First of all I want to thank yall for taking the time to do this interview.

Razah: NO PROBLEM I ALWAYS GOT TIME FOR MY LISTENERS

For those out there who aren’t too familiar with Hell Razah, can you briefly run through your history and how you started in the Hip-Hop game?

Razah: MY FIRST GROUP I CAME FROM WAS WITH 7TH AMBASSADOR CALLED DA LAST FUTURE WE HAD A SINGLE PRESSED UP WITH SUPREME INDEPENDENT CALLED LIVIN IN HELL B/ MENTAL KOMBAT AND WAS A CREW CALLED M.A.D. M.O.B. WHICH SHABAZZ WAS IN TOO FROM RED HOOK PROJECTS AFTER THAT THEN WE BECAME PART OF SUNZ OF MAN AND THAT ORIGINALLY WAS SHABAZZ, KILLAH, PRIEST, PRODIGAL SUNN, 60 SEC ASSASASIN AND 7TH AMBASSADOR SHABAZZ WAS A SOLO ARTIST AND SO WAS KILLAH PRIEST THEY WAS A GONNA BE A GROUP CALLED D.O.A. AND PRODIGAL HAD A PARTNER TOO AND 60 WAS REALLY BROOKLYN ZU WITH O.D.B. R.I.P. WE WAS IN THE STUDIO RECORDING SONGS ACTUALLY FOR ATLANTIC RECORDS WHICH WAS ON THAT ELEMENTS ALBUM. THAT ALBUM EXPLAINS THE BIRTH OF SUNZ OF MAN

As a MC in the group Sunz of Man, what was your experience like coming into the industry and being in the first group to sign to Wu-Tang Records?

Razah: FIRST COMING IN IT WAS ALL ABOUT JUST MAKING MUSIC AND FEELING GOOD ABOUT IT THAT WAS A BIG DEAL TO BE IN THE STUDIO PERIOD IT WAS SO MUCH TO LEARN FROM THEN ON TO NOW I WAS REAL YOUNG THEN AND WAS LIKE A SPONGE SOAKING UP EVERYTHING I CAN CAUSE IT WAS ALL NEW TO ME. WHEN WE FIRST GOT SIGNED WE DIDNT CARE ABOUT FAME WE WAS WRITING AND SHARPENING OUR SKILLS EVERYDAY WAS A CYPHER OR BUILDING. WE HAD TO UPHOLD THE FACT OF WHY WU-TANG SIGNED US AND NOT BE CORNY. WE HAD OUR OWN STYLE ALWAYS AROUND WU THATS WHAT MADE US DOPE WE HAD A WHOLE DIFFERENT STYLE THAT WAS FUTURISTIC BACK THEN.

The first music video for The Last Shall Be First was (LINK: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GdlaRI-n3E) Shining Star featuring Ol’ Dirty Bastard and Earth, Wind & Fire. How did that collaboration come together?

Razah: WELL FIRST ME N PRIEST HAD DID THE ORIGINAL VERSION TO A RZA BEAT THAT WAS CRAZY SINGING THE HOOK OURSELVES THEN LATER THE LABEL WANTED THE WHOLE GROUP ON THE SONG AND A WU MEMBER ON IT AND WE HAD JUST MET WYCLEF N LAURYN HILL AND WE SAID LETS HIT UP WYCLEF TO PRODUCE IT AND ASKED DIRTY TO GET ON IT WITH US AND CATHY JONES FROM THE LABEL KNEW E.W.F. AND SAID SHE CAN REALLY GET THEM ON THE SONG BUT THEY DONT LIKE RAP BUT OUR LYRICS WAS DIFFERENT WE WAS LIKE A RAP VERSION OF E.W.F. THEY LISTENED TO US AND THEY GAVE US THE OK. WHAT WAS CRAZY WAS ODB DID GHETTO SUPERSTAR IN THE NEXT ROOM THAT DAY WIT MYA AND PRAZ WHICH CAME OUT THE SAME TIME AS OUR SONG CAME OUT AND KINDA OVERSHADOWED OUR SONG. ITS VIDEO FOOTAGE OF THEM REALLY TALKIN BOUT US WORKING TOGETHER AND ALL THAT CAUSE WE JUST MADE HISTORY NOBODY NEVER RECORDED ESPECIALLY IN HIP HOP WITH E.W.F. SO WE MADE HISTORY ALONE BY DOING THAT RECORD. NO ONE CAME IN THE DOOR LIKE THAT BUT US.

