ThaFormula.com – You’re one of the main people that decided on bringing back “Unity,” what made you bring this together?

Chace Infinite - Cause I grew up in Los Angeles and when I was growing up we had a lot of venues that was doing shit.  Right now we ain't got none, so I was like fuck it.  No disrespect but there is shit out here besides Snoop Dogg.  The timing was just right now.  About 2 or 3 years ago DJ Muggs, Khalil and myself formed a company together called Angeles Records.  Us just being Soul Assassins affiliated artists, Muggs was really supportive.  He said if you guys need extra help financially to back it and get it started, I got y'all.  Really that’s what kind of what made us kick it in gear and do it.  Bigga B was my cousin and he was just an influential cat on every level and I'm just trying to follow in his footsteps and continue the legacy.  Hopefully we will be able to make this a muthafuckin’ festival.  I see a lot of people that Bigga B helped out having a lot for success with their festivals like Chang (Rock the Bells).  And I seen a lot of those festivals don't hire Self Scientific or Sick Symphonies and others in L.A. and you see the kind of power we got right now.  So our goal is to make this a festival and in 6 months there is going to be 10,000 muthafuckas here supporting “Unity” and getting this black and brown shit together in L.A.  Because we’ve got a deeper purpose in this shit, we’re trying to bring muthafuckas together.

ThaFormula.com - Is the current lack of sales affecting smaller labels like Angeles as well man?

Chace Infinite - Hell yeah, for sure.  It affects everybody because we sell records.  The bottom line is that is our business.  I don’t sell dope, I sell records.  I run a record label.  So hell yeah that shit affects us because everybody's records ain’t selling like they used to.  We just have to readjust and get to the people who want to download the shit before they download it.

ThaFormula.com - How do think a new artist coming out independently must go about making his money in 2006?

Chace Infinite - Build your brand, merchandise and tour.  You can make 10,000 dollars a month selling shirts believe me.

ThaFormula.com - So what's the deal with the Self Scientific and Sick Symphonies collabo album?

Chace Infinite - That's gonna be a monumental album for L.A.  We’re gonna do that shit right.  Black & Brown shit for real because I grew up in Los Angeles with a lot of Latino brothers and sisters so I fully understand the aspects of the culture and Sick Symphonies grew up with a lot of brothers and in dealing with this music they understand the aspects of the Black culture which is actually one in the same ‘cause were actually all living under the umbrella of Hip-Hop.  We’re gonna show muthafuckas really what it is about, some real lyricism and a real point to this shit.  We’re gonna really bring both worlds together and create an army in L.A.

ThaFormula.com - When are you guys looking at dropping that?

Chace Infinite - Probably like May or June of next year.

ThaFormula.com - As far as Self Scientific goes, are you happy with the progress of your group?
