Fresh off his laptop.
Says him:
this is the first joint ive ever put out without an MC on it. i made this on a flight between denmark and beirut about an hour ago. very Donuts Era Dilla-inspired. i love how in his later days he made the sample talk to the listener. the beat doesnt stay the same for more than 2 bars. this particular joint u can relate to a hiphop, a friend or a relationship. i might even do an instrumental album. enjoy.

Says Sumit of The Hip-Hop Chronicle UK:
I caught up with Steve Rifkind during his stay in London.
Firstly I got him to break down the Duck Seazon lyrics where RZA says “Stev Rifkind must be sniffin”.
We then get onto speaking about Steve’s first encounters with artists.
He explains how Havoc lit up a blunt and caused a fire alarm during their first meet.
Steve talks about the first time he met Melanie Fiona and thought her manager was “breath-takingly beautiful”.
Dame Dash as a 16 year old was a “cocky ************”. He came into Steve’s office shouting and screaming with his cousin.
Then Steve tells me two stories about how he threw a chair out of the window and was escorted out of the building in handcuffs over a Wu Tang record and how he almost had a fight with a label President because they wouldn’t sign Jay-Z.

I didn’t realize this was out, I’m gonna have to check it out. The documentary features never before seen footage of the artist from the 2 years prior to his untimely death.

Just spotted this over at Shake&Meka’s, and apparently it’s official. Even if it wasn’t, it’d be a nice video though. How could this have been languishing on Youtube since last Summer?
