Corey Bloom of Synthesis Magazine interviews Phat Kat.

Also featured in this podcast, the tracks Nasty Aint It? and Cold Steel

Phat Kat aka Ronnie Cash was born and raised on the east side streets of Detroit. An emcee that is always hard at work in the studio. Methodically perfecting his craft, so that when it’s his turn to unleash his brand of hardcore hip-hop onto the world, it will surely shake the industry. A man not afraid to tell it like it is. A man fed up with the overachievers in hip-hop. A man on mission to save hip-hop.

[From the Look Records Bio]
With its mix of original, streetwise rhymes that fall somewhere in-between gangsta, conscious, and backpack, grooves that can take you from the gutter to the VIP and back, and production that innovates rather than imitates, Carte Blanche is like no Detroit album you’ve ever heard before. It maintains the standard for excellence set by Phat Kat’s cohorts Dilla and Slum Village, but with a much more hardcore thrust. Asked what the album’s title means to him, Phat Kat says with a laugh, “Absolute authority. Full power,” adding, “It’s a good thing.” With this album, he says, he’s daring people to “take responsibility for their own actions.” As for himself, “Every time I step in the booth, I’m tryna make some classic shit,” he promises.
