Name credit goes to the Wu-Tang Name Generator (the same one that named Donald Glover “Childish Gambino)...
There's a lot of concern about fame and popularity within consumer culture in Superflat, and I believe these are often domains of extreme levels of toxic objectification...
I manically decided to go to McDonalds, went on Instagram live and was just screaming the idea over and over, got back home still live and recorded it all to a click track, no beat, then made the beat after. A crazy moment that everyone from Anthony Fantano, to T-Pain, to Knxwledge reacted to and enjoyed thoroughly...
Ngủ ngày ngay ngày tận thế (we shorthand it as N4T2) is sort of the culmination of what was the past 3 years (2017-2020) because of how we record our work...
The sound selection in some of the instrumentals were really unique and haven’t heard anything like it in some of the previous projects like space requiem, spiral, and four walls. shellboy has some new style melodies/flows on this project that i haven’t heard them use before like on no evil and guardian angel...

I’ve always wanted to make my own music purposeful in luring the listener either further into themselves or conversely, further beyond themselves...
I see so much magic all the time, whether it be sleight of hand tricks, performers, disappearing acts, communication and mimicry from afar. It's such beautiful, cool, scary things. Magic isn't just for fairytales but for the guy who disappears from the neighbourhood when he's running from the cops...
Nearly every Thursday night, we would park our cars at Comps and have a listening party for which ever rap album we chose to listen to when the clock struck midnight...

Again, like last year, this is my neurodivergent, smooth-brain Zoomer opinion, so if you don't like my picks, I can't help you (and you don't like good music)...
Admittedly this was my third time seeing Zedd...
I’ve been lucky that I’ve always had more ideas for music than time to produce them all, so in the beginning, it was easy. I was releasing 15-20 tracks a year, and labels were eating them up...
