It’s Saturday
afternoon, I was headed to score an exclusive interview with RZA of Wu-Tang after
3 subway trips, a bus, and a swift run to the office I missed RZA by 20
minutes. However I lucked up on one of the industry’s unknown gems and one of
my favorite underground female lyricists Chan.
Sitting
in an expansive conference room in Legend’s Studios New York offices waiting
for an intern to deliver a cheese omelet and a large orange juice from the
bodega up the block is a woman just shy of 5 feet dressed in a t-shirt and sweats, diligently writing in a
notebook while Universal Music Group A&R play her beats for what could be a
new mixtape; as a fan I am both excited and anxious to talk to quiet mystery
known as Chan.
“I don’t know what to expect,
honestly, I always fuck things up. Story of my life. How are you a fan of mine?”
And
that is how the interview began…
