In other Hip Hop news, DJ Muggs of Cypress Hill recently spoke on his musical influences and revealed that he’s a fan of Dubstep, a genre that he says reminds him of Hip Hop’s early days.
“I first experienced dubstep for the first time about six years ago. It reminded me of Hip Hop,” DJ Muggs explained. “Like the energy, and the rawness of the music, and the rawness of the crowds is what reminded me of Hip Hop in the 80’s. I was like ‘this shit right here is banging.’ It had the same spirit as Hip Hop so I think that’s what drew me to it.”
DJ Muggs is currently working on Bass For Your Face, an album that’s expected to be released later in the year.
“It’s nothing but bass music. So then again anything with bass in it. Combining sounds, combining Middle Eastern sounds with Hip Hop with the dubstep,” said DJ Muggs. “I mean just combining with different things and experimenting. Brining our own sound and our own style.”
