No Jumper - The Craig Xen Interview

Поделиться
HTML-код
  • Опубликовано: 11 сен 2024
  • I found out about Craig Xen a few months back through the magic of Soundcloud and his star has been steadily rising since. Tyler Grosso recently became a fan and has been working closely with Craig so it seems big things are on the horizon. I got him in the studio for an interview and found out that there's much more to the man than meets the eyes. Enjoy the interview.
    Side note, the song in the intro is "Rape Rape" by IDKJeffrey and definitely deserves more analysis/commentary than what was said in this interview. I like Jeffrey's music but I don't want anyone to see this interview and take it as a full fledged endorsement of the lyrics in that song.
    I didn't have time to do the timestamps but feel free to write them out in the comments and I'll add them in.
