On this weeks episode of 7 Questions. I sit down with my friend Yogi. "As trap music makes its way from maligned subgenre to main stage staple, dance and hip-hop are locked in a closer embrace than ever. Few can claim to straddle the stylistic line as well as Yogi, the buzz worthy British production outfit now signed to both Dr. Dre’s Aftermath Entertainment and Skrillex’s OWSLA. Yogi’s first OWLSA offerings came in the form of the brooding “Christian Bale” and swaggering club hit “Burial,” which featured guest rapper Pusha-T and boosted Yogi’s profile by garnering more than 1.5 million Soundcloud plays. Followed by monstrous remixes from Skrillex & Trollphace, Moody Good, and Crookers." BILLBOARD --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/7questions/support