As a solo artist you’ve released albums including When All Hell Breaks Loose, Freedom of Speech, Renaissance Child, & Razah’s Ladder. Do you have a favorite solo album of yours so far?

Razah: SO FAR I SAY ALL OF THEM . HELL BREAKS LOOSE WAS SONGS THAT I WAS RECORDING FOR MY SOLO RECORD I WAS NEXT TO COME OUT AFTER SUNZ OF MAN ALBUM AND KILLAH PRIESTS HEAVY MENTAL WE WAS ALL GONNA DROP RECORDS BUT I WAS NEXT. THEN RED ANT WENT BANKRUPT IN THE MIDDLE OF OUR CAREER JUST GETTING STARTED. SO I FIGURED PUT IT OUT INDEPENDENTLY TILL I GET ANOTHER DEAL I HAD OFFERS FROM RAZOR SHARP AND GZA’S LIQUID SWORDS ENT BUT IT NEVER MANIFESTED SO I WENT UNDERGROUND WITH IT AND DID ALOT OF FEATURES TO BUILD MY NAME UP NOW FREEDOM OF SPEECH WE DID THAT IN 2 DAYS AT 4TH CRIB CAUSE WE ALWAYS HAD A GOOD CHEMISTRY FLOW AND WE DROPPED THAT INDEPENDENTLY TOO BUT THE LABEL BREACH THE CONTRACT ADDED SONGS AND RUINED THE ARTWORK AND WE GOT THE MASTERS BACK AND RERELEASED IT AGAIN OURSELVES WITH NEW ARTWORK. BUT I STILL FELT I DIDNT GET TO PUT OUT A HELL-RAZAH ALBUM AND I WAS STILL BUILDING UP ME INDIVIDUALLY NOT AS A GROUP MEMEBER AND THAT ALBUM HAD NO FEATURES JUST ME N 4TH, BEATS AND RHYMES, LIKE ERIC B N RAKIM. NOW RENIAISSANCE CHILD WAS MY FIRST REAL ALBUM THRU A LABEL AND HAD NU KEMIT WHO WAS INVOLVED WIT MASTA KILLA’S NO SAID DATE AND KILLAH PRIEST;S OFFERING ALBUM BEHIND IT AND WAS WORKING WITH OTHER ARTIST OUTSIDE OF THE WU TANG AND CREATING MY SOUND I WANTED THEN NEXT WAS RAZAH’S LADDER WHICH WAS BSBD DEAL WITH BABYGRANDE THEY WANTED TO COLLAB ON A PROJECT AND WE CREATED A MASTERPIECE RIGHT AFTER I JUST FINISHED RENAISSANCE CHILD AND MY FATHER JUST PASSED SO I WAS IN A ZONE THEN. THATS WHY THAT ALBUM MEANT ALOT TO ME. WHICH LEADS TO WHY IM DOING THIS NEXT ALBUM, ALL MY ALBUMS IS MY FAVORITE CAUSE EACH MEANT SOMETHING DIFFERENT HAPPENING IN MY LIFE AND CAREER AT THE SAME TIME. BUT I THINK THIS HEAVEN-RAZAH ALBUM IS MY BEST ALBUM ITS MY FAVORITE ALBUM ALREADY.

Who were all the members in the Maccabeez? Yall released a project called The Spooks Who Kicked Down the Doorz, will their be an official Maccabeez album?

