The Bizzy Bone Interview.

Fourteen years of conversations. The people who made my journey matter.

Few people are more connected to the origin of Vigilantes Radio Live than Bizzy Bone.

Dini first discovered Bone Thugs-N-Harmony’s music in 1997 and, while still in high school, imagined that one day he would somehow meet and work alongside Bizzy. In 2010, a mutual friend named Byron from Texas finally connected the two by phone. What followed evolved from fandom into mentorship, 7th Sign, management, leadership, brotherhood and eventually a genuine business partnership.

But another idea would become equally important.

When traditional radio and industry gatekeepers weren’t creating opportunities for independent artists,

Bizzy encouraged a different response:

Build your own platform.

Dini brought that philosophy to life.

Fourteen years later, Vigilantes Radio Live is still standing.

This special conversation begins with two Bizzy Bone and Twista collaborations separated by nearly two decades—“Money” and the new Mozaic Art collaboration “The Truth”—opening the door to the complicated history between Bone, Twista and the Midwest’s rapid-fire rap movement before examining what reconciliation, competition and mutual respect look like decades later. “Money” appeared during Bizzy’s A Song for You era, while “The Truth” brings the two artists together again on Mozaic Art.

Bizzy also opens up about a Jamie Foxx collaboration that didn’t make Mozaic Art, a new record in development with Katt Williams, and his expanding ambitions in film as he discusses the developing biopic and the conversations surrounding Adam Sandler and Netflix.

Then nothing is off limits.
