What is your name and what do you do?
My real name is King James Britt and I communicate on a universal level with music and resonating frequencies.
How long have you been doing it?
My whole existence, even subconsciously. Starting with my parents guidance.
Now Silk130 is one of my best cd’s what was that like creating it?
I was touring digable in 93 and began writing this 'trilogy', which subsequently in my autobiography. So When the Funk Hits the Fan is my first full length and it really made me realize, that I was really a producer. Working with Philly's cream of the crop and doing it fearlessly.
You where the first acid jazz DJ in the United States? How was that?
Ha ha ha. No one even realizes that. It was a blessing in a disguise of a 'movement'. Right place right time. This position helped me and other up to where we are today. The openness of silk city's audience made it to. If it were to happen now, it wouldn't last @ all.
Top 3 Hip hop Albums that are a must have?
Well, I really hate categories. Hip hop is a culture encompassing all things great. The 3 albums I'm about to mention were pre hip hop but had the attitude of, "we can do this"

Off the wall: Michael Jackson
Innervisions: Stevie Wonder
Uncle jam wants you: Funkadelic
-Now in the normal sense of hip hop-
Reachin': Digable Planets
Low end theory: A Tribe Called quest
It takes a nation: Public Enemy
Something about you that people don't know?
I can fly. My spirit soars above earth
What is it about Street Fatigues that you love?
I love the fact that I know the owner's background and how he built this from the ground up. The name itself represents being prepared for war at anytime in these streets. The way you maneuver your contacts and connection to slowly build and empire. Also, the ideas are close to heart as you are 'in' the culture, not outside of it.
Favorite Artist and why?
You know what, I always say someone else, but I'm my favorite artist. Because of my diversity and continued appreciation for the power and influence of music in our existence.
What was the 1980’s House Music movement like?
It was thriving and free. In New York City I went to the loft, save the robots and area. In Jersey, Zanzibar and in Philly, The Impulse. It was a great time to be in it because it was encompassing all genres but keeping this 4/4 foundation. It was about freedom of expression, dance and art. 3 great house DJ’s Tony Humphries, T Alford and Frankie Knuckles.

Is the glass half full or half empty?
Depends on the glass. If its an our glass, half empty as time is running out in this realm. If its a glass of accomplishments, then half full, so much more to do.
