FABERGE AND KZA: Rap is best when you’re hungry
Watch episode ▶Description
Faberge and KZA give their first interview — exclusively on Buđenje. The two friends and collaborators discuss their musical journeys, studio work and the crew that went from Apolo to Bassivity.
They came to Niš with their crew, including Venok and Vitić, for Faberge’s performance promoting “Crni sneg”. The visit also provided an opportunity to discuss the music they make, working together and the audiences they perform for.
The conversation covers Faberge’s albums “Sirene” and “Crni sneg” and KZA’s debut album “DŽUNGLA”. We discuss returning to music, different approaches to writing and recording, freestyle, autotune and the role of producers. Topics also include TikTok, promoting songs, live setlists and audience energy — including the mosh pits that have become part of their shows.
