As he tells it, the group has been vigilantly practicing their social distancing, but still linking up to put in work on their climactic Culture chapter. As he tells it, the only time he leaves the house is to hit the studio — though don’t expect to see the album until the quarantine dies down. “Of course, the business has slowed down because we perform in front of masses of people,” he reveals. “Dropping music and all that, it’s at a standstill right now with us because we need to go out there and touch the people to push our albums to make our music work.”
