On The Level w/ Dame Dash

I felt everything Dame Dash said in this interview. PAUSE. Fuck wack world. This is a must watch for anybody coming up in this music shit! Yea, I said it.

BlakRoc, DD172, Karate School, Creative Control. These are buzzwords that have been floating through the industry for the past few weeks. These words all have one common denominator, Dame Dash. In the interview with Streetlevel.com, Dame gives insight on everything from the making of BlakRoc, the state of the industry and existence of “Wack World”.
