Out of Los Angeles California, Oakland transplant, Cory Scoffern (AKA The Grouch), is continuing to make a mark in the West Coast rap scene as a prominent figure who has helped to pioneer and spotlight what was once considered an underground movement. The rapper/producer/beatsmith made his dent with the infamous, 8-strong Living Legends crew and with such projects as G&E, Mystic Journeymen, and CMA.  In 2008, The Grouch has already released two albums; “The Gathering“, with the Legends crew, and his first solo album in 5 years, “Show You the World“.  Since the release of his last solo effort, 2003′s “Crusader for Justice“, Scoffern has released “No More Greener Grasses” (G&E), Classic (Living Legends), Sound Advice (w/ Daddy Kev), All Over (CMA), and “Heroes in the City of Dope” (with Zion-I) as well as experienced the birth of his first child.  After promoting Show You the World earlier this year with a tour and between a handful of G&E shows which will take him to Victoria and South Wales, before embarking on a full on West Coast run with the Legends, he definitely has a lot on his plate.  Somehow, in the midst of all of this, the lyricist took time out of his schedule and was accomodating enough to answer some questions for us at MonsterFresh.com.
