Taken from the Bishop Lamont part 1 interview:
Aftermathmusic.com:
Ok, ha-ha. Many fans are eagerly anticipating the "Caltroit" mix-tape with you and Black Milk from Detroit. What can fans expect to hear from the mix-tape?
Bishop Lamont:
Ah man I'm so excited about this project! They can expect the unexpected. They can expect to see people they didn't expect to see. They can expect different styles in production and features and vibes. It's a lot of fun, man! I'm more excited about this than I was about "****** Noize" because "****** Noize" had such a serious format and had a restrictive theme. Like there were guidelines when I was doing it subconsciously but you saw how serious it got. "****** Noize" was fun but it followed a more disciplined route and had a serious goal.
With "Caltroit" it's just the unity of MCing and DJing. It is just vibing where the music is bigger than the crates and a dedication of old, a dedication to late 80s and early 90s Hip Hop. It's about what the MC should be doing and what the MC should be feeling. It is pure fun and Black Milk and I went hard on the paint as well as everyone else involved in the project. When people see who is who on it they're not going to expect it. It was just dope music that everyone who got the phone call was with it. Nobody was Hollywood, nobody was difficult, and everybody was with it and gave 100% of their energy towards this movement. Everyone contributed talent to this project to make it that much bigger. Like Justice League, all the MCs came together like Superman, Batman, X-Men and all them mother fuckers, you know what I mean… it is dope.
