24: How did you get signed to UGK Records?

DJ B-Do: The affiliation is through my mentor Pimp C & Rick Martin. Rick is C's manager & mine as well. I'm also a part of Pimp C's 808 Boyz Productions along with Steve Below & Averexx.

DJ B-Do: I'm a producer first, I write and I'm a DJ. I come from a musical background. My father played the keyboard. I played the drums since before I could talk & I also learned how to play the saxophone at a young age.

24: Tell me some producers that inspire you as well as artist?

24: What are some must have equipment that you need to be in the studio to make your beats?

DJ B-Do: I use the Fantom & the MPC 4000. Nothing's better than having a live guitar player in a session!

24: You produced "Grind Hard" for UGK so take behind the making of that beat?

DJ B-Do: Actually "Grind Hard" was a track that was originally for T.O.E. He called me & told me he got a verse & hook from Pimp & he wanted me to make another track around that. I made the track & he dropped his verse & instead of him paying me for the track I wanted the last verse on the song. After that it was all history!!! Never in a million years we thought it was going to make the UGK project. I also co-produced the "Top Drop Dyne" remix along with Cory Mo that was only available on the CD with the DVD attached. It's a hidden track on CD 1 Track #13. Trill Niggaz Don't Die is really 2 songs and it comes in when after Bun's last verse on that song

24: Do you have a certain way you like to approach making your beats for example I know some producers who start with the drums all the time?

DJ B-Do: It depends on how I'm feeling or what's going on in my head. I can start from keys or drums but it really doesn't matter!

24: As an artist what do you think your music brings to the table?

DJ B-Do: I'm bringing the next generation to TRILL to the game. That originated in Port Arthur, Texas & no one else got a chance to let the world hear it from my hood. Trill is how we really live. Things go on out there that don't happen anywhere else.

DJ B-Do: I produced "Drop My Top" for So So Def's Short Dawg but I don't know if it's going to be on his album or not as yet though. I'm focusing on staying busy and trying to touch every project that I can. T.O.E and myself are currently working on a project also.

24: How can someone get in contact with you for some production or a possible feature, etc?

DJ B-Do: Anyone wanting to get at me can just hit me up at my myspace page WWW.MYSPACE.COM/DJBDO.

24: Any last comments?

DJ B-Do: Look out for DJ B-DO, T.O.E.& Yung Messiah from P.A. along with the rest of the UGK Records family and 808 Boyz To A Hood, at a club to a bass banging trunk near you!
