 ██▓    producing for other artists, heÆs putting the finishing touches     ▓██
 ██▓    on his own independent album, ôBonified Platinum Hard.ö             ▓██
 ██▓                                                                        ▓██
 ██▓    Along with his partner D. ôDawgmanö Spencer, White Dawg and the     ▓██
 ██▓    rest of the Clientell family have damn near held a monopoly on      ▓██
 ██▓    Central FloridaÆs Dirty South scene for more than a decade. HeÆs    ▓██
 ██▓    a firm believer in the theory that what goes up must come down,     ▓██
 ██▓    and the longer it takes to get to the top, the longer you stay      ▓██
 ██▓    there. Back in 1998, his independently released single              ▓██
 ██▓    ôRestlessö reached #18 on the Billboard Rap Singles chart. His      ▓██
 ██▓    next major single, the self-produced banger ôPop A Pill,ö has       ▓██
 ██▓    been bubbling on the underground circuit for more than two          ▓██
 ██▓    years, and it looks like itÆs finally ready to blow. ôPop A         ▓██
 ██▓    Pillö is in the Top 10 on two influential Tampa radio stations,     ▓██
 ██▓    and has steadily been gaining spins in Orlando, Gainesville, Ft.    ▓██
 ██▓    Myers, Jacksonville, and Tallahassee. White Dawg also holds down    ▓██
 ██▓    a popular show on ClientellÆs pirate radio station and co-owns      ▓██
 ██▓    an internet-based radio station, www.DirtySouthUnion.com. As a      ▓██
 ██▓    producer, his resume boasts names like Trick Daddy, David           ▓██
 ██▓    Banner, Pastor Troy, Trina, Guru of GangStarr, Grandaddy Souf,      ▓██
 ██▓    Duece Poppi, Rick Ross, Camoflauge, Thrill da Playa, Skull          ▓██
 ██▓    Duggery, and Chubby Relle.                                          ▓██
 ██▓                                                                        ▓██
 ██▓    What do you see as the biggest problem with the music industry      ▓██
 ██▓    right now?                                                          ▓██
 ██▓    Bootlegging over the internet has changed the game so much that     ▓██
 ██▓    these major labels are just hurting. The last few years theyÆve     ▓██
 ██▓    lost like 5, 10, 15 percent of their sales every year. ItÆs         ▓██
 ██▓    gonna be hard to lose that kind of money and still be able to       ▓██
 ██▓    function, or at least put out the same amount of records that       ▓██
 ██▓    theyÆve been putting out. But, independently, itÆs always gonna     ▓██
 ██▓    come back to the same thing û you need distribution.                ▓██
 ██▓                                                                        ▓██
 ██▓    What was the first album you released?                              ▓██
 ██▓    I had an album out in Æ96 that was a demo album, we put out like    ▓██
 ██▓    2,000 copies in the streets. Then in Æ99 I did the ôThug Rideö      ▓██
 ██▓    album with Paperchase Records in Miami, I had a single on there     ▓██
 ██▓    that hit #18 on the Billboard charts, ôRestless.ö                   ▓██
 ██▓                                                                        ▓██
 ██▓    What happened to the label?                                         ▓██
 ██▓    TheyÆre not in business any more. TheyÆre good people, but they     ▓██
 ██▓    were new to the business and it takes a long time to figure it      ▓██
 ██▓    out. You gotta learn from the mistakes and come back again and      ▓██
 ██▓    again and again. A lot of people fail once, and thatÆs as far as    ▓██
 ██▓    it goes. Your mistakes are what make you. You gotta make every      ▓██
 ██▓    mistake possible, learn from it, and not make them again. IÆm       ▓██
 ██▓    just trying to make sure we donÆt make the same mistakes twice.     ▓██
 ██▓                                                                        ▓██
 ██▓    What mistakes did you make the first time?                          ▓██
 ██▓    I wanted everything too fast. You want it right then, right         ▓██
 ██▓    there, right now, and things just donÆt happen like that. You       ▓██
 ██▓    gotta pay your dues and take your time. I burned a lot of           ▓██
 ██▓    bridges with DJs because they didnÆt play my record as fast as I    ▓██
 ██▓    wanted them to, or as much as I thought they could. I burned a      ▓██
 ██▓    lot of bridges but I learned a lot from that shit too. Now that     ▓██
 ██▓    IÆm on the other side as a DJ, record labels come to me all the     ▓██
 ██▓    time so I understand it more. I learned patience.                   ▓██
