Summary: If you thought OverDoz was all about weed and women then you’re mistaken. Sure, the four-man crew comprised of Creamie, Kent, Joon, and P likes to party but -- as evidenced by the video for “Rich White Friends” and this interview -- the group’s members have a lot more on their minds than just ass and grass. Prepping their major label debut on RCA Records and boasting collaborations with marquee artists like Pharrell Williams and A$AP Ferg, the OverDoz boys are on the verge of becoming one of rap’s hottest new acts. But with all of that attention comes more scrutiny and, according to Joon, responsibility: “There’s kids listening to us that’s going to try to do everything I do.” The father of a three-year-old son himself, Joon realizes just how impressionable young people can be. “Even if I tell them not to do it they’re [still] gonna try to do it! It’s like: ‘Damn, what am I really gonna tell these kids to do?’” At SXSW 2015 OverDoz took a break from all the stage-diving and schmoozing to talk to Microphone Check about their newfound influence and a wide range of topics that included everything from losing sneakers to Booker T. Washington.