Razah: MACCABEEZ GO BACK TO ME N PRIEST WE ALWAYS WORKED AND SOUNDED GOOD TOGETHER AND WANTED TO DO A PROJECT OR SOMETHING THAT WAS THE NAME FOR IT. THEN PRIEST LINKED WITH DADDY ROSE AND WAS GONNA DO IT WITH HIM THEN ROSE GOT LOCKED UP AND PRIEST CAME BACK TO ME WANTING TO DO IT AGAIN BUT EVERYTIME WE PLANNED TO DO IT SOME DISTRACTIONS COME TIMBO WAS ALWAYS THERE CAUSE ROYAL FAM AND SUNZ AND ROSE FAM WAS ALWAYS ROLLING SO NOW IT WAS ME TIMBO N PRIEST THEN WE GOT BACK WIT SHABAZZ AND DID A FEW SONGS WIT GODZ WRATH AND HAD THEM SITTING AROUND SO ME N TIMBO SAID LETS PUT OUT A MIXTAPE FOR THE FANS THATS HOW U GOT THAT PREVIEW OF THAT BUT ITS STILL SONGS FOR THAT PROJECT THATS JUST SITTING AROUND TILL THIS DAY.

Your also part of the group Black Market Militia, which included Tragedy Khadafi, Killah Priest, Timbo King, and William Cooper. Do you think their will be a new Black Market project?

Razah: BLACK MARKET WAS REALLY THE TITLE FOR MACCABEEZ THAT ME AND PRIEST HAD CAME UP WIT BUT IT BECAME THE GROUPS NAME AFTER PRIEST N TRAGEDY WAS PLANNING ON DOING A PROJECT TOGETHER SEE WILLIAM COOPER WAS WITH TRAGEDY AND ME N TIMBO WAS ALREADY MACCABEEZ SUNZ AND ROYAL FAM PUT IT TOGETHER YOU GET BLACK MARKET. I HEARD PRIEST N COOPER RECORDED SONGS FOR A PART 2 PLUS IT WAS SOME SONGS LEFT OVER WE DIDNT USE BUT NOBODY HIT ME UP BOUT NO PART 2 AND TRAGEDY IS LOCKED UP SO THATS SOMETHING I CANT ANSWER CAUSE I HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH IT BEING PART 2′S IM WORKING ON HEAVEN-RAZAH AND T.H.U.G. ANGELZ I THINK BLACK MARKET WAS A DOPE PROJECT AND DONT NEED A PART 2 SEE CERTAIN CLASSICS NEED TO BE LEFT ALONE.

You’ve teamed up with Shabazz the Disciple to form the duo T.H.U.G. Angelz. Can you explain the name T.H.U.G. Angelz? Also what can we expect from you and Shabazz in the future?

Razah: THE NAME MEANS ‘THOSE HUMBLED UNDER GOD’ OR ‘THOU HAST UNDERSTOOD GOD’ WHICH ARE THE ANGELZ WHEN YOU UNDERSTAND GOD AND YOUR PURPOSE IN LIFE YOU BECOME A VESSEL FOR ANGELZ TO WORK RIGHTEOUSNESS THIS IS NOT JUST A ALBUM LIKE BLACK MARKET WE REALLY A DUO WE DOING WHAT WE WANTED TO DO FROM DAY 1 WE CAME IN THE GAME TOGETHER AND JUST TAKING IT BACK TO OUR ROOTS AND DOING IT FOR OUR HOOD AND OUTTA LOVE THATS WHY WE STARTED OFF WITH WELCOME TO RED HOOK HOUSES WE WAS ALWAYS FROM BROOKLYN BUT OUR FANS THOUGHT ALL WU TANG IS FROM SHAOLIN NOW THE NEXT ALBUM IS GONNA DEFINE THE ANGELZ SIDE OF THUG ANGELZ THAT WAS THE THUG PART. EXPECT ALOT FROM US WE GOT HEAVEN-RAZAH BOUT TO DROP THEN THUG ANGELZ THEN SHABAZZ FIRST REAL SOLO RECORD AND BUILDING OUR BRAND AND LABEL, WE GOT CLOTHES, NEW GROUPS AND A DOCUMENTARY COMING TOO. SO WE JUST GETTING STARTED BACK UP FROM SCRATCH.

When is your new solo album, Heaven Razah, coming out? Also can you describe the concept behind this album…?

