Nice, zal hem ff checken thanks. Ben benieuwd naar z'n nieuwe album.
Je hebt misschien gelijk over dat mensen misschien dachten dat er iets illegaals aan de hand was maar dat ze met 10 of 15 SWAT mensen komen, deuren kapot maken en camera's weg halen vind ik echt bizar. Verhaal verteld door J. Cole als je geintresseerd bent.
Ah duidelijk. Hmm, ja ik vind het niet per se echt heel bizar ofzo dat de omwonenden iets erachter zochten. Wel ziek dat er zo'n groot onderzoek achter zat haha.
Nah, het is een recording studio voor alle Dreamville artiesten. Verhaal van de producer over het lied en de beelden. Echt bizar. The “Neighbors” story is crazy. Basically Cole rented out a house in North Carolina. It’s not for him; it’s like a safe haven/creative workspace for all the Dreamville artists and producers. We call it the Sheltuh, and a lot of the album was recorded there.. It’s basically a studio in a basement, in the woods. It’s also in the suburbs of a pretty wealthy neighborhood in North Carolina. So you have, predominately, African-Americans coming in and out of this house. Ubers coming, and every once in awhile you’ll see a group of us outside on the porch smoking weed. So the neighbors started getting real paranoid. Apparently what happened was, we were all in Austin, Texas, for SXSW; thankfully no one was in the house when this went down. One of the neighbors told the police we were growing weed or selling drugs out of this house. And there was a huge investigation, like a million-dollar investigation. They flew helicopters over, sent an entire SWAT team armed with weapons, broke down the door and searched the whole house. Thankfully nobody was in the house. Our engineer Juro “Mez” Davis had just stepped out for lunch and he came back and saw the SWAT team busting down the door. They go downstairs and all they see is a studio, and obviously they felt stupid. It’s just crazy ironic because out of anybody, they picked the wrong person. J. Cole is the last person to do anything like that. He’s out here doing extremely positive things for the community and for young artists. Because of obvious racism from the neighbors, the police were called and a raid took place.
