About this listen

New York's The Kollective—Kevin Bridges and Locksmiff—break down how church training shaped their musical DNA and why most artists today skip the fundamentals. These producer-songwriters reveal the brutal truth about getting critiqued by church congregations, explain why groups can't stay together anymore, and share how they turned a Biggie sample into their breakout hit "Mesmerized." From working with Life Jennings to building their own musical empire, they discuss the death of artist development, why copying other artists is killing creativity, and how they're bridging the gap between 90s R&B greatness and today's microwave music culture. Kenny D digs deep into their top-five artist lists, tests them with rapid-fire "who you got" matchups, and gets the real story behind their Mission Control Recordings partnership and upcoming projects.
