Gensu Dean On The Art Of Digging [Video]

The Grand Imperial, Gensu Dean, SP1200 producer, analog equipment junkie, and Mello Music producer, recently took a moment out of his NYC travels to talk about “The Art of Digging.” A pure vinyl head, who abides by the Jedi code, Dean still covers labels, doesn’t do e-digging, and explains why in this short video clip. It’s this ethos, combined with hard knock production, that has garnered Gensu production credits and friendships with Large Professor, David Banner, Brand Nubian, Planet Asia, and even a co-sign from the King, DMC of Run DMC. Most recently Gensu Dean produced the entire album for Mississippi emcee 7evenThirty on a record titled “The Problem.”

Its been almost over a year since we released our last “Out Da Box TV” Episode and I am happy to announce that today we will be relaunching the show. We’ll be giving you the same valuable content under a slightly different format. So, to kick off the relaunch officially, our first episode features a group who themselves are actually relaunching as well, comprising of 3 talented artists by the collective name of “Dilated Peoples”. We got a chance to speak with members Evidence and Babu in reference to their upcoming album entitled “Directors Of Photography”. They gave some insightful words about their experiences as a group along with their goals, set out for the music on their new album. “Rakaa Iriscience” the other emcee member of the group, was unable to make the interview, but Ev and Babu held it down for the homie during the time. This interview is a must see for fans of Dilated, especially those anticipating the release of their new album. So take a moment to kick back for 7 mins and check out our special new Out Da Box TV interview with DP. Thank you for supporting us always. Enjoy!
