Dee-1’s “Don’t Be Scared” Interview Fresh off an interview with Slim Jesus , David, Danni and Janne chatted with New Orleans rapper  Dee-1  about his celibacy, his Lil Wayne mixtape getting banned and his battle with depression. On his vow of celibacy till marriage: I’m living the pure life right now. Ain’t no sex, ain’t no self pleasure. I’m so open and transparent at this point in my life. I haven’t always been this way but at this point […] Ultimately I’m a very god fearing man, I don’t think if I try to do it the right way and honor God by not having sex before marriage I don’t think he’ll allow it to be bad. On his “Separated At Birth”mixtape being stalled by Young Money: I just went through some craziness with the whole YMCMB thing. I was gonna do a mixtape called “Separated At Birth” based on me and Lil Wayne; it got banned. The night before my mixtape was gonna come out my record label called me from New York frantically like; ‘You can’t put the mixtape out!’ They were like ‘Nah there’s potential that lawsuits might fall upon us, your physical safety might be at risk.’ All I was doing was taking Lil Wayne concepts and flipping them and doing a 180 on them to make them more conscious alternatives to his subject matter. Some of the songs are very direct though, one song in particular called “Call Your Bluff” might seem like I’m calling Lil Wayne out and I kind of was. On depression: “I realized that me doing it on my own and trying to talk to friends, that train has kind of run its course. It’s time for me to talk to people who do this for a living. A lot of this revolved around this time last year, I was out here for the BET Hip-Hop Awards and I just remember you’re supposed to smile on the red carpet, smile for interviews, I was on the cypher last year—meanwhile I”m just hurt on the inside. That’s an interesting dynamic to have to live through, it’s tough.
