The Beat Yard: Who would you like to work with in the future?
Dolo the Bandit: Anyone in love with their craft creating beautiful music.
The Beat Yard: Would
you prefer to be in the studio with a beatmaker, or would you rather
the beatmaker just send you a track and you rhyme to it whenever you
have the chance?
Dolo the Bandit: I prefer to collab with producers in the studio.
Collective efforts are always better though schedules and technology has
changed that routine.

ability.
The Beat Yard: Have
you had any negative experiences you've had with a beatmaker/ producer
that you would like to share?
Dolo the Bandit: Having a producer re-create a beat they no
longer have tracked out. It's very annoying and most the time it's the
tracks you really want.
