Interview | @Doughbeezy, @KABThaDon & @Doublebe_HWC: The Headwreckas
Doughbeezy
Lornhornbrit and myself recently had a chance to talk with the people’s champ Doughbeezy and a few of his fellow Headwreckas, Kab Tha Don and Doublebe. Still riding the wave of back to back mixtape success with ReggieBush & Koolaid and Blue Magic, Doughbeezy is acclaimed as “The next to blow” from Houston. It’s no wonder Doughbeezy is the people’s champ. Then there’s Kab Tha Don; a demanding force on the mic, just give him the stage and step out of the way. His first mixtape, Bully on The Beat, without a doubt explains his approach. Doublebe just wants to have fun, or go “HAM.” A performer a heart, Doublebe effortlessly transitions from the booth to the stage. Three different approaches to music with the same goal in mind: to win.
LonghornBrit: How were the Headwreckas formed?
Doughbeezy: Al, my manager, started Headwreckas. It was a clique of dudes that played football at Clearbrook High School. My second year in school I became a Headwrecka. Since I rap I always represented Headwreckas. That’s where the movement pretty much started.
With Doublebe being one of my bros I brought him into the fam. A couple years down the line, I started going to Kickback Sundays. Met Big Boss Mac Kab up there. We used to always chop it up outside of Kickback Sundays during the week. We thought instead of us not working together let’s join forces and make the movement even stronger.
QueenBobbi: So when y’all were doing Kickback Sundays, yourself and KAB, at the same location?
Doughbeezy: Yea it was only one location for Kickback Sundays. SF2 has 2 locations [but Kickback] was always held at the North location. After the 5th week I was there every single week. But just to make it clear and put it on record KAB was the only one that was there every single week from the very first Kickback until the very last one of the first season.
Kab Tha Don: Kickback killer motherfucker! That nigga heard about it and we started talking about it on Twitter. I thought he was beefing. I was ready to beat him up at first [Laughs]. We really connected and shit. We was the only 2 niggas really making the most noise, so we just thought if we came together we could make even more noise.
QB: Do you still have that Headwreckas piece and chain? [Laughs]
Dough: No I don’t. Actually that chain is in the trunk of a car somewhere. I wasn’t expecting that one. That one came from left field. [Laughs] It was like a silver chain. A big ass silver chain is said like Doughbeezy at the top and Headwreckas Corporation. I was hustling, thought I was doing something.
KAB: Silver huh?
Dough: Yea man a little silver chain. Wasn’t any rhinestones or nothing like that on it though. Don’t try to do me that bad.
LB: Doublebe, when you opened up for KAB you said your dad named you.
Doublebe: Yea my daddy named me Doublebe.
QB: Have you ever sat down and said “daddy what were you thinking?”
Yea he told me a lot of stories. The main reason he named me that is because he already got a junior, Bobby Joe. They call him B-Joe. I was born from another mother. He couldn’t name me Bobby Joe Foster. They were already calling him B-Jo so he just named me Doublebe Joe Foster. It’s like the 2nd duplicate of him.
LB: You say “IZM” and “HAM” a lot. What does “IZM” mean?
The ability of obtain information as well as the ability to pass it on.
QB: Was that “ISM” at all influenced by GLC, from Chicago, because he says that as well?
Hey I follow that guy! I seen him on Twitter and I hollered at him about that, but it was just a coincidence. I put the Z on mine because I got my own little flavor. I don’t know the definition of their ism.
