BallerStatus.com: What new projects do you and Hiero have that are coming up?

Del: I don't know about the rest of Hiero, but me and Tajai just started collaborating on this EP he wanted to do, and he wanted to go more in a dub-step direction 'cause he kinda mentioned it to me, and I was like, "Yeah, I got that locked. I know how to do that." So he hit me up and was like, "Is it cool? Can you hook me up with some dubstep beats for this new EP?" I made him six like dub-steppy type of tracks -- I mean they're different from dub-step. I know what to do with it, so I took it to somewhere else at this point, but you know it's still got that dub-step type of rhythm or whatever. We was working on that like a week ago, and it's gonna drop on his label, Clear Label Records.

Me and A-Plus also got an album we're both working on dually, and that's called Hypnotize, and that's with me and C7, with Compound 7. Me to a lesser degree, the core of C7 is A-Plus and Aagee.

I am also almost finished with Deltron: 2nd Event. That's almost done -- I'm just trying to get these guest spots taken care of. I got a few songs with Tame One, Redman's cousin from the Artifacts, on there, so I just sent him the tracks and my raps. He can do what we need him to do. He texted me a long ass rap, and I was like, "Wow, you ready," 'cause it was on some Deltron sh**, and I knew he could do that. Dan The Automator produced all the tracks. Kid Koala added ear candy, I mean cuts and stuff like that. The music has been done for quite awhile -- they're just waiting on me to write and record the lyrics, so I just got back into that space where I'm ready to record. It's 11 tracks. It's my style, but it's put in a futuristic term -– that's the area.

BallerStatus.com: Do you think Deltron: 2nd Event is gonna drop in 2011?

Del: I hope so. It better. The only thing is I don't know what we gonna do with it. It's just the climate nowadays. You never know, it could be a Kanye, it could be an anomoly, it could be like a Wayne, you know what I'm saying? Like most people ain't selling nothing, but Wayne's selling millions, Kanye's selling millions, so you don't know.
