  • Episode 12 - WHO SHOT SCOTT
    Mar 2 2023

    It’s been while between drinks but we’re back for our final episode of the second series. We have the wonderful WHO SHOT SCOTT (Zaidoon ’Zee’ Nasir) in to chat about his production philosophies, creative tips and all things music. Known for self producing all his own music as well as his production for the likes of BLKCITY and Phodiso, WSS is making a name for himself as one to watch (literally stated by Rolling Stone Australia recently). His hard hitting hip-hop infused production and simple approach of getting the most from what you have provides the always timely reminder that it’s not what you've got but how you use it. This is a special one and definitely worth tuning in for. P.S apologies for the audio quality drop near the end due to some Zoom issues!
