When we started the band, it was because we were waiting for a sound that never happened. We got tired of waiting, and we decided to just do it ourselves.

We're not, like, on hiatus. We're working. We're very serious about our records, and I know the guys are at home right now writing. Hopefully we are looking at next year for a record.
We learned pretty early on in this band that you can't have snobbery in music.
It's a hip-hop record, but it's a musician-based hip-hop record.
We have people in the band who don't drink or do drugs... some of us like to go sightseeing.
But I obviously wouldn't have done the album unless the other guys gave their blessing.
The Jet video with the cartoons in the forest [is] one of my favorite videos of the last few years, it's just hilarious. So based on that, I know he sets up a good story.
The album comes out November 22 — one-one two-two, so it's easy to remember.
