Leila: Welcome to watchmojo.com, I am your host Leila. Let's get upfront with Danny Diablo aka Lord Ezec, the lord of his musical empire, a hip-hop Thug-core crossover. So let's start a bit with the development of Thug-core style before even the establishment of Skarhead, where did this creation come from? Danny Diablo: Just from the neighborhood, and I am from Jackson Heights, Queens and grew around hip-hop and other things, so basically I was in hip-hop before, and began to hardcore so we talk about the same things in both scenes. That's the progressive to put both styles together and just -- that's how it became Skarhead and I never called it the Thug-core or anything like that. Leila: What's it like for you to see, other people pick up on it? Danny Diablo: Well they are good, you know, they add more power to it. I am happy. Leila: You know, imitation is the best form of flattery. Leila: Yeah, what's it like working others artists versus doing it individually? Danny Diablo: If you are cool and you are -- and you know, if you are cool and you like to do hard music I will work with you. Leila: What is it like working together? Ceekay: You know, we have a good time, man, you what I mean? We travel together we are always - yeah, let's got, it is a good team, I have been working with Ezec for a while and now, you know, I do his hype stuff. We do the shop blockers together and you know, we pretty much -- we are a good match, you know, we balance each other out so, you know. Leila: What are you responsibilities as an entertainer?

I listen to my music and make someone happy I am happy. Leila: And going from musician to actor to producer, is this like, is it the same you from activity to activity. Are you putting a... Danny Diablo: I am still the same retard. I love staying busy. Once -- if I am not bust that means I am not doing anything and that means I am going to get myself in trouble so I stay busy, I stay positive, a positive mental attitude.
