Flipsyde Magazine Interviews

Interview with DubCNN

Dubcnn.com: About six weeks ago you dropped the album We The People in Europe. In The States it’s dropping on the 12th of this month. Why did it drop over here first? Usually it’s the other way around.

Piper: It usually is, but we started the fire over here first on a mass level back in February with Snoop and The Game on that major tour. Then we came back with the Black Eyed Peas, we did some rock festivals after that. Since we’re coming back with The Game again we decided to drop it out here first.

The fire started for us in hour hometown back in The States and this movement around America is blazing here and there. We started here on a mass level first, so that’s why we dropped it here.

Dubcnn.com: Can you describe the title of the album We The People? Why did you choose that name?

Piper: Because we are the people, we’re a visual representation of the people. I’m a black male from Oakland, California. Steve is a white male from Alabama. Dave is a Chilean. We grew up in The States, so in a way we symbolically represent the people of America, which is a mixture.

We were told a lot by fans, when we come off the stage: “your music makes me feel like I’m up there singing. It’s like you’re singing about my life, you’re rapping about my life.” We rap for the people. Those are basically the two major reasons we chose We The People as the title.
