The Other Guys // Joe & Insanate’s Excellent LP

The Other Guys kick it old school and that’s good enough for me. They take an old format and make it fresh again, imbuing each track with creativity and stellar production.  I caught up the dynamic duo Mighty Joe and Gnormen Insanate Baites of TOG to talk about the new release Joe & Insanate’s Excellent LP.

DD. First of all congrats on the new album. I’ve listened to it and of course I love it. Like the previous album The Geeks Shall Inherit The Earth it is filled to the brim with good music, and it all harkens back to the heyday of Hip Hop. But this isn’t just old school rap, it is also the perfection of an art form.

DD: With the new album was there a different objective when approaching the latest LP?

TOG:  We tried to make sure that we took into account the songs people really liked. Other than that, we created music like we always do and simply tried to perfect our craft.

DD: Any favorite tracks?

TOG: We’re sure other artists have said it before but we really don’t have a favorite track. Asking us to pick our favorite track is like asking a parent to pick their favorite child. We love all of them equally but for different reasons.

DD: When you wake up in the morning, what is the first sound you want to hear?

TOG: We want to wake up to the sound of someone saying “The new album is doing even better than the last album fellas”. If we can get to that point we’d both be even happier guys.

DD: If the new album could be a color what color would it be?

TOG: It would be black cause black consists of all colors and we’d like to think the album represents  every color and not just one.

DD: Any live sets scheduled for the summer?

TOG: No lives shows scheduled at the moment but its early and we’re looking forward to everything the summer has to offer.

DD: Thanks so much. The best of the best and much success for Joe & Insanate’s Excellent LP. Peace.
