CHAD INTERVYOU

SCOTLANDS OLDEST RAPPUR CATCHES UP WITH THE LEGENDERY UNCLE HURB TO CHAT ABOUT WHAT REALLY MATTERS. THANKS TO MUH MAYNE CHAD FOR THIS SHYIT, SONS!


FIRST AND FARMOST, DRY BACON. REALLY?

ha ha! Indeed i enjoy ma bacon fried and on a crispy roll - with no sauce required. If were talking grilled bacon then it'd have to be the old red sauce on that badboy although grilling bacon should be outlawed.

I REMEMBER THE DAYS OF YOU AND K9 KEV DOIN YA THING ON STAGE. HOW DID THIS COME ABOUT AND WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THE PROJECT YALLS WHERE WORKIN ON?

We were both at the same music course at college about five years ago and decided to do a few collabs and decided to take it further. We had a label interested in putting out our album but they unfortunately folded at the height of the recession. Gutted. We're now in the process of finalising the last few tracks whilst trying to get it out ourselves so hopefully folk will be able to check it in the near future.

IS IT TRUE THAT YOUR IN YOUR 30'S?

Just barely mate, i turn 31 in July, gettin auld Hurb! Reckon im wearing it well though, my paperround was never to rough and Luckily, like bill breaks, i too have my own skincare regime!

NO WAY YOUR IN YOUR 30'S, HANDSOME MUFUCKA! WHATS THE LAST TRACK YOU LISTENED TO WITH JOY?

DJ Format Feat J5- We know something. Its the perfect example of joyous hiphop and makes ye boogie - plus the video is the nutts too. Cant beat break dancing dudes in animal costumes!!!!!


WHAT ABOUT YOUR DONT FLOP EXPERIENCE AT THE FLYING DUCK, IS IT SOMETHING YOUR KEEN TO DO AGAIN TO SHOW MUFUCKAS THE WRATH OF CHAD?

"the wrath of chad" love it! I thouroughly enjoyed the experience and was pleased that so many folk came out to watch. I was disappointed in my performance in the battle but that shit happens. Mr MacKenzie was on his A Game i wasn't - simple. Its an amaisin buzz battling in that environment and it is something im definately doing again, in fact im due to battle Riddlah in August at the next dont flop in edinburgh. Should be a good one!

WHAT WAS THE LAST MOVIE YOU WATCHED.

i dont get the opportunity to watch movies often but the last one i checked was Leaves of Grass with Edward Norton in it. For a movie about a guy growing and selling weed it was pretty dire.



WOULD YOU EVER FEATURE ON THE SHOW GLEE IF THEY CAME RINGIN' ON THE PHONE?

Absolutely. Ive been known to sing a song or two and implement it into my music. Plus, theres loads of pretentious chodes on it and i dont think one more wouldnt hurt would it?

WHAT CAN WE EXPECT TO HEAR AND SEE FROM CHAD IN THE FUTURE?

Im compiling a solo project with the help of Stevie up at scant squad hq, gathering beats arranging collabs and writing for it with a view to releasing in the next couple of months, well thats the plan anyway. Of course the album with K9 Kev as aforementioned will be out soon too. Asides from that just doing more on the battle front.

WHO YOU BACKIN IN THE WORLD CUP SON?

Im not reallly backing anyone as Scotland arent in it but i reckon germany are the side to beat so i can see them taking it quite easily. World cup has been a disappointment so far, hopefully shit gets juicier and rooney gets injured!

THE HURB IS ONE DRUNK LONELY MUFUCKA RIGHT NOW. HOW WELL DO YOU TYPE WHEN YOUVE LOST ALL MEMORY OF WHO YOU BE?

Not as good as yourself obviously hurb, usually i try an stay away from the internet when ive had a drink. If i do, i type stupid shit and miss out a lot of vowels and just awful awful gibberish!


WHAT DOES YOUR WRITTING METHODS CONSIST OF?

i usually write to a beat, unless an idea grabs me then i'll try tailoring the lyrics to a suitable beat. Most times i just source ideas from hearing the music and trying to establish a mood and topic and go from there. A Few cans a lager and a good smoke usually provides the result im after!

JUST HOW GOOD A FREESTYLER IS CHAD THE LAD?

Ummm, you'd have to ask some other folk about that! I reckon i can hold my own and not just spout rubbish when freestyling, i just try not to repeat myself and most importantly try not to stop. Its something that, like most things gets better the longer you do it. Unlike crystal meth!

THE MOVIE 'SCOTTISH HIP HOP EPISODE II: ATTACKING THE CLONES' IS IN PRE-PRODUCTION, SPIELBERGS SET TO DIRECT. WHO SHOULD PLAY YOU?

Good question! I'd say that Jason Statham cat, just to hear his pathetic attempt at a scottish accent fall flat on its arse. If ever there was a movie about the "scene" it would have to be fulla folk with shit scottish accents. Or Russell Crowe could portray me, again for the poor accent attempt but with the added incentive that i think he's a bellend!

WHATS YOUR RECORDING FASILITAHS LIKE?

i dont own a recording setup, usually im up at scant squad HQ weekly laying vocals down and fleshing out some beats. other than that, whoever has a setup that im collaborating with, i'll use that. bit of a freeloader eh?


MCDONALDS OR BURGER KING?

It'd have to be mcdonalds for the burgers and burger king for the fries. cant beat a Micky Dees for breakfast though, the hash browns are immense!

EXCELENT CHYAD!

LADIES AND GENTLERMEN, CHAD THE LAD!
