Thanks to the Trey P and the good people at Vintage CLothing Limited for posting the interview on their blog. Here it is:
An Interview with Montreal Producer Strada
Trey P: So can you tell the Vintage audience and fans who Strada is?
Strada: I’m a producer, sound designer, and composer. I live in Montreal, Canada and yes, I am a French Canadian! For the last five years or so, I have been Wordsmith’s in-house producer. I also worked with Chubb Rock, Skyzoo, Gage Pierre(France), and The BC (UK). I did some scoring for a couple animation films and a few sound design gigs. Basically, I just try to make the best music possible, create audio background, and get you that feeling from sound.
We worked hard on this one and I got 9 songs out of 13 on this one. Buy it, or Listen to It or Recommend it but let me know what you think of it people!

4 Wordsmith and Chubb Rock: Bridging the Gap (Unruly)
When one of Baltimore’s most prolific verbal gymnasts teamed up with one of hip-hop’s golden age MCs, it wasn’t an effort to revisit a bygone era when the music and the message intertwined into an instantly memorable feel-good jam. Instead, Wordsmith and Chubb Rock offered a crisp reminder that such heady hip-hop isn’t gone, merely less pimped than its trap/thug kin. Bridging the Gap’s 13 tracks might recall the late ’80s/early ’90s with its jazzy vibe and casual attitude, but both MCs rhyme about the now with clear-eyed precision, never more so than on the witty “Clay Davis,” which turns Isiah Whitlock Jr.’s signature sheeeeeiiiiiiiiiiiit into a vocal hook around which the two MCs offer a verbal snapshot of today’s hip-hop nation: “We do it for the Browns, we do it for Simpsons/ We do it for Obama and Hillary Clinton/ We do it for the heteros safely screwing, alternative lifestyles and how you doing?” (Bret McCabe)
