IN THE STUDIO with Zo! & Tall Black Guy – Abstractions (Episode 03)

Posted on by

Just as the pandemic was beginning to shut everything down back in March of 2020, Donnie Seals of Digife captured Tall Black Guy and I creating and recording in the studio for three consecutive days. We were working through sessions and material that would result in our album, Abstractions.

In this third and FINAL episode, take a glance behind the scenes and observe how we joined creative forces to put together what would become our opening track (and first single), “Talkin’ To Myself” featuring BeMyFiasco.
