Paid Dues '09: Rare Exclusive Interview with Cage

By Jeremy Azevedo

Last week at Paid Dues we were lucky enough to score an interview with Cage, a veteran of the independent rap scene and one of the brightest stars on the Definitive Jux label.

Despite the fact that the man is not known for doing a great deal of interviews, Cage had a lot to talk about... What with a new free E.P. and US tour coming in the summer, a new full-length album with production by Hatebreed’s Sean Martin coming shortly after that, and a new music video and biopic in production with Cage’s longtime friend, Shia LaBeouf. We also spoke with Cage about working with artist Alex Pardee and his guest appearance in Transformers 2 (I shit you not). Check out the video here:
