This week on The Library with Tim Einenkel, we hear the entire interview with OC of DITC and producer Ray West who have created a boutique-style catalogue called Ray’s Cafe. The theme of the album is a smokey jazz cafe in the 1970s where OC is free of all boundaries and limitations. Tim talks to the artists about the importance of Stevie Wonder's Innervisions to the Hip-Hop community, the collaboration process, the important role Ray West's mother played in the creation of this album and why OC "steals" from Slick Rick.
