The Interview (1:57).
If you’re like me, and have found yourself marvelling at how great a Backwoodz Studioz record is sounding, it is all but guaranteed that sound God Willie Green was behind the boards... fine tuning the sound to perfection.
That standard of quality you’ve come to expect from a Backwoodz album has been cultivated by the sure hands of beatmaker and audio engineer, Willie Green.
This is a man who’s contributions to the genre’s most impactful movement of the last decade plus, cannot be understated. Decades from now when they tell the story of Backwoodz, Willie Green should, and will be at the forefront of this discussion.
Therefore, I am absolutely honoured to have Green on the show, where he opened up on the value of audio engineering work, and how he approaches his craft, along with his perspectives on notable musical trends, and the continued rise of Backwoodz Studioz.