 ██▓                                                                        ▓██
 ██▓    How did you hook up with Dawgman?                                   ▓██
 ██▓    Through my boys Pupp and Raylo from Palm Beach. He was looking      ▓██
 ██▓    for some tracks for a compilation and I sent him a beat CD. They    ▓██
 ██▓    wanted a bunch of different tracks, so I came up and did the        ▓██
 ██▓    compilation with them. The vibe was good in this area, it was a     ▓██
 ██▓    little different than Miami. Me and Dawgman got to talking, he      ▓██
 ██▓    was like, ôWhy donÆt you come on up, and letÆs do this music        ▓██
 ██▓    thing.ö He looked like he was heading the same direction I was      ▓██
 ██▓    trying to head, so we linked up like that. I packed up              ▓██
 ██▓    everything and moved up here.                                       ▓██
 ██▓                                                                        ▓██
 ██▓    As an independent artist, do you think Orlando is a better place    ▓██
 ██▓    to break out than Miami?                                            ▓██
 ██▓    I wonÆt say itÆs better, it was just better for me at that time.    ▓██
 ██▓    I needed a change of scenery, a new environment. I was kind of      ▓██
 ██▓    burned out and needed a new start. If I was from Orlando IÆd        ▓██
 ██▓    probably say Miami is better, cause the grass always looks          ▓██
 ██▓    greener on the other side. By the time I came up to Orlando I       ▓██
 ██▓    had already learned not to make the same mistakes I had made in     ▓██
 ██▓    Miami. I was able to get out there a lot quicker cause I had        ▓██
 ██▓    learned from my mistakes.                                           ▓██
 ██▓                                                                        ▓██
 ██▓    After moving in 2000, when did you release ôAnimosityö?             ▓██
 ██▓    It actually came out in 2001, but we didnÆt really have any         ▓██
 ██▓    distribution. We were just doing mom and pop stores and selling     ▓██
 ██▓    out of the trunk. We werenÆt really trying to go major with it,     ▓██
 ██▓    just build that street buzz. We sold about 5,000 out of the         ▓██
 ██▓    trunk. That had the original version of ôPop A Pillö on it.         ▓██
 ██▓                                                                        ▓██
 ██▓    What kind of offers have you had from major labels?                 ▓██
 ██▓    I wonÆt say any names, but weÆve had a couple come down here        ▓██
 ██▓    already and offer money, cars, all that shit, but it just wasnÆt    ▓██
 ██▓    the kind of money weÆre looking for. For one, we want somebody      ▓██
 ██▓    to really be behind us and focused. A lot of labels will put out    ▓██
 ██▓    the wrong single, or donÆt push it the way theyÆre supposed to.     ▓██
 ██▓    We donÆt want any problems. We want to make sure that if we go      ▓██
 ██▓    with a major label, weÆre on the same page as them. WeÆve got to    ▓██
 ██▓    communicate to make this a winning situation for both sides.        ▓██
 ██▓                                                                        ▓██
 ██▓    Are you looking for a deal for yourself or for your label?          ▓██
 ██▓    It all depends on the money, really. If the moneyÆs right we can    ▓██
 ██▓    make it work either way. We just formed a company - me, Dawgman,    ▓██
 ██▓    my manager Gilbert, and his brother Alphonso. ItÆs called           ▓██
 ██▓    Gamerunnerz Entertainment. WeÆve got all areas: management,         ▓██
 ██▓    publishing, production, and the studio all in one company. Right    ▓██
 ██▓    now, weÆre really looking for a production agreement so we can      ▓██
 ██▓    put out our own acts. WeÆve got Riskay coming out, she was          ▓██
 ██▓    featured on the ôPop A Pillö remix. Then weÆve got the group        ▓██
 ██▓    Gamerunnerz, which is me, her, and Big Baby from Polk County,       ▓██
 ██▓    whoÆs featured on my new single ôChevy Boyz.ö                       ▓██
 ██▓                                                                        ▓██
 ██▓    What was the first reactions you got to ôPop A Pillö?               ▓██
 ██▓    Because of the content, in the beginning when we walked the         ▓██
 ██▓    record into radio stations the program directors would be like,     ▓██
 ██▓    ôWell, I donÆt know if this is a radio record, blah blah blah.ö     ▓██
 ██▓    So we had to keep getting it hotter and hotter on the streets,      ▓██
