“At the heart of the album is the issue of the artist’s freedom and reflections on the interaction between the musician and the music industry. It was important for me to emphasize the underground or independent music aspect – I have heard that being an underground musician in Latvia is I don’t think so. also, more precisely, an attempt to write such a manifesto: somewhere in the flames of the album you can see Vladimir Nabokov’s novel “Dar” and Federico Fellini’s film “8½”, but “Yes” is my story – the story of hip-hop in me and me in hip-hop ” says Arturs Skutelis.
The album “Yes” was recorded during the past year in several Latvian cities, most of the recordings were made in Riga, in the studio “msonic Baltic”. The album was edited by Jānis Šmēdiņš (FAKTS) in Jelgava, in the studio “PrimeTime Records”.
