1- Let's get to know Lyrical Assasins?

Hey Ozcan buddy, first of all, I owe you a debt of gratitude for giving us a place on your site. Lyrical Assassins, or Verbal Harassment, was founded in 2000 by Eazy-T, Sener-E, and Killer Face. Sener-E has been trying to do something for Turkish rap since 1994. He has one album that came out of the underground so far. Eazy-T started getting involved with rap in 1993. He is a big fan of Eazy-E, and this is evident in his nickname: Eazy-T (meaning Eazy-Turk). Actually, Eazy was supposed to release a single album this year, but due to some problems, it didn't happen. Killer Face, that's me, got to know Turkish rap through Cartel (with my endless respect) and started making lyrical rap for Turkish audiences in 1998.
2- We know you participated in Inceefe's project... will you be participating in any other projects?

We are not currently involved in any other projects. Of course, our doors are always open to incoming offers. By the way, I send my regards to Inceefe from here, thanks for including us in this project, buddy, we won't let you down.

3. What is the Turkish rap scene like in the Netherlands?

Interest in Turkish rap is growing in the Netherlands, but it's still not enough. More than half of my friends here don't know any rap groups other than Cartel, Karakan, and Erci-E. Those who know the real Turkish rap scene are in the minority, but that's changing, and that makes me very happy. We're trying our best to introduce and popularize Turkish rap here. Let me give you a simple example: just a year ago, my close friends didn't like or appreciate rap, but I forced them to listen to it, and believe me, today they all listen to rap.

4. Do you have any album ideas? If so, when will they be released?

Of course we have album plans! We've been working on an album for about six months now. The tracks for the album have been carefully selected, and studio recordings have slowly begun. We're not rushing; better late than never. We're preparing a very good album for you. For now, all I can say is wait and see. God willing, we plan to release the album after the summer, but I won't make any promises just in case.

5- Will Sener E continue as a solo artist?

He's not thinking about anything like that right now. But it's possible after the album comes out, why not? Time will tell.

6- Who would you like to collaborate with?

Oh, who wouldn't we want to be with? Speaking for myself, from Turkey: Alper Aga, Inceefe, Mic Check, Ceza&Fuchs, Mufreze, Sirhot; and from abroad: Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, X-Zibit, DMX, Mystical, U-God, and of course Eminem.

7. What is the current state of Turkish rap?

I think Turkish rap hasn't reached the level it deserves yet. We're still at the beginning of the road. Of course, there have been significant advancements in the last year. Bands like Nefret and Silahsiz Kuvvet have contributed a lot to Turkish rap and continue to do so. But of course, it shouldn't stop there. Every new Turkish rap album should be bought and supported. There shouldn't be any discrimination.

8 – Can you tell us the "best" ones?

How should I answer this question? I need to remain neutral. No offense intended, but in my opinion, these are the best:

Local titles: Karakan, Silahsiz Kuvvet, Nefret, Mufreze (keep it up kids), Sirhot, Ses, Sozlu Taaruz

Foreigners: Dr Dre, 2pac, Snoop Dogg, Dmx,X-Zibit,Eminem

9. At one point, there were private clashes between you (Killerface) and someone else in a private message. Could we find out the reason?

I don't really want to go into that too much. When I started rapping, I was known by the nickname Mc Nefret. But as you know, Nefret has an underground presence. To avoid upsetting either side, I decided to change my nickname and announced this in the guestbooks of various websites. However, on one site, a user said things that went beyond criticism. I responded to that. The situation escalated, and untrue, unspeakable things were written about me on the site. I exercised my right to defend myself, but for some reason, my brother Mc Kanun didn't publish it. I'm not angry at Kanun; may he be well. This matter is closed.

10- The group had an official website, but it recently shut down. Can we find out why?

Lately, I've been extremely busy and haven't been able to update the site, and since the server is down every single day, I've decided to shut it down for a while. However, the site will be back online in the future.

11- Finally, are there any people you would like to send greetings to?

First of all, greetings to you, my friend Ozcan. I'd love to see you in Amsterdam someday, come and visit us. Also, Alper Aga, Mic Check, Inceefe, Ceza, Fuchs, T-Style, Mufreze, Apak_mc, Aziza A, Mc Kanun, Duman, Fuat, and all my other friends whose names I haven't written down. Peace…
