That pretty much sums it up.
Vintage Dope is...

Ryan Fresh
This group/project took a long minute to really find it's sound/concept. Ultimately, you can say it's genesis came from Ryan Fresh suggesting that I spit over the Kreyshawn "Gucci" beat. When he first suggested that, I thought he was crazy. I wasn't going to mess with that beat. The song is wack, I don't care if it's the ish hipsters, hipster rappers or kids were diggin'. Ryan then said, "Naw... just flip it on some cratediggin' steeze. That was the "AH-HA" moment. Now, that wasn't the moment that the scope of the project really materialized because it wasn't. Months would go by as we were trying to figure out what we wanted to do, our sound etc.
We wanted to have something that sounded different than the "Dawhud" tracks because if there's really no difference between the group stuff and the solo stuff, what are you bringing to the table? (so to speak) The concept of gangster cratediggin' started to evolve and we started developing it. What if all the classic west coast gangsta rappers we listened to were also talking about their record collections? The answer was Vintage Dope.
It's been a hard project to explain to the people and artists I've talked to, but the moment I've let them hear the music, they all have the same "AH-HA" moment I had when Ryan hipped me. So... get hip, check it and get ready for more Stone Cold Cratebangin' ISH!!!
And you can't forget the REMIX homie!!!
