Minutes after first meeting each other in a tattoo shop, ZillaKami and SosMula knew they were destined to find stardom together. The two took over the shop’s computer and started working on beats, and just like that, City Morgue was born.
We sat down with the two rappers to talk about their latest album, “City Morgue Vol. 3,” their wild videos, the perils of performing when sick to your stomach and much more in a free-wheeling conversation.
Y’all wanna introduce yourselves? How are you all doing today?
SosMula: Chillin’. I’m hungover.
ZillaKami: Tired. I’ve been up for a couple days. I’ve been on a flight. We just had Rolling Loud.
Which one? LA?
ZillaKami: Yeah, well, San Bernardino.
How was that?
ZillaKami: It was OK. I was sick, fighting through it.
Playing shows when you’re sick kinda sucks.
ZillaKami: It’s crazy, you’re trying not to shit yourself. Literally trying not to shit yourself when you jump.
So… ever shit yourself at a show?
ZillaKami: (Laughing) You know what’s funny? There was this one show where I had on a red jumpsuit. We had an intermission and I came back in a grey jumpsuit… that’s what happened. I had the runs and I thought I could turn it up. I jumped up in the air and it was over for me.
There was this punk festival I used to be involved with in New York, and one year three members of a four-member band shit their pants over the course of the weekend.
ZillaKami: That’s kinda fire though… they definitely planned that.
What’s been the best Rolling Loud for y’all?
SosMula: I think the New York one was probably the best. Miami was pretty lit too.
ZillaKami: New York is usually better for us. San Bernandino was just a really bad day for everybody.
Which day did you play in New York this year?
SosMula: It was the last day of tour, matter of fact. What was our last day of tour, October 29, 30? One of those days.
We played Rolling Loud and then
