On Philadelphia: "I grew up in Baltimore in an environment where you're supposed to be doing more than one thing good, not just one thing good. And Philly seems to be like that. And it's a little larger, a bit more cultural than Baltimore so I think kids are much more comfortable here. Philly has a long musical history. You can trace hip-hop artists back 20 years and on the soul level there's a legion of musicians. You were aware of people growing up—Schooly D, Steady P, those guys. A lot of the people I've met from Philly, the whole Hollertronix thing, brought fun back into a lot of shit. Baltimore can be a little bit too hard and New York can be a little too snotty, but Philly is right in the middle."
Lacrate's Baltimore Club Crack, which features the new sound of Baltimore club music slowed down to hip-hop tempo, will be released soon. He sells apparel at www.digitalgravel.com.
