HP: The District is really good. I'm not sure Houston has seen too much like it that was actually birthed in our city. It gets love from hip-hop heads for sure, but someone please explain why the Mayor has jammed your CD.

Scottie Spitten: His son's a player on our [basketball] team I help coach. We had this camaraderie-type team trip to Waco. The team and all the fathers were eating breakfast one morning and [Mayor White] came up to us, 'cause all the coaches were sitting at one table. He was like, "Which one of you raps?" or "Which one of y'all has a CD?" and I said "I do," and he was like, "Wow, man. It's really, really good. I'm not saying that just to be saying it. We were listening to it on the way down here." His son had bought one from me, so that's what they were jammin'.

Eight is Enough: H.I.S.D. stay after school.

HP: So basically, Mayor Bill White favors improving air pollution standards, public-private initiatives and your CD? That's dope. Where can people pick up this "officially endorsed" CD?

Scottie Spitten: Ha, I don't know about all that.

King Midas: I'll say it, yes, he officially endorses us. (Laughs.)

Soul One: Y'all gon' get that man fired, stop playing. But you can get the CD through our MySpace www.myspace.com/hisd, or you can go to Soundwaves.

King Midas: You can come to my house and get one too. You can download illegally at any shady Web site and I don't even care; just leave us a message or something. Let us know what you thought, man.
