DNA spoke on the controversial topic of ghostwriting within Battle Rap, in this VladTV interview with Battle Rap Journalist Michael Hughes. He acknowledged that battlers will often get help from their peers while preparing for battles, but he feels as though directly having someone pen your entire material is beyond dishonorable. DNA claims to have never seen official ghostwriting occur during his time involved with Battle Rap.
He concluded by addressing potential opponents that he would like to face off against in 2014.

In the vein of Pete Rock & C.L Smooth, Reflection Eternal, Gang Starr and other legendary hip-hop MC/Producer duos, Grand Opus is a newly formed group out of California and the nostalgia-inducing “Forever” is their debut single. Joc Scholar, the emcee out of Fresno and Bay-area producer Centric (who has worked with the likes of Sean Price, Kool G Rap, Rapper Big Pooh, Wordsmith and more), come together letting listeners know that hip-hop is very much alive on the West Coast. With Centric’s hard hitting drums and melodic chords combined with Joc Scholar’s mic presence and thought provoking rhymes, “Forever” captures with a feel of where vintage meets the future.
The music video was shot and directed by Gimante in San Francisco, Ca.
