If you wanna do rare mfs in hip hop, you GOTTAAA do an interview w/ Art Dealer. Carti's creative director and Long Time/Sky/Over/Control producer. You would genuinely be a legend in the community if you could get an interview w/ him, he's honestly THE MOST mysterious Opium member, even more so then Carti.

Opium represents so much, staying lowkey and in your lane, creating, learning, loving whatever art you want, just ultimately being your truest self. It's cool to see other likeminded people that are all into their own thing, approaching new stuff without any bias. Also cool to see Opiumbaby is into Radiohead, Alice in Chains and Bjork, those are some influential artists for sure. I hope the stuff he's working on becomes successful, anyone else who's trying to follow their passions, I hope the same. Solid interview 👌
