Recently you released a project called Ossmatic. What inspired you to created the project?

There are two reasons why I decided to begin this project. Recently, the rapper Elzhi released a free album called ELmatic and the concept revolves around remaking a classic. I was so interested and influenced. I always think that 90's classics are like magic (the rap style and beats are so tight). So I made up my mind to dedicate my energy to the classic album.

Another reason is that I LOVE beat making. Every beatmaker has a different imagination for their own beat I think. I wondered what would happen if I remade Illmatic. So I decided to remake it.
