[Video] The Come Up Show interviews Art of Fresh & Kae Sun
“You might have heard of boom-bap music before but you most likely haven’t heard of butta fat boom-bap. This is where the Art of Fresh come in; consisting of producer/emcee Slakah The Beatchild and D.O.
D.O. is recognized by the Guinness World Records as the first to achieve the longest freestyle at 8 hours and 45 minutes. Slakah The Beatchild has won a Juno for his producing.
In our interview the Art of Fresh discusses their sophomore album When The Night Comes In, touring Asia, and the universal language that we know as music.”
As y’all know Art of Fresh‘s When the Night Comes In was one of my favorite albums of last year. Check out some of it HERE and also HERE.
