Back in May of 2012 I did an interview with you on your amazing album “Backpackramento” what did you learn from that album going forward to projects you’ve released since?

Bush: I learned that you have to keep pushing the album even if its 1-2yrs old or older just because you never know who has not heard it yet.

Something thats old to you maybe brand new to them and you dont wanna miss on gaining a new fan.

You’ve worked with many greats including the Lyrical Jesus Puerto Rican Super Hero Chino XL, how was it going on tour with him last year? I see in one of your pics you reppen the Rebel Army shirt, what was that experience like? What did you learn from him as a Lyricist?

Bush: Touring with Chino XL was one of the best experiences i’ve had thus far as a artist. To even be able to be on the same stage as him as a hypeman was a real eye opener. Working with Team Chino and the Rebel Armz camp was and has been a true blessing in my eyes.

As far as what I learned from him as a lyricist was that its not all about the “punch line”. You can put words together in so many different ways and still get that same wow factor. I also picked up his writing habit because the dude never gets writers block. Period.

Before I get into your new project, tell us about your A.D.I.D.A.S Mixtape with the Sleeprockers?

Bush: I was already working on the A.D.I.D.A.S. (all day I dream about success) mixtape when The Sleeprockers asked me to do a mixtape with them. So I asked if they would sleeprock my project and it turned out to be one of their best mixtapes they have done today.

What was the chemistry like in doing the mixtape with the Sleeprockers? For those that don’t know them, where style did they bring to the project?

Bush: It was great we got to sit with each other and map out what kinda style we wanted to go with. They flipped a lot of the beats on some real turntable ism type of shit.

Do you guys do shows together?

Bush: We have rocked on the same bill a few times and once on the same stage. They put on a show!

Where can we get A.D.I.D.A.S

Bush: You can download it for free at http://Thisizbush.com

What kind of EP are you working on?

Bush: Right now im still gathering beats and coming up with concepts to songs for this EP. Its still untitled and I am working with a Underground legend that I cant name quiet yet but if you can see who I’ve been working with for the past few years you can put 2 and 2 together. I hope its out by the end of the year.

For people who think of Bay music as just mostly hip “Pop” what is the gritty Hip Hop culture like there? Where are some spots people who come to your city should check out?

Bush: Ok ima try to give you the short answer to this haha. No diss to the bay area but Sac don’t consider themselfs as they bay but more the valley. We as a whole are influenced by the hustle as indi artists so we all grind.

If you come to Sac id say check out 2nd Saturdays. It happens every 2nd sat of the month and its on Jst & 15th. Harlows has great live music and Pieces Pizza is always crackin.

For the new E.P what is your concept tone for this project?

Bush: Its goin to be lyrical, bboyish, and a lot of substance. Grown man rap

Why do a EP and not a new album or another mixtape?

Bush: I’ve done my share of mix tapes and my last album I learned a lot from. I just wanna challenge myself a bit more. This will for sure make me a better emcee in my eyes once it’s done.

What is going to be different than all your other releases?

Bush: I’d like to think it will be more personal as well as more conceptual as far as songs go. It will turn heads and get a buzz that’s for sure.

What other features do you have beside the underground legend?

Bush: I’ve worked with Canibus, Mistah FAB, Keith Murray, and Keak Da Sneak so far.

Where can we connect with you? (social links)

Bush: Get at me on http://Thisizbush.com it will have all my social networks as well as my pandora radio station and mix tapes.
