Tune in as DJ Wade-O talks with R-Swift about his new album "Apply Pressure", life after Cross Movement Records, the evolution of Rhyme Council, moving from Philly to Atlanta and much more. Quotables:- On The Past 2-3 years: "A lot of people been saying its been a while since I dropped an album. But if you look a little closer, I have been on a lot of features the past few years." - On the move from Philadelphia to Atlanta: "Tranistion can be hard period. But its been good. me and wife have been streched in so many ways since we've down to Atlanta....we've been growing. Growing a whole lot." - On his new album 'Apply Pressure': "The goal of this album is to apply a social pressure to people and make them look at things differently." - On leaving Cross Movement: "Out of respect for the legacy and the brand, there were certain things that I didn't say when I was with Cross Movement. Now that I'm indie, I'm just going to say whatever I want to say and if people love it, they love it, if not, they don't." - On being indie now: "Not everyone that is in your corner is in your corner...I don't mind going thru the storm if I know why I'm going thru it." - On Cross Movement's Legacy: "Because of what these dudes built, I can ask for honorariums" - On J.R.'s Talent: "He is a genius mind. We have not seen 1/10th of what he can cook up." - On the Evolution of Rhyme Council's Roster: "There's people that left, there's people that came. There's people that left again. I'm not going to stop until we get that thing right." - On the Underdog Experience with Social Club: Your never too small. God can use us to do great things no matter what your resources say. We plan to have fun and give a really really good show." - On being a veteran in CHH: "Sometimes when you be in this thing for too long. You wind up getting tainted."
