Ceschi Discusses His Incarceration & The Future of Fake Four

Over the past half decade, Fake Four Inc. has ascended the ranks, and earned a place amongst hip-hop’s elite independent labels. Led by label owner Ceschi, and having a roster that includes heavyweights such as Awol One, Open Mike Eagle, Astronautalis, Myka 9, Louis Logic, and Busdriver, Fake Four’s four fingered logo on the back of an album has come to represent quality much the same way the Def Jam, and Def Jux, logos did in the past.

All of Fake Four’s growth is in danger of coming to a screeching halt, however, as last week Ceschi was shuffled off to a prison in New Haven, CT. His 18 month sentence, only nine of which he has to serve, a result of drug charges of dubious validity.

Just days before Ceschi left to serve his sentence he sat down with RapReviews for an exclusive interview where he told the full story behind what landed him in prison, which includes a coerced confession, and officers operating by their own set of rules. Ceschi also discussed how Fake Four will be run while he’s gone, the importance of the label’s current Indiegogo campaign, and why he’d be perfectly fine with artists sending their demos to him during his incarceration.
