Okay, this one's gonna be fun.

I haven't been this excited about interviewing somebody in quite a while.

I'm a huge outcast fan, as you know, if you have been following on Twitter,

me and my friend George Foster at George Foster 72, decided to finally pull the trigger on doing an outcast bracket,

and man, is that a stressful fucking process.

But we've had fun with it. George has been a champ. He seated it for me, took that off my plate, which is nice,

because it's hard enough doing the bracket and tallying up the votes and writing on all the sheets and whatnot.

But then when you have people screaming at you about you seated it wrong,

and your mention's just indignant about this song, that song, and that's why Alcast is so great. 64 songs.

How many artists, how many groups, how many bands can do that, and then have 10 more songs that people are pissed off about,

not being on the bracket. George took care of the seating. So essentially, when people get mad at me, I just point in the direction of George,

who's three inches taller than me, 50 pounds heavier, from making George a five years my senior, and a huge outcast fan from the beginning.

He'd take it up with George. George is a long time NFL veteran. I met him in St. Louis when he worked for the Rams.

He's that dude. He's a big fan, a lot of musical knowledge. So this was cool to have George involved in the process,

and he's going to join me tonight to call in his buddy, Rico Wade, who is a third of organized noise.

And organized noise is of course the production team that kind of launched Alcast career. It took Big Boy and Dre from high school kids,

wrapping in cafeterias to signing with LaFace Records, meeting LA Reed, and doing Southern Play Elistic, and then doing ATLians,

which organized noise, did damn near all of that, more so on the first and the second, before Alcast went off doing a little bit more their own production,

but still organized noise, who by the way does pretty much all goody mob stuff, and has done things for TLC for usher.

I think they did waterfalls. They continued to do Alcast stuff, so fresh and so clean, who's in our chonky ship, and a very contentious funky for, and chonky ship here,

and Alcast has fans of all generations walks of life, that whole thing, you know what I'm saying there, which is a testament to how great they are without ever selling out on the sound.

You know, certainly there are singles like, hey, which was seeded in 11, some people are mad, that it's even winning, some people are mad, that it's seeded so low.
