Right now, the norm is for labels to make decisions based on data. And they've all got access to more data than ever before, so it turns into a science. They look at the trajectory of streaming numbers and social media followings, and they avoid artist development...
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...

If pain's living on when your body's long gone - And your phantom regret hasn't let it go yet - You may not have died in the way that you must - All specters are haunted by their own lack of trust - When you're all out of time, there's nothing but space..
I thought it'd be funny to try and partner up with Whooshh Innovations and promote how they are improving the lives of Salmon and the people who eat their flesh. They haven't cut me a check, but maybe they bought an album or two, so whatever.
Ugly Mane is a catch-all for whatever creative drainage leaks out of me. I think it's a dumb name that makes most people immediately write me off and not investigate what I do purely based on the preconception of how dumb the name is. I like that...
The sense of community around during the festival was striking, given the dystopian nature of the early pandemic...
"The name Etran de L’Aïr translates to “the Stars of the Aïr,” the mountainous region of Northern Niger."

Obviously, it is much easier to keep in touch, exchange files and information. But nothing compares to the real organic work. That’s where the magic begins and it’s impossible to achieve it through the synthetic connection. Especially when the music is spontaneous and interactive...
Orion Sun has a bright future ahead, and I can't wait to see where she goes...
