Please breakdown the creative process of your new album “The Art of Procrastination 2“. And tell us a little about the album cover concept!
I used this project to show how people who wouldn’t necessarily meet from my city could be apart of a cohesive project. I used the sounds that interested me the most at the time to bring together people like Bendy Face, Lordy, breeze fiend, and neftali and more and show the versatility of the buffalo sound. As far as the album cover concept I just wanted to show where I came from to where I am the baby pictures and all the collage work was just to show my transformation Big shoutout to Kahlil Senpai on that my boy always bless me.

It would have to be Slow Down or Tony Hawk Pro Skater.
