Mount Westmore spoke about their writing process ahead of their new album.

, Too $hort, and E-40 all sat down to discuss their writing process for a new interview with HipHopDX. The three members of Mount Westmore all explained how their techniques differ. For E-40, he says he likes to write off notes and bring them into the booth. Sometimes I read off notes. Like I take notes and Im like, Oh let me go to my notes, and then Im just like, Punch me in, E-40 said. When I say notes, like a couple little phrases or something. Then I say, Punch me in. I dont write it out like I used to. Back in the days we used to use hella paper. Now its just like, punch me in. You get the best out of it, I feel.

Cube explained that he could write on paper as well. I like to know my rhyme by the time we record it, I want to know it. I might have up there, but I dont want to rely on it, Cube said. He further explained: I think when you know your flow, you can experiment. When you know your rhyme, put it that way, you can experiment with the flow a lot more. But Im a writer.
