Chaps: Introduce yourself, crews, affiliations, and discography.

Joe Dub: Joe Dub / Old, no longer Young, Joseph. Workforce, Dub Brothers, Pain Killers, Love Bomb, San Francisco Street Music, Asita Recordings, La2thebay /Invisible Enemy. "Summer Fling" and "The Walk," those are the most recent releases, but there's twenty years worth on top of those.

Do you think that having three names is confusing for people to keep straight?

Yeah I guess for people just becoming hip to what I do it can be confusing, but at the same time there are different sides to me. As dumb as it sounds, each name kind of represents a part of me. I got this song on my new album I did with Omid where I address that, I say "I'm Young Joe when I'm drunk... Old Joe with my love... Joe Dub to my homies... Joe Bell's all the above," so I guess "Summer Fling" falls under the name Young Joseph. It's a very immature album content-wise, a lot of womanizing and teenage shit. "The Walk," which was under the name Old Joseph, is more grown up, what I'd like to call mature music. I'm not the same person I was four years ago, I'm older, I've smoked thousands of cigarettes and they've aged me, I'm Old Joseph now. I don't even feel young anymore; I cough when I breathe... hahaha.

Do you like rapping or producing better? Explain.

Honestly, I used to prefer rapping over producing because I had fools like Alex75, Deeskee, Liferexall, Antimc, and Subtitle making beats for me, which made writing raps easy.
