Sounds like a typical collaborative process, right? Well, then things got musical.
"Also, I showed him my archives of records and he sang something for me, for my team. It was good synergy, exchange of sensation and love.”
After moving past Kanye, Zanotti revealed that he might soon collaborate with Kid Cudi, as well as Will.I.Am and Nicki Minaj. As for hip-hop overall, he said, “I’m a big fan of artists. Some are hip hop, some are not. I think hip-hop is a sound, it’s an energy, but also it’s poetry.”
