Jackie Chain's "My Complex" Interview & Video

Photography by Colin Lane

Since we named him one of the most underrated new rappers last year, we've kept a close eye on Jackie Chain. He initially caught our attention because well, we just don't really know of that many half-white, half-Korean rappers from Alabama with long hair. Oh, also because he's hilarious, whether rapping about drinking beer, doing drugs, getting laid, or living the good life. This week he'll be releasing his Block Beataz-produced street album, Who Da Mane?, so we got him to offer four contradictions from his life for our "My Complex" column in the October/November issue. Meeting on a rooftop in Manhattan, Jackie spoke on breaking down racial barriers, mixing psychedelics and cocaine, and talking to women when he's drunk. Check out the interview and video of him explaining Alabama slang below...
