Phantasm (Cella Dwellas) - Southern Vangard Radio Interview Sessions

BANG! @southernvangard #radio presents the “PHANTASM of the #CELLADWELLAS interview session! This Flatbush, Brooklyn native has been putting it down for many years, and has some great stories and perspectives as a result. We kick off with a great chat about the hat/clothing company he recently launched with his son, #SoFlyGlobal, and then get into the early days of coming up in Flatbush and how he caught the hip-hop bug. Seeing cats on the block like #SpecialEd, #Rampage and #BustaRhymes start making noise in the late 80s and early 90s put the battery in Phantasm’s back to do his own thing. We talk early days of shopping demos to #WildPitch, how he and #UG formed the Cella Dwellas and landed at Loud during the label’s hey day in the mid-late 90s, and how they helped bring #LordHaveMercy to #Flipmode! We also have a dope discussion on long-time producer-in-crime #NickWiz and the gem they dropped on the Soul In The Hole soundtrack, “Main Aim.” Phantasm gets into their self imposed break from the music industry in the early 2000s, leaving Brooklyn to head down South a few years ago and how he and UG have continued to keep the Cella Dwellas legacy alive all the way into 2015 - including recent shows in #Bogota #Columbia!
