"Not that I'm trying to recreate a certain era, it's just I'm influenced by it and I give it my

updated twist." @Dprime215 Mistah Wilson: Yo, D Prime 215! Thanks for coming thru for this exclusive interview with thawilsonblock magazine! What's tha latest and greatest, fam? D Prime: Peace. Thanks for having me. The latest right now is my new single "State Ya Biz" Produced by J. DePina with cuts from DJ Soulbuck. Pushing that right now. Plus I'm prepping to release my 2nd solo EP "Sacred Mantra" very soon. Mistah Wilson: For our audience reading this, could you give us a quick background on yourself ? D Prime: Sure thing. I'm a young Black Man from Philadelphia, PA. Hip -Hop is my culture. Way before I picked up a pen to write a rhyme I was immersed in it. When I decided to get on my music grind I went hard and I was able to meet a number of my heroes and get invaluable jewels. Far as my style, it's based in lyricism. Not that I'm trying to recreate a certain era, it's just I'm influenced by it and I give it my updated twist.

Mistah Wilson: First things first, you just dropped tha visual for "State Ya Biz". What overall message are you trying to send with this song? D Prime: "State Ya Biz" is about meaning what you say and saying what you mean. But in a more realistic context, because let's face it, in life most people don't live by that doctrine. It's essentially calling a person out on not being who they say they are. So I wanted the video to illustrate that. The song itself is actually inspired by two of my favorite songs, "Friend or Foe" and "Friend or Foe '98" by Jay Z and DJ Premier. Soulbuck even used cuts from "Friend or Foe" on the hook.
