JayLip: House Shoes

House Shoes is a household name in the world of Hip Hop.  A Producer’s Producer, a DJ’s DJ and Detroit’s Hip Hop Ambassador to the World.  Still bringing that True Grit to the tables and your ears, never on some I-just-gotta-play-this-SHIT-to-make-the-girls-butts-shake-SHIT.

We were on deck for both the Listening Party at Turntable Lab for The Time EP and most recently the Album Release Party at Speakeasy for Let It Go.  EPIC nights with performances from Quelle Chris, MED, Oh No, Alchemist and Cos among others.  If you haven’t bought his shit, you should buy his shit…

He was kind enough to humor us with his colorful wit and sharp words on our latest installment of JayLip.  Peep while he pisses off some and pays homage to others.  Always a good convo with this dude, SALUTE HOUSE SHOES!

LAX-JFK X HOUSE SHOES TEASER

Team LAX-JFK was in the building for a long awaited album release party;  House Shoes’ LET IT GO.  We had to catch up to him and run down the JayLip questions.  Stay tuned for the full version to hear what 20+ years in the game will school us all on…. BUY THE ALBUM!

Jaylip: A Look Back

JayLip is an urban slant on a 10-questions interview format made famous by James Lipton on In the Actor’s Studio.  Our interview follows the same general rhythm, sort of a ping-pong line of questions spanning from love to hate and mortality.

We’ve broadcast 3-interviews already and we have some more in the can (post-production).  We broke out with Hip Hop Artist Quelle Chris, Producer Dibia$e and Artists/Sneaker Head Tyree Dillihay.  Coming soon, we have Producer House Shoes, Top Chef Michael Voltaggio and more on the horizon.

We appreciate the support, peep the archives below and if you’d like to be a subject for the interview or you have suggestions on who should be interviewed, hit us up (info@LAX2JFK.com)!

“Good art, good food, nice kicks & thick women…” -Ree

“An underdog that stayed on his grind and opened his own doors…” -Dibia$e

“Get you some money, stay in school if you a dummy…” – Quelle Chris
