"Check it like this: the drum is universal - it doesn't matter if it's
hip-hop, drum n bass or thrash metal - it's all about that beat.
Me and Dave Lombardo flip beats to a different drummer -
that's what this project is about: rhythm dialog, building
bridges between scenes and styles. Flippin' the script always
means there's new vocabularies to be explored, and we're
just making up a new language as we go...Slayer was one of
the only rock bands on early Def Jam, and they influenced my
style. Dave's drumming wasmad rugged, and he was the
rhythm unit. Like the illest live band in hip-hop, The Roots, has
Q?est-love as their rhythm section, Slayer has Dave.
Think of this as a dialog about that kind of cultural collision"
