Balkan Bump: Super Bowl Commercial and working with CloZee, Beats Antique, and Bonobo

Balkan Bump and I sat down and discussed his storied career including how he started working with Gramatik, his collab with CloZee and playing with her at Coachella, playing shows with Beats Antique, Moon Hooch, and Bonobo, licensing his song Aymo with Talib Kweli and Gramatik to Porsche for a SuperBowl Commercial and more. It was an absolute pleasure to sit down with Will and pick his brain. Enjoy.
