B Dolan has beeninvolved in Providence longer then you have thought rap music was a good career choice. He helped spearhead the consumer awareness website known as Knowmore.org with Sage Francis, and now gets to tell 401hiphop.com all about his upcoming album with Alias, and how the whole thing came to be.
Sole has got to be one of the most dynamic front men for a band I have seen in quite sometime. He is currently on tour with the Skyrider Band in support of their self titled remix album. I got a chance to ask him some questions. You know you want to read it!
here is the interview just posted here (cause wtf we need the hits!)

This was emailed to me since I am not an admin on this site I couldn’t approve jotsone’s post, so I told him to send it to me. here we go:
Big City’s name is certainly appropriate for the Fall River-based emcee. I remember seeing him at the first show I ever did with him and thinking that he picked rappers like me out of his teeth on the daily. It took me at least 2 more shows just to work up the courage to say hello to the motherfucker, but I was quick to find that City is nothing if not a genuinely good guy. With a stage presence that can rival anyone jocking for position in this New England underground and rhymes that can hold their own against anyone you listen to, City has finally put it all together on his album, Everything I Do Is Badass, which will be out on Delusional Records very soon. City and I took a while to converse about it, amongst other things, recently.

This is the first (and probably last) time I ever do an audio interview. But here it is finally the interview with the self proclaimed “Battle Champ”. you have watched the videos, now take heed and listen.

Joe beats has been involved with Providence way before I even knew this city existed. He has been one of the most prominent, if not THE most prominent beatsmiths from this state ever! He is currently on tour with Blak going up and down the east coast over the next couple of weeks. He granted me this interview, I just hope your ready for it.
He’s Ill, He’s Raw, and no He doesn’t want to hear your demo! Dezmatic is stomping through the east coast and one of the dates is april 5th at AS220. I had a chance to ask some question to this Behemoth. you know the drill by now.
Prolyphic is got to be one of the best local musicians/wordsmiths to take to the stage and now with his recent signing to locally-bred but nationally known record label Strange Famous Records, Prolyphic gives me a chance to ask some questions that have been plaguing me for awhile and hopefully this interview will give you some insight into one of the future greats. more after the jump!

Known by one of his friends as the unofficial “mayor of Providence,†Mr. Carvahlo is a true Renaissance man, visionary, and hip hop ambassador – a first generation Cape Verdean immigrant, representing for his people.
