Freedom Williams telephone interview by Steve Smith

Little Cube News: So what are you doing now?

Freedom Williams: I have a portable recording studio down in Shreveport, LA.

LCN: Wow! So you’re still in the “biz"?

FW: I’m freelance now, but yes. Sometimes, on weekends, I get my game on down at the Outdoor Swapmart on Rosewood. I can rhyme anything in an instant. What did you say you name was again?

LCN: Rex.

FW: Where you from?

LCN: Umm...Sacramento.

FW: And what color shirt are wearing?

LCN: Royal Blue, I think.

FW: Let me go to work... Rex / Rex / he likes sex / Rex / Rex / he likes sex [ed. note- Williams then presses sequence of buttons on phone to demonstrate melody] What do you think?

LCN: That was dope. On 'Things That Make You Go Hmmmm" you sang, "Seventeen and I was havin' a ball / Eleventh grade and "Joe" I knew it all." Who is Joe?

FW: Clivilles wrote that, I think. I don't know. I think that was his boy from the day, or something.

LCN: Then you sang, "I fell in love for the very first time / With this girl she really blew my mind." Did you mean what I think you meant by "blow" and somthing else by "mind"?

FW: I said I didn't write that.

LCN: Any thought of a C + C Music Factory reunion?

FW: I’ve put a few calls into Cole, but nothing so far. Shit. That would be hot! Gonna make you sweat ‘til you bleed. Is that dope enough? Indeed!

LCN: Indeed it is. Indeed it is... David Cole did die three years ago, right?

FW: I don't think that's true. I mean, you can say it's true, but that don't mean it's true, hear me? I can say the moon isn't real, but that don't make it true now does it?

LCN: I guess not. I guess not..
