"For some reason, I like the remix album better than the original one. I don't know, I feel like the beats are more Madlib style. Y'know how Madlib does his projects. It's like unapologetically himself."Watch this moment

"Osibisa, I'm telling you. My dad is always like, you gotta check this record out, you gotta check this record out."Watch this moment
"There's one remix of mine that's in there and I don't have a copy in my house. It's one of my favorite remixes I ever did too. I'm actually singing on this one too, just for fun."Watch this moment
"I love me some Barry White, you know. The intro on this song, 'Standing in the Shadows of Love.' It's just crazy how the song starts, it's like this crazy build-up. And 'I'm Gonna Love You Just a Little More Baby' is like one of my favorite joints there."Watch this moment
"Digital Zandoli. This is a sick, really sick compilation of like Caribbean music from Haiti, from Guadeloupe. I was really looking for a lot of artists, in a sense, that were doing disco, mixing that with their Caribbean roots."Watch this moment
"I don't know how it's gonna sound like, but something about the new wave sound that really intrigues me. The drum machines and, y'know the synths they're using are probably like the same similar synths. And how off key they are when they sing as well. But it really sounds dope."Watch this moment
