- U.G. -- Hey, What's GOOD? Your Microwave Man C.D. been labeled a banger by the streetz. What you think it is that separate you from the other rappers grindin in the game?
KAHEL -- I believe it's my work ethic that separate me from the rest. Plus my process of recording is real easy, I get it in. It's like this, where I'm from a lot of the music that come out sound the same. Listen to my C.D. from my way and you'll see I got a distinct sound.
- U.G. -- Rap music is so watered down right now with dance tunes, skinny jeans, love songs, and auto tune. The Microwave Man C.D. seem to captured that realness the game been missing for a minute.. What influence you to drop this C.D.?
KAHEL -- Being a fan of rap music since I was a little so all I'm really doing is chasing my dream, you know. I was also influenced by other rappers that came up from similar upbringings who made it. My family and friends continue to push me to do what I love most.
- U.G. -- Rappers like T.I., Mr. Rain, C-Murder, Lil Boosie, and LIL Wayne has got caught up in the prison system while trying to juggle the streetz and music. What steps are you taking not to repeat the same mistakes they made?

- U.G. -- What’s good? Tell everybody out there how long ya’ll been grinding in the rap game, because a lot of up and coming artist do not know how much work Identical has put in.
SJ -- We been recording and doing shows since around 1991 or 1992. We were a lot of people’s first look at what Inkster had to offer as far as talent went in those days. We were young on the stage and we had to earn respect. We come from an era of rap when you had to put in real work, and get out and go make a name for yourself.
AJ -- The grind has been the best part of the process to me, it's been a few years out here putting in the work.
- U.G. -- What do you think is the secret to lasting long in a game where every day a star is born?
SJ: Well if we told you that, then it would not be that much of a secret would it. To me the only stars are in the SKY!!!!
AJ: Staying true to who you are and not being fake with it, it's a lot of fakers in the game. We never have a problem looking in the mirror in the morning because we are true.
- U.G. -- Last night I was at a strip club in Detroit with some members of the street team, and heard ya’ll hit single “Fannin’ Wit Da Money” played about eight times. Was the strip club apart of the creative process while coming up with that song concept?
SJ -- Not really, Tweet (The president of Neighborhood Music) was the one who got the song played in the strip club. We took it up there, the dj liked it and played it, and then the dancers started to request it. But the creative process was just getting the concept and then writing about how it be when you getting that money, you wonna act a fool with it, so start “Fannin Wit Da Money”
AJ -- Another part of the process, staying out there with the hits.....Even the haters really love IDENTICAL...
