Milwaukee Buck Interview 2006

For the people that don't know who you are or what a sound engineer actually does could you tell us a bit about yourself and what you do?

I am the person who records an artist singing or rapping along with the track (the music or beat of the song). When I'm done recording an artist, I mix the song so that it sounds good on the radio. I'm also a producer so I create the music or beats for songs.

What made you want to become a sound engineer and then after that become the head engineer for Murder Inc?

I've always loved music. Since I was little, I was rapping and dancing in the Bronx. But it wasn't until I was a senior in high school that I learned about sound engineering. My school counselor suggested it to me because she knew I was great at math and loved music. But I still had a dream of becoming a doctor, so I decided to pursue college first. I went to college for 3 years and realized it wasn't for me. Then I went to the Institute of Audio Research in Manhattan and I've been a sound engineer ever since. As a freelancer, I worked with many well-known artists, but while working with Ja Rule, we had a cool relationship and that's when they asked me to become Murder Inc's or The Inc's head engineer.

You have recently begun producing do you have plans to produce on any up and coming Inc/Mpire releases ?

I definitely do. I've been working a lot with Harry-O, Iceberg Slim an up and coming rapper who is going to bring that Bronx sound back to the game. A lot is in the works right now.

Do you have any plans to ghost write more since you co-wrote Ja's "Exodus Outro" ?

I didn’t write anything on that track. He named the album “Exodus” and then I went in and created the track

What would be the favourite track(s) you've had the pleasure to record over the years ?

Foolish, Thug Lovin’ - Bobby Brown a legend.

What is your favourite memory from being in the studio with fellow members of Murder Inc over the years ?

I don't have a specific favorite moment, but overall, it's been the best experience of my career. I've learned so much while working with there and I've had a lot of fun doing it.

Out off all the artists you have worked with over the years who is the most fun to work with ?

I have to say Ja Rule. He's the coolest dude. Really laid back, but his work ethic is gangsta.

Who would be your favourite artist you have worked with outside of The Inc/Mpire Roster ?

Bobby Brown definitely. Im a New Edition fan

There's been alot of unreleased albums from the inc, including Caddy's Pov City Hustler and also a joint venture with Caddy and Black, What is your opinion on these recordings? and why do u feel they never got a chance to get released?

Those albums were hot. Unfortunately, this music biz is all about timing. And it just wasn't the right time to release those albums. But both Caddy and Black are in the studio grindin' so you'll definitely hear from them in the future.

Do you have plans to work with other artists outside of The Inc ?

Definitely. I'm working with a lot of up and coming artists right now that you'll hear about soon. Otherwise, I'm just working to step my game up so that I'm always ready to work with the best in the music game.

Finally Buck I would like to thank you for taking time out to answer some questions do you have any message for The Inc fans and our members at www.murderinc-online.com?

Thanks for the interview. I love all the Inc fans out there. Keep on supporting the movement. And if you need hot beats, holla!!!!
