Most of us have had it drilled into our heads by parents, teachers, politicians, favorite cartoon characters, and B-list celebrities that indulging in certain smokable substances over long periods of time will lead not to a bright future but to a brain fried beyond repair. Be that as it may, veteran emcee Devin the Dude is still going strong after more than a decade and a half in the game, and his unique brand of comedy-infused rap is more popular than ever.
With his fifth studio album, Landing Gear, on store shelves (released via indie label Razor & Tie and his very own Coughee Brothaz imprint), and a Booth-approved first single in “I Can’t Make It Home,” Devin is flying higher than ever. The brand-new LP finds the Dude working with many of his longtime friends, including DJ Domo and fellow Odd Squad member Rob Qwest, on his most mature material to date, but never abandoning the party-ready attitude that brought him his devoted fanbase.
In an exclusive interview with DJBooth’s own DJ “Z,” Devin the Dude steps inside the booth to discuss the wide array of producers he worked with on Landing Gear, why he never managed to earn his pilot license, and what he would cook up for the ultimate barbecue feast.
