It sounds like youвЂ™re listening to those old albums when youвЂ™re sitting there talking about regular sh*t. IвЂ™m a fan, because when you hear Ghost and Chef talk, they sound like the skits from the old albums. I canвЂ™t even imagine that vibe in the studio. You got to love him when he spits that sh*t. First of all, IвЂ™m a fan of everybody on my album, but definitely the Wu-Tang Clan. WeвЂ™re like the same kind of guys вЂ“В big dudes, same energy. This is sick.вЂќ I was in the studio with Kiss, and he said, вЂњI got to get on that record. Being on tour together and seeing him tear that stage down, I could just hear him on it. ItвЂ™s energy he brings on all of his songs. What was it about Ferg that made you want to work with him? HeвЂ™s part of the new breed of New York rappers. You have Fab, Pusha T, and a bunch of other artists. My frame of thought is IвЂ™m in that beast mode in this jungle out here. When IвЂ™m on my gorilla sh*t, IвЂ™m not trying to be the Black Panthers. I wanted to get back into that gritty sound. I called it that, because I wanted to get back into beast mode. Do you consider the first one your best body of work and thatвЂ™s why you wanted to do a sequel? You decided to name this project Silverback Gorilla 2. He alsoВ confirms a reunited Puff Daddy & The Family will be hitting the road together in early 2016.

Besides speaking on SBG2, the D-Block Records representative touches on working with Ghostface and the lack of respect for rap music pioneers. In addition,В Sheek drafts Swizz Beatz, Pusha T, Fabolous,В A$AP Ferg,В Joell Ortiz, Raheem DeVaughn, and others forВ contributions to the LP.ДЄ caught up with Sheek Louch to get some insight into his new album. His Lox brethren Jadakiss and Styles P make appearances as well as his Wu Block partnerВ Ghostface Killah. As Sheek puts it, heвЂ™s still вЂњsaying some sh*t.вЂќДonnie G is not the only high level emcee bringing theВ bars on Silverback Gorilla 2. Longtime fans should not be too concerned about the East Coast spitter abandoning the lyrical focus established on cuts as a member of The Lox and Wu Block. This time the New York native wanted toВ provide listeners with a different approach on street-centered Hip HopВ by offering both soul sounding beats and head bangers. The 17-track Silverback Gorilla 2В is a fresh take on SheekвЂ™s beast mode theme presented in previous works such as 2008вЂ™s Silverback Gorilla, 2010вЂ™s Donnie G: Don Gorilla, and the 2015 SBG2 precursor GorillaweenВ mixtape.

Later this week, Sheek Louch lets loose his first studio album in 5 years.
