The Bad Seed Tells His Whole Story: Jay-Z, Dame Dash, 50 Cent, Jean Grae & More

The Bad Seed is one of Brooklyn’s most respected underground lyricists, with a career spanning major label deals, legendary collaborations, industry controversies, and decades of hip-hop history. In this exclusive interview, The Bad Seed opens up about creating his new collaborative album with Shade Cobain, his thoughts on Jay-Z, Dame Dash, Drake, Griselda, Diddy, KRS-One, and the current state of hip-hop. He also shares never-before-heard stories about growing up in a military family, dating Jean Grae, signing to Warner Bros., working alongside MIMS, DJ Kay Slay, Funkmaster Flex, Janet Jackson, and 50 Cent, plus why he believes he was never paid for his role in the creation of “21 Questions.” Seed also reflects on childhood trauma, fatherhood, the highs and lows of the music industry, losing close friends, and why independent artists need to build their own ecosystem instead of waiting for the mainstream to embrace them.
