[Video] Pharrell Interviews Nardwuar
And the tables have turned. While at SXSW Nardwuar, who now works for Pharrell at I Am Other, got to interview Skateboard P in typical "Doot Doola Doot Doo" fashion. Yet, after his classic catchphrase ended Pharrell took to a microphone of his own and began to interview the human serviette himself. Definitely a classic moment, and the 17 minute clip is must watch the whole way through. I'm surprised this hasn't happened before, but it's only right for P to do this one. Stream below.

So last night, up and coming producer Vela Seff hit me with his latest beat tape titled Progression 2.

Taking influences from the production on Midnight Marauders, The Sun Rises in The East, and Ironman, Seff has shown to have a nack for meshing an airy 90's sound, with his own modern style. Stream the project below.