 ██▓    and then the mix DJÆs started blazing it. It talks about sex,       ▓██
 ██▓    but it also talks about popping pills and the whole club scene.     ▓██
 ██▓    ItÆs probably the pill issue that was keeping a lot of stations     ▓██
 ██▓    away from it, but now itÆs gotten so hot that they have to play     ▓██
 ██▓    it. That was our whole intent. We knew it would take a minute,      ▓██
 ██▓    with an indie record. A lot of labels push a record for only two    ▓██
 ██▓    or three months, if youÆre a major you can do that because you      ▓██
 ██▓    put so much money behind it that youÆll know right away if itÆs     ▓██
 ██▓    the right record or not. Being an independent, we donÆt have        ▓██
 ██▓    major money or major connections, so the streets is what brought    ▓██
 ██▓    the record to radio.                                                ▓██
 ██▓                                                                        ▓██
 ██▓    The song has been around on the underground for so long, do you     ▓██
 ██▓    think that signing the management agreement with Street Dwellaz     ▓██
 ██▓    is what finally helped the song get radio airplay?                  ▓██
 ██▓    Oh yeah, I think that was one of the main things that did it. Me    ▓██
 ██▓    and Dawgman were handling certain aspects of the game, but there    ▓██
 ██▓    were other things missing. Many people get focused on the music,    ▓██
 ██▓    but even if you have a hot record, it always comes down to the      ▓██
 ██▓    staff behind you. I think that was one of the main things we        ▓██
 ██▓    were missing in the beginning. We didnÆt have the backing.          ▓██
 ██▓    Gilbert and his brother Alphonso of Street Dwellaz have been in     ▓██
 ██▓    the game for a long time, so they know how to work a record.        ▓██
 ██▓    They handled the business aspects, and opened a lot of doors for    ▓██
 ██▓    us. IÆve actually known Alphonso since 1992, he was making          ▓██
 ██▓    records back then. When I came up here he introduced me to          ▓██
 ██▓    Gilbert, so I had met him a couple times when he brought me         ▓██
 ██▓    product from Slip-N-Slide. We started to build a relationship,      ▓██
 ██▓    and he brought up the issue of management. I thought about it,      ▓██
 ██▓    talked to Dawgman, and we thought itÆd be a good situation for      ▓██
 ██▓    everybody. IÆm glad they stuck behind ôPop A Pill.ö In the          ▓██
 ██▓    beginning when there wasnÆt any money on the table, they stuck      ▓██
 ██▓    it out. A manager doesnÆt get paid until an artist gets paid, so    ▓██
 ██▓    they were really gambling. They were spending their time and        ▓██
 ██▓    money, and there wasnÆt any money coming in. We werenÆt even        ▓██
 ██▓    doing shows back then. The last few months, things have really      ▓██
 ██▓    started popping.                                                    ▓██
 ██▓                                                                        ▓██
 ██▓    Will ôPop A Pillö be on your next album?                            ▓██
 ██▓    IÆve already got ôBonified Platinum Hard,ö almost finished, but     ▓██
 ██▓    we didnÆt service the nation yet with ôPop A Pill.ö We focused      ▓██
 ██▓    on certain Florida cities. We didnÆt even touch Miami yet. There    ▓██
 ██▓    were a lot of stations asking for the record and we actually        ▓██
 ██▓    told them to hold off. What we did with ôPop A Pillö is the same    ▓██
 ██▓    thing Khia did with ôMy Neck My Back.ö We started in the same       ▓██
 ██▓    markets they did, and it took off. For the new album, weÆre         ▓██
 ██▓    gonna do another ôPop A Pillö remix, probably with T.I. That        ▓██
 ██▓    record is street, itÆs not a pop record so itÆs not gonna get       ▓██
 ██▓    old easily.                                                         ▓██
 ██▓                                                                        ▓██
 ██▓    What made you come up with the concept of ôPop A Pillö in the       ▓██
 ██▓    first place?                                                        ▓██
 ██▓    Going to these clubs in Orlando, seeing all the ecstacy busts. I    ▓██
 ██▓    know a lot of producers who come in the studio like ôIÆmma get      ▓██
 ██▓    on that X and get on the drum machine.ö                             ▓██
 ██▓                                                                        ▓██
 ██▓    Any final words?                                                    ▓██
