"I was watching Searching for Bobby Fisher and Mark Hicks manager put in a Jerry Garcia documentary," says Proof, who also serves as Eminem's right-hand rapper. "In this movie, he talked about never doing the same show twice. I did that to D12 sets overseas. Plus, he didn't care about record sales -- he just wanted to make fans happy." In a nod to their similarities, Proof, born DeShaun Holton, named his debut Searching for Jerry Garcia. The album drops August 9th, the tenth anniversary of Garcia's death, on Proof's independent label Iron Fist Records. "I called his estate, and I couldn't believe they gave me permission use the name !" says the rapper. "They didn't ask for money. So I'm like a disciple, preaching the gospel of Jerry Garcia. The dude is phenomenal." Besides Garcia, Proof also gives a shout-out to Nirvana's late frontman in Searching's closing track, "Kurt Kobain" {Link without Title} . "The circumstances of Kurt's death are freaky to me. I don't think he killed himself," Proof says. "But I'm not trying to keep Elvis alive, and I'm not saying that Tupac is in Cuba." |
