We have a couple interviews to share with you from members of Zug Izland. First Ghettoblaster Magazine conducted an interview with Mike P..
In this discuss Mike P. talks about if there are advantages to being a rock band on a predominantly hip-hop label, if Zuggalos differ from Juggalos, the 10th anniversary of Cracked Tiles, his opinion of what is Zug Izland’s dopest banger, and more. You can check out part of this interview below.
From Ghettoblastermagazine.com:
Just taking the moniker Zug Izland shows your strong allegiance to Detroit. Can you explain how you came to adopt the name and what aspects of Detroit provide the most pride for you?
The island of Zug is an actual island on the southwest side of Detroit. It’s probably in the Guinness book of World Records as the dirtiest square mile on earth. It seemed an appropriate name for clean cut fellows like us on the dirtiest label on Earth. Detroit was one of the greatest cities on earth, a long time ago. Perhaps someday it can be again. It’s a really wild and fun place too. My family came to the Detroit area around 1880. Some of my ancestors had to do with building parts of Detroit, such as Eastern Market. Also some churches around Detroit have our name on plaques on their walls from the 1800s. Apparently they built it. I dunno — I was really young in the 1880s.
Are there advantages to being a rock band on a predominantly hip-hop label?
Yes. We can say we are the best rock band on this label. And it’s true.
Your fans are called “Zuggalos”. How did that clever turn of phrase come about? How do Zuggalos differ from Juggalos?
I think Violent J came up with the word Zuggalos. It’s all the same, we are all Juggalos.
