Dame Grease talks about working with Bad Boy first before doing the incredible song with the dope video “Get At Me Dog” for DMX. He met him in 95 through the Lox. X came with books of raps to Ruff Ryders studios where he came to spit beats for Dame. Dame was soo impressed that he asked him to re rap the verses to his beats and that’s when he knew he had something special. He was there when X got to audition for Lyor Cohen and it was his beats that he was rapping too. A lot of these stories Dame was not mentioned so it’s great to see him uncover these stories. 

He was born in the project of Bronx in High Bridge, the same place as Cardi B. and A. Boogie. He did records on Lox albums and Puff albums under Ruff Ryders management. When X 2nd album started coming the phone calls started slowing up and labels were telling him that he wasn’t making beats anymore which was a lie. This is when he started to realize it was time to be a an individual producer with no affiliations. Jay-Z also wanted to work with Dame Grease but his phone calls got rerouted. He did get to do the Big Spender record that had Freeway on it. He started to feel blackballed. His relationship with DMX was always intact so when X had a project going on like a movie score, Dame was always a part of it. When the …..And Then It Was X album came around, him and X was back rolling with the records.

He talks about Jay-Z saying he’s not going to be responsible for Beanie'w wheres about when he was in court. Beans really felt like being signed to Rocafella that they really had him. He talks about his “leisure pleasure” of getting high off lean and how it originated in the streets of Philly where they would drink it raw. There’s a difference between family and relatives and when you’re on a mission everybody can’t go. Years later he talks about the mistakes he made and how he saw Jay-Z being on a mission and how he started separating himself from the rest of Rocafella.

Being an immigrant from Trinidad and bouncing around from Florida, Canada, South Carolina, New York and Atlanta, he always knew he had star power and being a person of fashion and working in boutique clothes and sneakers stores, he would meet people from all walks of life while he was working on his music. It was never about music for him, it was more about survival. When “All Gold Everything” popped it really blew up and when the video dropped it really turned the music industry up! There was some controversy of his comparison look to Jerome from Martin which became like a gift and a curse when the media got ahold of it. The record got even bigger when T.I., Jeezy and 2 Chainz jumped on a remix which didn’t feature Trinidad James because in all honesty he never wanted to do it because he felt like the Atlanta OG’s were just riding his wave. Prior to that he had a lil rift with Tip and it just never rubbed him the right way. 

Def Jam never followed up with adding more marketing and promotion to his deal and records weren’t getting cleared so he knew he exit off the label was evident and he requested it. It took them 2 years to make that happen. On top of that the moment he tried to stand up for NY music artist for not getting played on New York radio got took out of context and people started to try to attack him. As the years passed on he kept his name out there by dropping records, doing features, writing and producing records for people all while producing shows with Revolt TV and Complex.
