The LA-based Aussie rapper talks falling in love with hip-hop, its influence and "In Motion."
He Likes to Take His Time During the Recording Process
"Sometimes I recorded things too many times maybe or worked on the beats for too long," he admitted. "I'm not really one of those people who can make six songs a night. I'm quite slower so hopefully I can be quicker one the next one."
He Met Japanese Wallpaper at the Airport
So how did "In Motion," his collaboration with Japanese Wallpaper come together? While Allday enjoyed the fellow Aussie's music, the two met coincidentally at a random place.
"I met him at an airport actually," he said. "I don't remember how we ended up in the studio together. I could have just asked him. He just has this great set of beautiful sounds. I don't know how he does it, but he has this recognizable style. So that's why instead of just having him as a producer, he does sing on it. I just put 'featuring Japanese Wallpaper' because anyone who hears it and knows him, knows it's him. It's pretty fun and we're making another song as well."
