A Conversation With...Check Other

Submitted by cereal on Thu, 09/11/2008 - 00:41.

The past couple of decades have seen many Houston hip-hop artists make their mark on the national (and sometimes international) level, spreading the chopped and screwed style for which the city has become known. While syrup sippers and Willie D wannabes still abound, there's at least one Bayou City-based group of MCs who consistently deliver intelligent rhymes and attention-grabbing beats. Check Other, a collective of four skilled and driven wordsmiths, refuse to cave to any pressures to dilute their product. Their focus is on delivering meaningful, high-quality hip-hop that speaks to a diverse array of music lovers.

We had the opportunity to sit down with these talented MCs (Tommy Bumps, Sid, Mr. Mention, and Sunny D. Cypher) and learn more about their motivations, their dreams, and their plans for the future. Check out the interview, photos, and a video after the jump
