and during that time, everything they
created sounded like one long song.
I hated that.
What artists do you think choose the
best production?
There’s so many levels to that
question. Right now I would have to say
it’s Kendrick Lamar and Drake (only
when he’s working solely with 40 and
Boi 1da). If you get a chance go listen
to Alina Baraz & Galimatias’ “Urban
Flora EP”. That hands down is one of
the best produced albums ever
recorded.
From JGood to Last Name Good, why the name change?
It was for two reasons to be completely honest. #1 is I got tired of
saying J.Good of Str8OutDaDen on everything I produced. I had to do
so because there are a couple of J.Good’s out there and it was
causing some confusion. #2 when people think of Str8OutDaDen
now they think of the site and that’s cool, but I wanted my production
to stand on its own. What better way to do so than by changing the
name.
From an indie perspective, I think what
Michael Aristotle and Wili Hendrixs are
doing is phenomenal. Mucho and
Fleetwood Fred have excellent chemistry too. And I would be remised if I
didn’t mention J-Coop, Rod McCoy and
DiV. W. Their production choices are
genius.
Who is and will always be your
favorite artist and producer
collaboration?
Okay I have so many. Can I give you
my top five?
1. Snoop and Dr. Dre
2. Outkast and Organized Noize (The
only reason this is not number 1 is
because “Aquemini” is my favorite
album and Outkast & Mr. DJ produced
the majority of the album)
3. Clipse and The Neptunes
4. JAY Z and Just Blaze/Kanye West
5. Missy and Timbaland
“I ASKED SOME PEOPLE CLOSE TO THE CAMP
WHAT THEY THOUGHT AND LAST NAME GOOD
GOT THE MOST VOTES”
I wanted to choose a name that was still close to J.Good and Last Name Good
was one of three names I was toying with. I asked some people close
