Fresh off the release of his latest LP The Casket Factory, Blaze Ya Dead Homie is set to embark on a tour of the North Side. But before he departed I was approached with the opportunity of speaking with my favorite UN-dead rapper. Hey man is this Blaze? Yessir Well to start this off it's a new year, you've got a new album, you're working on a new label. What do you have in store for the fans of Blaze ya dead homie? Oh man we've got a bunch of stuff! I even have some new music I've been working on too. Another video set to drop soon as well. Hittin' the road for the Casket Factory tour. Going up to Canada for a couple weeks with my homies in Twiztid. A lot planned. Let us talk about The Casket Factory. Just dropped on the 15th [of January] so far I have heard nothing but praise. I've got a few favorites off of it. Immediately hooking me there is "Ghost" ft. Kung Fu Vampire and "Who You Lookin' For" with Boondox. Even ABK is on a track. Of course The r.o.c. I mean... it seems to be pretty stacked. That's whats up you know. I'm just trying to run with family and a lot of friends. Everyone who did something on this album definitely brought their own something to it. It rocked. I enjoyed working with everyone on it. Did it bring back any nostalgia working with your Psychopathic family? Oh for sure! We never had problems really. Me and Killa always been working and passing tracks. Since 'Dox first record with Psychopathic I've been doin' stuff with him. Never been beefin'. This time we did something new. Last album I did it with just a few people. kept it really short and simple. this time i tried to branch out and bring back some people. I noticed that you feature this new cat Lex the Hex Master on a song. Both of you share the same label as well. What did you think of bringing him onto the album? Oh man it was cool. He's a good dude. Cool ass ninja. He brings his own style, an East coast style. It was pretty fun. Do you have any personal favorite tracks on casket factory? Wow it's tough.. this is like probably the album I've listened to the most. I like a lot of music I've done. But this is the first copy of my CD that I bought! I really like "The Way U Look B4 U Die" and "ETERNAL " is the shit. A lot of cool tracks on there it makes it a tough choice. "2 Middle Fingers," a lot of cool shit "Ratchet," "Ghost." It was tough to give out these tracks too [as singles] because they kind of determine how the actual album will sound like. I really enjoy the song "Who U Lookin 4" with Boondox. That hook just gets my head bobbin every time man I really love it. then taking that into "UNBREAKBLE" keeps the CD running. I believe it was mixed properly. I'd love to compliment you on that flow. Hell yeah man, that's what's up . We had a lot of fun putting it together. We took it back. Had fun in the studio. Back to the days before psychopathic to the days during psychopathic. When we started making this record we just kind of went back to them times. We were cracking our heads together, bouncing ideas off each other, getting some beats on, started writing and that's what it was. We had a lot of fun gettin' high and makin' tracks. Is there a concept on this album? I mean... the clear concept here is: This is the casket factory... Come on in. Everybody's gonna be somewhere but there not at the end of the life. Whether you're gonna be visiting a spot where you're going to be burnt up or not. Or if you're going to be resting somewhere forever. There's always a final resting place... and this was mine. This is it... the casket factory. Where everybody's coming to rest. I remember you used to host The Coffin back on WFukoff. Yessir With the recent relaunch of Psychopathic Radio and Twiztid coming back to do Ashtrays and Action Figures as well as Wolfpac doing Variety Hour will there ever be a revival of the coffin ? Well I kind of moved it to Youtube. I started doing coffin updates and coffin breaks just there. It was kind of a place where I would take to rants. When I started doing the radio show and Twiztid started doing there radio show we kind of talked about it. We were kind of gonna do Ashtrays and Action Figures like how we used to do it where I'd come in there and kind of just roll with them. I haven't really talked about doing my own radio show yet. I've moved my show so far over though that if it comes back it will be a whole different show. I don't see it being The Coffin again but it will definitely be something else.
