[FROM HHG]
HHG: You’ve been making a lot of noise producing for DMV artists as well as artists from all over. What have the last couple months been like for you?
JUDAH: It’s been crazy. It’s such a good time to be from the DMV as an artist and as a producer. It’s a good time. My career didn’t just start with Wale. My career started eight years ago when I was producing for local artists and cats that had deals like Pastor Troy and others. It’s come full circle and it’s coming back around to where I’m able to work with the new guys coming out of the DMV. But I’ve been doing it for awhile on the local and national level. It feels good to get that recognition from working with fellow DMV guys like Wale and Marky. It’s a good time.
HHG: Was it hard staying focused when you worked with local artists who never really made any big moves?
JUDAH: The whole thing is the industry doesn’t really respect D.C. They say, “You’re from D.C? You’re on that gogo stuff.” Or they say you’re country. They don’t really respect us as a music mecca. They don’t understand that gogo is one of the livest forms of music ever. There’s so many musicians and there’s so much talent here that it’s bound to shine at any point and it’s shining now. So it’s been a real struggle. As an independent producer, I get love wherever I go but it’s just a struggle trying to break into different cliques and different labels. They’re not really recognizing D.C. They go to Timbaland and Polow Da Don but these producers copied our sound. They don’t come to anybody in the DMV to actually make that sound. So it’s long overdue.
