Everyone has been a dealer and user at some point. I saw that we are all in search of a feeling. He was the user closest to me, Boldy was the dealer closest to me. Ironically, I saw a lot of my father in him, whom Resurget was about. That was my little brother by now and he was going through a lot. The more he did that the more this became about healing, not making a “good” album. At that time I kept asking Boldy to be more personal. He goes, “I can listen to this and not get high that day.” That gave me focus. He sat and listened to the first few songs. This catharsis is what we shared with loved ones with similar symptoms, and we were good with that.Įarly in the process of making what I could now see was going to become an album, my cousin came over. We are not careerists with music, but culturalists documenting the Detroit experiences that we have absorbed from its deepest of trenches, sometimes converting personal trauma into collective catharsis. We created for ourselves solely, and still do. Him and I both were people that did not create music to be in the industry, or for an audience. We recorded the first song Die Young and thought lets keep going. By 2007, I had some in the stash and Boldy asked to rap to them. When I finished Resurget, with all of its wild composition, I was interested in just making some “beats” again. From this point, Boldy was in my basement recording or in the streets.įor the next 5 years or so, he would come and record to beats he brought while I was working on the Resurget Cineribus album. Murf turns to Idol for the green light, one take and 5 minutes later, Boldy had his first song. As the beat was playing, Murf heard his brother’s friend rapping under his breath and asked to hear what he was saying. He also brought along his little brother and his friend who were both about 17, 18 years old. We attributed this to the fact that his attention was divided between the song and the woman he brought along with him. The song was taking longer than usual for Idol to lay. The first order of business was engineering a compilation my boy Murf was producing.
