SoHood.com: How was it working with Swizz Beats and Just Blaze?
24K: It was dope working with Swizz and Just Blaze. I picked most of the beats from approximately 300 beat CDs from a number of different producers, but I got to watch Swizz and Just Blaze make beats especially for me. I've developed a great friendship with Swizz and he has a real camp. Real people are hard to find in the industry. Having Mashonda on the album was hot as well. She's a beautiful, extremely talented singer who blessed two tracks on my album, Skully and Peel Off.

SoHood.com: What can the Hip-Hop World expect from your album?
24K: The hip-hop world can expect versatility, dope lyrics, and bangin production. Something totally different. For one, I don't sound like anyone out there I got my own style and I flip my flow depending on what beat I'm rhyming to and overall entertainment. I got club bangers, battle tracks , stories, and topic to I hit you with. This is hip hop we're doin here and too many have lost sight of that. Quotable is dedicated to the hip-hop culture and oh and by the way I write my own rhymes!

SoHood.com: Let's talk about your life, how are things going?
24K: Life is nothing but a box of chocolates, so I take shit as it comes. I'm happy to be done recording the album and I'm ready to get going.

SoHood.com: What are your thoughts on Lil' Kim, cause you got at her on "Chickens Move Out" and "Superheroet"?
24K: Some people have misunderstood and think that I've dedicated a whole track to this chick. She got like a max of 4 bars on a couple of tracks cause when I was writing them she just seemed to fit snug in those tracks. Chickens Move Out speaks for itself and Superheroet is about me saving the world from wack emcees and hoe pop rap so, you know. I just think she's not representing right for women who should be gaining respect for their intelligence and skill rather than for their sexuality.

SoHood.com: What types of music other than Hip-hop, do you listen to?
24K: Reggae my first love which I also write and perform (check A Who Dat's on Quotable). R&B but good R&B like Mary J. Blige, India Irie, Alicia Keys, Jill Scott (love Jill) and Erykah and Ms. Dynamite. I'd really like to work with her. I'm not feeling the Pop Barbie R&B groups and kinda like Drum & Bass. I actually got 2 remixes done by a German Producer, Richard Firch, (Whatcha Sayin' Now and Featha Pluckin' Chickens, a promo track). They're crazy. I got introduced to D&B when I opened a record store with my DJ in 99..

SoHood.com: Do you consider yourself a role model to young little girls? 
24K: Definitely. I have a B.A. in Psychology from one of the top universities in the world, own 2 companies, plan to open a law firm. I have strong rooted home values, and I don't sell my ass like most women in the industry. I think young girls need to be proud of their intelligence, respect their body as their temple, love themselves for who they are and however God has created them however they are shaped or look, and have the inner strength and knowledge of a million men put together. I feel I can rep that for women and only wish the same for our girls. I plan to do a lot for women and children around the world very soon in my life.

SoHood.com: Who's your favorite rapper of all-time?
24K: Redman. (check out That Nigga on Quotable. It's my version of his That Bitch from his last album)

SoHood.com: I heard you're a boxer, If you had one female rapper to get in the ring with, who would it be?
24K:None of them. I'd beat their asses I naturally fight rough but I train like a man! I train with professional male boxers on male standards and training methods. I'd rather fight rap dudes the real street thugs. Unless you got a real street thugstress like me homie!

SoHood.com: What do you think about men wearing pink like Cam'ron?
24K: It's all good. I'd prefer a dude in pink that rocks it well than a dude that can't even rep his own style.

SoHood.com: What are your thoughts on Eminem, 50 Cent, and Busta Rythems gangin' up on Ja Rule?
24K: I think Ja Rule and Lil Kim need to get together and join the circus. She can play his pimp for a change!

SoHood.com: Any last thoughts? 
24K: Cop the album! All the funds will go to the Bring Hip Hop Back to What It's Supposed to Be charity fund for 24K. Peace!
