Unpublished Trem Interview (circa 2008)
Remember Method Man’s Wu-Tang/Voltron analogy from 36 Chambers? Apply that to Lyrical Commission and Trem, not the GZA, would form the head. Progressing from painting back in the day to a vicious verbal threat on the mic he released some sought after 12’s before pulling together LC and slapping the scene upside the head. On top of that he helped found Unkut Recordings and has become one of the most talented and respected producers in the game, banging out some more pure heat for Strut’s new LP. Back in early 2008 when Strut dropped “Legend: Official” we got Trem to step out of the studio for a yak on beats, Brad and picking up the pen again.
We know yourself and Brad are really tight-knit. Now while recording Legend Official he went through a lot of bullshit and strife. Was it ever difficult making music together under the circumstances?
No never. When it comes to recording with Brad it’s fairly seamless. We’ve obviously worked together for a long time and I prefer to work with Brad than probably anybody else in the studio. It’s a breeze man. I get a lot out of working with him and I think he does with me. When you look at it from that perspective it doesn’t matter what sort of gets thrown at us. Once we hit the studio together it’s all sweet. None of that gets in the way of the job getting done. Regardless of what we’ve got on in our personal lives or whatever, as soon as we hit the studio together none of that shit is intrusive or fucks up the connection or the link that we’ve got going on in the studio, so it’s all good. If anything it might contribute to a better product at the end of the day. I love working with that dude, he’s my brother and no matter if we’ve got testing times outside of that anyway as soon as we sort of get in the studio there’s a cohesion there that’s really good.
