It's been 10 years since Northstar was introduced to the Wu-Universe. Together with the Black Knights, they appeared on the legendary 'The Swarm' Sampler, but the chemistry between this two goups failed and both decided to go it's own way. Now after 2 album releases and a Solotrip and numerous guestspots on related Wu albums, Meko the Pharao & Christbearer wanna hit us with a new Banger. 'For everey will there is a way' is the name of theire new album, they released a few days ago. It's time for us to connect with Christbearer to get some more infos about the release, theire ôwn situation and the affiliation to the Wu & other West Coast Killa Beez.

It's been ten years now since we first heard you on The Swarm, how would you summarize those years as a hip hop group?
Baby ages
Some of the new Fans don’t know much about your days in the beginning. Can u tell us quick how the situation was with the Black Knights back then.
We Black Knights and Northstar were two groups from the same hood that met RZA at the same time(1997) and he asked us to form one group we try'ed yet it did not work at the time.
There was a rumor that Skarekrow will joining Northstar as a kind of third memeber. Is this true and if so can you speak on it?
Yes Crow is apart of the Northstar outside of RZA he is the official producer and we have many members of Northstar besides me and Meko we are just the charter members.
Now you found a new home at Chambermusik. How does it feel to be the first group to drop official on Chambermusik Records?
It's Peace.
Why u released the same album u already released some years ago?
They wanted it.
And why u don’t put any new tracks on it, as bonus?
They had it up for sale before I knew anything about it. Its all good though.
How was the respond for it? Was it better than the first one?
I can't say both were beautiful.
After the first Northstar album dropped, you did tracks with RZA for Blade Trinity and Unleash, but then you kinda disappeared for a minute, what were you doing?
Getting refocused i had two major deaths in my family and the lime light at the time was conflicting with my focus.
You announced a new Northstar album some weeks ago, let us talk about that one. The name is “For every will there is a way“. Why you choosed this one?
Because its been the undeniable truth in my life and still is, a way for every will no matter what
What can we expect from it and do you got a release date now?
It's got some Rock,im singing some R&B,vintage Christbearer & Northstar Hip Hop along wit new styles, i'm just making music on there and enjoying it. It's on I-Tunes and other sites now the hard copy comes out in january.
Is RZA also involved in it, like your first one?
RZA is involved in it allways as long as it's Northstar thats my mentor.
Can you take us through your creative process?
I hear the beat, feel it then right most of the time. Others i kick back and get and idea any time any were and take that to the studio.
How can you describe the chemistry between you two when you rock a track together?
Mathematics
The Cover for it is very simple, why u choose such a horrible artwork?
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The picture on the cover is from my old northstar shirt that is all grimy and full of wholes yet. I love it. The art work for the hard copy will be more to do.
As a part of the West Coast Killa Beez, what can u say about D the Dragon (who claimed to be the Hollywood Killa Bee)?
He is officially one of the many brothers that's down with the stars now. You know we world wide.
Can u tell us which groups and artists are currently in the West Coast Killa Beez?
Black Knights, The Committy, The Individualz and some others that are down with the west coast. Just not on the west, you know. Extended family and of course Northstars.
Black Knights build up theire Black Ball Entertainment. Do you got any connections to them?
That's family.
What's the deal with 71Raw? You were featured on theire last album. Are they down with the West Coast Killa Bee movement, can you tell us more about them?
Thats my group that i'm still working with. I took them to RZA, he said keep working with them, so they been working. I talk to them, they said they have a banging new album. I told them to let me hear it before. I take it to RZA again, they never got back at me. So who knows, they peace though!
Can we expect an West Coast killa Beez Sampler?
Yeah.
Do you have any unreleased work from Doc Doom and can we expect some in the future?
Yes.
Do you have any memories with him you can share with us?
Me and Doc use to have dreams of going to the NBA. We would allways compete with each other on the court for who had the best handles. We were both pretty good Hip Hop was just are deal ya dig.
Meko is more in the background like you, what is he doing all the time?
He's out in Vegas most of the time doing his thing out there.
So, what's the deal with Northstar? You live in LA and Meko is in Vegas. How do you work together?
As for me and Meko, yeah he's in Vegas right now and i left Vegas and came back to Cali yet. He and i are back in forth that's how we stay working together on albums.
When will we see some solo Meko material, or a full length Christbearer album?
Christbearer is coming in 2009. Meko would have to tell you about himself as far as that.
Who are you feeling in the rap game at the moment?
Myself.
Will you be touring for the next time?
Yes.
Is it possible for your fans in europe, specially germany, to see you live as well?
Hell,yeah the West Coast Killa Bee album sold best in Germany and Japan, so we gotta give back the love.
Last but not least, do you got any last words for them?
Fa sho, keep believing in your self and that for every will there IS A WAY!
Thanx for your time you taken and i wish u the best for your new album.
