Cage knew he had something special with his new album Hell’s Winter. He knew he’d advanced beyond his psychotic drug-fiend shock-value persona and had crafted a powerful, direct, three-dimensional work, dealing with his history of child abuse and drug addiction without sacrificing the vicious, deranged edge in his voice. He knew he’d assembled a great collection of warped, heavy, woozy, spacey beats from the some of the best producers in indie-rap: El-P, DJ Shadow, RJD2, Blockhead. He knew his album was a tense, damaged masterwork, maybe the fullest realization of the Def Jux aesthetic yet. But he knew he was missing something. And what he was missing was a manic, way-overdone George W. Bush impression from former Dead Kennedys frontman Jello Biafra. Of course. Status Ain’t Hood spoke with Cage about his collaboration with Biafra on the track “Grand Ol Party Crash.”
[Make sure to check out the sample of “Grand Old Party Crash”, It’s wicked. We’ll try and do a full review soon. -LSD]
