New York Rap artist WIZEFOOL was born in Harlem New York and has lived in the slums of the Bronx and Harlem, Flushing Queens, rural upstate N.Y. to Yonkers New York; where in 1993 he started rapping in street and school ciphers, developing a wicked and versatile writing and rhyme style.

Wize put a track out that hit the hip-hop and rap mix tape arena. The track is called ‘Asylum Author’. When NY rap artist Ja Rule released ‘New York’ feat Fat Joe & Jadakiss; Jadakiss shouted out at WizeFool in what some would call a diss.

We wanted to get at Wize and get his impression of the Jadakiss matter and to see what all he is up to.

The interview turns into a conversation between Wize and Robert of ThugLifeArmy.com, on some of the things going on in the hip-hop culture today.

We would like to express our thanks to WizeFool for giving us this opportunity to talk with him.

Robert – We want to thank you for taking time to talk to us.

WizeFool – Thank you for the chance and the opportunity

Robert – Lets start with a little background on yourself; where you from, how long you been rappin.

WizeFool – I’m pretty much from all over New York. I’ve lived in Harlem. I’ve lived in the Bronx, Yonkers, and Upstate NY. I started rhyming in 93 in Yonkers, and ever since then I haven’t stopped with the pen.

Robert – Are you doing more shows or recording as of late?

WizeFool – I’m doing more recording right now. I’m trying to get some new material down. But the material is crazy; it is some really good music, it’s really hot music.

Robert – One of the reasons we wanted to talk to you was on the track that Ja Rule put out, New York, Jadakiss had spit a mention of your name on that track. Can you give us a little insight on how that came about?

WizeFool – In the beginning of 2004, I had recorded a track called ‘Asylum Author’. It was a lyrical word play song and I put it out there and it was on the mix tapes. And I guess that the song was so compelling that Kiss – he decided to take a shot at me. But for months I didn’t know he was talking about me and I would go back and re-wind the song to hear what he said. And then I went back and listened to ‘Asylum Author’ and I was like ‘Oh Ok’. But the most significant thing about it is I’m an unsigned artist.

Robert – But do you consider it a diss or do you consider it just a mention?

WizeFool – To the street – that would be considered a diss and that would be beef. But to me, an unsigned artist, I took it as Jadakiss threw me a business opportunity; whether he knew if I was signed or not. I consider it a business opportunity; because when a platinum selling rapper disses an unsigned artist; that’s big.

Robert – Right. Do you plan to go back at him?

WizeFool – Naw, naw.

Robert – So it’s not really a ‘beef’, youR
