CZARFACE Interview with 7L and Esoteric

Here's an interview from last year that I conducted with 7L and Esoteric around the time that the CZARFACE project dropped.  It never actually got posted online as I was waiting to hear back from Deck about an interview but he never got back to me.  So, here's the interview with 7L and Eso...

Interview conducted by Pattch82 (pattch82@gmail.com)

Interview Date: March 28th 2013

PATTCH82: How did you guys hook up with Inspectah Deck…?  Was ‘Speaking Real Words’ back in 1999 the first time you had met…?

7L: Yeah that was definitely the first time we met, recording that in Brooklyn in 1999 or so. Our manager at the time worked at Loud Records and Deck was on the roster.

PATTCH82: You then hooked up again for the ‘12th Chamber’ track a few years ago.  Is that when talk of this CZARFACE collaboration started…?

7L: Yeah that’s when the conversations started for sure.
