U-N-I Interview @ Format Mag

Check out the U-N-I interview over at Format Mag!

Format: You guys mentioned A Love Supreme, is that the name of your next album?

Y-O: Yeah, it’s all produced by this producer named Ro Blvd. He produced “The Launch” off the Fried Chicken & Watermelon street album.

Format: Can you talk a little bit about the album?
Thurzday: Basically it’s just expanding our sound. A lot of people got good vibes off Fried Chicken & Watermelon, and we just want to expand that. Really show people what all we can do, and what else we can do before we go to an official release. We just want to gain as many fans as possible, you know, independently. It’s us working on our own and expanding on our own, basically. All of our tracks are produced by Ro Blvd. It’s really no other way to describe it other than an Aquemini-Stankonia feel to it. But it’s still U-N-I.
