Bio:
"I get down with the grit 'n grime/ so until I get mine I'm gonna stay on the grind/and use the rhyme as a tool to build/cause there's empty space that needs to get filled," raps Workforce's Hawl Digg (pictured) on "Set It Straight." Digg's lyrics are positive without being corny, confident without being boastful and old-school without being outdated. DJ and producer the Dirty Dutchman serves him well with samples from the Curtis Mayfield era of soul, one that's spiritually akin to Workforce's gangsta-free urban sound. Danbury natives and childhood friends, Digg and the Dutchman became addicted to hip-hop when "Rapper's Delight" swelled beyond New York City. "[W]e've seen all the good and bad that hip-hop has to offer," says the Dutchman. "We formed Workforce in 2004 to promote more of the good and less of the bad."
Well as I'm sure you know a lot is up but nothing good. I know you guys hate me but I'm still a huge fan of the music and just added to my facebook page your link - I have not been to a show since September and miss Workforce - Woule love to come see you guys live. Will you be at Enter the Cypher this month? I can check with Dave to see if I'm allowed to come. Please note that I am so happy that Dave has you guys but please remember you are only getting one side of the story and as his friends that's all you need. But know that I am still a fan of your music and that is genuine so if you put the personal shit aside and keep it about the music then me coming should be all good.

Great interview. I'm always awed by the artistry of engineering. Like Hawl, I'm just a rapper, but the process of mixing and the ear that the engineer brings to a project to make the vocals pop and the vocals and the beat mesh has always intrigued m…
I hate everything about this guy....No not you Nasa, Kim Jong Il. Haha. Fantastic work by Sketch. Nasa is one of the most interesting cats I've come across on the indie scene. His discog is about 3 pages long, but you wouldn't know it unless you're…
