Chichat: Voices Of Black

Who were you in highschool ?

Jules: That kid that new too much about different genres of music. My senior year i had a c in a class but for whatever reason the teacher allowed us to play "name that tune" for bonus points. Every five points bumped our grade up .5. I got over 50 points throughout the year and at the end of the semester he came up to me and said. You're supposed to get a C+ but your knowledge of music is so good i'm giving you an A-. He told me I should be pursuing music, and we still talk to this day. 

Baba: i was a straight-A student, but got bored really easy so i always caused trouble. i used to get yelled at  constantly for banging out beats on the desk with my hands and pencils, or because i was doodling crazy caricatures of my teachers and classmates. the only classes that i liked and  wasn't a nuisance in was art class and writing/literature. 

What do you need to create a good piece of music ?

Jules: Anything that records and doesn't crash along with a healthy mental state
Baba : a good chunk of time, and a warm beverage; preferably tea.

What is the best gift we could buy you with 100 dollars ?

Jules: A meal at Bread Nolita [New York] & deep tissue massage
Baba: An original Fela Kuti record on vinyl, i've been scouring the internet for them for a while now.

One idea the music business should use ?

Jules: buy one get one free

Baba: focus on longevity and growth. too much throw-away 

junkie-poo these days.

Who is the most exciting as well as rather undercover producer right now ?

Jules: VDE & Nite

Baba:  right now? a dude named Derek Fukumori.
