Statik Selektah is one of my old friends. In his early years, I personally witnessed his rise within the hip-hop ranks, making the pilgrimage from Boston to New York City as often as possible. offices were raided and the mixtape game was officially declared over, Static began releasing a commercial album with 100% of the production himself.
A catalog of ten studio albums soon to be released under his belt, featuring impressive hard-hitting performances from Wiz Khalifa, Action Bronson, Griselda and more, speaks for itself. . He has created special moments with his musical collaborations over the years. For example, they brought together hip-hop veterans Sean Price and Mac Miller on the same track, dropped a song on 2Chainz, and created an entire album together (release TBD). and of course Trill Statik The legendary Bun B series.

After all, Sweet Chick’s office was transformed into his pop-up recording studio, complete with his lounge, an artist with article-worthy hospitality.

At some point in this lovely evening, I am completely elated. I mean, I feel great and I’m ready to do some journalism. I’m going to make money here.I made the terrible mistake of interrupting Bun B when he was writing a rhyme. Without hesitation, I approached the Legend and fired the shot. “Where are we in the process?” I asked. he replied with a smirk. Well, maybe we should have played the Curb Your Enthusiasm theme music at that point.
