PopMatters Music has put up an interview they conducted with DJ Z Trip, in which he discusses his collaboration with Chester on the track 'Walking Dead'. Here's what Z-Trip had to say: Z-Trip: He and I actually met each other on the road -- I'd opened for them three times on three separate tours. We've spent quite a bit of time together. I'm friends with the band, we're all homies. They've always looked out for me and I try my damnedest to look out for them. I think they're real genuine people, and I dig where they're coming from. It was just one of those things [where] I'd always wanted to do something with Chester, not even so much because he's Chester from Linkin Park -- that's obvious. I wasn't really that excited about that aspect, as much as I was about this [other] aspect, which is the bigger thing which I think is a shame because I don't think a lot of people are going to know -- but he's from Phoenix and I'm from Phoenix. There's a karmic element there for me with that song. You've got two guys who came from nothing and have made something for themselves, and that was the thing I was trying my hardest to make happen, and see happen. Just two guys making music. Z-Trip and Linkin Park aside, it was Zack and Chester. "Hey, what do you want to do? Let's make a song." Click Here To Read The Full Interview
I am going to bookmark that streaming site for The Walking Dead, until I am willing to pay 10 bucks on iTunes for the Ztrip album that wont allow me to buy the Walking Dead track by itself.
i think shifting gears is a pretty good album.. i didnt buy it tho.. downloaded it a while back.. but walking dead is still tight..
Yah I listened to Shifting Gears today at work and its a pretty good album. Its only gonna be like 9.99 when out dtore gets it in. I'll definitely buy it.
