Discorder Magazine: Who is the biggest influence on your sound?
So Loki: Based God. He speaks positivity to the youth.
DM: What is your favourite venue to perform at, or attend a concert at?
SL: We performed at a space in East Van called Warehaus a couple weeks ago and it was pretty gnarly. It was a blank canvas for us to be creative.
DM: As emerging artists based in the Lower Mainland, what is the biggest obstacle for getting noticed nationally and internationally?
SL: Touring visas for the US are getting more expensive, which is pretty lame. Not the biggest obstacle, but it’s a bummer.
DM: Do you think the hip hop and rap produced in the Pacific Northwest has a distinct sound or style?
SL: It used to be a lot of boom bap but it’s changing. Everyone is working at moulding the new sound as we speak.
DM: If you could be featured on a track with any current breakout artist, who would you want to collaborate with?
SL: BBNO$ or SONDER. They’re both pretty groovy.
