Class's personal album tally now stands at 12, but there's one small difference with the latest, Self Explanatory: for the first time, he's got a major label, Sony Canada, behind him. Thus, for the first time, the public at large stands a chance to hear one of the more gifted and pop-minded fixtures – Joel Plaskett guests on the new album along with Maestro, Moka Only, Royce 5'9" and, of course, Buck 65 – of a sturdy East Coast hip-hop scene that's still, as he puts it, "very grassroots. If you're from there, you know about it. If you're not from there, you don't." The Star spoke with the amiable 31-year-old MC known to his mom as Luke Boyd during his last trip to Toronto. Read the entire interview here and leave a comments on the Star's website. I met Classi in january of 2009 after Sony invited me to his photo shoot.
