Last Friday saw the release of highly anticipated new album from Danny Brown - "Quaranta". One of the main producers of this album is Kassa Overall - one of the most interesting musicians on the jazz scene, phenomenally talented and Grammy-nominated drummer and producer, a musician, for whom boundaries between genres do not exist - on his projects Kassa mixes jazz, rap, soul and electronic music and many others, creating truly unique sound.

When Kassa visited Warsaw (along with Tomoki Sanders, Matt Wong and Bendji Allonce), we sat with him for a small conversation. We talked about his new album, absolutely fascinating and genre-blending "Animals", about Kassa's hip-hop beginnings and favorite albums, and his own hip hop projects - including "Peaceful Solutions" with Kool A.D. and mysterious group Secret Museum of Mankind. We also talked a bit about his work on Danny Brown's new album, and last but not least - we remembered the late great Roy Hargrove, a big inspiration for Kassa. Enjoy!
