" Lord Finesse Speaks "

The legendary D.I.T.C. underboss "Lord Finesse" takes time out of his busy schedule to chop it up with Passion Weiss. Com......Don't sleep....

Talking Diggin’ in the Crates: There’s a lot of respect for you guys and what you bring to a project – you’ve often done remixes of whole albums for different artists. What it is it that you think makes a DITC production stand out?

We think outside the lines and we like funk, and we like soul, and we genuinely love great music. We love good music, and when we do what we do we don’t look at it as whether or not its going to rock in the clubs, or if the radio’s gonna play it; we think of good music overall before we go into the realm of what it’s going to do. It has to strike us. We want it – when it comes on, the first five to ten seconds – we want it to be, ‘Damn! What’s that?!’ That’s what makes Diggin’ in the Crates music extraordinary, and people have gotta understand: the greatest thing about living life is freedom of speech, right? Being able to say what you want to say. Music is the same thing, it’s just freedom of expression. You get to express yourself through music. So when you’re doing music, people want to hear your story, so if you’re gonna do somebody else’s story you shouldn’t even be doing music. If somebody gives you chance to tell your story and you tell somebody else’s story, you shouldn’t have that freedom of expression. Freedom of expression is about being different, about being who you are. And that about sums up Diggin’ in the Crates music: it’s who we are, you know?
