BANG! @southernvangard #radio presents #DrButcher #interview #session !! We’re talking about a Queens LEGEND here folks. LEGEND. When you layout the timeline of Queen’s hip-hop, this man is found at damn near the beginning. Given most of know Butcher as a phenomenal DJ/producer. we kick off the session discussing the influence of early hip-hop DJ’s like DJ Earthquake, DJ Polo (of Kool G Rap fame) and his crew The Spinmasters, as well as The Disco Twins. However, Butcher’s initial craft was rhyming - including an early group he formed with LL Cool J called The Extravagant Three, battling his way through Queens alongside Kool G Rap during his teenage years and the influence of Silver Fox on a young LL, G Rap and others. Say what?!? We eventually get into Butcher’s DJ/producer years and talk about his affiliation with the X-Men/X-ecutioners and helping a young Rob Swift train, his close relationships with production monsters Paul C and Large Pro, producing monumental soundscapes for Kool G Rap & Akinyele in the early to mid-90s and his soon-come producer LP that is around the corner.
