming along really dope. Me and, uh, Shaggy 2 Dope sit down together and make the beats for that, so, um, you know, it's just really fuckin' fresh. And we're also workin' on Behind the Paint audiobook. Um, it's actually, uh, gonna be comin' out with a little bit of a twist, a little bit of a different title, but I'll let that unfold for y'all. I'll leave that a secret, you know what I'm saying? But for right now we'll just say, we'll call it Behind the Paint audiobook, and I'm uh, we're fuckin' barreling through that shit, chapter by chapter. And what I do, is I just record Violent J talkin', and then I add, you know, I mix it, and I add sound effects and cool shit like that, uh, behind it. But yeah, really, it's like Violent J just talkin' straight to you, and that- and that's what we're workin' on daily here. As far as Young Wicked, uh, I just shot a music video. Um, that's gonna be comin' out really soon. I'm not gonna tell you all the name of that. I'm just gonna let it drop, but you're gonna fuckin' uh like it, I hope. And uh, that's, that, we made that, shot that yesterday, and that was the shit. And I got a couple other Young Wicked projects comin', but honestly, man, the level of secrecy surroundin' the Young Wicked stuff is pretty high, so I am not gonna fuckin' reveal any of that until we, uh, got the right time. People are like, "Fuck that shit!"
Good to go, brother, yeah, you can't, can't [?] too much out.
You might hear an instrumental album from me. You might not.
You never know, you know? You never know what to expect. Great, great. And lastly, I gotta ask, got any shout-outs you wanna give out, man? Brother, here's the time.
Yeah, man, I wanna shout out to Juggalos, you know what I'm saying? Whoop whoop to the family. I wanna shout out Violent J for making me a part of all this, you know what I'm saying, shout out Shaggy 2 Dope, those are my brothers. Shout out my brother Bonez Dubb, shout out all my real brothers out there, and sisters, you know. And to all the sick kids, uh, you know, we're prayin' for you, we're workin' for you, and we're gonna make a fuckin' difference, in this world, in the Juggalo world, and- and that's how it's gonna be, man, like it or not. Yay yay.
Couldn't have said it better myself, wicked one. Okay, that wraps it up, Juggalos. Hope you liked it. Whoop whoop.
