Cool & Dre interview
|  | | Cool & Dre | | In the current era of Hip-Hop, where the success of a song is predicated by its beat, producers from all around the world are concocting successful anthems. A 16-year old with an illegal copy of Pro Tools can now be the next Dr. Dre and have his music heard by an A&R the morning after it's produced. Unfortunately, this is both a gift and a curse; more opportunity for newcomers means less opportunity for established veterans.
Despite this current trend, Miami production duo Cool & Dre understand what it takes to still be successful. In addition to the numerous projects they've started since the top of the year, their self-made label, Epidemic Music, just signed a distribution deal and Cool created a sleek and stylish clothing line.
During an interview with DJBooth.net's DJ "Z", Cool & Dre discuss why the music industry is "garbage", how producing music is only a piece to their career puzzle and which multi-platinum selling diva will have their production skills on her new album that drops this fall. Guys, go over the play-by-play for me, for the remainder of 2007. We have about five months left till the new year - what is on the slate in terms of Cool and Dre projects?
Dre: We'd like to congratulate Cool and Dre on makin' Mariah Carey's album! Mariah Carey! Please look out for Mariah Carey - Cool and Dre be getting into something kinda crazy. Look out for Beanie Sigel, looks like we have a his first single. Look out for Freeway, Rhymefest, Omar Cruz featuring the Game. Look out for the Game featuring Akon and Nas. Look out for everything we got coming - C-Ride, Joe Hound. We got a lot of @*#$! - Sean P., from the YoungBloodZ! (excerpt from DJBooth.net)
