How are you all doing?
Jizzal Man-Awe baby
we are doing good.
Since the album has been out have you been doing a lot
of shows?
Jizzal Man-We've been
doing a lot of shows period. Shows are turning from promo
to paid.
A lady e-mailed me, I interviewed you all a few months
ago, and she said you all performed for a youth group
during Super Bowl weekend and she said the kids just really
loved you all. Do you all get a really good reaction from
fans everywhere that you go?
Jizzal Man-Yeah that's
everywhere that we go.
Tell me a little more about this "Lean Wit It, Rock Wit
It," was it a dance first or a song first?
Jizzal Man-Well actually
it was a dance first. The song, lean wit it rock wit it
is now introducing of the dance. It's the proper name
call for the dance. People been wanting to know what its
called, what ya'll doing, so now we brought the song to
let everybody know this is what we are doing, we're leaning
with it and rocking with it. You lean forward and then
you rock backwards and you snap your fingers and move
from left to right, that's lean with it rock with it.
Some fans wanted me to ask you, do you all ever have
a chance to read the comments on your MYSPACE profile?
Jizzal Man-No we don't be having that kinda
time. Jermaine be having us working. We don't have time
to check out emails at home really.
You said you all are working, what are you all doing
right now?
Jizzal Man-Well you
know our album just dropped so we are working. We are
doing a lot of promo each and everywhere. We just basically
work, we trying to move these units.
When you hear other groups with your style are you
flattered or do you basically feel like they bit your
style?
Jizzal Man-Both. I
feel both but it doesn't matter to me because I know me
and my brothers we doing something that everybody like
and for them to come behind us we labeled ourselves as
trendsetters we are the kings of snap music.
Tell me, what exactly is snap music?
Jizzal Man-I have
been hearing that term a lot lately. It's a variety of
all music in one. It's a crunk, it's a laid back, its
an adult, and its an old school vibe. You know everybody
can move to it. It aint nothing that the older generation
be like I cant listen to that , I aint with that mess,
they are like "That aint to bad," its for everybody its
all in one.
Are there any tracks on the album that you all really
like performing maybe more than some of the others? Jizzal
Man-My favorite….I gotta say "Oh I Think They
Like Me,"
How are your friends and family reacting to your newfound
fame and success?
Jizzal Man-My family
tree is small so we look we look at it like scoot up to
the table we have a little more to eat.
What's next for Dem Franchize Boyz?

and they write their own stuff.
How do you deal with people handing you music after a
show?
Jizzal Man-We don't

with us that deal with that set up, collect their CD's
and info and we listen to it if its hot we get at them
and if its not it is what it is
