SUCKA 4 LOVE: How long have you been DJ’ing?
MICK BOOGIE: A long time. Lol. Since like 97 for fun. Since like 2001 as a career.
TERRY URBAN: Too long.
SUCKA 4 LOVE: What spurred your interest?
MICK BOOGIE: Listening to people like Jazzy Jeff, Kid Capri, DJ Premier, and Funkmaster Flex.
TERRY URBAN: The X-Men dj crew.
SUCKA 4 LOVE: What’s your take on love (not necessarily intimate) and music?
MICK BOOGIE: There is a deep connection. Music, in and of itself, is an emotional art. Or rather, it should be. So the connections between it and the human emotional core run deep.
TERRY URBAN: They're the same thing to me. I give each one of these the upmost respect.
SUCKA 4 LOVE: We’re suckas 4 love what are some things you’re a sucka for?
MICK BOOGIE: Chipotle. Comic Books. Sneakers. Frequent Flier Miles.
TERRY URBAN: Fashion, art, chocolate and skateboarding
SUCKA 4 LOVE: When’s the last time you were in love – with anything?
MICK BOOGIE: Every day. Happily married to my wife Rana.
TERRY URBAN: Living in NYC you fall in love everyday with something new. There's so much inspiration out here. I find myself saying everyday "OMG I love this!"
SUCKA 4 LOVE: Although you currently reside in New York City, how do you feel you put the “OH” in Ohio?
MICK BOOGIE: I know Ohio made me say "oh shit" a few times. Lol. But when I lived there, and when I return to visit, it's always fun to give it your all creatively and make sure Ohio is continuing to rise.
TERRY URBAN: I feel Mick Boogie and I have put the Oh in Ohio as far as Cleveland is concerned. We still give back to Ohio even though we live in NYC. For instance our new mixtape coming out with Cle's own Chip Tha Ripper and we still maintain monthly parties in Cleveland.
SUCKA 4 LOVE: If you had to make a mix-tape for your girlfriend, what would be the top five songs?
MICK BOOGIE: I actually proposed to my wife via a sequenced mixtape, so I kinda have to keep the songs secret. But it was dope.
TERRY URBAN: Mint Condition-Pretty Brown Eyes
The Isley Brothers-Living For The Love Of You
The Gap Band-Yearing For Your Love
Chaka Khan-Sweet Thing
Ludacris-Pussy Poppin
I definitely feel where Mick Boogie is coming from with the "OH SHIT" line but after being here for 6 year I can say Ohio has definitely grown on me and I love Ohio. I hope my DC friends don't try to revoke my DC card. LOL. That mixtape that he used to proposed to his wife is definitely a great example of the deep connection between love and music. I am currently looking for that mixtape right now. I once made a t-shirt for a girl I was dating as a birthday present. Maybe I'll ask my next girlfriend to be my girl via t-shirt. Something simple like the old school "Will you be my girlfriend" with the yes, no and maybe box. Enough about me, Mick Boogie's and Terry Urban's latest project is a collaboration with Lemar and Dauley titled "Le Da Soul-20 years of De La Soul" and which dropped November 25, 2009.
