    I love Just Blaze's combination of curiosity and virtuosity. From the outset of his career his ambition has been to explore the limits of his own creativity-never being content to live in a box-and he matches that passion with discipline and a conscientious desire for mastery that is just so inspiring. It's one thing to want to be versatile, it's another thing work tirelessly to achieve it.
    Hope you guys enjoy watching our conversation as much as I did having it.

      I thoroughly enjoyed it! You asked great questions and I love watching Just Blaze interviews because I'm such a big fan of his production. With so much content coming out calling his creativity into question on other podcasts, I stand in support of him and his legacy because of his genius as a producer as well as a mixing engineer. These things are evident when listening to his music and through what he says as well.