Razah: HEAVEN RAZAH WILL BE DROPPING BY THIS SUMMER I DIDNT WANNA RUSH THIS ALBUM AND THROW OUT ANYTHING. I WANTED TO MAKE A PURE CLASSIC. THE CONCEPT IS SIMPLE THIS IS JUST A MORE MATURE SIDE OF RAZAH THE FATHER, THE HUSBAND THE BUSINESS MAN THE MESSENGER OF GOD NOW PLUS THE CREATIVITY IS STRONG ON THIS ALBUM LYRICALLY AND MUSICALLY ARTWORK AND ALL. I WAS THINKING AS IF I WAS WRITING OR DIRECTING A MOVIE NOT JUST RAPPING THIS IS LIKE THE THEME OR SCORE TO MY LYRICAL MOVIE OF LIFE.

Who are some of the producers you worked with on Heaven Razah LP? Who are the features?

Razah: 4TH DISCIPLE, BRONZE, AYATOLLAH, GODZ WRATH, ALLAH MATH AND A FEW NEW PRODUCERS I BELIEVE IN THAT’S PART OF THE TEAM AND DEV 1 WHO DID RENAISSANCE ON RENAISSANCE CHILD HE BLESSED ME FOR THIS ALBUM. FAR AS FEATURES I DIDN’T WANT THAT TYPE OF VIBE I STUDIED CLASSIC ALBUMS AND THEY DIDNT HAVE A BUNCH OF FEATURES ALL OVER THE ALBUM WHICH MAKES A ARTIST HAVE TO REALLY PROVE HIS SKILL. WHICH WAS MORE OF A CHALLENGE FOR ME. I ONLY WORKED WIT 2 OR 3 PEOPLE ON IT THAT I FELT PLAYED A PART IN THE MOVIE I WAS CREATING.

What’s next for Hell Razah after the new album? What else should people be on the lookout for?

Razah: IM WRITING A MOVIE, WORKING ON A FEW ACTS BUILDING UP OUR BRAND AND LABEL AND GONNA CONCENTRATE MORE ON THE BUSINESS SIDE FOR A WHILE AFTER THESE PROJECTS DROP AND WORK WIT SOME NEW TALENT AND FOCUS ON OUR CLOTHES-LINE, RAZAH CODE 2 DVD, AND TOURING.

Razah: THATS HARD….HHHMMMM I GOTTA SAY TAI CHI AND PLEASURE AND PAIN BUT THAT VERSE ON WAKE UP AND WE MADE IT WAS CRAZY TOO. I GOTTA STICK WITH TAI CHI.

Here are some more questions from your fans:

Razah: ONLY ON CASSETTE THAT WAS SUPPOSE TO BE ON HEAVY MENTAL AND PRIEST NEVER USED IT THAT WAS A CLASSIC TOO IM A DIG THAT UP YA’LL NEED TO HEAR THAT

What is your current relationship with Killah Priest?

Razah: WE SPOKE AFTER THAT LAST INTERVIEW HE DID A FEW TIMES LYING AND TRYING TO SLANDER MY NAME AND MAKE HIS SELF LOOK GOOD BEFORE HIS ALBUM DROPPED BUT I WASNT FEELING THAT WE GO BACK TO FAR TO BE LOOKING LIKE 50 CENT AND GAME WHEN WE DEAL WIT KNOWLEDGE SO I HAD TO CALL HIM PERSONALLY NOT THRU KNOW INTERVIEW OR SONGS SHIT. WE GO BACK TO FAR TO BE LOOKING LIKE THAT. HE NEED TO GET THOSE CULTURE VULTURES AND BLOODSUCKERS AND YES MEN FROM AROUND HIM REGARDLESS IF HE FUCK WIT ME OR NOT. I KEEP A SMALL CIRCLE AND WITH THE SAME FAM SINCE DAY 1. THATS LIKE A BIG BROTHER TO ME REGARDLESS WE GOT LIKE 13 YEARS STRONG IN THIS RAP GAME WE LEARNED ALOT TOGETHER.

WE GO BACK TO FAR TO BE LOOKING LIKE THAT. HE NEED TO GET THOSE CULTURE VULTURES AND BLOODSUCKERS AND YES MEN FROM AROUND HIM REGARDLESS IF HE FUCK WIT ME OR NOT. I KEEP A SMALL CIRCLE AND WITH THE SAME FAM SINCE DAY 1. THATS LIKE A BIG BROTHER TO ME REGARDLESS WE GOT LIKE 13 YEARS STRONG IN THIS RAP GAME WE LEARNED ALOT TOGETHER.
