With features from Lil Uzi Vert, A$AP Rocky, Tyler, the Creator, Pusha T, and more, 'I Know Nigo' offers a window into Nigo’s unique and eclectic sense of style.
“My whole career is about making and collecting physical objects,” he says. “For me, a music release still needs to have a physical version.” Nigo recalls the era before streaming when CD culture became the defining medium for hip-hop: “In the early 2000s, when I was spending a lot of time in the U.S. and making friends with people in the U.S. hip-hop world, everything was on CD.”
Axl, the London-based producer often credited with bridging U.K. and New York drill, is responsible for one ofs most exciting cuts, the Lil Uzi Vert-assisted “Heavy,” which offers a perfect distillation of Nigo’s creative talents. Sometimes it’s all about introducing the right people to one another. “It was more conversations like that,” Victor continues. “Like, ‘Oh, Nigo likes this person. Nigo’s interested in this person’s music.’ And then we would figure out a way to collaborate with them.
“There are old friends, people with whom I’ve had a relationship of mutual respect and inspiration over many years, together with newer friends, who have influenced me greatly, assembled in a kind of natural and not very planned way on this album,” Nigo explains. “The mutual respect between all of the collaborators is something that I will never forget. I consider them all great friends.”defies the logic of rap music in 2022.
