Who is Dame Grease?
Dame Grease is a producer that puts out a lot of music. Raised in Harlem, he has been in the game for 14 years. When asked what he considers as his biggest achievement until this day, Dame recalls: “A couple years ago, I put out that DMX album “It’s Dark and Hell It’s Hot” that sold lots of records”.
At some point in his career, Dame Grease was involved in artist development and had his hands in launching the careers of artists & producers like Swizz Beats, DMX, The Lox.
I asked him to tell me more about his involvement on these projects.
“When we first started, we had the studio, we worked on the whole album together, LOX first album, DMX first album; we were actually doing songs that changed the Hip Hop sound even until this day.”
Dame Grease started Vacant Lot Records, his own record label. Some of the artists signed to the label include an R&B artist T6, whose song was out earlier this month. There is also Jae Millz from Young Money Lil Wayne’s label. Another artist is Push Montana who recently signed to Konvict.
Dame Grease also has a series of mixtapes out right now, the Max B. mixtape”, the goon mixtape series. “The Wave Gang” mixtape series.
We discussed about auto-tune.. Dame Grease said: “I have absolutely nothing against auto-tune, I like natural singing songs and I also like auto-tune songs; I’m a musician, so I like whatever is pleasant to the ear! I don’t really hate when somebody is doing that, if it’s good, it’s good! I have an auto-tune artist named Blanket Jackson.”
Dame Grease favorite songs include: “Big Poppa” by Biggie Smalls, DMX “Get at Me Dawg” and “Dawg For Life” from X second album, Mary J Blige “Dance For Me” among many others.
