Fly In Formation 115 - Brainiac & Kjahn
For Episode 115, I connected with Ruze Records representative Brainiac & his Seattle based collaborator Kjahn, who talked about the creation of the album, in person sessions, linking through technology, respecting the traditional Hip Hop sound, an outside view on the Canadian scene, and a whole bunch of other important stuff. Kjahn was one of two American’s I’ve spoken to on FiF so far, the other being John Creasy. It’s all love for anyone anywhere who is pushing their art independently, I just don’t have enough time in a week to even begin to dig into the underground scenes in America, and right now I've lost a lot of love for the country on a political level and on the grounds that they’ve started publicly threatening our countries sovereignty while recklessly brandishing the most powerful military the world has ever seen. It’s nothing truly personal with every American, but ya fucked up this time, and I’ve never felt happier in my decision to focus my attention firmly North of the border.
