In this week’s AOTW, we had the opportunity to catch both Chace Infinite and DJ Khalil in the studio. Chace was more than willing to bless us with some of the new (actually old, but still highly relevant) material for their upcoming, Designer Music EP.

The 2nd half of the interview is especially dope as Chace breaks down the song, “For The J’s” and how it relates to the street fashions so many of us rock today.
